Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 156



Both Glen and Megan didn't bother him in the past few days.

Perhaps they had agreed to call off his and Megan's engagement.

Aside from that, there was another good news that thrilled Harold.

Samuel told him the day before that if everything went on smoothly, Isabella would regain consciousness the day after tomorrow.

It would also mean that she would be fully recovered.

On Wednesday, Harold arrived at Westlake in the suburb of Westview according to the appointed time and location with Quinton.

It had been years since he had been back, and Westlake Park was very different from what it used to be.

The vicinity of Westlake was previously a public park.

However, in present days, most areas had been divided for commercial uses.

Among them, the most famous would be the barbecue buffet stalls by Westlake.

There were many barbecue pits in that area. The visitors could bring their own barbecue ingredients and use the barbecue pits provided after paying the fees.

The barbecue buffet at Westlake would always be the first choice of many small companies for team-building sessions.

This time, Quinton and the others had reserved five barbecue pits to accommodate more than thirty people for the class reunion.

By the time Harold made an appearance, nearly all his classmates had arrived at the scene.

“Look! Isn't that Harold Campbell, the rich kid in our class back then? I heard that he has never kept in touch with any of us. How did you guys manage to contact him?”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Harold as soon as he turned up.

It was all because the man was way too famous during their school days.

Not only was he multi-talented, but he also came from the wealthiest family in town.

Moreover, he had a little complicated relationship with the most beautiful girl in their class. It was no surprise that he had become the talk of the school.

“I heard from Quinton that he was the one who contacted Harold. They met at Golden Sands Hotel last week, and it turned out that after the downfall of his family, he, who was once the son of the wealthiest family in town, has become the hotel's security guard. How tragic!” One of the classmates, Monkey, immediately told the others the gossip he had heard from Quinton when he noticed everyone was utterly surprised by Harold's appearance.

“Are you kidding me? The once son of the richest is now a security guard? Gosh, I wonder if Linda will still recognize him when she arrives.”

It was then that the crowd remembered that the Campbell family had been desolated for several years.

They no longer looked at Harold with friendly and ingratiating gazes. Instead, they regarded him with disdain.

Some of them even put on a gleeful look, waiting to gloat over his misery.

It was human nature that when they saw people who were once superior fall from grace, they would still feel thrilled even if the person's downfall wouldn't benefit them at all.

Such a mentality was called jealousy toward the rich.

Seeing his classmates looking at him, Harold waved at them as he greeted, “Hello, everyone. It has been a long while.”

However, not many people replied to him.

Only a few ladies with freckles all over their faces were more friendly to Harold as they knew they did not have the privilege to look down on others.

The rest, however, turned their heads and continued grilling the food.

“Over here, Mr. Moneybags. I have a grilled drumstick here. Come and have a try!”

The freckle-faced ladies pulled Harold over.

In the tray on the table were two grilled drumsticks. One of the ladies took one of them with a paper towel and stuffed it into Harold's hand.

“Thank you!”

Harold wasn't wishy-washy about it and took the drumstick.

Just as he was about to take a bite, someone stopped him. “Stop! Who permitted you to eat that drumstick? It's for Leroy, and he will be here soon. Put it down, now!”
