“Mr. Campbell, this is truly a misunderstanding. Please, don't get so worked up. We can talk this out calmly.” Fridolin was genuinely terrified when he saw Donald killing people as casually as breathing.
He was trembling uncontrollably.
The reason he could act so arrogantly toward Amelia before was because he believed in his own influence in Feston. He thought that with just a single word from him, he could prevent Amelia from leaving Feston.
Additionally, he believed if he uttered another word, Amelia's life would be over.
Fridolin's confidence stemmed from his ability to hold the fate of others in his hands.
However, when it came to Donald, everything was turned upside down.
The underworld connections that Fridolin relied on were simply no match for Donald.
Donald needed only to lift a finger to wipe Fridolin off the face of the planet.
An unprecedented sense of insecurity emerged within Fridolin.
Fridolin's reverence for Donald deepened even more, especially after witnessing the insufferably arrogant Black Tiger die so abruptly.
Donald looked at Fridolin and said calmly, “Initially, I just wanted to teach you a lesson, not intending to take your life directly. Even though I didn't want your life, you were willing to spend money to try to kill me. Since you're so adept at this, I presume it's not your first time, right?”
Fridolin noticed that there seemed to be something off about the way Donald was speaking.
He fell to his knees with a thud, trembling as he spoke to Donald. “Mr. Campbell, I was ignorant and offended you. Please, show me mercy. I was confused for a moment, which was why I did such a thing. It's my first time dealing with people like Black Tiger.”
What Fridolin said was indeed true. In the past, he would hand over all matters to Gilbert. Dealing with Black Tiger was really something recent.
“Billy, is everything he said true?”
Billy? Who's Billy? Just as Fridolin was confused, Billy emerged from the shadows.
Billy handed a document to Donald respectfully. “In the past decade, Fridolin, using his power, has killed eight people and crippled fifteen. This is a list of the victims.”
The way Billy made his entrance was enough to leave Fridolin astounded.
