Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Chapter 317

Xander became more excited as he spoke, jumping right up from the single sofa. As a resident of Dellanez, he had a clear understanding of the events from those days. His mother was a victim of that disaster. The toxic gas explosion at the Wright family's factory was due to deliberate sabotage during the fierce competition among the four major families. The official death toll reported from Dellanex was 31,900.

But the real number of deaths had already exceeded 100,000, and that was just based on hospital records. Gloomhaven was hit the hardest at that time.

It was densely populated, crowded with people, and close to the port, making it the easiest place for the disease to spread. So, they had to quarantine everyone there.

Back then, the whole Gloomhaven felt like a zombie apocalypse with everyone desperate to survive. But if they let the infected come out, it would spread to others. Moreover, the hospitals were full, and there were no effective medicines. People couldn't even receive basic treatment before they passed away

Kenneth lifted his eyelids, his deep phoenix-like eyes looked dismissively at Xander, with an arrogant expression. "Are you truly concerned about the people of Heloria, or are you just worried about how this might affect your election?" Xander was stunned, caught off guard by Kenneth's words. "Is this really how you see me?" Indeed, he was the kind of person who would abandon his wife and daughter for the presidency. He deserved to be viewed like that.

He first glanced at Kenneth, then let his gaze fall on Ophelia, a rare hint of a smile appearing on his usually serious face. "Dad, I respect any decision you make, but personally, I think the slums in Dellanex still need to be investigated. If they truly match what Ms. Spencer said, then developing the slums might not be a bad idea," Noah's words were quite neutral. Ophelia still wasn't used to hearing such serious talk from
