Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

The auctioneer announced, "The final lot of this auction, the Ice Velvet Plant, is sold for 300 million dollars! Congratulations to the bidder in Room 3."

When David knew that Danielle was in Room 3, he stopped increasing the bid. He had planned to buy the plant for her anyway.

Someone knocked on the door of Room 4.

A member of the Wulf Clan entered the room and said, "Mr. Wulf, members from the army have sneaked into the auction. There are only five of them."

Jackson opened his half-closed eyes and revealed a mocking smile. He ordered, "Capture them all and send them to the research lab."

Jackson received news of the army infiltrating the area yesterday and commanded his subordinates to look for them. Unfortunately, his subordinates did not manage to locate their whereabouts. It seemed that the army sent in some capable men.

However, Jackson was not worried since the other party had entered the Wulf Clan’s territory.

David actually played a huge role in assisting the army. He assigned his subordinates to guide the soldiers into the area. He even indirectly told the army the location of the Wulf Clan’s research lab. Without David’s help, the members of the army would have been discovered long ago.

A group of people in camouflage uniforms barged into Room 3 with guns.

One of them said to Danielle, "Shadow, Mr. Wulf wants to meet you."

Danielle glanced at them. These ten men were holding the latest weaponry. They certainly would not take no as an answer from her. Coincidentally, she also wanted to meet Jackson Wulf in person.

Danielle, together with Aiden, went to the reception room on the third floor. Jackson Wulf, the leader of the Wulf Clan, was sitting at the long table inside the room.

There was a deep scar on the left side of Jackson’s face. Overall, he looked like a demon running rampant in the mortal world. His gaze was as fierce as a beast’s, and he wore an evil smile.

Jackson greeted, "Long time no see, Shadow. I’ve always wanted to catch up with you, but I didn’t have the chance to do so."

Danielle stared at Jackson and said coldly, "Mr. Wulf, your way of catching up with people is very unique."

Right then, a man wearing a well-ironed suit and a golden demon mask strode into the reception room. He immediately noticed Danielle sitting at the side.

Jackson stood up and introduced Danielle to the man. "Shadow, this is Hades."

Danielle glanced at David and said indifferently, "Hades, nice to meet you."

Jackson then told David, "Hades, this is Shadow."

David stared at Danielle and teased, "Shadow, I’m impressed by what you’ve achieved despite your young age. It’s an honor to meet you."

Danielle replied, "The honor is mine."

She rolled her eyes internally and thought, ’David is not that much older than me.’

Nathan still could not wrap his head around how Danielle became the boss of the Shadow Fortress at such a young age. The border was a dangerous place.

Nathan was shocked to see that Danielle had come with only a single subordinate. He wondered if Danielle had ever been concerned about her own safety. Her subordinate didn’t look very powerful.

"Mr. Wulf, why did you invite us here?" David asked in a deep voice.

Jackson said, "I’m sure the two of you have heard that members of the army have infiltrated this place. There are only a dozen of them.

"We, the factions at the border, have always been independent from the army’s control. It won’t do us any good if the army sets up their base here. Why don’t we join forces to deal with them?"

A hint of deception flashed across Jackson’s eyes.

Danielle blinked. It seemed Jackson wanted to drag her and David down with him. The army had clearly come to raid the Wulf Clan’s research lab. Although only a dozen soldiers had come to the border, they were backed by the entire army force.

She thought, ’Jackson is cunning for trying to get us into his mess.

Danielle replied, "Mr. Wulf, how did you come to that conclusion? If the army wants to check out our places, so be it. It doesn’t affect us much. Mr. Wulf, when did you become so weak? Why do you need our three factions to join forces just to deal with a dozen soldiers?"

Jackson was stunned. He persuaded, "Shadow, if the army establishes their presence here, we won’t be able to run our businesses freely. You want freedom too, right? Why don’t we nip this in the bud?"
