Chapter 409 Lord Campbell
Three airplanes sped toward the scene. They were fifth-generation fighter jets equipped with assault weaponry.
The Winston family was frozen in fear.
Adrenaline coursed through Ethan’s veins as he stared at the sight. He almost wanted to give himself a good smack on the face to make sure he was not dreaming.
Linda, Kevin, and Jennifer were equally shocked.
Jennifer could not help but look to Donald as she whispered, “What’s going on?”
Instead of answering her question, Donald pointed into the distance and muttered, “There’s more.”
At first, they could only see the vast ocean before them.
Soon enough, a massive contraption sped in their direction.
It was a destroyer!
Jacob stepped forward and announced, “The Pollerton Destroyer Army has assembled, General Felton. Only one member is absent from our a-hundred-thousand-strong army. Awaiting your orders, General!”
Kingsley acknowledged his report before shooting Zachary an intimidating stare.
Zachary immediately fell to his knees and pleaded for mercy, “Please, Wyvern King, we have done nothing wrong!”
“He’s right! We only came to have a stroll!”
“We haven’t done anything at all!”
Members of the Winston family chimed in, desperately pleading for their innocence.
Kingsley’s icy glare remained as he uttered, “Ms. Wilson organized the construction of a three-lane highway as groundwork for Lord Campbell Avenue, but you stopped her and delayed the construction progress!”
Albert’s heart skipped a beat. The thing he feared the most had still happened.
Meanwhile, Kingsley pointed at Linda and the others and ordered, “Those of you who are not involved, leave.”
Linda pulled Kevin and Jennifer along with her as she made her escape.
Jennifer tried to pull Donald along with her, but he said, “You go ahead. I need to explain the situation clearly.”
After some thought, Jennifer replied, “All right. I’ll wait for you outside.”
A military vehicle arrived to take Jennifer and the others to a place five kilometers away.
“Let’s begin,” Donald declared.
Zachary looked at him. His eyes narrowed when he saw Kingsley and Jacob carrying a chair over and placing it behind Donald.
The two men also said respectfully, “Please have a seat, Lord Campbell.”
Lord Campbell?
Zachary hastily knelt on the ground.
How could I have offended Lord Campbell?
However, Albert was the most alarmed of them all.
The reason was simple.
Though Jennifer was Donald’s ex-wife, everyone knew that Donald still loved her deeply.
Albert had humiliated Jennifer earlier without knowing Donald’s true power.
Donald sat down and said slowly, “Your family is foolishly brazen.”
From where he knelt on the ground, Zachary wailed, “Please have mercy on us, Lord Campbell!”
The rest of the Winston family visibly quivered in fear.
If Donald unleashed his full rage, he could send them to their graves.
Three years ago, he had established his fearsome reputation after killing almost a hundred thousand private armed forces in the Quadfield War.
Donald ignored Zachary and turned his attention to Andrew. “You shot Ysabel,” he said.
Andrew’s heart lurched in response.
He never could have imagined that Lord Campbell and Donald were one and the same. It was an earth-shattering secret.
Dread filled his soul as he recalled how he had shot Ysabel in front of Donald.
“I was wrong! Albert told me to do so! Please forgive me, Lord Campbell!” Andrew fell to his knees and sobbed.
Donald stared at the family silently.
Five kilometers away, Jennifer stared in the direction of Reclamation Area One, still in shock over Donald’s actions.
A hundred thousand soldiers filled every inch of the space.
Fighter jets circled overhead while the destroyer landed nearby.
Kevin stared at the scene and exclaimed, “It’s no wonder Lord Campbell is the finest young man of our era!”
Skylar’s gaze was filled with admiration. If I ever marry someone, I should marry someone like Lord Campbell! He’s truly a hero of our times!
