Chapter 304 An Important Figure is Here
“Now we wait for Caspian to take the bait!” Wendell sneered vindictively.
Wendell already had a perfect plan. He must defeat Caspian this time!
A camouflaged military plane slowly landed at New Bay International Airport.
Thousands of special forces soldiers lined up in a clearing in the airport, and even the
overnor of New Bay himself was present.
Seeing such a grand procession, many people were speculating about the identity of this important figure who had arrived in New Bay.
After the plane was steady, the cabin door was opened, and Caspian walked out holding Willow’s hand.
Caspian had planned to change his flight at the airport, but he would have to wait for some time after that. So, he promptly made use of a fighter jet in South Aridlands instead.
He also had Sylvia inform the governor of New Bay in advance.
Caspian was making such a grand appearance this time because he thought himself to be too low–key before. He had always hidden his identity, and that was why so many nasty pests had tried to give him trouble.
At the sight of Caspian and Willow leaving the plane, Alton Ford, the governor of New Bay, came over to welcome them.
“I’m Alton Ford. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lynch!” Alton said with deference.
He was the respected governor in New Bay, but he dared not flaunt his identity in front of Caspian. In other words, his status as governor was insignificant when faced with Caspian.
“You’re the governor, Mr. Ford? Thank you.” Caspian nodded indifferently.
“No, no, it’s my honor to serve you, Mr. Lynch. I booked the most luxurious hotel suite here. for you, so you can settle down there before everything,” Alton said with a big smile.
Caspian said nothing and got in an MPV after Alton.
Willow was still dumbfounded. They had already changed their flights, but Caspian thought they would have to wait for a bit too long, so he made a call and summoned a military jet.
Most shockingly, the governor of New Bay had come to welcome them himself after they touched down in the city. Not everyone got to enjoy this treatment.
Even if Caspian was a general officer, Alton was showing him a bit too much deference.

Was Caspian really just a general officer?
Willow was having all those doubts once again. She turned to look at Caspian, who was currently dozing off beside her.
She suddenly had the feeling that Caspian was way more than a general officer. Sylvia was a general officer too, but she listened to Caspian’s every command.
Willow was intelligent. She knew that Caspian would tell her everything one day, and she should not ask questions wilfully before that.
She knew that Caspian treated her very well and pampered her, and that alone was enough.
Regardless of whether Caspian was more than a general officer and whatever his background was, Willow did not want to ask more questions at this moment.
After expelling this messy tangle of thoughts from her mind, Willow lay on Caspian’s shoulder, wanting to get some rest as well.
Caspian’s eyes were closed, but he guessed at what was on Willow’s mind anyway. He had told her his true identity, but she had not believed him. If that was so, Caspian had no plans to tell her again. He would settle with being a general officer for now.
He would tell Willow everything one day anyway. She was his wife, after all.
New Bay Grand Hotel was the most luxurious hotel in the city. Right now, all the guests had been evacuated in advance, and all the staff were waiting in front of the door, eager to meet an important guest.
A procession of cars stopped outside the hotel, and the man who got out of the car was Alton Ford!
The sight of him stunned all the staff. This was the governor of New Bay, and someone as important as he rarely showed his face in public!
What happened next shocked them even more.
Alton jogged to an MPV and opened the door carefully. “Mr. Lynch, we’re already at the hotel.”
“Great!” Caspian got out of the car together with Willow.
The hotel staff gave each other bemused looks. Who were these two people who the governor of New Bay himself had opened the door for?
News of this would probably be spread around the city in no time and cause a huge stir.

Inside the luxury suite, Caspian sat on a very opulent couch. Willow had gone to the bedroom for a nap.
“Lord Caspian, are you here for New Bay for something?” Alton asked with deference.
When Alton learned that the Diatoranian God of War was about to visit New Bay, he was floored. The Diatoranian God of War was so powerful that a governor like him was insignificant in comparison.
Caspian’s sudden visit unsettled him. What had happened in New Bay for the God of War to visit here personally? He was anxious, curious, and filled with terror at the same time.
“I’m here for a personal matter. My father–in–law is being detained in New Bay!” Caspian said coolly.
Alton was stunned. His heart started beating wildly in trepidation.
The Diatoranian God of War had never seen defeat in battle, yet his father–in–law was kidnapped in New Bay!
Who could be so bold as to do that within the area under his jurisdiction?
Alton suddenly realized the severity of the situation. He started trembling all over.
With a thud, his legs turned to jelly, and he knelt in front of Caspian. He said with a shaky voice, “I have failed in my duty, Mr. Lynch!”
“Get up. I’m not here to place the blame on you,” Caspian said, raising his hand.
Only after noticing that Caspian had not flown into a rage did Alton feel slightly relieved.
“Who might be so bold as to do this to your father–in–law, Lord Caspian? I’ll ensure that they’re taught a lesson now!” Alton said after getting up, his heart filled with worry.
Alton wanted badly to uncover the culprits now. How dare they be so bold as to abduct the father–in–law of Lord Caspian? Did they want their demise to be served to them so badly?
“Calm down, Mr. Ford. You don’t need to do anything. They don’t really want to do anything to my father–in–law. Their goal is me, so I’ll resolve this matter by myself,” Caspian said with a nonchalant laugh.
“But…” Alton seemed to want to say something else.
“It’s fine. You’re not needed for this. If I ever am in need, I’ll have someone inform you, Caspian interrupted before Alton could finish his sentence.
“Yes, Lord!” Alton nodded and left the suite.
Next, Sylvia walked in, “Do you need me to investigate Alton Ford?”

“It’s fine. He knows of my identity. He’ll be dumb if he dares to antagonize me despite that. Right, I asked you to investigate what happened to my father–in–law, didn’t I? How did that go?” Caspian asked emotionlessly.
“You were right. There’s a ploy behind Mr. Stewart’s abduction. I got word that Mr. Stewart is currently locked up in Azuria Casino, which is owned by the Yorks of Dhord City.”
