Chapter 254 The Mastermind
Upon hearing this, Caspian was momentarily stunned. The Skyfeather Pavilion was indeed quite unique.
Were they establishing a sect, or were they doing a beauty contest?
“They’re so elegant and beautiful!” Willow couldn’t help but exclaim.
It was her first time seeing such a grand gathering. Of course, she wasn’t inferior in beauty to Avery, but the grandeur of their attire made them all the more stunning.
“Willow, if you wore clothes like that, you’d definitely be a hundred times more beautiful than them!” Caspian held Willow’s delicate hand and smiled.
Willow’s lips curled up slightly, and she felt a warmth.in her heart.
“Oh, Ms. Kirk, I never expected even someone as beautiful as you to participate in the martial arts competition!” Aster teased as he approached Avery.
“Why wouldn’t I come if you’re here?” Avery retorted coldly.
Looking at Avery’s aloof attitude, Aster didn’t show any displeasure.
Avery was famously known as an ice queen, the kind of beauty that made one desire her even
more.
“Avery the Beauty, do you know why Cole chose to organize this martial arts competition?” Aster asked.
“Are you pretending not to know? I don’t believe you don’t know his intentions,” she replied, her brows furrowing slightly.
“It seems like Galecrest has quite the ambition!” Aster laughed.
Afterward, members from other factions started arriving.
The entire Veiled Dragon Bay was bustling.
The master of Galecrest has arrived!”
Once all the factions had gathered in the square, another shout rang out.
Under the crowd’s gaze, Colé stepped forward.
“We pay our respects to Mr. Wilson!”
Upon seeing him appear, everyone nodded and saluted.
Caspian remained calm, standing straight in place and creating a stark contrast with the

Cole noticed him standing there and paused for a moment.
Who among those present today dared to show disrespect?
“Sir, that’s Caspian!” remarked Wylie, standing on the side.
Upon hearing this, Cole nodded.
He scrutinized Caspian once more, a glint of intensity flashing in his eyes.
In the next moment, his heart was filled with murderous intent.
How dared he disregard him! Caspian had committed a grave offense.
Noticing Cole’s gaze, a slight smirk played on Caspian’s lips.
The people standing beside Caspian trembled in fear.
Who was this man? How dared he disrespect Cole?
Wylie glared at Caspian, and his eyes were filled with fury. If it weren’t for Caspian, he would still be ruling over Easton. Now, he was under Cole’s control and had to act according to his
whims.
He gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill Caspian on the spot.
Caspian noticed Wylie’s hateful gaze but remained unbothered.
He viewed Wylie as nothing more than a defeated man, unworthy of his attention.
If Caspian truly intended to kill him, he would already be a lifeless b*dy.
“Caspian! You dare to come to the martial arts competition? Today, you’re as good as dead!” Wylie thought to himself as he observed Caspian’s indifferent demeanor.
“Mr. Lynch, this is Cole Wilson, the master of Galecrest,” Melvin said.
Even without Melvin’s reminder, Caspian could discern Cole’s superior air among the crowd. This man was undoubtedly one of the most exceptional eternal grandmasters.
“Thank you to everyone for attending this martial arts competition!” Cole laughed heartily.
However, his fake gratitude didn’t sit well with the audience.
Several prominent figures wore smiles on their faces.
Avery and Aster were both anticipating the upcoming spectacle.
“As we all know, the ancient martial families in the southeast have been at odds. This time, I wish to form an alliance with all the forces that are willing to join us. If we stand united, we can face all threats with full confidence. What do you think about my proposal?” Cole

After hearing his words, everyone understood his true intent.
He was ambitious and intended to unify all the martial forces in Diatoran.
Did he intend to seize half of Diatoran?
“I have a question!” At that moment, Aster of Azure Flames spoke up.
“Mr. Stevens, please share your thoughts,” Cole said, looking at Aster.
“If we establish an alliance, who will lead us? Unless Mr. Wilson had long decided to take charge?” Aster grinned mischievously.
All eyes turned to Cole. They were all eager to know his true intentions.
“Good question. Since I am the one who suggested this matter, it’s only fitting that I lead. I’d like to ask all of you, who else can take on this responsibility besides me?” Cole chuckled.
His words caused a stir among the crowd.
They had expected Cole to be more tactful.
Instead, he shamelessly revealed his true goal to everyone.
Witnessing his smug demeanor, the crowd understood that he had long been planning this move!
Aster and Avery exchanged glances, both wearing grim expressions.
Cole’s goal was now fully exposed. He intended to unite all the forces in the southeast.
Avery stepped forward. “Mr. Wilson, if you wish to lead us, you must show some results.
“The previous destruction of the Flying Dragons in Southlake City led to the nine remaining major gangs. To this day, we have no clues about the perpetrators.
“If you want everyone’s support, at the very least, you should resolve this matter. Otherwise, it’s hard for us to approve of you as the leader.”
“I’ve already identified the person who wiped out the Flying Dragons…” Cole sneered.
“Who?”
The crowd looked at Cole expectantly.
At the time, the sudden fall of Flying Dragons had many factions worried about their own safety.
The inability to find the mastermind behind it had kept the remaining nine major gangs on edge.

Given their achievements were founded on vigilance, they were particularly concerned about
this matter.
“It’s Caspian!” Cole stared intently at Caspian, his voice filled with hatred.
“Caspian?”
The people present were perplexed.
Who was Caspian? They had never heard of him before.
Wylie’s expression darkened as he found it absurd.
How much was Cole hiding from him?
It seemed he had secretly investigated Caspian.
Meanwhile, Caspian remained unbothered.
“Mr. Wilson, nob*dy has ever heard of the person you mentioned. Are you making him up?” Avery questioned.
Not only did she not know who Caspian was, but the rest also didn’t know him either.
“The person is here today and is the mastermind behind Flying Dragons‘ demise!” Cole pointed his finger.
The crowd looked in the direction he pointed.
Sensing the hostile gazes directed at them, Willow held onto Caspian tightly.
Caspian gently patted her hand and smiled faintly, reassuring her that she had nothing to fear with him around.
Amidst the complex gazes from the crowd, Caspian remained unmoved as he gave them a cold and indifferent smile.
