hapter 226 Who Dares to Lay a Hand on Mr Lynch
Upon hearing what Melvin said, Caspian felt puzzled. He did not recall having any kind of connection to Celestial Sanctum.
Sylvia, who was standing beside Caspian, reminded quietly, “A few years ago, a foreign force rose up in Easton. You led the team in a mission to eradicate that force. At the time, Melvin had d only just become the leader of Celestial Sanctum.”
“Oh. Is that so? I wouldn’t have remembered if you didn’t mention it,” Caspian commented. As Lord Caspian, the Diatoranian God of War, he had overseen countless fights and battles of varying magnitude. Naturally, he had completely forgotten about such a minor incident.
At the time, he merely oversaw the battle from afar and had not come over to Easton in person, so he could not rememberl many details.
A few years ago, Melvin had only just become the leader of Celestial Sanctum when a major incident rocked Easton.
Due to that, Celestial Sanctum started declining and only recently managed to regain some of its former glory. All the members of Celestial Sanctum were determined to reclaim their position as the most powerful force in Easton.
“Caspian, Celestial Sanctum can be considered a righteous force in Easton. They’re not like Mahayan Pavilion. Maybe we can consider giving them a chance,” Sylvia suggested.
She had looked into Celestial Sanctum before. Even though they seemed like a criminal gang, in reality, they had never done anything immoral.
At the very least, they did not stoop to the levels of Mahayan Pavilion.
“Got it,” Caspian said to Sylvia with a nod. Then, he turned to Melvin and said, “If you wish to lead Celestial Sanctum back to its former glory, you only need to do one thing–wipe out Mahayan Pavilion!”
Everyone present was stupefied. They wondered if they had just misheard Caspian. Did he just ask Melvin to wipe out Mahayan Pavilion?
Who was Caspian? Why did even the leader of Celestial Sanctum take orders from him?
“Understood!”
Melvin was alarmed by Caspian’s words, too, but he immediately agreed without hesitation.
All these while, Melvin made sure Celestial Sanctum kept a low profile because he was biding his time. He was waiting until the day they could destroy Mahayan Pavilion and reclaim their position as the most powerful force
in Easton!

“As if you can wipe out Mahayan Pavilion just because you want to. You two sure know how to brag!” Wylie guffawed without a care in the world.
Even now, he did not think Caspian was someone of any importance.
Yet, Caspian had the gall to claim he wanted to wipe out Mahayan Pavilion.
It was a delusional fantasy!
Wylie glowered murderously at Caspian.
No matter what happened, he wanted to kill Caspian. Despite not knowing Caspian’s true identity, he could tell from Melvin’s respectful attitude that Caspian was no ordinary person.
Tonight was the best chance he could get. The place was filled with Mahayan Pavilion’s people. Even if Melvin dared to make a move, he could not do anything
Ignoring Wylie, Caspian said, “Melvin, I give you three days to wipe out Mahayan Pavilion. If you can do it, I won’t question what Celestial Sanctum does after that. However, if you fail, I see no reason to keep Celestial Sanctum around any longer.”
Upon hearing that, Melvin trembled. He did not dare to doubt what Caspian was capable of.
days is on
“Rest assured, Mr. Lynch. Three time!” Melvin replied with a nod.
“Let’s go, Willow,” Caspian said to Willow as he looked at her gently.
Just moments ago, he was the imposing Lord Caspian, but now, he merely seemed like an ordinary man who doted on his wife.
Everyone could not connect the two sides of him. Was he still the same person? Why did his demeanor change so abruptly?
“Alright,” Willow said compliantly.
Caspian took Willow’s hand and started walking.
Wylie was outraged that Caspian had completely ignored him. With a twisted expression, he bellowed, “You think you can walk out just like that after hurting my son and ruining my event? Who do you think I am?”
As soon as he spoke, all the people from Mahayan Pavilion began surrounding Caspian.
Initially, Wylie wanted to use this event to raise his reputation. But thanks to Caspian, Mahayan Pavilion was made a laughingstock tonight.
As the master of Mahayan Pavilion, Wylie was not letting Caspian get away so easily.
If Caspian was able to walk out of the place unscathed, no one would respect Mahayan Pavilion anymore.

Caspian ignored Caspian. He simply glanced at Melvin.
Melvin immediately roared, “Let’s see who dares to stop Mr. Lynch!”
He gave the order, and hundreds of people from Celestial Sanctum rushed into the hall.
With fearsome expressions and domineering stances, the armed men engaged in a standoff against those from Mahayan Pavilion.
“Melvin Jones, are you declaring war against Mahayan Pavilion today?” Wylie snarled in anger.
He never thought that Celestial Sanctum, which had been lying low the whole time, would make such a risky stance for Caspian.
“I’m not trying to declare war between us, Wylie, but since you intend to harm Mr. Lynch, I have no choice but to come forward to protect him!” Melvin declared.
“Why, you…”
Wylie did not expect the situation to turn out like this..
If both forces clashed, it would certainly lead to a bloodbath in Easton.
The heads of the Four Noble Lineages exchanged looks.
Anyone who dares to lay a hand on Mr. Lynch will have to answer to us!” they shouted in
unison.
At the same time, their people stormed into the hall.
In an instant, the hall was filled with people from numerous different factions and forces.
Wylie’s expression darkened.
Initially, he wanted to use this event to win over the Four Noble Lineages and ally with them.
He never would have thought that they would stand against Mahayan Pavilion for Caspian’s sake!
Were they not afraid of being annihilated?
“Have you thought about what would happen if the Four Noble Lineages stood against Mahayan Pavilion?” Wylie said coldly.
“We swear to protect Mr. Lynch with our lives!” the four family heads declared together.
Mahayan Pavilion was slowly getting more powerful and starting to suppress the other forces. in Easton.
Truth be told, the other forces had long since wanted to join hands to take down Mahayan
Pavilion.

Caspian, someone with a powerful and mysterious background, became their beacon of hope.
“Do you still want to stop me, Wylie?” Caspian asked indifferently.
Wylie ground his teeth in fury.
Though he sorely wanted to tell his men to attack Caspian, he dared not give the order!
The situation had spun out of control. Mahayan Pavilion was up against the combined forces of Celestial Sanctum and the Four Noble Lineages. Even if they emerged victorious, it would come at a heavy price.
Wylie could not even imagine the catastrophic losses they would face.
“Mahayan Pavilion, huh? What a hollow reputation!” Caspian remarked with a smirk.
Under everyone’s watchful gazes, Caspian took Willow by the hand and left.
As Wylie stared after Caspian and Willow, he turned bright red with fury. Caspian had just insulted Mahayan Pavilion!
