Chapter 410 Taking On The Clans
“If only Lord Campbell liked you, Jenny. Too bad his heart belongs to that brat Ysabel,” a jealous Linda lamented.
Jennifer, on the other hand, regarded the situation suspiciously.
All of this seems related to Donald.
Farther away, Donald stared intently at Albert and said, “You struck Jennifer’s head with a shoe.”
Albert immediately paled.
Donald’s demeanor appeared to cool several degrees as he continued, “How could you humiliate someone so precious to me?”
“Mercy! Have mercy! I was wrong! So wrong!” Albert shouted before dissolving into tears.
“Slap him,” Donald instructed.
Kingsley stepped forward and roughly tugged onAlbert’s hair to pull the man’s head back. Then, he gave Albert a hard slap.
Crack!
Albert’s head nearly turned a full round before the man collapsed limply to the floor.
Zachary watched on tearfully but dared not say a word.
Meanwhile, Donald announced, “Send everyone from the Winston family here to the warzone. They will repair the fort there for a year.”
The men from the Winston family knelt and bowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.
“Hand over all your phones,” said Kingsley.
They obediently threw their phones on the ground.
“Spread the word that I wish to reorganize the clans’ powers. If the Denzel family refuses, they can taste my steel,” declared Donald.
The Denzel family was the most powerful clan in Pollerton. They already knew something was wrong when they found out Donald had summoned a hundred thousand men to Reclamation Area One.
The head of the Denzel family was Luciano Denzel. When he first heard of Ethan’s involvement, he had planned on leading thousands of men to capture Ethan.
Luciano’s phone suddenly rang. When he answered it, he heard a cold voice through the receiver. “Luciano, it’s me, Kingsley Felton.”
Luciano froze in surprise before replying, “At your service, General Felton.”
“Dissolve your family’s influence, or Lord Campbell will do it for you!” Kingsley hung up right after issuing that warning.
Luciano’s back was covered in a sheen of sweat. He felt as though he had just avoided a catastrophe.
An hour later, the Winston family was sent off to the warzone to start reparation works on the fort. They did not even have time to say goodbye to their relatives.
Though it was a harsh punishment, Donald was not wholly unreasonable.
He promised to release them after a year’s service and also pay their families monthly for their work.
Three hours later, the entire Pollerton learned about what had happened at Reclamation Area One.
Everyone learned of the Winston family’s failed attempt to stop the construction of Lord Campbell Avenue. They also knew Lord Campbell had sent a hundred thousand soldiers to subdue the Winstons, whose little stunt had infuriated him, causing him to begin suppressing the various clans in Pollerton.
He had also released an announcement, saying, “The clans in Pollerton have gone too far. We will not hesitate to crack down on anyone who misuses their clan’s influence to cause trouble!”
Naturally, he struck terror in the hearts of every Pollerton resident.
The Winston family was the second most powerful clan in Pollerton, yet they were forced to become hard laborers at the borders.
Meanwhile, Kevin began boasting about his encounter with Lord Campbell.
To everyone he met, he said, “Did you know that I saw Lord Campbell in the flesh? The Winston family had the audacity to stop my sister’s project, but Lord Campbell used his soldiers to scare them off. He even brought a destroyer!”
“How does Lord Campbell look like?” his friends asked curiously.
Kevin answered, “Lord Campbell is very handsome and two meters tall. He holds a purple and gold club in one hand. He’s pretty friendly too, even greeting me.”
Later that day, at six in the evening, Jennifer finally met Donald.
“What did you stay behind to do?” Jennifer asked him suspiciously.
Donald shot her a small smile and said, “I had to explain everything that happened clearly, including how the conflict began in the first place.”
Jennifer’s disbelief was palpable, and she said, “Why do I have the feeling that you know Wyvern King personally?”
