FreeNovelChapter 402 Pay The Price “That’s right. It had nothing to do with us. But now, Jennard Construction is
preparing to build a new three-lane highway there. Hence, we should find a way to claim
compensation, don’t you think?” said Albert. “But everyone is talking about how Tristan Lane has fallen
for Jennifer. What happens if we offend him?” Andrew asked. He could not help worrying about that.
Albert merely gave a mirthless chuckle. “Jennifer and the others are just deluding themselves with
wishful thinking.
If it’s true that Tristan likes Jennifer, why wouldn’t he have stepped forward by now? He could’ve quietly
made a comment or something, at least.” Andrew mulled over the matter before speaking again.
“Jennifer is in the midst of constructing Lord Campbell Avenue. What’ll we do if we incur Lord
Campbell’s wrath?” “That won’t happen. This road isn’t part of Lord Campbell Avenue. Lord Campbell
won’t take any notice of it,” Albert answered. Andrew perked up when he heard that. Rubbing his hands
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgleefully, he asked, “In that case, how much should we ask for?” After pondering for a while, Albert
said, “At least ten million, I should think. If she refuses, we’ll just have to send a funeral wreath to her
office.” “Okay! I’ll gather the others at once.” Andrew stood up, then glanced at Mason. “What will you
do?” “I… I think I’ll just stay here,” Mason answered weakly. He did not have the courage to step
outside.
Soon, Mason saw everyone in East City Machine Factory leaving, making a mad dash out of the place.
A clan’s power is fearsome indeed. The members are united to attain their goals, using their family’s
name to gather and force a construction project to proceed or halt. It wasn’t that Neil didn’t consider
remediation, but it was just that the results were never too significant. Subsequently, as long as the
clans didn’t go overboard, he didn’t bother to interfere. In any case, there are always corporations
willing to settle for money. Hence, the clans grew increasingly arrogant. Suddenly feeling bored, Mason
got to his feet. However, he had only just stood up when he noticed the deserted workshop grow dim.
He raised his head and scanned his surroundings. Then, his face turned deathly pale instantaneously.
Figures clad in azure armor, whose faces Mason could not make out, had appeared around him. They
wielded olden swords and looked as though they were an army of soldiers from ancient times.
Emblazoned across each of their breastplates was the Azure Wyvern symbol. It’s Horizon Group’s
Azure Wyvern Guards! Kingsley stepped forward and gazed at Mason coldly.
“Have you enjoyed yourself these past few days?” An overwhelming sense of impending doom
weighed upon Mason. The stories are true. Lord Campbell has really fallen for Ysabel! “Please spare
me, Wyvern King! Please spare my life! I made a mistake!” Mason fell to his knees and kept bowing as
he pleaded for mercy. Their footsteps thundered as they began moving in perfect synchronicity. On a
rough estimate, there were probably more than three hundred of them. Looking up, Mason saw the
Azure Wyvern Guard parting to both sides, making space for a path over fifty meters long. At the end of
the path, a handsome man dressed in a black suit started walking forward slowly. Mason’s eyes
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwidened in shock. That was because the person was none other than Donald! Dumbstruck, he
swallowed hard as a terrifying thought flashed across his mind. Finally, Donald walked right up to him
and gazed down at him condescendingly. “Mason Stern, you’ve got some nerve.”
The Azure Wyvern Guard, including Kingsley, stared at Donald with an idolizing look in their eyes.
“Spare me! My father is already in jail, and I don’t want to die!” Mason sobbed bitterly as he looked at
Donald. Although he dared not say anything about Donald’s identity, he had already figured out that
Donald was Lord Campbell. Only Lord Campbell would possess such power. It’d also explain what
happened to Julian.
It was all because he crossed Lord Campbell! Donald crouched down and looked straight at Mason.
“When one makes a mistake, one has to pay the price. Do you understand?” He hired someone to kill
Ysabel. It’s fortunate that Ysabel met me, and it’s a good thing I was powerful enough. Otherwise,
she’d be dead by now. Before Donald walked into the room, he had already decided he would terrorize
the clans and clear all obstacles in Jennifer’s path.
