When Donald regained his senses, he found himself alone. The other person had left, and Donald realized that his opponent was just as strong as he was. Due to his own carelessness, he had failed to prevent the man from escaping.
However, Donald didn't leave the encounter empty-handed. He now knew for certain that there were indeed experts present in the Enigma Club.
Shortly after the man's departure, several vans arrived at the entrance of the alley. Newton and his subordinates swiftly arrived and subdued all of Mad Hound's men.
"Mr. Campbell, I apologize for our tardiness," Newton said, having sent a message to Donald before his arrival.
Initially, Donald had thought that since the Enigma Club was going to be eradicated, it would be better to let Newton handle the aftermath and take over Mad Hound's territory in the process.
He hadn't expected Mad Hound to be killed by one of his own, resulting in the loss of all leads.
"Thank goodness you arrived late. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stop them from killing you," Newton remarked as he entered the alley, noticing the collapsed wall nearby.
Newton had already realized that there was more to Donald than met the eye, but he hadn't anticipated Donald's immense power, which had effortlessly reduced the wall to its current state.
What surprised Newton even more were Donald's words.
If the other party truly intended to harm me, even Donald wouldn't be able to stop it?
"Mr. Campbell, do you think I should lay low for a while?" Newton asked, glancing at Donald.
"Do you really believe that running abroad would ensure your safety if someone wanted to kill you? Just stay in Pollerton. At least if something does happen, I can seek vengeance on your behalf, right?" Donald replied.
