Chapter 35
With the Parasite's impending return to Pollerton, the Wilson family in Tayhaven entering the city to devour the huge slice of the pharmaceutical industry pie, and Lilith completing some military research projects, the whole of Pollerton grew increasingly unsettled.
Quintus gaped at the shattered breastplate, his emotions a chaotic mess as utter shock inundated him.
That breastplate wasn't to be underestimated, for it could withstand strikes from heavy machinery and sniper rifles amounting to a ton of force.
Right then, however, Donald shattered it in a single blow.
If he weren't wearing the breastplate earlier, he had no doubt that his entire chest would have been sunken in by Donald's punch.
Who exactly is he?
“Do you still want to continue?” Stalking over, Donald picked up a fragment of metal. He pinched it lightly with two fingers, upon which the fragment cracked once more.
At that sight, Quintus was scared out of his wits.
What kind of strength does he have?
“The Wilson family is indeed something else for you to know about Eight Limbs Kickboxing.” Donald dipped his head and looked at the man.
Quintus was again shocked.
That was indeed Eight Limbs Kickboxing, but kickboxing was all-encompassing and had many different genres. Therefore, someone who could discern that it was Eight Limbs Kickboxing at a single glance was all the more impressive. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
What kind of background does he have precisely?
“Who exactly are you?” Quintus asked with a cough.
Donald merely threw him a look without bothering to answer him.
Hah! He wants to know my identity when he's just an insignificant figure?
Subsequently, he turned his gaze to Jennifer.
Jennifer wore a complicated expression on her face. After contemplating for a moment, she went over to Donald.
“Donald, I've got money and can reduce your burden now. Can we return to how we were in the past? We no longer need to fight because of a few million and have pointless arguments.”
She grew increasingly emotional as she spoke. Finally, she took his hand and gazed at him tearfully.
Donald's heart softened, but he then heaved a sigh. “No, that's no longer possible.”
Yeah, things can never return to the past. Does she think it's so easy to take the Wilson family's money? The Parasite is going to return to Pollerton, and it's a force that even Chiliad Avion is afraid of They can't even interfere directly and are forced to send me out to eliminate him instead. Once she has ties with me, she'll definitely hold me back.
His only thought then was to decimate the Parasite first before he would reconsider that matter.
Jennifer's face immediately drained of all color. She backed away several steps and gaped at him.
“Do your best and dominate the market here in Pollerton,” Donald urged gently.
Jennifer said nothing at all, merely staring fixedly at him.
“Don't have anything to do with him anymore, Jennifer. Nigel will be displeased. If that happens, you'll lose everything,” Quintus reminded.
Then, he shifted his gaze to Donald. “Although I don't know who you are, and you're exceedingly skilled at fighting, it's best that you keep your distance from Jennifer. Once Nigel flies off his handle, even Charles Langford can't protect you.”
Recalling Nigel's ruthless methods, sheer terror flooded him as well.
“Go back and tell him to bring it on if he wants to declare war on me,” Donald
sneered.
After saying that, he spun on his heels and left.
Jennifer was downright disappointed as she watched him leave.
“Do sever all ties with him. Uncle Theo from the Wilson family is coming soon. This time, it's all thanks to him that the Wilson family in Pollerton is in the running,” Quintus warned.
In response, Jennifer nodded.
This is a golden opportunity, so I've got to seize it!
“Wait for me, Donald. I'll prove to you that I'm not any inferior compared to Hannah. I want to be an influential person in Pollerton! At that time, I'll be back to seek you out!” Determination imbued her.
After exiting the restaurant, Hannah looked at Donald apologetically. “I'm sorry to have ruined your mood today.”
Donald shook his head, indicating that everything was fine.
Then, he lifted his eyes to the sky, his gaze threaded with desolation.
Seeing that, Hannah felt her heart clenching slightly.
He's someone with a story. His eyes overflow with melancholy and untold stories, so he must have a past unknown to others.
In a soft voice, she inquired, “Why did you choose Jennifer back then? Even princesses would take a fancy to someone like you.”
“She... is the kind of person who provides comfort soundlessly. In the past few years we've been acquainted, she could always touch me inadvertently. Besides, she really resembles someone,” Donald answered.
“Who?” A frown marred Hannah's countenance.
Donald's voice turned exceedingly tender. “My mother. I don't mean her looks but her temperament. She's just as gentle and kind and gives people a sense of quiet comfort.”
Hannah could vaguely draw her guess and didn't pursue it further.
“Your grandfather is stable now and should be waking up these few days. However, he’s advanced in years and had undergone surgery, so his health certainly isn't as great anymore,” Hannah remarked.
“I know. Still, thank you very much.” Donald looked at her gratefully.
Swiping at the hair sticking to her ivory cheeks, Hannah flashed him a smile and shook her head in response.
“I've already transferred the ten million to your account.” Donald subconsciously toyed with the beaded bracelet on his wrist before he froze for a moment. Then, he hid them under his sleeve.
“By the way, are you acquainted with Lilith Snowden?” Donald queried.
Hannah nodded in affirmation. “Yes. She's a genius in military science. We grew up in the same compound, but her fake identity is somewhat similar to that of Lana's, both using business as a cover. That said, she's coming to Pollerton this time to complete a military research project.”
As she spoke of Lilith, admiration shone in her eyes.
