Chapter 280 Billy Makes a Run for It
“I have good news for you. The Four Noble Lineages of Easton no longer exist,” Sylvia said as she tossed him the latest newspaper.
Melvin picked it up and saw the news right away. The Four Noble Lineages were found to have violated the law and had been arrested for investigation.
Melvin was utterly shocked as the huge headline stared back at him.
What happened?
The Four Noble Lineages had been wiped out overnight?
What method did Caspian use?
Melvin’s heart was starting to beat faster as he grew increasingly curious about Caspian’s true identity.
He had always wanted to dig into Caspian’s background, but even after digging around, Caspian’s identity remained a mystery.
His files seemed to have disappeared from Diatoran and could not be traced through any channels. Because of this, Melvin had begun to grow more wary of Caspian.
“Does that mean I can return to Easton and revive Celestial Sanctum?” Melvin asked.
Considering how the Four Noble Lineages had been dealt with by the law, he could return to Easton and make a comeback!
“That’s no longer necessary. Caspian has given the instruction that there’s no need for underground forces to exist in Easton,” Sylvia said.
“What? But…”
Melvin’s heart dropped.
What did Caspian mean?
Was it no longer possible for Celestial Sanctum to return to Easton?
He had helped Caspian to defeat Galecrest and even lost some comrades in the process. Was this how Caspian was repaying him?
This was unacceptable!
He wanted to protest, but once he saw the look in Sylvia’s eyes, he knew that he had to give up on this idea.
Melvin had seen what Sylvia was capable of. If he dared to try anything, he would die on the
“Caspian has given his instructions. You’ve been working hard and given your all. He made a promise saying that the entire Celestial Sanctum may stay as long as you don’t hurt anyone,” Sylvia said.
Melvin was speechless when he heard this.
He then exclaimed, “Thank you, Mr. Lynch!”
For the time being, he no longer dared to ask for more. It sufficed that his force could be partially maintained. He could still develop it bit by bit.
At this moment in time, he did not dare to challenge Caspian.
Caspian and Willow were on a flight that was heading to Southlake City from Naporia.
“Willow, I’m truly sorry. I wanted to bring you on a vacation to Naporia so you could unwind, but we ended up running into some trouble,” Caspian said.
It truly was his intention to take Willow on a fun trip. Unfortunately, being the Diatoran God of war meant he had great responsibilities.
He could not just stand idly by when it came to protecting the people from harm. He had to step forward and resolve the problem as soon as he could.
“It’s alright! Besides, we had already visited the food street. I’m already happy enough,” Willow said with a smile.
She could not help but let out a laugh when she thought about the food street.
That incident at South River Restaurant where three of the Zann family members humiliated themselves was pretty hilarious.
To top it off, Caspian had also stuck Vermont with a huge bill.
“By the way, we’ve gained something from our trip to Naporia. A lot of estate belongs to us now. Do you have any plans for them?” Caspian asked.
With the eradication of Galecrest, many of their estates had become Caspian’s.
However, he was not planning on managing these companies. He wanted to transfer all of the estates to Southlake Corporation for Willow to manage.
“Now that you mention it, I’ve been stressing over this matter. Lately, the development of Southlake Corporation has been way too rapid for me to cope with.
“I’ve decided to have my father send someone to Naporia so that Southlake Corporation can open a branch there,” Willow said.
+15 BONUS
She never expected that this trip to Naporia would yield such a big harvest.
Since her father was being mistreated by the Stewart family, she thought of having him manage a branch office.
Caspian nodded without saying anything. His first impression of Carl was pretty good.
Meanwhile, Billy was running for his life on a freeway on the outskirts of Southlake City. He was drenched in blood.
Previously, Cole had asked him to bring a thousand men with him to Southlake City. Who knew that he would be ambushed on his way there?
All the men were killed. Billy had been lucky and managed to survive.
He did not expect that Southlake City would be so dangerous. The rest did not even make it inside the city and were already killed.
He was even more dejected when he learned that Galecrest had been completely destroyed and that Cole had escaped to Dhord City.
Billy looked around him, feeling completely lost. He felt like a vagabond.
He was the son of the master of Mahayan Pavilion. However, after Caspian appeared, everything was ruined.
It was all because of Caspian that he had become so pathetic and miserable.
“Caspian! I’ll have my revenge!” Billy cried out furiously.
Nevertheless, he knew very well that if he were to seek Caspian for revenge now, he would fail miserably.
He needed to join a force.
Billy dragged his exhausted b*dy and began fleeing like a madman.
Somewhere nearby, a special forces soldier asked, “Macy, do we need to kill this person right away?”
Macy shook her head.
She had rushed back to Southlake City in advance. A new order had been given to her to maintain order in Southlake City.
She happened to encounter Billy, who was on his way to a raid with his troop. She then brought the special forces soldiers with her to deal with the other party.
“Forget it. He won’t be able to do anything. Our goal has already been achieved,” Macy said.
+15 BONUS
Billy’s escape did not matter to her. A loser like him was not a threat to them.
“Let’s deal with this first. We wouldn’t want to cause any unwanted trouble!” Macy ordered.
More than a dozen special forces soldiers began to clear the scene. The bodies had piled up, and they had to dispose of them as soon as possible to avoid causing panic.
“Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Let’s clean up the mess. Caspian will return to Southlake City soon,” Macy said.
These special forces soldiers were urgently mobilized from South Aridlands.
They were extremely impressive. It did not take much time for them to get rid of the men Billy had brought.
“It’s a great honor for us to serve Lord Caspian!” the soldiers replied.
They had great respect for Caspian. Although they had not seen Caspian in person, they felt extremely honored to be able to serve the Diatoran God of War.
Meanwhile, the plane had landed at the airport of Southlake City.
Caspian held Willow’s hand as they walked out of the airport.
“Home is still the best!” Willow said as she smiled.
Everything was too fast–paced in Naporia. Willow preferred smaller cities like Southlake City.
“Let me take you home first, Willow,” Caspian said.
He then sent Willow back to the Riverside Duplex Villa.
Caspian was prepared to leave right away after having just arrived at the villa.
“Wait for me at home, honey. There’s something I need to deal with first,” Caspian said to Willow.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for you at home.” Willow nodded obediently.
She had full trust in Caspian. She knew that because Caspian’s identity was not ordinary, it was normal for him to be busy.
Willow knew she did not have to question Caspian. She believed that Caspian would not do anything that would wrong her.
