“See, Willow? I’ve always told you that he must be someone with authority! Do you believe me now? Turns out your husband’s a general officer! No one in Southlake
funny tricks on you now!” marveled Zoey.
Will dare to try any
She was also envious of Willow as she recalled herself blushing throughout the whole ordeal when Caspian rescued her and carried her out of danger.
She felt that it was a pity that Caspian was Willow’s husband and could not possibly become hers.
Willow was elated. “I get it already! I just never expected Caspian to be such a highly–ranked officer in the military!”
She had always thought Caspian was a good–for–nothing man who married into her family because of pure luck.
Caspian understood that Willow would not be able to accept the fact that was the Diatoranian God of War even if he tried to tell her the truth.
It was simply too intimidating of a title for the common people.
Zoey
tinued to praise, “Caspian’s ranking in the military is only one step below John, you know? I sure hope I can get a man like Caspian as well.
“That’s easy. I’m sure Caspian has plenty of friends within the military who he could
introduce you to,” jested Willow.
“It’s alright! It’s not like I’m as pretty as you or anything. I might not be able to handle having such an awesome husband like yours!” answered Zoey.

She could only look up to a man of such quality like Caspian.
Willow held onto Caspian’s arm and exclaimed, “Listen, Caspian. You can’t just simply let everyone know about your identity, alright? I don’t want you to be constantly gawked at by other women. It’ll be a problem if all sorts of rivals pop up to challenge our marriage!”
Caspian was surprised that Willow wanted him to continue keeping a low profile. He had expected her to be proud of his identity.
Although Willow was overjoyed with the revelation, she also began to feel that she was inadequate to be paired with him.
She felt that he was too powerful of a man as a general officer. He could easily charm any other
woman.
Titles and the authority that came along with it had been the symbol of might since ancient

Not even the most affluent businessman was a match of a man with authority.
She was worried that she might lose Caspian if he ever publicly announced his identity.
Smiling, Caspian reassured her, “What are you saying, honey? I won’t ever lay eyes on any other woman other than you.”
He was surprised that she would be jealous and protective over something like this.
“I don’t care. You have to listen to me! Or you’ll be sleeping on the sofa tonight.”
She instantly regretted her words as she wondered if he might run away to look for another woman’s company.
“Relax, honey. You’re my one and only,” answered Caspian.
Willow felt her heart aflutter as she basked in the sweet aftertaste of his reassurance.
She couldn’t believe that her own husband was a general officer, and he was so loyal to her too.
She wanted to give him a reward as she felt that it was an honor to be loved by a man like him.
“Enough already, you two! My eyes are bleeding with how much flirting is going on in front of me! Hmph! I’ll have Willow all to myself tonight!” complained Zoey.
The couple was taken aback as they were expecting to spend some alone time once they reached home.
But they didn’t decline Zoey’s requests as they felt bad.
Willow and Zoey went for a shower after they returned home safely.
Caspian sat down on the sofa in the living room and made a call to John.
Due to the special circumstances tonight, John was still on high alert and had not yet gone to bed.
John immediately greeted Caspian as he accepted the call, “Lord Caspian, how are things?”
“The Tigrans have been wiped clean, but we’ve also suffered tens of casualties,” answered Caspian.
John let out a sigh of relief. “That’s great news. I’ll be able to have a good sleep tonight, then.” Caspian continued, “I’ve already assigned troops to send all the treasures in Dragon’s Hill back to South Aridlands. I need you to audit and record everything before turning them in.”
“Yes, sir!” answered John.

Meanwhile, Sylvia led some soldiers toward Glorious Group.
It was five in the morning, and the surroundings were dead silent save for a few security guards on duty.
She led the charge and subdued the guards in an instant.
The group then continued to charge into Glorious Group.
The sudden invasion took the guards by surprise. They were given no time to react accordingly.
Sylvia continued to lead the charge and broke into the condominium of Glorious Group. They rounded up all of the higher–ups of the group.
The higher–ups were abruptly kidnapped in the middle of the night and were dumbfounded by the sudden occurrence.
“Who are you? Why did you arrest me?” asked Greg.
“You’re all arrested under the orders of Lord Caspian for attempting to steal the treasures of Diatoran, as well as attempting to murder Lord Caspian himself!” declared Sylvia.
Greg tried to claim innocence, “This has nothing to do with me! I don’t even know what you’re talking about! I’m a Tigran, and I wish to request to be directed to the Embassy of Tigra!”
He felt disrespected to be woken up in the middle of the night.
Sylvia, however, was not in the mood for chatter and simply ordered her soldiers to arrest all
of them..
Other residents of the condominium were shocked by the commotion.
They were all woken up by the commotion and came out of their units to gawk at what was happening.
They did not expect to see the CEO of Glorious Group get apprehended.
Nob*dy had expected the seemingly righteous Glorious Group to have their leader detained.
Plenty of employees had expected a better life when they applied to work for Glorious Group, but their dreams were crushed within a month due to the group’s closure.
Macy soon arrived at the scene as well.
“Macy, you’re right on time. I need you to lock down Glorious Group and prevent anyone from entering or leaving,” ordered Sylvia.
“Of course!”
Macy immediately stationed 200 soldiers around Glorious Group.

The higher–ups of the group were then moved to South Aridlands.
They were to face serious punishment for their crimes against the security of Diatoran.
Caspian remained at home. He could finally relax once he received an update that everything was going accordingly.
However, he no longer had any time to sleep as the sun had already risen.
Willow rushed out of the bedroom in a panic. “This is bad! I’m going to be late! Hubby, please drive me to my office!”
After coming home, she slept right after taking a shower.
When she woke up, she realized that she had overslept and was late for work.
“What’s the hurry? It’s not a big deal for the boss to be late once in a while, no?” asked Caspian.
“No way! I should be setting a good example for my employees!” answered Willow,
“Today’s an exception, considering you only made it home late into the night. Why don’t you catch up on some sleep and eat breakfast before going to work?”
Willow nodded her head and realized that she might as well stay at home a little longer since she was already late.
