Chapter 65 Coeus Club
Seeing Donald’s serious expression, Lucas immediately nodded. “All right.”
“I’ll hand over this building’s security system to you. No one will be allowed to enter starting today,”
instructed Donald.
“Yes, Lord Campbell.” Lucas was genuinely impressed by Donald. How could he stop a Barrett bullet
with his bare hands? I can never do that. Instantaneously, he decided to keep an eye on his son so that
he would not offend Donald.
If his son provoked Donald accidentally, their family would be doomed.
“How about the Southwood E-commerce District project?” asked Donald.
“We can officially launch the project after the approval for land reclamation is issued,” answered Charles.
“What should we do with the land that has been reclaimed?”
“Follow the plan. Build a world-class laboratory and data integration hub. You can decide on the rest. I’m
fine with building ordinary commercial houses,” uttered Donald.

After they chatted for a while, he received a call from Reina. “Where are you? I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Invite Lana as well,” said Donald.
At noon, he met Reina and Lana.
Reina was wearing a cap and a mask that completely covered her face and only exposed her bloodshot
eyes. On the contrary, Lana donned an off-shoulder long-sleeved top with a pleated skirt, revealing her
straight and slender legs, which attracted the attention of many people.
“How are you doing? Can you still endure it?” inquired Donald with a smile.
In response, Reina stared at him and remarked, “You’re definitely not a bodyguard!”
Her eyes were wide with curiosity.
This man is too mysterious. He managed to make Wynter change her mind with a sentence.
No celebrity dared to endorse her scarlet swans because it would be equivalent to cutting the red wire of
a bomb. One minor mistake and the celebrity would have to pay with their life. Even the pillar of the Lowe
family would not want to get involved.
Initially, Wynter was unwilling to do so, but after a while, she called back and said that she had already
discussed the matter with Donald.
Meanwhile, Lana chuckled and stated, “He’s really a bodyguard hired by me. I have to pay him five
thousand every month.”
Obviously, Reina was not convinced.
“Let me show you something before we eat.” Shortly afterward, Donald took out the paper he had nicked
from Bennett’s bag and handed it to Reina.
The latter’s expression turned grim and she sat beside Lana.
“This is an urgent document written in the latest version of ciphertexts. Papillon started using it fifty years
ago.” Lifting her head, Reina inquired, “Where did you get this?”
“I have annihilated the Four-Faced Angel, Bennett,” answered Donald.
In an instant, Reina narrowed her eyes.
“Why? Do you know him?” the man queried puzzledly.
“Ten years ago, I was a member of the Coeus Club and learned this type of ciphertext back then.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBennett was my teacher. Later, something happened to the Parasite, and the base was destroyed
overnight. All of the members were separated. At that time, we didn’t have a name and only used code
names to communicate. We lost contact with Bennett and the Parasite after they escaped,” Reina
explained.
The Coeus Club was the world’s top academic group at that time. Every member was a talented person
with a high IQ.
Naturally, Donald was well aware of the Coeus Club’s existence. That organization was not evil and
focused on medical research, scientific studies, animal and plant research, and so on. Hence, he did not
pay much attention to it. Little did he know that a woman who appeared to be frail was actually a member
of the Coeus Club.
“Me too. Perhaps Bennett brought the document back to Pollerton because he wanted to look for us,”
chimed in Lana flatly.
“What’s written in the document?” asked Donald.
The next moment, Lana and Reina continued to decipher the ciphertext. After working on it for an hour,
they lifted their heads, grave expressions on their faces. “The contents aren’t complete, but it mentions
one thing. It orders Bennett to go to the base and bring the one thousand samples away.”
