NovelOnlineAll the expensive ornamental fish have been slaughtered…
“Everyone, you can have the fish here. My treat,” stated Donald.
However, Adrian spoke up. “Hey, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you scram by now?”
Confused, Donald rebuked, “I haven’t even tasted any of the fish. Why should I leave?”
“Get lost! You’re not welcome here! Don’t expect me to think highly of you after putting on an act
just now. You’re still unworthy of sitting here!” Adrian remarked with a frown.
Mason also called out, “That’s right! Get the heck out of here! Who do you think you are, anyway?”
“What should I do to be considered worthy, then?” Donald’s expression grew cold once again.
Adrian said sarcastically and in annoyance, “I call the shots in the Stern family! As the manager of
Yund Group in charge of more than a dozen of toll stations, not only in Pollerton, but I have
authority in Xendale and Tayhaven as well. What gives you, an immature snot-nosed brat, the right
to speak to me?”
Suddenly, Donald snickered. “In that case, does that mean you have a say in Pollerton’s traffic
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtregulations?”
“That’s right! I’ll let whoever I want in, and I’ll keep whoever I want out from Pollerton!” Adrian
spoke confidently.
Truth be told, Adrian was truly capable of doing so.
Lowering his head, Donald fiddled his arm as he approached Adrian, uttering in a low voice,
“Hmm. So when Bryan set up roadblocks all around Pollerton that time, refusing to let foreign
machinery and equipment into the city, that was also your doing?”
Since this was not a secret anymore, Adrian replied without hesitation, “Yes!”
As he spoke, Adrian looked at Donald, noticing the latter’s cold, unrelenting eyes.
“Very well, that’s the exact reason I’m here for!” As Donald gazed at Adrian, his eyes were blazing
with wrath—sharp and piercing.
Adrian was startled, not knowing what Donald meant. Staring at the latter with hostility and malice,
he taunted, “Why? Are you going to finish me off? You’re not worthy of doing that yet! Even Mr.
Yund isn’t worthy of doing so either! Unless it’s Mr. Neil Yund we’re talking about!”
With that, he looked at Donald haughtily and sneered, “You better scram! Otherwise, I’ll break both
your legs!”
Despite his words, Donald pulled out a chair and sat down, staring at Adrian indifferently. “So you
think it’s possible to set up roadblocks in Pollerton by exercising your authority and relying on your
status as the manager of Yund Group?”
“Of course. What are you going to do about it?” Adrian felt bold and confident with his answer.
A faint smile appeared on Donald’s cold face. “Very well, then. I forgot to mention that more than a
dozen toll stations will be demolished simultaneously. In other words, you’re going to be out of
work soon.”
As soon as his words fell, Adrian stared at him as if he was looking at an idiot and laughed. “You’re
being ridiculous. More than a dozen toll stations being demolished simultaneously? What
nonsense are you talking about?”
Panicked, Jennifer stood up immediately. “Don’t make a fool of yourself here, Donald! Please just
go back.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was already staring pleadingly at Donald at the end of her sentence.
Anyone with common sense would know it was impossible to demolish over a dozen toll stations,
let alone have them torn down all at once.
As this was one of Yund Group’s main sources of income, the company would never agree to
demolish any of the toll stations.
Moreover, no one would have the audacity to remove any of them.
After all, Yund Group belonged to one of the Ten Prestigious Families.
“When I said to tear them down, he’s going to do what I say,” Donald replied casually.
Upon hearing his remarks, Mason roared, “That’s enough, Donald! You’re just an outcast of the
Campbell clan. What kind of nonsense are you spewing here?”
He then shouted with all his might, “Ysabel is a witch, you’re a loser, while Beatrice is a widow. All
three of you are truly a match made in heaven!”
Before Beatrice or Ysabel could say anything, Donald glared icily at Mason with his sharp and
menacing eyes.
Mason was instantly shocked by Donald’s terrifying glare.
Retracting his gaze, Donald stated, “You’ll receive a phone call in five minutes.”
Adrian laughed in exasperation. “Fine. I’ll wait for it, then. I’d like to see what you can do to
persuade Mr. Yund!”
