Chapter 277 Rather Dead Than Humiliated
Non
No matter how strong Caspian was, there was no way he could defend himself against armed guards!
However, what happened next shocked everyone.
Irwin walked up to Caspian with hastened steps.
th a bow, he e
Caspian, “Hail the Diator–hail Mr. Lynch!”
Irwin almost let his tongue slip and gave Capsian’s identity away. Sylvia had specifically told him not to expose Caspian’s identity in public.
“There’s no need for such formalities,” Caspian said as he looked at Irwin briefly.
“Thank you, Mr. Lynch!” Irwin said as he lifted his head.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Caspian’s superior attitude toward Irwin.
Why would Irwin, the governor of Naporia, bow to Caspian?
What was Caspian’s true identity?
Was he really a matrilocal son–in–law from Southlake City?
Everyone began suspecting Caspian’s true identity. They could not see through him.
It was inconceivable that the governor of Naporia would bow to Caspian.
It did not matter what Caspian’s true identity was.
To Melvin and those acquainted with him, the stronger Caspian’s background was, the happier they were.
This was because they were now all on Caspian’s side.
All the leaders of the Eight Noble Lineages looked happy as well.
To them, victory was something that was already set in stone.
On the other hand, the men of Galecrest looked dismayed.
They had initially wanted to resist until the end. However, they completely lost all confidence
when they saw the governor of Naporia being submissive to Caspian.
Cole’s face was ashen. He never expected that Irwin would be subservient to Caspian.
Was this really the end for Galecrest?
Cole was devastated.

“You may all rise now,” Irwin said in a serious tone as he looked at the people.
And so they did.
Irwin then walked over to stand next to Caspian, not daring to speak a word more.
The others might not know Caspian’s true identity, but Irwin did.
He had no authority to speak if Caspian was present.
Cole held onto his chest and partially knelt on the ground. At that moment, he felt utterly lost.
“Cole Wilson, do you admit to your crimes?” Caspian asked coldly as he stared at Cole.
Laughing, Cole asked, “What am I guilty of?”
He gritted his teeth and got up. He then jested, “Could it be that you plan to convict me, Caspian?”
“The audacity! How dare you speak to Mr. Lynch in that tone?” Irwin came forward and exclaimed.
His men then raised their firearms and aimed at Cole.
The men of Galecrest trembled at this scene.
No matter how powerful they were, they could not fight against those who were armed.
Vermont and his men just remained on the sidelines.
They did not have to join in. The situation was clear as day–Galecrest no longer had any chance of making a comeback.
“You can’t possibly think that you can just destroy Galecrest? The fact that I’m able to become the master of Galecrest means that I’m not someone who gives up easily!” Cole said through gritted teeth.
He could not accept his failure.
Caspian had only shown up for a few days and yet he had already destroyed Galecrest. Cole glared at Caspian, his eyes filled with fury.
“As the master of Galecrest, you’ve been imperious in Naporia. You’ve long been the subject of detestation among the people here.
“Today, you must receive the punishment you deserve. If you stop resisting and surrender immediately, we might still grant you leniency!” Caspian proclaimed sternly.
Silence filled the entire plaza.
Everyone was waiting for Cole to surrender.

With how things were going, there was absolutely no way for him to turn the situation around.
Now that the governor of Naporia had gotten involved, Galecrest would undoubtedly be defeated.
To everyone’s surprise, Cole laughed out loud as he looked at the sky.
“Stop bluffing, Caspian! Grant me leniency? You must be joking!
“Even if I had ten lives, that wouldn’t be enough for me to redeem myself after all that I’ve done! Asking me to surrender is like asking me to die!” Cole cursed.
Ever since he became the master of Galecrest, he had committed countless sins in Naporia.
He would never surrender!
since:
Looking at Cole’s stubbornness, Caspian scowled and said, insist on being so stubborn, you’d better not blame me!”
Caspian waved his hand.
More than a dozen special forces soldiers surrounded him with their weapons.
“Don’t shoot! I surrender!” one of Galecrest’s men shouted.
When they heard this, more of Galecrest’s members followed suit and dropped their weapons.
“Don’t kill us. I’ve already put down my weapon.”
“I surrender.”
One by one, all of Galecrest’s men placed their hands above their heads.
Faced with live ammunition, they all lost the desire to resist. They could only surrender. Otherwise, they would lose their lives.
“What a bunch of useless garbage! Why does Galecrest have spineless cowards like you? So what if you die?
“I can’t believe all of you actually surrendered to our enemy. It’s a shame! What a shame!” Cole shook his head in dismay as he looked at his men.
They had made a pact, but it seemed like their true colors had finally been revealed.
When they heard this, many of the men lowered their heads. They had nothing to say.
“Cole, do you see it now? Your subordinates have given up on resisting. Are you still going to be obstinate?” Caspian laughed.
Cole became silent.
+15 BONUS
Galecrest had dominated Naporia for more than a decade. However, it had now vanished In the blink of an eye.
Cole laughed once again.
He then coughed and threw up a mouthful of blood.
He was filled with frustration and helplessness on the inside.
“You may destroy Galecrest, but you’ll never make me yield!” Cole cried out while staring at Caspian with bloodshot eyes.
“I can’t believe you’re still so arrogant! Sylvia, finish him!” Caspian said as he shook his head.
“Yes, sir!” Sylvia said as she took a few steps forward, her expression stiffening.
“Cole Wilson, you’re not worthy of Caspian’s effort. I’ll be the one to end you!” Sylvia said as she charged toward Cole.
Watching Sylvia heading straight toward him made Cole realize that resistance was futile.
His only defense was guarding his chest with his arms.
He knew very well that he would not be able to escape
Sylvia’s method was also spectacular. She could end Night Shadow with just one kick. This could only mean one thing–she had great powers.
After all, Night Shadow was an eternal grandmaster.
Cole had been badly injured. It was simply impossible for him to defeat Sylvia.
Nevertheless, he was the master of Galecrest.
Even if he had to die, his death should not be this miserable!
Cole took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with dejection.
“Caspian! I can die in a battle, but I’ll never surrender!”
Cole exclaimed as he lifted his head toward the sky.
Tears fell down both sides of his face.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound.
It was at this moment that an extremely noisy sound came from the sky.
Everyone turned their head toward the source of the sound. More than a dozen helicopters had appeared in the night sky!
