Chapter 879 What Siegfried Wilkins Thinks
After leaving the hospital, Donald hailed a taxi and returned to the mansion.
To him, dealing with Shelba and the others had been nothing more than a brief interlude, but to the Wilkinses, it was a massive disgrace to their family.
Osmond Wilkins, the head of the Wilkins family, was silent and grim as he sat on an armchair and looked at the sheet-covered corpses in the hospital.
Having lifted the sheets to identify Shelba's and Sylar's bodies, Siegfried Wilkins walked up to Osmond.
“Grandpa, the bodies are confirmed to be Syl's and Shel's.”
Osmond shut his eyes in anguish and gritted his teeth. “Who the h*ll is it? Who dares to kill my family members so blatantly in Pollerton? Launch an immediate investigation into this! I want the murderer to pay the price!”
“We already have, Grandpa. We retrieved the hospital's surveillance footage earlier and found the culprit,” Siegfried replied before pulling up the images on a tablet to show the elderly man. “He's Donald Campbell, vice president of Dragon Fide Corporation and an abandoned son of the Campbell clan. Several other prominent families had invited us before to take down Dragon Fide Corporation's project, but we rejected them.”
“Donald Campbell!” Osmond thundered. “Where is he now? Get our Wilkins Army to haul him back!”
“Grandpa, after watching the surveillance footage, I don't think Donald Campbell is as useless as the rumors say. He seems more like a high-level Stella Warrior, which would also explain why Syl and Shel fell victim to him,” Siegfried reasoned. “Therefore, I doubt the Wilkins Army will be effective against him.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“If the Wilkins Army isn't enough, deploy Blood Blade! I don't care how much it costs or how many people we need to hire. I want Donald and his family to pay for my granddaughter's death!” Osmond retorted.
He had always loved Shelba, especially since he had the privilege of watching her grow up.
Oh, my poor granddaughter. She had even planned on bringing Archivaldo home for dinner today, yet she died so tragically after that phone call... To h*ll with the consequences! I want Donald Campbell dead!
After seeing Osmond off, Siegfried's assistant, Norbert Cadwell, turned to him. “Mr. Siegfried, are we really deploying Blood Blade to deal with Donald Campbell? Horizon Group has recently stepped up its armed patrols in Pollerton, so I'm worried our plan may backfire if Blood Blade rashly attacks Donald.”
As it turned out, Horizon Group had begun implementing security patrols in various districts to increase their control over Pollerton's prominent families.
That said, their patrols weren't targeted at ordinary citizens but at elite forces like the Wilkins Army.
After all, if Pollerton's high-level Stella Warriors were to go on a killing spree, the ordinary citizens would be the unfortunate ones in dire straits.
Siegfried rubbed his temples as he pondered the question. “Let's shelve that for now. Even without Horizon Group in our way, it's tricky enough to take on Donald when he's the vice president of Dragon Fide Corporation. Many prominent families have invested in the company, and if word gets out that we're attacking Donald, we might land ourselves in hot water.”
Thankfully, Siegfried was a lot more composed and cautious compared to his grandfather,
Argh... So what if our family has a grudge against Donald Campbell? The Ten Prestigious Families, too, hate him to the core, yet no one has been able to lay a finger on him... I'm no reckless fool. I won't take action until I've dug up everything about him!
“All right. Enough about Donald Campbell. Get someone to deal with Syl's and Shel's bodies, and make sure you arrange a grand funeral for them. The Wilkins family has a reputation to uphold.”
“Yes, Mr. Siegfried. I'll make the arrangements right away.”
