Chapter 148 Phoenix
Donald did not explain what he did. Instead, he headed out. “All right then. I’m done here. I’ll get going.”
Rupert, Akio, and the others were deep in their thoughts as they watched him go.
Meanwhile, no one paid any attention to Jim’s body which was still lying on the ground.
Suddenly, Sixten broke the silence and said, “Contact everyone and make this incident known. He’ll be dead sooner or later.”
At that point, Donald had walked out of Supreme Nona Hotel with a long shadow behind him under the neon lights.
In his fitted suit, he looked around for a moment and noticed many people hiding in the dark. They were full of excitement and admiration when they saw him.
He could even raze Supreme Nona Hotel to the ground with a wave of his hand.
However, there was no point in doing that.
Soon, he arrived at Pollerton General Hospital and saw Raymond.
Hannah was checking on him and even brought mushroom soup. She did not bother with Donald at all.
“Thanks,” Donald said softly.
Hannah shook her head and replied, “It’s my job.”
Hannah was a stunning woman but aloof. The way she treated the people around her was as though they had owed her a huge amount of money.
“You guys should talk. I’ll get going. I’ll like to ask for your help in a few days,” she said.
“Sure.” Donald nodded.
When he closed the door after Hannah had left, he heard Raymond sigh. “Did you go and give a firm reminder to Sixten?”
“I did. I even treated him to cake and pineapple,” answered Donald.
Raymond smiled bitterly at his words. “Tyson is the man behind him. He’s the direct descendant of the Campbell clan.”
“I’m not super worried. I’m not afraid of the Campbell clan once I gather all my powers,” said Donald.
“But can you gather those powers here? The Campbell clan might not stand against you outside of the borders. However, inside, you might not have a chance against them. Their roots are here. They have been here for five hundred years, and they have worked hard, generations after generations. How long have you been here? Listen to me. You should stay away from them for now,” said Raymond as he looked into Donald’s eyes.
Donald fell silent for a moment. Then, he said, “I will find out what happened to my parents, and I’ll avenge that slap you took in public.”
Raymond sighed again without another word.
Donald went ahead and changed the subject. “Who is coming for your birthday?”
“Your aunt, Uncle Felix, and Granduncle Gideon. Just the few that I dragged down with me back then.”
“Are they here to shame you again?” Donald scoffed.
It turned out that the same thing always happened on Raymond’s birthday. First, the guests would come and show off how well they were doing. Then, they would talk about how they would be much better off if Raymond did not insist on the Dragon Fide Villa project. They would even talk about how they had flourished since they removed themselves from Raymond’s leadership and that they had hopes of returning to the Campbell clan.
In the past, Donald was unbothered and would suppress his emotions in those situations.
However, that would not be necessary anymore this year.
“Promise me that you won’t kill anyone that day,” Raymond said sternly.
After all, those were Donald’s family.
“Okay, I promise you,” said Donald.
Raymond then asked, “How are things between you and Jennifer?”
Donald extended his hand in front of him and said, “Look. She bit me.”
Raymond chuckled. “Some bumps and scratches are expected.”
Donald shook his head. “I never understand why you insist on the two of us being together.”
“She’s the only one who could help you rise again. She’s the phoenix, understand? She’s the one who’ll be the key to your success.”
“Here we go again. How is it possible that such a thing even exists? No wonder they call you a shaman.”
“They call me Demigod Campbell.”
Meanwhile, the news of Donald killing Jim was sealed off among the upper class. Only the elites of Pollerton were aware of the incident.
Thus, Donald seemed to be unaffected in the meantime.
