Lord Chapter 794
Chapter 794 Making a Switch
Over at Balthazar’s quarters, both Jerry and Kelvin were sporting dark expressions.
“We must get rid of Caspian at all costs! We’re all doomed if he manages to rise up again!” Jerry declared with a clenched jaw.
It went without saying that Jerry would undoubtedly be gobsmacked if he found out Lucas, the man standing before him now, was, in fact, Caspian in disguise.
‘Dad, let’s get Mr. Everett to come out of seclusion as soon as possible. He’s been studying the Black Moon Technique for several days, so he must’ve mastered it by now,” Kelvin suggested.
“It’s said that the Black Moon Technique is mysterious and hard to decipher. Even those who are exceedingly talented in martial arts require a lot of time to master it,” Avon swiftly said.
“Do you have any ideas about what we can do, Mr. Dunn?” Jerry asked.
“I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Mr. Andrews. His Majesty is still under our control, so Caspian won’t dare to do anything rash,” Avon declared with confidence.
“Be that as it may, if anything happens to His Majesty or if he dies in the King’s residence, we’ll lose our trump card!” Jerry was genuinely panicked.
He never thought he would have a mole among his people. Most alarmingly, he didn’t even know who the mole was.
“We at Life Force are masters at life force manipulation. I can use life force to check on His Majesty’s condition,” Avon said.
Jerry frowned and began scrutinizing Avon, but Avon remained expressionless.
Balthazar was the only thing guaranteeing the Andrews family’s safety and position right now. If anything happened to Balthazar, Jerry knew he and his entire family were doomed.
Thus, Avon’s suggestion made him vigilant.
While he didn’t suspect Jett of being the mole, he wondered if Jett would seize this chance to kidnap Balthazar and rebel against him.
After studying Avon for a moment, Jerry smiled and said, “Certainly. I’m grateful for your help, Mr. Dunn.”

Caspian and Avon exchanged glances. They were both ecstatic. As long as they were able to see Balthazar, they could carry out their plan.
Jerry led Avon to Balthazar’s bedroom, much to Avon’s excitement.
Just then, they heard hurried footsteps outside.
Judging from the commotion, it seemed like several people had gotten injured.
Caspian’s expression darkened as he surreptitiously drew closer to Jerry. If they got exposed, he was going to take Jerry hostage.
“Mr. Andrews! Mr. Dunn! Something terrible is happening! The guards and our people from Life Force are fighting!” shouted a member of Life Force who came stumbling in while covered in blood.
Just as Avon was about to speak, Caspian tugged on his sleeve.
“Find the chance to injure me and then we’ll make the switch,” Caspian
murmured at a volume only he and Avon could hear.
“What the fuck? Those bastards! Those guards are asking for it-” Caspian cursed as he began rushing out.
Before he could say anything more, Avon stepped forward and punched him in the chest.
Caspian’s expression stiffened. What the heck was Avon doing? The punch barely hurt at all.
Avon cast Caspian a sheepish glance. He dared not hit Caspian too hard, of course.
It was time for Caspian’s acting skills to shine.
Caspian allowed himself to stumble backward before slamming against the wall. His b*dy spasmed a little before he slumped onto the floor.
“Have you forgotten your place, punk?” Avon growled.
“Mr. Dunn, do you always discipline your subordinates this way? Don’t you think you’re being a bit harsh?” Jerry asked in confusion.
“You don’t understand, Mr. Andrews. Lucas here has always been a reckless. guy. Now that we’re in the King’s residence, we need to watch ourselves. He needs to learn this the hard way, or else he won’t remember to behave himself,” Avon explained.
“Kelvin, check on the situation and take Mr. Dunn with you,” Jerry instructed.
“I don’t think it’d be wise for me to head over there, Mr. Andrews. After all, the

fight involves my subordinates too. Why don’t we let Mr. Kelvin handle it himself? I should check on His Majesty’s condition as soon as possible,” Avon said respectfully.
However, that put Jerry on guard. Something felt off.
All three groups within Skyarch Palace often fought among themselves. In the past, the heads would always be very protective of their members. It was strange that Jett was being so indifferent this time.
“I’m just concerned about His Majesty’s condition, Mr. Andrews. Without him, we’ll all be in danger, and I don’t want that,” Avon said.
It dawned on Jerry that Jett was merely worried about ensuring his own safety.
“Get things sorted out at once, Kelvin,” Jerry instructed.
Caspian had purposely bitten his lip. Thus, as he lay on the floor, there was at trace of blood on his lips.
Avon quickly took out a pill and stuffed it into Caspian’s mouth.
Jerry was a little startled. What a strange man Jett seemed to be. He was so harsh with his own subordinate.
“Is he alright, Mr. Dunn?” Jerry asked as he eyed the seemingly unconscious Caspian.
“Of course. There’s nothing to worry about, Mr. Andrews,” Avon assured before entering Balthazar’s bedroom.
Balthazar was lying in bed. Even though Jerry and Avon entered quietly, he woke
up anyway.
Avon’s heart ached when he saw the exhaustion on Balthazar’s face.
But as Jerry was beside him, he tried his best to rein in his emotions.
“Your Majesty, I’ve come to check on you,” Avon said respectfully.
“I’m fine. I don’t need you to check on me,” Balthazar instantly rejected with a frown.
Even though he was under a spell, his subconscious mind was still intact.
“Cooperate with him. Let him check on you,” Jerry muttered.
He used witchcraft to force Balthazar to cooperate with the check–up.
Jerry intended to keep an eye on Avon the whole time, but all of a sudden, an intelligence officer reported that an urgent call from Byron had come in.

Upon hearing the news, Jerry became flustered.
He dared not keep Byron waiting, lest Byron got mad. Diatoran would be in trouble if Filren sent their troops to attack them.
After giving a few instructions to Avon, Jerry quickly left.
Meanwhile, Zane was stupefied when he found out that Hendrik was dead and Lyndon had gone missing.
He immediately gave a few instructions to the guards at the door before running
off.
Caspian had been trying to come up with a way to get rid of Jerry and his sons, but now, all three of them had left Balthazar’s bedroom. This had saved him the
trouble.
After confirming that there weren’t any security cameras around, he immediately stood up and disguised himself as Balthazar.
