Chapter 236 Division of Easton
Outside the Jennings family manor, Wylie was in a bad state.
Although he managed to escape due to his perseverance, he was now completely alone.
All the subordinates from Mahayan Pavilion had perished.
Wylie dashed straight into the gates of the Jennings family manor.
“Dad, why do you look so disheveled?” Billy, who was recuperating in bed, was surprised to see his father return.
“No time to chatter. We need to leave immediately,” urged Wylie.
Though the situation was extremely dangerous, he refused to leave his son behind.
Billy was his only child, and he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving him alone in Easton.
The entire Jennings family would face disaster once he left, and Billy’s fate would be grim! “Dad, what’s happening? Why the rush? Where are we going?” Billy looked puzzled.
Ever since Caspian broke his leg, he had been resting at home.
“Stop asking questions. Any slower, and it’ll be the end of us!” Wylie impatiently retorted. He lifted Billy abruptly.
“Dad, just tell me what’s going on!” Billy had a bad feeling as he had never seen Wylie this tense before.
“Mahayan Pavilion has been annihilated. The leader of Celestial Sanctum and the heads of the Four Noble Lineages are probably on their way here. We need to move now!” Wylie said with a sorrowful expression.
Billy was utterly stunned by the news!
Mahayan Pavilion had been obliterated?
How could that be? Just the other day, they were ready to attack. How could it have been wiped out overnight?
Mahayan Pavilion was the dominant force in Easton. How could they have crumbled so easily? However, when Billy saw his father’s distressed appearance and the bloodstains on him, he was sure that his father was not lying.
The thought of Mahayan Pavilion’s demise suddenly filled his heart with terror!
The reason he dared to act so domineeringly in Easton was because he had Mahayan Pavilion

He would be dead if he stayed here any longer!
“Dad! Are we running away? Where are we heading to?” Billy asked anxiously.
“There’s only one place we can go. Naporia!” Wylie said grimly.
“Let’s go! We need to hurry!” Billy ignored the pain between his legs and followed Wylie out of the Jennings manor.
After the father and son had left, the heads of the Four Noble Lineages arrived with a sizable force and surrounded the villa.
“Charge in immediately! If we can’t catch Wylie, at least catch his son, Billy!” Howard commanded with a sweep of his hand.
The troop stormed into the villa.
If they captured Billy, they could use him to threaten Wylie!
“Bad news! It seems Billy has already escaped!” one of the subordinates reported.
Upon hearing this, Howard was stunned.
“Damn it! That brat fled fast!”
“It must be Wylie who took him away!”
Howard sneered and said, “Don’t just stand there! Send men to chase after them. They couldn’t have;
far!”
In no time, the troop began pursuing in various directions.
Meanwhile, Wylie and Billy arrived at a desolate dock in Easton.
“Dad, shouldn’t we head to the airport? Why come to this wilderness?” Billy looked puzzled at the weed–covered dock.
Wylie didn’t respond to him. Instead, he rummaged through the waist–high weeds by the shore and revealed a small yacht!
Seeing this scene, Billy was dumbfounded. It turned out Wylie had prepared in advance. “Don’t just stand there! Get on the boat!” Wylie shouted at the somewhat dazed Billy. “Okay! Okay!” Billy didn’t dare to waste time and immediately hopped onto the yacht. Wylie glanced back at Easton, brilliantly lit up in the night. It was bustling and vibrant. He

With determination, he turned around and gritted his teeth. He powered up the yacht.
Under the moonlight, ripples appeared on the water as the yacht gradually sailed away and eventually vanished into the night.
At the same time, two figures stood on the dock as they watched the yacht fade into the distance.
“Caspian, why didn’t we just kill Wylie?” Sylvia asked, confused.
“He’s already a dead man walking. He won’t be a threat. It’s better to seize the opportunity to resolve the troubles in Easton quickly. Besides, there’s a mess in Southlake City that needs our attention.” Caspian smiled.
Hearing this, she nodded and obeyed his decisions.
“Let’s go! Let’s sort out the matters in Easton first!” Caspian said and left.
Sylvia followed behind him.
Inside the meeting room at Starsphere Media, Melvin Jones paced anxiously, waiting for Caspian’s arrival.
He had been waiting for over an hour, yet he didn’t voice any complaints.
Just as he started to feel restless, the door swung open, and Caspian walked in with Sylvia.
“Greetings, Mr. Lynch!” Melvin greeted respectfully as he saw Caspian.
“Do you have something to report?” Caspian asked as he took the main seat.
“Mr. Lynch, I’ve wiped out all the subordinates of Mahayan Pavilion. But I couldn’t capture Wylie and his son,” Melvin nervously replied.
“Never mind. They won’t amount to much. If they’ve fled, let them be,” Caspian said nonchalantly, reclining in his chair.
Upon hearing this, Melvin breathed a sigh of relief.
He was also surprised that Wylie and Billy managed to escape. However, he was extremely terrified that Caspian would get upset over this.
But from Caspian’s expression, it seemed he didn’t care much about Wylie.
“Mr. Lynch, here’s a list of Mahayan Pavilion’s properties, industries, and other resources for your inspection.” Melyin handed a list to Caspian.
“Close down those underground gambling dens and clubs. Leave behind the legal enterprises

“As for other assets, you and Howard handle them yourselves. I won’t interfere. Do you have any objections?”
Caspian glanced casually at the list.
“I’ll follow your instructions!” Melvin nodded, not daring to voice any disagreement.
Even if Caspian took away all of Mahayan Pavilion’s assets, he wouldn’t dare object.
“Now that Mahayan Pavilion has been destroyed, Celestial Sanctum will become the new overlord of Easton. But let me warn you. If Celestial Sanctum engages in any unlawful activities, it will be the next one to be destroyed.” Caspian looked at Melvin coldly.
At these words, Melvin shivered in fear.
“Rest assured, Mr. Lynch. I’ll ensure that Celestial Sanctum’s subordinates won’t oppress the citizens!” he hastily assured.
“If that’s all, you may leave!” Caspian waved his head.
Melvin nodded respectfully and then exited the meeting room.
