Chapter 425 The Laboratory Explodes
Arnaldo and Holton tensed up upon hearing that.
It’d take an army to stop Francesco!
“Find a man named Donald Campbell. I haven’t been able to locate him so far,” Silas replied.
“I’ll be able to find him as long as he’s still alive. Also, I’ll be hosting a banquet at Rivebale Hotel in ten days to discuss the division of Pollerton. Javon, Noah, and Leviathan are all going to attend it. I hope you will show up, Mr. Doyle,” Francesco said.
All the forces within the country had been eyeing Donald’s businesses ever since word got out about his death.
Silas nodded, much to the dismay of Arnaldo and the others as they knew Pollerton was out of their reach.
Neither of them expected Silas to go as far as acquainting himself with Francesco of the Crimson Dust Order.
Campbell Capital soon announced that Jennifer would be marrying into the Campbell clan and that the wedding would take place at the Grand Myer Hotel.
As per Linda’s request, they invited all of their friends and relatives to attend the wedding.
Naturally, the news of Jennifer marrying the Ninth Prince of the Campbell clan caused an uproar all over the country.
The radiation levels at Lord Campbell Mountain Villa’s underground laboratory grew increasingly high at around ten that night.
“Evacuate the laboratory immediately! The artificial sun looks like it’s about to explode!” Lilith shouted.
As Donald’s laboratory was located at the bottom of the ocean, its walls were made out of special glass produced in an S9-Grade laboratory. Had it not been for the insanely strong glass and the cooling effect of the surrounding water, the heat from the artificial sun would’ve melted the entire villa.
While most of the researchers had no idea what was going on, they could clearly feel the radiation levels spiking like crazy. They knew they would have to leave immediately, or it would lead to unimaginable mutations in their bodies.
It wasn’t long before everyone had evacuated Lord Campbell Mountain Villa.
“Lord Campbell’s body is still inside!” Hannah shouted.
“It’s too late now! The tempered glass is starting to melt, and the surveillance cameras have all melted. I’m afraid Lord Campbell’s body is also…” Lilith couldn’t bring herself to continue.
He has been a great hero for over a decade and we won’t even be able to give him a proper burial…
Hannah shuddered at the thought of that.
“This place is going to blow! We need to leave now!” Lilith yelled as she dragged Hannah out of Reclamation Area One.
Boom!
The explosion wasn’t as loud as everyone had expected, but they could clearly see the ripples on the ocean surface. Moreover, they saw a white light on the surface of the ocean, and the temperature of the water spiked seconds later.
“Look! What is that?” Hannah asked while pointing at two golden beams of light that shone deep beneath the water before disappearing.
“It’s just the afterglow from the artificial sun’s explosion,” Lilith replied. She then let out a sigh as she continued, “So, what do we do now? Announce the death of Lord Campbell?”
Hannah was just as lost as she was.
“We’ll keep it confidential for the time being. It’s a shame that a great hero like Lord Campbell has died at the hands of a woman,” Ryan said while making his way over.
Everyone else fell silent with gloomy looks on their faces.
“Horizon Group will soon return to place Lord Campbell Mountain Villa on lockdown. We must keep the research for controlled fusion technology going no matter what!” Ryan continued.
Lilith nodded even though she was still feeling depressed.
At around three in the morning, a man dressed in shabby clothes slowly climbed out of the water far away from the reclamation area.
He dragged himself onto the reef and stared blankly at the night sky above, seemingly lost in deep thought.
