Chapter 198 Identity Revealed
“Move the treasures to South Aridlands for now and have John audit them before sending them off to relevant departments. Macy, I’ll leave you to handle this task. Sylvia, I need you to stay here,” ordered Caspian.
He felt that it was the safer option for the military to keep track of the treasures.
They would be a ticking time bomb if they were left around Southlake City. Evildoers might try to snatch up the treasures for money.
“Yes, sir! I’ll be right on it!!
Macy nodded her head and promptly began executing her given task.
2,000 men had arrived from South Aridlands, and they also proved convenient in transporting
the treasures away.
Nob*dy could tell how much all the treasures would be worth due to the immense scale.
“Caspian, what are your orders?” asked Sylvia.
“As the leader of Glorious Group, Taylor tried to steal Diatoran’s treasures and tried to kill me with the Tigran special forces. Two counts of criminal activity will be plenty to convict him and his group. I need you to seize all of the group’s assets,” ordered Caspian.
Caspian was no longer trying to hide his authority even though Willow and Zoey were by his
side.
He realized that it was troublesome to continue the facade and that his identity being revealed was only a matter of time.
“Yes, sir!” answered Sylvia.
“There are about two hours left before daybreak I need you to finish the task within an hour. Bring some of the men with you and head for Glorious Group right away. Don’t give them any time to react! Leave the transportation of the treasures to Macy.”
Sylvia nodded her head. “I understand. I’ll be on it right away!”
Willow was flabbergasted as she witnessed the scene unfold before her. She recalled how Caspian was nonchalant about Glorious Group and had mentioned their impending doom.
She was surprised that his words had come true in such a short time.
She was also suspicious of and interested in Caspian’s true identity after seeing how Sylvia was treating him with utmost respect.
She wondered if he really was just a retired soldier as he claimed to be. After all, he was able to

Zoey, too, was utterly shocked by what she was seeing.
She had always felt that Caspian was hiding to
something, but the current situation seemed reveal that he was even more powerful than she had thought.
At this moment, multiple tanks and transport trucks sent over by John arrived.
There were also tens of helicopters suspended in the air above them.
Caspian was tired of dealing with the aftermath and left Sylvia and Macy to deal with the rest.
He started the car, ready to
bring Willow and Zoey back home.
On the way back to Southlake City, Willow couldn’t help but ask, “Caspian, tell me the truth. Just who are you really?”
He calmly explained, “I’m the Diatoranian God of War.”
He had always carefully hidden his identity with various excuses. But now, he felt that he should no longer hide it from Willow.
It was only natural for his wife to learn about his true identity.
He couldn’t help but wonder if Lilith would still be alive if he had publicly announced his identity earlier.
The Yorks and the Flying Dragons wouldn’t have dared to harm any of his loved ones.
Caspian was annoyed the more he thought about it, and he eventually realized that he shouldn’t hide his identity any longer.
Both Willow and Zoey were shocked beyond belief when they heard his explanation.
“What did you say?”
Willow was convinced that she had just misheard his words.
And so, Caspian repeated once more, “I’m the Diatoranian God of War!”
Willow, however, was not buying it. “Okay, dude. You could at least come up with a better excuse this time. You must really think I’m stupid if you’re trying to claim to be the God of War himself.”
She still saw Caspian as the good–for–nothing of a man she had always known.
The Diatoranian God of War was a man of such pedigree that he couldn’t possibly grace the public with his presence in Southlake City.

Moreover, why would the great God of War marry someone like her?
Dhord City had plenty of options for beautiful wives, and those women were leagues above
herself.
Willow was convinced that Caspian was joking the more she thought about it.
“She’s right, Caspian. You shouldn’t claim to be the Diatoranian God of War. Not even I would try to write about something so preposterous… Just tell us what your rank is within the military already.”
Even Zoey was unconvinced that Caspian could be so immensely powerful.
Caspian was in disbelief over the two of them. “I’m telling the truth. I’m the Diatoranian God
of War.”
He was disappointed that the two of them thought he was joking when he laid out the bare truth for them.
Willow rolled her eyes. “Do you think we’d buy that? Come on, anyone would think you’re just bluffing. It’s not like we’re outsiders or anything. Just tell us the truth already.
She was still convinced that Caspian was just bluffing
“I’m already telling you nothing but the truth. What can I do if you don’t want to believe my words? How can I make you trust me, then?
He w
was upset that neither of them believed him.
“Why would you marry someone like me if you’re really the God of War? There’s plenty of better options out there, no?” asked Willow.
“You helped me when I was at the lowest point of my life. And besides, you’re the prettiest woman in Southlake City. It’s only natural that I marry you, no?” answered Caspian.
“Why did you willingly suffer all the humiliation and be branded as a mooching son–in–law of the Stewarts when you could’ve married someone even more prestigious as the God of War?”
Willow was still confused.
Smiling, Caspian replied, “I was charmed by your beauty. Is that not enough for a reason?”
“Hey, you two! I’m right here, you know? Save it for when you’re back home!” wailed Zoey.
She couldn’t believe that the couple was flirting right in front of her.
Willow pressed on, “Alright, alright, enough jokes. Tell us the truth, what’s your rank in the military?”
She wanted to find out about Caspian’s identity today no matter what as her suspicions had
+15 BONUS
Caspian was at a loss for words.
His title as the Diatoranian God of War was genuinely terrifying to the common folks. It was only natural that Willow did not believe him.
He decided that he needed to lie once more.
“I’m the same rank as Sylvia. We’re both general officers in the military. I just happen to be a senior of hers by service time alone. That’s the only reason why she treats me with respect.”
She was surprised. “Really? You’re a general officer?”
She was finally convinced now that Caspian claimed to be something more believable.
Caspian realized that being a general officer could also help explain all his actions prior to this
moment.
He was annoyed by the fact that he needed to continue lying about his identity. “Do you believe me now?”
He was baffled by the fact that they were convinced by his lies once more.
Caspian realized that it was only natural for them to react as such.
It was indeed far–fetched for a man who was known to be a good–for–nothing to claim to be the Diatoranian God of War out of nowhere.
