Chapter 251 Come In, My Wife is Asleep
Several days passed in a flash.
Willow bricted Miranda on the company’s affairs before traveling with Caspian to Naporia.
Mean
in Naporia, many experts had received invitations from Galecrest, though they didn’t quite grasp the intentions behind these invitations.
Nonetheless, given the position that Galecrest held, some chose to join in the fun.
The entire atmosphere in Naporia became lively because of this.
At the headquarters of Galecrest, Cole sat on a tiger–patterned chair.
“Sir, is the martial arts competition specifically organized to get rid of Caspian?” Wylie stood below and asked cautiously.
“Caspian? He’s not worth my attention. The reason I organized this competition is to recruit more martial arts experts. This way, Galecrest can become the overlord of the southeastern part of Diatoran!” Cole sneered disdainfully.
In Cole’s eyes, Caspian indeed had some ability, but not enough to pose a threat to him.
He wasn’t as foolish as Wylie to be played by Caspian.
Upon hearing this, Wylie’s hopeful gaze gradually dimmed.
He had joined Galecrest in hopes of regaining control of Easton.
However, Cole’s thoughts were not focused on that matter at all.
“Wylie, don’t worry. Since I promised to help you return to Easton, I will keep my word. Besides, I’ve already sent invitations to Caspian and the members of Celestial Sanctum!” Cole noticed the change in Wylie’s emotions and spoke calmly.
At this, a glint of light flashed across Wylie’s deep eyes.
‘Sir, will Caspian and the members of Celestial Sanctum come?” Wylie asked cautiously.
“Whether they come or not doesn’t matter. Through this martial arts competition, I can recruit more martial arts experts. When the time comes, it will be easy to wipe out Celestial Sanctum and Caspian!” Cole said with a serious expressio
“If they do as I wish and dare to come to Naporia, they won’t ever return. Easton will sooner. or later belong to Galecrest!”
Cole’s words delighted Wylie, but the next moment, he sensed that something was amiss.
+15 BONUS
Easton would sooner or later belong to Galecrest?
What did this mean? Did Galecrest intend to expand its influence in Easton?
If that really happened, even if Wylie returned to Easton, it would be pointless!
He might just become a puppet for Galecrest! That was not what he wanted.
“Why? Do you have any objections?” Cole asked coldly, seeing that Wylie was silent.
Wylie sensed the killing intent in his words.
“I dare not have any objections! I will follow your arrangements!” he hurriedly replied and
nodded.
Cole then burst into laughter.
Seeing Wylie’s compliant manner, Cole started feeling a bit satisfied.
As long as he could recruit martial arts experts and take control of Easton, no one in Naporia
could rival him!
At Naporia International Airport.
“No wonder it’s a tourist city! And it’s also an ancient capital!”
Just after getting off the plane, Willow looked at the surrounding buildings and felt a sense of
calmness.
Life here didn’t seem as hurried. Instead, it had a more leisurely pace.
Naporia had its own unique characteristics.
“Willow, let’s find a place to rest for a while.” Caspian smiled.
He used to be out of the country to fight battles, so he intended to take the opportunity to explore Diatoran.
Soon, Willow and Caspian reached Naporia Grand Hotel, the largest five–star hotel in Naporia.
They took a cab to get there and booked a presidential suite.
Willow was a bit tired from the flight, so she freshened up and went to sleep first.
Sylvia also arrived at the suite’s living room.
She had been on the samé flight as Caspian but intentionally booked a seat far away from him.
“Sylvia, do you have information about the power distribution in Naporia?” Caspian asked Sylvia after he made sure that Willow was sound asleep.

“Caspian, I’ve already done my research before coming here. The biggest faction in Naporia is Galecrest. It has a long history and profound foundation. However, several years ago, there was some turmoil with them that led many of its members to leave.” Sylvia entered and reported.
“Oh? Tell me more,” Caspia urged with a furrowed brow.
He had heard rumors about the martial arts families in Diatoran.
Years ago, these families were everywhere. But after the turmoil, they fell into silence.
“Over a decade ago, Mahayan Pavilion was one faction that split from Galecrest. Some disciples of the Celestial Sanctum also originated from Galecrest. There are also the Eight, Noble Lineages in Naporia. Currently, they are the only ones who can contend with Galecrest, Sylvia explained.
At that moment, there was an urgent knocking at the door.
“Mr. Lynch, I am Melvin Jones!” A respectful voice sounded from outside.
Caspian’s expression turned serious. How did Melvin find him?
“Caspian, Melvin contacted me before, but I didn’t tell him about coming to Naporia,” Sylvia
said.
She had forgotten to inform Caspian about this matter.
“It’s alright,” Caspian replied. “Come in!”
Caspian didn’t pay much attention, believing that Melvin wouldn’t dare to act recklessly now,
“I, Melvin, leader of Celestial Sanctum, pay my respect to Mr. Lynch.” Melvin pushed the door open and cautiously walked in.
“Melvin, you have quite the nose! I’ve just arrived in Naporia, and you’ve found me. Did you track me?” Caspian’s face was calm.
“I dare not, I dare not! I happened to be staying in this hotel, too. I saw you earlier and followed you. Also, Galecrest sent me an invitation,” Melvin explained nervously.
Previously, he had contacted Sylvia to gauge Caspian’s opinion on Galecrest’s invitation, but she hadn’t gotten back to him.
“Oh? They sent you an invitation, too?” Caspian asked in confusion.
“I used to be under Galecrest. Later on, I followed the former leader and left. Although it’s been over a decade, the rélationship between Celestial Sanctum and Galecrest is significant. I also wanted to see what Galecrest is up to,” Melvin quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, Caspian finally understood.
+15 BONUS
Galecrest’s power several years ago was undoubtedly immense as a branch of theirs was capable of dominating a region.
“Do you know the purpose behind Galecrest organizing this martial arts competition?” Caspian inquired.
Melvin shook his head. “I’m not sure. At first, I thought they simply wanted skilled experts to try combating each other. But upon further thought, it seems the situation isn’t that simple. Galecrest might have some plans.”
“Do you have any plans?” Caspian asked with a smile.
Melvin’s sudden visit undoubtedly meant he had some intentions. Besides, he was extremely sharp and wouldn’t disclose everything to Caspian.
“I came here abruptly to discuss this matter with Mr. Lynch, and there’s another person who wishes to meet you,” Melvin said, waving his hand.
Following this, an elderly man in a robe entered the room.
This elder appeared to be around 70 to 80 years old.
Yet, he exuded vitality, emitting a strong force.
Clearly, he was a martial arts expert,
“I, Georgie Landor, pay my respect to Mr. Lynch.” The elder lowered his head.
Caspian examined him for a moment.
“Caspian, Georgie is from one of the Eight Noble Lineages in Naporia. He’s the head of the Landor family, which ranked fourth among these eight families,” Sylvia whispered in Caspian’s ears.
Caspian nodded. At this moment, Georgie was also observing Caspian intently.
