Chapter 24
“Arrange for me to meet with the messenger,” said Donald.
“All right. He''ll be waiting for you at Highne Curve,” replied Bradley.
Donald ended the call after confirming the meeting. He then started his car, revved up the engine,
and disappeared.
A little over ten minutester, he arrived at Highne Curve. It was a famous curved road among
racers for its ny degrees turn. At that moment, there were two modified luxury cars racing each
other.
One was a Lamborghini, while the other was an Audi RS7. Both slowed down when they were
approaching the ny degrees turn, as one might fall off the cliff if they were not careful at the turn.
However, Donald boldly drifted at the ny degrees turn without slowing down.
“Damn!” The drivers from the other two cars eximed in shock, impressed by the mad skills
Donald had.
They even felt that he could surpass Zaden Dunn, the king of car racing.
By the time the two driverspleted the turn, Donald''s Bentley Continental was long gone.
Donald got out of the car when he arrived at the top of a mountain. A car was already waiting a
distance away. In front of it was a young man in a military uniform. The man excitedly bowed upon
seeing Donald.
It turned out that the man was Hannah''s older brother, Ryan Nixon.
He was the youngest major-general in all of Pollerton and an outstanding figure among the younger
generations of the Nixon family.
“Lord Campbell,” Ryan respectfully and enthusiastically greeted. This man is the legendary Lord
Campbell! He fought in the Holy War, where he singlehandedly turned the tables and became
victorious!
“Please rise,” said Donald.
Ryan did as told before announcing with a cautious tone, “Chiliad Avion contacted me
to deploy your mission.”
Donald nodded. Ever since he activated Pris System, he knew his peaceful life was over and
had already prepared himself for the worst.
Ryan brought over a stack of documents and said, “The Parasite has returned to Pollerton. To think
that he had tied like a coward back then, but it turned out he had left some of his men here in
Pollerton. As soon as he''s back, these men will rise again. Lilith Snowden, also known as Professor
Snowden, will be in Lab No. 1 at this crucial time to work on the final stage of her experiment. Thus,
Chiliad Avion would like us to protect Lilith so that she canplete the experiment and eradicate
the Parasite and all of his men that are hiding in the dark.”
“Okay. I''m guessing Mark is one of the Parasite''s men?” Donald asked as he took the documents
from Ryan.
Ryan was a little taken aback but quickly answered, “Yes. However, Mark has since pledged his
allegiance to the Collins family.”
“We''ll start with him then,” said Donald as he flipped through the documents.
From the pages, Donald learned that Lilith was in her thirties and was about to enter Pollerton soon
to carry out a military scientific research project as the chief engineer. Besides that, Donald also
discovered that the Parasite fled fifteen years ago after suffering from a huge blow. He had since
been hiding outside of the borders. Now that he was back in Pollerton, trouble was bound to
happen.
If the Parasite had remained in Pollerton all this while, Charles and Lana would not have be
who they were today. Instead, Parasite himself would have been the uncrowned king of Pollerton.
“The mission is simple. Protect Ms. Snowden and get rid of Parasite, is that right?” asked Donald.
Ryan bitterly smiled as he replied, “Yes. The Parasite''s identity is rather sensitive. It''s a little difficult
for us to step in.”
Donald nodded. “I get it. Tell Chiliad Avion to leave it to me.”
Subsequently, Ryan saluted and answered, “Yes, Lord Campbell.”
With all of that sorted, Donald departed in his expensive car. Relief washed over Ryan as he
watched the former drive away. Lord Campbell might look friendly, but he emits an overwhelming
and pressuring aura to people around him. Even though he''s younger than me, there''s a weariness
in his gaze that shows he has experienced many things. When Ryan first stood in front of Donald
earlier, he initially felt honored to get graced by thetter''s presence. However, that feeling soon
turned to pressure as he wanted to do well before thetter.
Meanwhile, Donald had arrived back at the building where Lana was to return her car.
“Can you apany me to see someone?” Lana asked with a smile when she saw him.
Donald looked at the time and thought of the dinner date he had arranged with Hannah in the
morning. He estimated that there were another four to five hours to go since it was only one o’clock
at the time.
“Sure. But I need to leave at five,” replied Donald.
“Okay,” said Lana.
“Ms. Collins, do you need me to join you?” asked Mark.
He was looking down, yet a flicker of bloodlust shed in his eyes as he side-eyed Donald.
Lana shook her head. “I''ll be fine with Donald.”
“You''re a high-profile figure. Plus, things in Pollerton have been in a state of disordertely, so it''s
best for me to apany you,” Mark insisted.

Lana''s gaze turned cold instantly at his words. “Get lost now!”
Finally, Mark backed down and left. The whole time, Donald was watching with amusement. He
could not help but think that there must be a reason why both Mark and de Alliance, which once
worked for the Parasite, suddenly pledged their allegiance to the Collins family.
“The person we''re meeting today is a world-renowned luxury designer. The ne named Eternal
Love is one of her creations,” said Lana.
Donald had heard about Eternal Love before.
Not only was Eternal Love from a top luxury designer brand, but it was currently selling at a
staggering ten million as there were only two of its kind in the whole world. One was in South Epea,
while the other in the hands of the designer herself.
“Her name is Lilith Snowden,” Lana added.
Donald''s eyes narrowed at the mention of that name.
It struck him that Lilith was the same person he had gotten assigned to protect. Lilith had two
identities; She was moremonly known as a world-renowned luxury designer. However, her true
identity was the chief engineer of Rising Dragon Project.
Meanwhile, Harrison was flipping through his phone when he noticed Jennifer had sent him a thank
you text.
Although clueless as to why she had sent that, he did not bother about it. Instead, he nned to
strike while the iron was hot and tackle Jennifer that day. He was going to get her into bed with him.
He felt that things would be easier once he went all the way. After all, what was done could not be
undone.
He pondered with that thought for a moment before he finally called Kevin.
“Hey, Harrison,” Kevin answered the call excitedly.
Harrison was shocked to hear the former''s voice. Did he make it out alive? Who got him out of
de Alliance''s captivity?
“You made it out?” asked Harrison.
“Yeah. All thanks to you. There''s no saying what I''d have suffered if it wasn''t for that one million you
provided and the firm reminder to that nasty Jerald,” exined Kevin.
Again, Harrison was stunned.
He was confused as he had not given Kevin and Skr a million, much less remind Jerald anything.
After all, Jerald was a nasty guy. Even if Harrison''s father, Garrett, had stepped in, there was still no
guarantee that Jerald would give in.
“What did Jerald say?” asked Harrison with a frown.
“He said he would have let me go if I had just told him that I was Mr. Queen''s acquaintance. I''ve got
to say. You''re quite incredible, Harrison,” Kevin recounted andughed.
On the other hand, Harrison''s brows furrowed deeper. At that moment, he could sense that
something was amiss, yet he could not pinpoint what exactly. He quickly dismissed those thoughts
and asked, “When are you returning the money you owe me?”
Kevin paused for a moment on the other end of the call. Then, he stuttered, “W-Well, you see...”
“It''s alright if you don''t pay. However, you haven''t exactly shown any gratitude, despite me buying
you all those luxury goods,” Harrison stated as he narrowed his eyes.
Kevin was not as naive as Jennifer. Hence, he immediately understood what Harrison was implying
and replied, “Give me a time, and I''ll get it done, Harrison.”
“In an hour.” Harrison was thrilled.
“No problem. Come to my house in 10 minutes. I''ve already prepared the sleeping pills, so it''ll
undoubtedly be the best time of your life.”
