Chapter 285 Surprise Visit
Leonard spoke in a solemn tone. “Jennifer, you shouldn’t give up on this opportunity. If you do, consider yourself cast away from the family!”
While checking Leonard and the others out, Jennifer was swallowed by endless grief.
These are my blood relatives whom Donald protected at the cost of his life. Are they even worthy of such sacrifice?
Jennifer had a meltdown as she collapsed on the floor, hugging her knees as she sobbed in silence.
“What happened?” Linda was taken aback.
“Mom, Donald had cancer. He only has another three months left to live.” Jennifer was mourning. “He’ll die soon despite his young age. He’s already on his death bed even though he’s not even thirty!”
For a moment, Linda was startled before feeling overjoyed. “It’s great that he would die soon! Serves that piece of trash right to contract cancer!”
Kevin laughed. “He’s a good-for-nothing. Isn’t it better if he dies?”
The heavens are on my side! I was worried that Jennifer would fall in love with Donald again. But I no longer have anything to worry about! Donald has cancer and only has three more months to live. Will Jennifer even love him anymore?
Leonard and Linda exchanged glances, noticing the look of delight in each other’s eyes. Leonard did his best to conceal his smile while putting on a sad face. “What a shame.”
“All right. Starting now, you need to stay away from Donald. Do you hear me?” Linda helped Jennifer up. “Cancer is infectious, so you should stop seeing him from now on!”
Cancer is infectious? Not only is my mother a snob, but she’s also an ignorant fool!
The following days passed by in peace. The success of the Rising Dragon Project boosted Yorksland’s authority within Nations’ Union.
Winter came ten days after the battle at the substation.
At Pollerton International Airport, a plain-looking private plane landed steadily on the tarmac.
An intimidating middle-aged man got out of it before putting on a hat. Then, he got into a normal car that drove him to Pollerton Estates.
He was headed to Supreme Villa, which was where Donald was staying.
He was already transferred back to Supreme Villa from Pollerton General Hospital to recuperate.
“Lord Campbell, Draco came to visit you,” reported Kingsley from outside the door.
Donald was gravely shaken.
The doors were opened afterward, and in came Draco.
“Donald.” Draco walked up to Donald to hold his hand with a frown.
“It’s an honor to see you, Draco.” Donald was moved.
Although Draco didn’t introduce himself, no explanation was needed for Donald to know who Draco was.
“Chiliad Avion already updated me on your condition. You’ve done us a great service,” Draco exclaimed as he sat down.
Donald shook his head. “I was merely fulfilling my duty.”
Draco hummed in recognition. “By the way, here’s a reward for you.”
After that, he handed Donald a box and opened it to reveal its contents.
It was a medal in the shape of a dragon’s scale. Donald’s pupils contracted in shock despite his usual unfazed temperament.
It was the Dragon badge, which symbolized an achievement on a national level.
Even families that had a history of five hundred years wouldn’t dare mess with him anymore.
Instead, he could easily wipe out one such family, such as the Campbell clan, given the rights he attained by being awarded that badge.
Even Luke, who was head of the Campbell clan, would have to kneel before whoever wore the badge in deference.
Draco sighed. “Your contributions are essential to Rising Dragon Project. You only have three months left, and I’m aware of the grudge you had against the Campbell clan. You have my permission to wipe out that clan if you so wish to.”
Donald was astounded.
Wipe out the Campbell clan…
None of the Ten Prestigious Families would dare, nor would they have the right to, make such a claim.
Even if Donald were to give it his all, he would only be able to drag the Campbell clan off its spot as the top among the Ten Prestigious Families, but never would he be able to wipe the clan out.
Yet, someone with a Dragon badge could do just that. In fact, anybody who had a Dragon badge could do that.
