Chapter 279 Melvin Falls Into a State of Despair
“Caspian, why didn’t you stop Cole and the others?” Sylvia asked, confused.
It would have been easy for them to stop Alfred.
“It’s fine. Do you think they’ll be able to sit back and relax when they return to Dhord City? Besides, I’m friends with the elite families in Dhord City. I can easily find an opportunity to deal with them whenever I want!” Caspian chuckled as he spoke.
Sylvia nodded.
Caspian was right.
The elite families of Dhord City had all attended Caspian’s wedding.
The Kane family was only a lesser–known elite family. They had nothing to boast about.
Caspian looked at the disappearing helicopters as he pondered with a slight concern.
Getting rid of Alfred might be a piece of cake, but what about the other forces in Dhord City?
The current situation in Dhord City was not optimistic either. A lot of the forces were planning to go rogue. They were acting up even before the King!
It was only a matter of time before they were eradicated!
In the main hall of Galecrest, Caspian sat on a high seat.
The people below were grinning from ear to ear.
Even though Cole had gotten away, Galecrest was successfully destroyed. To them, it meant that their goal had been achieved.
With that said, they could divide Galecrest’s estates. They had long been waiting for this day
to come.
“We were able to destroy Galecrest because of your help. Now that they’ve been destroyed, we shall proceed according to the arrangement we had made regarding the division of Galecrest’s
territories and estates.
“A portion of them shall be handled by all of you!” Caspian announced to the people.
“Thank you, Mr. Lynch!” Aster and the others said respectfully as they fell on their knees. They were simply overjoyed.
Galecrest had been firmly rooted in Naporia with many of their forces still active in the southern part of Naporia.

Needless to say, the number of territories and estates under Galecrest’s name was innumerable.
Galecrest was like a huge feast for all the parties involved.
“Speaking of which, you may grow your forces. However, if I catch you being autocratic like Galecrest, you’ll end up like them. Mark my words!” Caspian said coldly.
What he said shocked the people.
Now that they had witnessed how powerful Caspian was, nob*dy dared to follow in Galecrest’s footsteps.
“We’ll definitely obey the law!” the people shouted in unison.
“If there’s nothing else, you may now be excused,” Caspian said as he waved his hand.
Aster and the rest of the people left the main hall of Galecrest.
Caspian began brooding as he watched the people leave.
He knew very well that these people were not sincerely obeying him. Once they followed in the footsteps of Galecrest, the only end that awaited them was death!
Even after everyb*dy else had left, Melvin was still standing there, looking utterly lost.
He could not leave.
He was still thinking about Easton and Celestial Sanctum. The destruction of Galecrest gave him nothing in return.
“Melvin, why are you still here? Is there anything else you’d like to say?”
“Mr. Lynch, Galecrest has already been destroyed. What about the promise you made before…. “Melvin asked as he trembled with fear.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Have a good rest tonight and we’ll head to Easton tomorrow!” Caspian said with a smile.
Melvin wished they could just fly back to Easton right away to eradicate the Four Noble.
Lineages.
However, he could only accede to Caspian’s instruction.
Caspian waited for Melvin to leave before moving on to the next agenda.
He looked at Sylvia who was beside him and asked, “How’s the preparation going?”
“Everything is ready. They’re just waiting for your order,” Sylvia responded.

There was a club called the White Horse Club in Easton.
It was the largest one in the city.
Many supermodels could be found in the club.
Seated in one of the luxurious cubicles were the leaders of the Four Noble lineages.
They were celebrating the eradication of Celestial Sanctum.
We’ve finall
gathered together. Here’s to hoping the Four Noble Lineages can firmly maintain the seat of the Supreme Leader!” Howard said as he stepped forward and raised his glass.
“Cheers!”
The other leaders smiled as they rose from their seats.
Each of them emptied their glasses.
“Howard, do you think Caspian and Melvin will still come back to Easton to challenge us?” Herman asked worriedly.
The others were also looking at Howard as they were worried about this matter.
Although they had eradicated Celestial Sanctum, they remained vigilant.
This was because Caspian and Melvin could return to Easton at any time.
They were afraid that there might be a catastrophe once Caspian arrived.
“Don’t worry, everyone. Caspian’s currently preoccupied with Galecrest’s matters. Who knows, he might have already been killed? Don’t forget, Galecrest is very powerful!” Howard said with a smile.
They were relieved to hear this.
They knew very well how strong Galecrest was.
No matter how capable Caspian was, there was no way he could overthrow Galecrest.
“Enough with the worries. Let’s just drink till we drop!”
The leaders of the Four Noble Lineages drank the night away and chatted happily.
All of a sudden, there was a loud bang. The door to their private room was kicked open.
Armed officers from the Inspector General’s office rushed in.
They raised their weapons and aimed at the leaders of the Four Noble Lineages.
“Who are you motherfuckers? How dare you interrupt our party?” Howard roared.

They were the supreme leaders of Easton. How could these people just freely barge into their cubicles?
The leader of the inspection team showed his identity card and said, “I’m the leader of
Easton’s inspection team. The Four Noble Lineages were found to be in violation of the law. We request your cooperation in the investigation!”
“What?”
he four of them were
momentarily stunned. They were thinking of resisting.
However, with so many firearms present, they did not dare to act rashly.
“Take them away!” the team leader said as he waved his hand.
The leaders of the Four Noble Lineages were then handcuffed immediately and taken away from the White Horse Club.
The next day, there was breaking news that shocked the entire Easton.
The leaders of the Four Noble Lineages had been found in violation of the law and were captured by the officers of the Inspector General’s office.
The Four Noble Lineages were at a point of no return.
The people of Easton rushed to tell each other the news. For a moment, the streets of Easton were deserted.
Melvin was ready and had come to the villa to look for Caspian.
“Ms. Frost, I wonder when Mr. Lynch will be returning to Easton with me?” Melvin asked politely.
“Caspian has left with Willow,” Sylvia replied.
Melvin was stunned to hear this.
He had initially wanted to return to Easton and regain authority with Caspian’s help.
Why did Caspian suddenly leave on his own?
“Where did Mr. Lynch go? Easton?” Melvin asked tentatively.
“Caspian has returned to Southlake City,” Sylvia said impatiently.
“What? But Mr. Lynch promised me that he’d return to Easton with me to help me take back my territory,” Melvin said rather emotionally.
“The audacity! Do you think Caspian has to report everything to you?” Sylvia yelled fiercely.
Melvin was frightened, his back drenched in cold sweat. “Forgive me!” Melvin replied hurriedly.
