Chapter 282 Top Secret Identity
After being silent for a long period of time, Chandler shouted in a piercing voice, “Cole Wilson! Do you admit your wrongdoings?” Chandler demanded. He was filled with malevolence.
When Cole felt Chandler’s malice, he trembled with fear. He began feeling extremely uneasy.
I do! Please spare me, Mr. Kane!” Cole pleaded with utmost urgency.
Chandler slammed the table beside him and roared, “Because of your recklessness, my decades -long plan has completely been ruined! Now you’re telling me that you still want to live?”
Chandler became the leader of the Kane family more than 30 years ago.
At that time, he was someone strong–willed and high–spirited.
He had even planned to promote the Kane family to become an elite family in Dhord city.
This led to him stationing Cole in Naporia. With the support of the Kane family, Cole gradually became the master of Galecrest.
With Galecrest establishing a firm foothold in Naporia, it seemed like Chandler was about to harvest the fruits of his decades–long plan.
Alas, Galacrest was destroyed at such a crucial moment! A plan that had been in motion for decades was completely ruined in the blink of an eye!
How could Chandler not be angry? His hard work of more than a decade went down the drain in an instant. Nob*dy would be able to accept this.
Cole became frightened upon seeing Chandler’s wrath.
He could only kneel on the ground and plead over and over again.
“Please, have mercy on me! Please give me one more chance. It’s all because of Caspian!
“If it isn’t for the fact that he holds the majority of the control over the forces in the southern part of Diatoran…” Cole begged incessantly.
In the entire hall, not one person dared to make a sound.
Only the sound of Cole’s pleading could be heard throughout the entire hall.
Cole was extremely worried. He could already imagine his ending.
He feared the power of the Kane family. He did not dare to resist in any way. He could only kneel on the ground and acquiesce in the decision to punish him.
“In consideration of your loyalty to the Kane family over the past few decades. I can spare you

“I’m beyond grateful, Mr. Kane! Thank you so much, Mr. Kane!” Cole thanked Chandler profusely.
“I can choose not to kill you, but you must atone for your sins.”
“Yes, sir!”
Cole nodded his head profusely. He was now fully subservient to Chandler.
Chandler recovered his composure.
“Who is Caspian?” Chandler asked.
“He’s just the matrilocal son–in–law of the Stewart family. He was also a soldier for several years. I’m just not sure how he can be so powerful.
“He has defeated Leonardo Xanthos of the Two Lakes area, Mahayan Pavilion of Easton, and Galecrest,” Cole said.
Chandler frowned upon hearing this.
Was Caspian an average matrilocal son–in–law? The fact that he could defeat all three forces. meant that he had to be someone extraordinary.
“Mr. Alfred, do you know Caspian’s real identity?” Chandler asked as he looked at Alfred.
“I’ve done some investigation on Caspian’s background, sir. He really is the matrilocal son–in- law of the Stewart family. However, what’s strange is that all the information about his identity seems to have been hidden.
“I’ve tried digging around, but the only information I got is that he was once a soldier. As for any other detail, I found nothing,” Alfred said.
This was surprising.
Chandler was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
His details had been hidden?
How could the Kane family not get their hands on any information? This was a first for them.
“Could it be that he’s from one of the elite families of Dhord City?” Cole asked.
“That’s impossible. It seems like Caspian was taken in. He might not even know who his biological parents are,” Alfred said.
“There’s another possibility. He might have a very high position within the military. Even John Anderson, the high–ranking general of South Aridlands, attended his wedding.
“I suspect that his identity is not as simple as we think!” Cole continued.

He had also done a background check on Caspian before. This was all he could find out as well.
If Caspian was really the highest–ranking officer in the military, the Kane family must think. twice before offending him.
“Enough. Since we’re not clear about the entire situation, let’s not fear–monger and scare ourselves. We must not act rashly either,” Chandler said.
“Yes, sir!” Cole and Alfred nodded.
It was at this moment that a domestic helper of the Kane family suddenly ran over to them. and said, “Mr. Kane Senior, Wendell York, the head of the York family, is here to see you.”
“The York family?”
Chandler and the others looked at each other.
They had never had much interaction with the York family of Dhord City.
“Let him in first,” Chandler said as he waved his hand.
“Yes, sir!” the helper said and retreated.
The York family was one of the lesser–known elite families in Dhord City, and their status was in the lowest–ranking position.
Half a minute later, Wendell and Celestia walked in hastily.
“Greetings, Mr. Kane Senior. I’m Wendell of the York family,” Wendell greeted.
“Pleasure is mine. May I know the purpose of your visitation today?” Chandler asked.
“The York family has heard about the destruction of Galecrest by Caspian. This must have dealt a blow to the Kane family,” Wendell said as he raised his head.
Chandler’s expression immediately darkened.
Cole’s face was ashen white. Galecrest had become the bane of his life.
If Caspian had not shown up, he would still be thriving in Naporia. However, everything had been ruined by Caspian.
Wendell noticed that Cole was present as well. However, now that Cole had fallen from grace, he no longer had power or status.
Wendell did not even bother to pay much attention to Cole.
“The York family and Caspian are sworn enemies!” Wendell continued.
Chandler nodded. In fact, he knew about the conflict between Caspian and the York family. After all, the Kane family was an elite family in Dhord City. They had a reliable source of

“The damage Caspian has brought upon our family can never be erased. Not only did he kill our eternal grandmaster, but he also scarred my face with a knife. He disfigured me!” Celestia cried out as she knelt on the ground and unveiled her face.
The next moment, what everyone saw was a grotesque face.
Several of the people present were utterly horrified. How could Caspian so cruelly deform a young lady’s face that she no longer resembled a human?
A woman’s appearance was the most important thing to her.
“I’d like to ask for Mr. Kane Senior’s help. Please avenge us,” Celestia pleaded with tears in her
eyes.
Celestia was no longer the arrogant and domineering Ms. York that she was before.
She looked more like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.
A smile appeared on Chandler’s face as he said, “That’s enough. You may rise. Caspian’s too vicious. He must be killed!”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Kane Senior!” Celestia said. She felt like there was still hope.
With his head lowered, Wendell presented a gift box to Chandler and respectfully said, “Mr.
Kane Senior, this is a symbol of appreciation from the York family. I hope you’ll accept it.” When Chandler opened the box, his eyes lit up.
