Chapter 225 Submission
+15 BONUS
Just as the people from Mahayan Pavilion were about to attack Caspian, a few announcements
were made.
“Mr. Melvin Jones, the leader of Celestial Sanctum, has arrived!”
“Mr. Jon Landers, the head of the Landers family, has arrived!”
“Mr. Herman Hatcher, the head of the Hatcher family, has arrived!”
“Mr. Jaxon Perez, the head of the Perez family, has arrived!”
“Mr. Howard Luckerman, the head of the Luckerman family, has arrived!”
Everyone thought Caspian was done for.
Melvin and the heads of the Four Noble Lineages strode into the hall.
From the looks of it, they had agreed beforehand to come over together.
Meanwhile, Wylie’s expression froze in shock.
He did not know what was going on. Why were Melvin and the four heads of Four Noble Lineages showing up at the event together?
Did they establish some kind of alliance in private?
The thought of that possibility weighed heavily on Wylie. It was the worst possible outcome
for him.
Even though Mahayan Pavilion was powerful, it could not stop other forces from joining hands.
Wylie was not the only one who thought of this. Everyone present could see what such an alliance meant.
The crowd knew they made the right decision by attending the event. They were in for a good show.
“Mr. Jones! Welcome!” Wylie said as he approached Melvin Jones with a smile.
Though they did not get along, he still needed to keep up with appearances when in public.
But to the guests‘ shock, Melvin, the leader of Celestial Sanctum, as well as the heads of the Four Noble Lineages, ignored Wylie.
They walked up to Caspian and kneeled before him.
“Greetings, Mr. Lynch. I’m Melvin Jones, the leader of Celestial Sanctum.”
“Greetings, Mr. Lynch. I’m Jon Landers.”

“Greetings, Mr. Lynch. I’m Herman Hatcher.”
“Greetings, Mr. Lynch. I’m Jaxon Perez.”
“Greetings, Mr. Lynch. I’m Howard Luckerman.”
All five men treated Caspian with the utmost respect.
What was going on?
Everyone was flabbergasted. They could not figure out the situation.
Even Wylie was dumbfounded.
Why did things take such a sudden turn?
“Dad! Why are you kneeling in front of this bastard?” Nigel walked over to Herman and asked in confusion.
Herman immediately slapped Nigel.
“Kneel! Apologize to Mr. Lynch!” he commanded.
“What…”
Nigel was still clueless as he clutched his hurting cheek while Herman forced him onto his knees.
Alarmed, Simon quickly got on his knees as well.
Though he did not understand what was happening, he had a strong feeling that Caspian had a powerful background.
“We’ve failed to teach our children properly, Mr. Lynch. If my son has offended you, feel free to punish him as you wish!” Herman said anxiously.
“Yes, Mr. Lynch. I’ve done a poor job of teaching my son. You may do whatever you want to him!” Jon said respectfully.
Simon and Nigel turned pale as they shook in fear.
Why were things turning out like this?
Their fathers, Herman and Jon, were the among heads of the Four Noble Lineages in Easton. Why did they have to kneel in front of Caspian?
The two young men could not think of a reasonable explanation, but they could sense just how terrifying Caspian was,
“The situation has nothing to do with us, Mr. Lynch! Billy is the one who incited us!”

“That’s right, Mr. Lynch. Please have mercy on us!”
Still on their knees, Simon and Nigel begged for forgiveness.
They sorely regretted messing with Caspian, but alas, it was too late. They had made ant unforgivable mistake!
“You two were pretty arrogant just now. You not only wanted to kill me, but you even wanted to assault my wife. Still think you can do it?” Caspian uttered coldly.
“No! We’d never dare to!”
Simon and Nigel vehemently shook their heads.
If they had known that Caspian came from such a powerful background, they never would have dared to do anything to him!
“You bastard! From today onward, you’re no longer part of the Landers family!” Jon fumed.
“And you! I’m cutting off all ties with you today!” Herman declared.
Jon and Herman were so incensed that they hastily disowned their sons.
Nigel and Simon looked as if all the life had been sapped out of them.
If they were kicked out of their families, they would lose everything and become one of the
masses.
Without their families‘ protection, everyone would come after them for revenge. They would even lose their lives. Alas, both men had made many enemies.
“Dad! Please don’t kick me out of the family! I’m begging you! Please give me another chance. I didn’t do it on purpose!” Nigel pleaded.
“Dad, I didn’t know he was a powerful figure. Otherwise, I would never have dared to mess with him!” Simon howled.
He was used to being a scion. If he got kicked out of the family, life would be a living hell for him.
Half an hour ago, Melvin had received a call from Easton’s first–in–command.
Melvin was immediately informed that someone powerful had arrived in Easton, and he even received a photo of that person.
To establish a connection with the heads of the Four Noble Lineages and gain their support, he shared the news with thein.
The heads of the Four Noble Lineages were stunned and instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. Someone who Easton’s first–in–command viewed in such high regard could not
+15 BONUS
As Easton was the second most prosperous city in Diatoran, the man in charge of Easton was a major player in Diatoran’s political scene too.
One could only imagine just how important the visitor had to be that even such a powerful figure was personally making arrangements for him.
Having understood the situation, the heads of the Four Noble Lineages dared not show any kind of disrespect. They swiftly came over to the event with Mervin to check out the powerful visitor for themselves.
The Four Noble Lineages combined wielded a significant amount of influence in Easton, but even so, they were nothing compared to Easton’s first–in–command. In that case, just how important of a person Caspian had to be that even the first–in–command respected him so?
Since Nigel and Simon had offended Caspian, Herman and Jon had no choice but to disown them.
Even though they were the oldest sons of the families, for the sake of the families‘ best interest, they had to be sacrificed.
If the powerful visitor was angered, their families would suffer, and things would be a lot worse for them than just losing a son.
In fact, by kicking Nigel and Simon out of the family, the lives of these two young men would be spared.
Nigel despaired as Herman did not even budge. He knew that he made a terrible mistake today. Otherwise, Herman would not be ignoring his desperate pleas.
Simon felt the same way. He knew he was done for.
“Men, drag this incorrigible punk out. From now on, he’s not allowed to step foot into Hatcher Residence!” Herman ordered.
Two of the
of the Hatcher family’s subordinates hauled Nigel out, and the Landers family’s subordinates did the same with Simon.
Herman and Jon continued to kneel on the floor as they awaited further instructions from Caspian.
Seeing as the two heads of the families had acted decisively, Caspian chuckled.
Simon and Nigel had received the punishment they deserved.
“That’s enough. You may rise,” Caspian said as he glanced at Sylvia.
He did not tell anyoné about his arrival in Easton, so there was only one explanation for this situation–Sylvia had let the word out.

True enough, when Sylvia caught Caspian’s eye, she flashed him a faint smile.
“Greetings, Mr. Lynch. I’m Melvin Jones, the 41st leader of Celestial Sanctum. I’ve had the honor of hearing about your glorious accomplishments,” Melvin said to Caspian with a look of
reverence.
