Chapter 295 I Am Doomed
Timothy calmed himself down. He sneered and said, “What do you plan to do if I don’t pay you today? Are you going to kill me?”
Donald nodded. “Sure.”
With that said, Donald took out his badge and tossed it at Timothy casually.
Timothy instinctively caught the badge. He was about to throw it onto the ground.
After taking a swift glance, he stood rooted to the ground as if he had been electrocuted.
What was that he saw?
Timothy’s hands began to tremble as sweat oozed from his forehead and rolled down his cheeks.
It was the beginning of winter, but he was so afraid that cold sweat started trickling down his body.
The badge wasn’t big. It was just the size of a gooseberry. It was made from gold, and had a dragon image carved on it. A number three had been tagged on the badge.
“D-Dragon…” Timothy choked on his words. He couldn’t even speak properly.
Every member of the Ten Prestigious Families recognized the Dragon badge.
A hundred years ago, after creating the Dragon badge, all the members of the Ten Prestigious Families underwent urgent training, where the appearance, functions, and basic knowledge of the Dragon badge were introduced. From then on, it became part of the prestigious families’ annual training. Thus, everyone in those families recognized the item. The training served to remind all the descendants of the prestigious families not to offend the holder of the Dragon badge. If anyone confronted the badge owner, they would have to make themselves scarce!
The Dragon badge was presented to those who had successfully defended the country. The badge owner could easily eliminate a prestigious family if they so wished.
Five Dragon badges were made a hundred years ago. Donald had the third one!
Nobody knew what Timothy was thinking at the moment. They could only see that his expression kept on changing.
“Oh no! I’m doomed! It is the third Dragon badge! I can’t believe it has been distributed. I’ve offended the owner of the badge!” Sweat rolled down Timothy’s back. His inner garments had become soaked.
“Who is Donald Campbell? What has he contributed to the country? I can’t believe he’s managed to get the third Dragon badge! It’s over! If the members of the Freedman clan know about this, they’ll definitely kick me out! I can’t let anyone know about this, not even my own son!”
Timothy was so nervous that he felt the urge to pee.
Initially, he thought it was a fake badge, but when he touched the left corner of the item and recognized Donald’s name carved on it, Timothy knew it was real. Moreover, nobody would dare forge a Dragon badge.
Timothy felt a shiver down his spine. He could also feel something wet in his pants.
He lifted his head and gulped with difficulty. When he met Donald’s eyes, which were void of emotion, Donald was looking at him as if he was a dead man.
Thump!
Timothy fell to his knees as he pleaded, “Mr. Campbell, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault!”
He held the Dragon badge in his hands.
The crowd couldn’t see the Dragon badge. They didn’t even know what Timothy was holding.
However, when they saw Timothy go down on his knees, everyone, including Ivan, was shocked.
Ethan and Jerome, on the other hand, didn’t know how to react to the situation.
Emotions surged within Ethan as fear flashed across his eyes.
Isn’t that Timothy from the Freedman clan? His status is not as high as Tyrone, the Ninth Prince, but he ranks much higher than Nigel. Why is Timothy on his knees? Who am I? Where am I? Where should I go?
Ethan, feeling lost, began questioning himself.
What is going on?
Georgia and her family stood still in shock and silence.
This wasn’t the result they wanted. In fact, it was very different from what they had initially expected.
Donald took the Dragon badge from Timothy. Staring at Timothy, who was on his knees in front of him, Donald said slowly, “You won’t dare to tell the others, right?”
Upon hearing that, Timothy’s face lit up in an instant.
