Chapter 729 The Mission
“It's not a nine-to-five job, I suppose?” Donald asked.
“Of course not,” Susan answered with a smile. “I heard from Gavin that you're in the employ of Dragon Fide
Corporation?”
“Yes. What about it?”
“Will you be able to get in touch with Jennifer Wilson?”
When Donald heard Susan mention Jennifer, he narrowed his eyes and stopped counting the banknotes. “Of course,
I know Jennifer. She's the CEO of Dragon Fide Corporation.”
“Will you be able to get near her?” Susan then took out a bank card from her handbag and placed it on the table.
“Aldrich has issued a mission—anyone who can kill Jennifer will be rewarded with five million. There's five hundred
thousand in this bank card. Consider this as my deposit to you. I'll pay you the remaining four million and five
hundred thousand if you succeed in killing Jennifer.”
Initially, Donald had only intended to investigate Aldrich's arms smuggling in Pollerton, but to his surprise, he also

Donald took up the bank card and asked another question, “How many people have accepted this mission?”
Susan threw him a puzzled glance and asked, “What has that got to do with you?”
“I should at least find out how many people I am competing against, shouldn't I? Jennifer's bodyguards are no
ordinary individuals. Even if I'm able to get close to her, it's not guaranteed that I'll succeed,” he explained.
Susan contemplated for a while before she replied, “Based on what I know, three people have accepted the
mission. If you're not confident in the mission, you can wait for the others to make their move and find an opening
amidst the chaos to kill her.”
She then ordered her subordinates to get rid of Ruth's and Zordan's bodies.
After briefing Donald on the areas he needed to take note of as her newly hired subordinate, Susan instructed
Gavin to escort Donald out of the factory.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, Gavin gave Donald a thumbs-up and praised, “You're amazing, Mr.
Campbell. I've not seen Susan treat anyone this well in a long time. Do you know how difficult it was for me to
become her subordinate?”
Susan did not declare Donald's actual rank as her subordinate, but based on the gift and mission given by her,
Gavin knew the other's man position would be superior to his.
At that, he was relieved that he had established a decent relationship with Donald earlier, as he did not make things
difficult for the latter.
If not for their good relationship, Donald might have sought revenge against him and caused him immense
suffering.
After leaving the factory, Donald went straight to Dragon Fide Corporation.
Amelia, who had been awaiting his arrival at the entrance, went forth to receive him when she saw him from a
distance.
Clad in a set of white office attire, she greeted, “Mr. Campbell.”
Combined with the light makeup she had put on that day, she seemed different from usual.
Amelia had always been a woman with good looks and was merely deprived of an opportunity.
“Are you ready?” Donald gave her an indifferent glance.
“Yes, Mr. Campbell. I'm ready,” she replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Let's go, then.”
After arriving on the floor where the conference rooms were located, Donald took her straight to the highest-level
conference room dedicated to the board of directors.
That conference room was typically reserved for meetings that discussed important decisions regarding the
company's internal affairs. The fact that an employee like Amelia was allowed entry to that place was considered a
privilege for her.
Upon entering the conference room, Amelia saw Jennifer, who was seated at the furthest end of the table.
The latter was accompanied by the seventeen newly appointed directors of Dragon Fide Corporation. Among them
was Winslow.
“Mr. Campbell, who is she?” one of the directors asked.
The directors, who were in the middle of discussing the company's next year's development plan, were caught off
guard when Donald entered the room uninvited with a stranger in tow.
Sven Webber, one of the directors, looked at Donald with a puzzled expression, but his gaze betrayed his
displeasure.
Everyone in the conference room knew Donald was the son the Campbell family had disowned.
