Chapter 145 The Campbell Clan
Instantly, Marcus’ words caused an uproar in the crowd.
Even Jennifer stood up in disbelief.
Why didn’t I know that Donald is that rich? Where did he get the money? Why couldn’t he get six hundred thousand back then if he’s that rich?
Jennifer was confused as all sorts of thoughts ran across her mind.
Meanwhile, the crowd was discussing Donald. “Which family is he from?”
“He’s pulling out three hundred million without hesitation.”
“He’s mega rich.”
While the crowd was puzzled at how rich Donald was, Sixten chuckled and said, “I guess I should introduce him to everyone.”
The crowd went silent at the sound of that.
“More than ten years ago, the Campbell clan had a reformation.”
As soon as he said that, he captured everyone’s attention.
After all, the Campbell family was a mysterious and powerful presence. It was also the most prestigious family they looked up to.
“Back then, the Campbell family was known as the Campbells’ Sanctum Branch before they merged into the Campbell clan. At the time, there were two branches of the Sanctum Branch. One was mine, and the other was Raymond’s, who happens to be Donald’s grandfather. Like Donald, he didn’t know his place and offended a big shot from the Campbell clan at a dinner party. The person was so furious that he took action and took everything away from Raymond. Do any of you know what Raymond was working on then?”
The crowd shook their head in response.
Sixten then continued, “It’s the Dragon Fide Villa!”
The crowd gasped at that revelation while Donald looked at Sixten calmly.
It turned out that the Dragon Fide Villa was a famous project. Not only was it the biggest project in the country at the time, but the amount invested was more than a hundred billion. Upon completion, the project would gather tycoons from all over the country. In addition to that, it would also be an iconic landmark. At the same time, Raymond would also be accepted into the Campbell clan.
“Unfortunately, the Dragon Fide Villa never made it. It was put to a stop by the big shot from the Campbell clan, who was also a direct descendant of the clan. Thus, it became the biggest unfinished building in the country. No one else dared to continue with the project since then. As for Raymond, he escaped to Pollerton after such a huge setback and went into hiding. This young man in front of us is the remnant of that incident. This card is not his. It belongs to the Campbell clan. Besides that, Raymond also became the biggest laughing stock. He was even known as the abandoned one in the clan.” Sixten pointed at Donald as he said that.
At the sound of that, the crowd looked over at Donald with pity.
Similarly, Jennifer’s mind went blank as she had no idea about that side of Donald.
Sixten went on, “You’re Donald, right? It’s been more than ten years since that incident. No one knows if that big shot had forgotten about what happened. Aren’t you scared for your life for bringing out this card and even activating it for asset verification?”
“No,” Donald replied without hesitation.
“Take my advice, Donald. You better not offend Mr. Ono. Didn’t you spend three hundred million to get Eternal Love and A Midsummer Night’s Dream? Perhaps you should give them to Mr. Ono as a present, and he’ll forgive you for your insolence,” said Jim.
Akio’s eyes lit up at his words, and he could not help but raise his thumb at Jim.
He was very happy with Jim’s suggestion.
“That’s right. Mr. Ono is a very powerful person. It’ll only do you good to be on his good side,” Yvette chimed in.
Irene also nodded in agreement. “You’re just an outcast. You should be thinking about how you can build a good relationship with Mr. Ono.”
Donald’s daze darkened at the mention of the word “outcast”.
“What if I say no?” He looked up at Yvette.
Jim slammed the table with his hand at his words. “Why are you being so arrogant? You’re nothing but an outcast. Stop the nonsense, or I’ll kill your entire family!”
“This is the second time,” Donald said suddenly.
The crowd was confused by his words.
It turned out that Donald was saying that it was the second time Jim had mentioned killing his entire family.
Donald looked up suddenly and stared at Jim. While seated, he waved his right hand and the silver fork in his hand turned into a silver flash of lightning. Accompanied by a short blast, it went straight at Jim.
