Chapter 492 You Live Up To Your Name
“Don’t worry, Lord Campbell. Despite being no prominent family, the Qualls family still has some power. From now on out, I’ll do my best to help make things easy for you,” Yadriel vowed.
He was one of the first batches of warriors who kept guard over Quadfield, so he knew what that meant. “Besides, I’ll also tell Mr. Sanchez about this and have him erase traces of you at the critical juncture,” Yadriel added.
After all, it was better to have as few people as possible knowing about Donald’s identity as Lord Campbell. Anyone who was aware of his true identity was either people he trusted unquestionably, killed, or sent to Quadfield’s no man’s land to perform hard labor.
“Thank you. In that case, please excuse me,” Donald uttered. “Please wait for a moment, Lord Campbell. Mr. Sanchez has already awakened, and he’d like to see you,” Yadriel declared.
Donald was startled momentarily before he nodded in agreement. Upon returning to the Sanchez residence, he discovered that Solomon had already gotten out of bed. In fact, the man was walking out.
Having checked all the various readings, Gregor was wholly amazed. Donald’s capabilities are simply mind-boggling!
Melanie’s hostility toward Donald was all but gone. When she saw him walking in, her eyes lit up. She promptly rushed over to him. “I’m sorry, Donald. I apologize for my rashness earlier.”
She had a slender figure. As she spoke graciously in a crisp voice, she trained her beautiful eyes on the man. Donald merely spared her a glance before looking away, having no interest in taking another look at her. Neither did he reply to her.
Melanie gritted her teeth hard. The urge to finish off the man gripped her.
I’m one of the three most beautiful women in Jadeborough. Not only am I from a prominent family, but I’m also dubbed Princess Sanchez in the city. There’s a long line of men wishing to marry me!
Countless young and talented men in Jadeborough were crazy about her, fighting to get her attention. Alas, she didn’t like any of them.
I’ve always gotten whatever I want, yet this man isn’t even interested in taking a look at me. The instant Solomon caught sight of Donald, he chuckled. “Having seen you today, you certainly live up to your name.”
It was clear as day that he had also figured out Donald’s identity. That had Donald all the more wary. Ugh! My identity is still too sensitive that anyone with high status can tell without much effort!
They knew more than the average person, and he couldn’t possibly suppress himself all the time as he still needed to use many more techniques. “You flatter me, Mr. Sanchez,” Donald replied calmly.
He wasn’t fond of smiling. Perhaps it was because he had lived with bloodshed for too many years, but he didn’t smile easily. “Come in, and we shall talk.” Solomon pointed at the study. “Go and brew a pot of coffee, Melanie.”
Melanie was planning to listen to their conversation, but her grandfather gave her the boot. At once, chagrin swamped her.
In the study, Solomon commented, “Rumors always had it that Lord Campbell is only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old this year. Sure enough, you’re very young.”
Donald didn’t know how to respond to that, so he merely urged, “Let’s cut to the chase, Mr. Sanchez.”
Lowering his head, Solomon organized his thoughts. “I’ve long since heard about the conflict between you and the Campbell clan. Back then, I didn’t do anything to stop the Campbell clan when they made a move against your grandfather.”
Donald merely gazed at him expressionlessly. And so, Solomon continued, “The reason being, it wasn’t merely one prominent family who stopped me from doing so. The night before, at least five or six prominent families visited the Sanchez residence and threatened me.”
“It was the Irving family, the Youngblood family, the Campbell clan, the Collins family, and the Yeager family, right?” Donald stared right at the man. Hearing that, Solomon was momentarily stunned. Then, he lauded, “As expected of Lord Campbell, who allegedly has the best intelligence network in the world!”
“It’s okay. I’ll settle my grievance with the Campbell clan alone.” Donald’s voice was cold.
“I know you’re capable, and I’m also aware that your identity can’t come to light now. Therefore, do whatever you want without holding back. I’ll clean up the mess after you. If need be, I’ll go to Pollerton personally. I believe that they’ll still show me some respect,” Solomon declared.
