The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 67 Setting the Trap 

“Maybe she thinks that this place isn’t as comfortable as the Stewart Residence. My dad and I have to work during the day, and she’s all alone in the villa. It’s empty, and she doesn’t have anyone to talk to. Maybe she found it boring, so she went back on her own accord,” Willow said. 

Although Willow was lying, she said it convincingly, her expression and heart rate staying the same the whole time. Hence, Caspian didn’t question what Willow said. 

“What is it like working at Southlake Corporation?” Caspian asked. 

“After the incident, I took a long leave of absence,” Willow said with a sigh. “It’s better now. Now that you’re back, my life can get back on track. Has the organization assigned you any work?” 

“Not yet. I just took a leave of absence to come back for a while. If anything comes up, I will need to leave,” Caspian replied,I while stroking Willow’s hair indulgently.. 

“Why do you have to go back?” Willow asked, a little confused. 

“Diatoran needs me,” Caspian said, grinning. 

“Yeah, go on; keep bragging. You’re a soldier involved in Diatoran’s national affairs, right?” Willow scolded him, rolling her eyes. She didn’t believe him at all. 1 

Caspian was a little frustrated, but he didn’t explain further. He was Lord Caspian, who bore a high status and commanded a powerful army. If he told Willow his identity, she probably wouldn’t believe him. 

“Don’t worry about Mom. I’ll handle it. I’m afraid you’ll do something silly and impulsive,” Willow said. 

“You’ll handle it? Okay, tell me, how do you plan to handle it?” Caspian asked, doubtful. 

“I have my ways; you don’t need to know,” Willow replied. 

“I’d better handle this instead. You just stick to your work at the office.” Caspian was worried that Willow would do something foolish. He thought it would be safer if he handled this matter himself. 

“Wow, you don’t have any faith in me. You look down on me too much! I could hire an expert assassin to get rid of Derek and Quentin silently. That way, no one would ever suspect I am behind it,” she replied rather naively. 

“What? Is that what you’re planning?” Caspian asked in disbelief. 

“Yeah, you have to keep it a secret for me. Only the two of us know about this,” Willow said,

‘Be careful. Don’t be deceived by others,” Caspian said, feeling a little dumbfounded. The ruler of Diatoran, the most powerful man, was right in front of her, yet she intended to hire an 

assassin. 

“It’s all because I’m afraid you’ll be impulsive and get hurt. Hiring a skilled assassin is the best way,” she said with a sigh. 

“Just forget about taking revenge,” Caspian replied. “There aren’t as many mercenaries for hire as you think. Besides, you wouldn’t be able to contact them, so it’s better for you not to get involved.” 

“Alright, I won’t get involved then. I’ll leave it to you.” Although Willow promised not to 

Intervene, she had already contacted an assassin online. Seeing Lilith die in front of her had left a nasty feeling in her. 

Meanwhile, Nadia York was sitting with her descendants in the York family’s conference hall. Almost all of them were there to discuss their plans. 

“Caspian is simply too arrogant. Not only did he intrude on our home, but he also caused a ruckus at your birthday banquet, disabled Derek, and injured Mr. York. He disregards the York family completely!” 

“Yeah! If we don’t teach him a lesson, he might grow to be more arrogant!” 

“Caspian doesn’t seem to be a simple man. He held a grand wedding last month, and many distinguished guests attended. The five major families in Dhord City, and John Anderson, a leading military officer of South Aridlands, also came to support him!” 

“While the wedding was grand, according to my sources, the reason for such a grand occasion. was all thanks to John. It had nothing to do with Caspian. Caspian saved him before, so John was repaying the favor.” 

“John wouldn’t go to such lengths to wage war against us for just a common soldier. After all, they don’t have a deep relationship. In the end, it’s one favor for one favor. The debt has been repaid, and John has no reason to help Caspian anymore.” 

“Our family has many hidden talents. How can Caspian alone turn the tide against us? Contact people from the Office of Inspector General directly, arrest him, frame him with a crime, and 

kill him!” 

Everyone began engaging in the discussion, expressing their opinions. 

When everyone began talking at the same time, Nadia had to make a decision herself. “All of you shut up! There are still a few days left. Let the people from the Office of Inspector General investigate Caspian’s background first. Then, we’ll make plans according to the situation. If he’s just an ordinary soldier, we don’t need to be afraid of him.”

As the head of the York family, Nadia had to be careful and had to thoroughly investigate the matter before making plans. 

Sylvia investigated the York family’s network of relationships and Quentin’s background, the leader of the Flying Dragons. After that, she headed to Riverside Villa. 

Caspian didn’t want Willow to know that he had started to take action, so he quietly left the villa and got into Sylvia’s off–road vehicle. 

“Any leads on the investigation I assigned you?” Caspian asked after getting in the car. 

“Yes, we’ve figured out everything. The York family has deep connections with the chief of the Southlake City Office of Inspector General, and the York family often has dealings with the Flying Dragons. In other words, the York family is quite influential throughout Southlake City. Zachary York, the eldest son of the York family, holds important positions in both Southlake and Northlake. He has some background and power. However, in our eyes, he’s still insignificant,” Sylvia said. 

“The fact that the head of the Office of Inspector General is so close to the York family is alarming,” Caspian commented. 

“As the head of the Office of Inspector General, how could he collude with the York family to distort the truth? He should be killed immediately!” Sylvia said. 

“Let’s not get worked up. How about Quentin, the leader of the Flying Dragons? What are his activities and whereabouts?” 

“A thorough investigation has been done. Quentin frequents Paradise Clubhouse every night,” Sylvia replied. 

“What kind of place is that?” Caspian had been staying in Southlake City, but he had never heard of such a place. 

“It’s a clubhouse located in a very obscure place in Curvytown in Southlake City, and they conduct all sorts of businesses.” 

“That’s perfect. Let’s take down Paradise Clubhouse today!” Caspian said coldly. 

“Paradise Clubhouse is guarded by many members of the Flying Dragons, Caspian. We’re also unsure about the specific situation inside. As the ruler of Diatoran, you can’t afford to make any mistakes!” Sylvia advised. 

“Although I’ve been on the battlefield for so many years, I’ve never retreated. Do you think facing the Flying Dragons scares me? They killed my foster mother; I will pay them a visit even if I must walk through the gates of hell!” Caspian said firmly.
