Upon watching Billy disappear into the shadows like a ghost, Amelia, who had been standing behind Donald, was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. “Who... Who exactly are you?”
Initially, Amelia thought of Donald merely as a businessman. Perhaps he was a bit cunning and had connections, but his methods were within the bounds of normal business competition.
To Amelia's surprise, Donald went on a killing spree. Not only did he take care of Black Tiger and the latter's minions, but he also directly killed Fridolin and Declan.
Obviously, an ordinary businessman wouldn't be capable of murdering people like slaughtering chickens.
Therefore, at that moment, Amelia's feelings toward Donald were quite complicated.
She felt that Donald was a true warrior and experienced a genuine sense of admiration in her heart for him.
However, she also found Donald terrifying, feeling that the Donald of that moment was from a world different from hers.
“I'm Donald. What, is this your first day knowing me?” With a smile, Donald pulled out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to Amelia. He spoke earnestly. “Do you think I was a bit too ruthless?”
Amelia nodded, believing that Donald's actions were excessively harsh. “You killed people. How can that not be considered ruthless?”
Donald said with a smile, “I'm sure you've heard the saying 'the business world is like a battlefield' before. Many of the world's conflicts, when you get down to it, are all about money. Why did Fridolin order someone to kill us? It's not because we have some deep-seated vendetta with him. No, it's simply because we were blocking his path to wealth. Tell me, if we encounter this kind of situation again, what would you choose to do?”
Upon hearing Donald's question, Amelia fell silent.
Indeed, in the past, Amelia had never imagined that matters of business could directly involve someone's death.
Before, she always thought that the most outrageous thing Fridolin could do to her was to limit her personal freedom.
However, she realized that if Donald wasn't with her, what she might have to endure could be even more terrifying than she imagined.
