onardo, the suprerne leader of the Two Lakes area, had been killed.
None of the leaders of the eight forces survived either.
Their subordinates, which numbered into the thousands, had all been captured as well.
Things seemed to have settled down in the Two Lakes area.
There were fewer cases of crime and other vicious incidents.
Over at Glorious Group, Taylor was shocked by the news.
“What did you say? Leonardo was killed? Thank goodness we were slower than them. If we had gone over to the branch office of Southlake Corporation with them, I’m afraid we would have shared his fate!”
Caspian was indeed the Diatoranian God of War. He was not an easy person to deal with.
“That’s right! Just who is Caspian anyway? Is he really just the Stewarts‘ useless son–in–law?” Greg exclaimed. He was beginning to doubt Caspian’s identity.
He had assumed that with Leonardo personally leading the attack, he and his men could have easily wiped out Caspian.
No one expected things to end up like this instead.
“Let’s cancel the plan for now and find a way to get our hands on the treasure from the mine. first. As for Caspian… We’ll have to wait a little longer. Or maybe we could target his wife instead. She’s his weakness,” Taylor said thoughtfully.
“Understood, Mr. Kemp, but I have a request. Once we kill Caspian, can I get his wife as my reward?” Greg asked expectantly.
The moment he first laid eyes on Willow, he began imagining what it would be like to get her in bed.
“Sure,” Taylor agreed with a nod.
He thought Greg was being incredibly short–sighted. All he wanted was a woman.
Once they got the treasure in the mine, they could have all the women they wanted.
Inside a five–star hotel in the Two Lakes area, Celestia was stunned and terrified by the news
that Leonardo had been killed.
“Ms. York, now that Leonardo has been killed, the Two Lakes area will undergo a massive

fear.
Celestia’s expression was stormy. Clenching her jaw, she said, “We came to the Two Lakes area to expand the family’s influence. We thought we could use Leonardo to gain some resources. Who would’ve thought that Leonardo would’ve been killed so easily?
“Who is Caspian? What background does he have? Why is he so powerful?”
Adam shook his head and sighed before responding, “I don’t know either, Ms. York. It’s too late to talk about this now. We have to leave at once.”
“Alright, we’ll retreat and settle this score next time!”
Celestia knew how dangerous the current situation was.
Since Leonardo was dead, she no longer had someone to do her bidding. There was no point in sticking around in the Two Lakes area.
as
She had to return to Dhord City as soon as possible and report everything to her family.
Those in charge of the family would decide their next course of action.
Leonardo’s death greatly affected the York family from Dhord City.
Just then, there was a loud bang as someone kicked open the door to the hotel room.
“Thinking about leaving now? Don’t you think it’s a bit too late?” Caspian remarked as he came in with Sylvia.
“Caspian!”
Celestia’s expression hardened at Caspian’s sudden arrival.
“Leave, Ms. York! I’ll delay them!” Adam yelled as he rushed toward Caspian.
However, Caspian did not do anything.
Sylvia dashed forward, and in the blink of an eye, she was gripping Adam by the neck.
“You overestimate yourself, fool,” she mocked.
Adam’s face turned bright red.
Celestia was rooted to the spot. She knew full well she had no chance of escaping.
“What on earth are you planning to do, Caspian?” Celestia asked shakily.
“It’s you and your family who insist on stirring up trouble. You came all the way to Southlake City to mess around. It wouldn’t make sense if I didn’t fight back, right?” Caspian commented. nonchalantly.

He flicked his hand, and Sylvia kicked Adam in the abdomen.
Adam’s head bashed against the wall, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The forceful blow ended up killing Adam.
“Mr. Bassett!” Celestia cried out softly.
“This is a lesson for the Yorks of Dhord City. When you get back to Dhord City, tell your family that it’s best if they stay out of the matters here in Southlake City. If not, I’ll make sure it’s a one–way trip for those who come over!” Caspian threatened coldly.
Celestia froze. It was her first time being issued such a ruthless threat.
“This isn’t over yet, Caspian! We, the Yorks of Dhord City, won’t let you get away with this!” Celestia uttered through gritted teeth.
Soon after, she fled with her tail between her legs. After leaving the hotel, she booked the earliest flight back to Dhord City and left Southlake City.
After getting Sylvia to deal with Adam, Caspian left the hotel.
“Caspian, why didn’t you tie up all the loose ends by killing Celestia York as well?” Sylvia. asked in confusion.
“Killing her won’t do anything. Our true opponent is her family, the Yorks of Dhord City. If they’re adamant about pursuing this matter further, I don’t mind wiping them off the face of the earth completely!” Caspian said with a smirk.
The incidents in Southlake City had nothing to do with the Yorks of Dhord City, but they insisted on butting into the situation.
“I get it now, Caspian,” Sylvia said with a look of realization. “I hadn’t thought of that.”
Caspian’s eyes gleamed shrewdly.
While it was easy enough to kill Celestia, there was no point
Dhord City were the true masterminds. Leonardo was in doing so. The Yorks back in

only able to lord over the Two Lakes.
If he wanted to let Diatorians live in peace, he needed to get rid of all these dark forces hidden
in the shadows.
That was Caspian’s goal, and it was also what the King of Diatoran hoped to see.
After eliminating Leonardo and the others, Caspian got the special forces soldiers to clean up

Geoffrey would remain as the general manager of Southlake Corporation’s branch office.
As he had done a good job this time, Caspian was not inclined to kill him. He was undeniably many times more useful than the other Yorks like Nadia.
As long as Geoffrey did as he was told, Caspian did not mind sparing him.
They were on the road when Sylvia asked, “Caspian, what should we do about Glorious Group?
Even though Leonardo was gone, another threat still lingered in Southlake City–Glorious Group, the company with a Tigran investor.
“There’s no rush. Just wait and see. Greg is just a pawn,” Caspian said.
“Why do you say that, Caspian?” Sylvia asked puzzledly.
“Do you think Tigra would let someone as rash and flashy as Greg be the main investor of a large corporation? Someone else must be pulling the strings behind him.” Caspian shared his analysis.
“Well, we can’t just sit around and do nothing, can we?” Sylvia asked.
“There’s no reason to feel nervous about Glorious Group. We’ve already brought out the
funding. Southlake Corporation has resumed normal operations.
“What we need to do now is wait for Glorious Group to slip up. Once they do, we’ll have a valid reason to wipe them out!” Caspian said.
Sylvia nodded. She understood what Caspian meant.
Her spies had uncovered some information. There was a formidable team of elite special forces soldiers hidden inside Glorious Group.
There were hundreds of them, and their real goal was to assassinate Caspian!
