Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 358

“What's your take on this?” One of the “women” turned to the rest of the group and asked.

“Don't fall for this! It could be a bluff orchestrated by the Jacksons. If we reveal that we bear grudges against them, they will finish us off!” A more cautious victim could be heard whispering to the few around him.

His worry wasn't unfounded as Bobby was a pervert. After he castrated them, he had the audacity to introduce them to his other victims.

In order to make a livelihood, a few of them had gone abroad for full sex change surgeries to acquire a legally recognized female identity.

“But the Jacksons don't look like they're play-acting...” another man whispered.

The group softly discussed among themselves, but none of them had the courage to speak up against Bobby.

“Don't you want to see him pay for his crimes?” Harold asked those victims again.

“We do want him to pay for his crimes. If we want him to get a taste of his own medicine and lose his manhood, can you grant us our wish?” A brave young man threw caution to the wind and stepped forward to ask Harold.

Harold did not give him an answer. Instead, he turned to look at the Jacksons.

“Between the Jackson family's empire and your son, what would you choose?” Harold coldly asked Franklin.

Harold had gone over this issue in his mind and had given up on the Jackson family. He planned to groom someone else to replace them. Although Samuel managed to bring Franklin back from the brink of death, Franklin's health was compromised, and he didn't have much longer to live. If Bobby were to take over the empire, he would likely end up being manipulated and controlled by others.

Harold was not being ruthless, but Chanaea had to maintain a lead in the shipping industry. For the good of the country, he could not afford to let the Jackson family's empire fall into Bobby's hands.

Unlike Eren, he felt Bobby was beyond hope.

Eren was giving his best to fight for his inheritance. He was willing to go through with the necessary training and had the determination to succeed.

On the other hand, Bobby had a twisted personality.

“Mr. Campbell, I...” Franklin could feel his palms sweating as he was deeply torn. It was agonizing to have to choose between keeping his son safe or keeping his empire intact.

“Let me decide for you then. How about you keep your son and let go of your empire, allowing it to be replaced?” Harold casually proposed.

He spoke as if it would be effortless to groom someone else to replace Franklin and take on the huge empire controlled by the Jackson family.

Most of those present thought Harold was merely talking big, and only Franklin knew he truly had the ability to do that. Franklin had no doubt Harold's words were powerful enough to dictate the development of the world's shipping industry.

Harold could easily bring down the Jackson family and groom someone else to take their place.

The same had happened five years ago when he decided to let Franklin rise and replace the previous shipping magnate.

Everyone was stunned and witnessed in awe as the Jackson family rose to prominence and dominated the shipping industry within a short few years.

“I want to protect both my family legacy and my son, Mr. Campbell. I promise I will not hand over the control of my empire to Bobby after my demise. I'll entrust it to a professional management team. All I ask for is the assurance that my son will be provided for and that he does not have to worry about survival for the rest of his life,” Franklin pleaded.

“I've failed in my duty as a father. I'm responsible for the crimes that Bobby committed, so let me be the one to pay for the crimes!” he added.

With that declaration, he took out the scalpel from before and slashed it across his lower body.

“Dad!”

“Franklin!”

Bobby and Stephanie shouted out in horror, but it was too late for them to stop him.

Those in the room who witnessed the act were dumbfounded and in shock.

Harold could have acted in time to stop Franklin, but he didn't. All he did was look away.
