Chapter 310 Cautious
“Wendell! What do you mean by that?” Charles‘ expression darkened.
“Since you don’t intend to help the York family, there’s nothing more to say.” Wendell smiled faintly.
Then, he left with Celestia and the others.
“Dad, aren’t we seeking the God of Gambling’s help? Why are we leaving?” Just after leaving the villa, Celestia asked in confusion.
They came to the Hoff family looking for help but received nothing at all.
By leaving now, did it mean that the York family had accepted their fate?
“Celestia, things aren’t that simple. Charles is a smart man. He should understand what I mean.” Wendell smiled confidently.
If Charles knew what Caspian had been up to lately, he definitely wouldn’t sit idly by.
As New Bay’s God of Gambling, Charles held substantial funds. The Hoff family must’ve engaged in many illegal activities. Hence, Caspian wouldn’t spare them.
So, even if Wendell didn’t seek Charles‘ help, Charles still needed to find a way to deal with Caspian. Otherwise, the fate of the Hoff family would be like Galecrest!
“Cole, we might’ve had some minor conflicts before, but we have a common enemy now. I hope you can join me in dealing with Caspian,” Wendell said to the silent Cole.
“I understand. I know my priorities!” Cole replied arrogantly.
Wendell didn’t bother with further words. As long as they could eliminate Caspian, it would be advantageous for them.
If they failed, they would face the Kane family’s punishment once they returned to Dhord City.
Cole wasn’t a fool. He would definitely stand with the York family right now.
At Hoff Manor, shouts could be heard.
“This Wendell truly thinks he’s unmatched. He’s just the head of a second–rate family in Dhord City, yet he dares to act unreasonably in your presence!” Jean exclaimed angrily.
The York family was merely a second–rate force in the capital, while the Hoff family had dominated New Bay for years. But Wendell dared to be disrespectful, which was simply intolerable.
However, Jean failed to notice that his father had been sitting in silence for a long time.
“Dad?” Jean called out.
“Find out everything about Caspian and report it to me,” Charles said sternly.
“Yes!” Jean nodded.
Charles had sensed Wendell’s hidden implication. He felt that Caspian’s identity wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
He was able to thrive in New Bay because of his cautious behavior.
Charles‘ gradual rise in New Bay was because of his cautiousness in ensuring his success without any unexpected incidents.
Hence, before dealing with Caspian, he needed to thoroughly investigate his background. Only then could he plan the next steps. Otherwise, he wouldn’t act rashly.
Half an hour later, Jean returned to the villa.
His emotions were a mix of many flavors.
Seeing his solemn expression, Charles frowned and snatched the folder.
After reviewing the information, his expression gradually darkened.
“Dad, what should we do?” Jean asked anxiously.
He hadn’t taken this matter seriously before. There had been no enemy they couldn’t handle in all these years. But after seeing the information about Caspian, he was deeply shaken.
Caspain’s methods were too ruthless.
He had eliminated numerous underground forces.
His background was even more perplexing. Initially an orphan, he served a few years in the military before becoming the Stewart family’s son–in–law.
His subsequent life was unbelievable.
Leonardo Xanthos of Southlake City, Wylie Jennings of Easton, Galecrest of Naporia, the Jennings family of Sealand…
All these local overlords were wiped out by Caspian.
Caspian’s origin was a mystery. Was it really as simple as him going for military service?
If that were the case, why were so many people afraid of him, and why was he so powerful?
“Are you sure you’ve investigated thoroughly? He was in the military for just a few years. Why is he so powerful?” Charles pondered, rubbing his chin.

“I used all my connections but could only find this much. There’s no information about what happened during Caspian’s military service.
“I even used my connections in the Inspector General’s office, but they couldn’t find his information.
“The most shocking thing is, Caspian’s files seem encrypted!” Jean said, utterly stunned.
He never expected Caspian’s identity to be encrypted. This meant that he had made significant contributions to the country.
Upon hearing this, Charles‘ face turned pale.
He had never encountered someone as powerful in all his years.
“Dad, what should we do? This Caspian seems really extraordinary,” Jean asked worriedly.
Charles understood Caspian’s prowess.
Things were about to change in New Bay.
While it would be easy for such a prominent figure to eliminate Wendell, the fact that Caspian hadn’t done so indicated he had other goals.
His target might very well be the Hoff family!
At this thought, Charles‘ heart trembled.
He suddenly remembered a shocking incident.
New Bau
Airport was on high alert today.
The governor, Alton, personally led over a thousand people to meet a mysterious big shot.
That person was highly likely to be Caspian!
Even if Charles was the God of Gambling, he wouldn’t easily provoke such a person.
But he wouldn’t give up either. It wasn’t his style to sit back and await his fate.
The reason Charles was able to take control of New Bay was because he wasn’t one to easily
admit defeat.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Jean. “Send an invitation to Caspian and invite him to
the manor for dinner.”
“What? But…
Jean was momentarily stunned as he didn’t understand his father’s intentions.
For someone of this stature, everyone else would want to keep their distance. What did inviting him to the Hoff family’s dinner mean?

“Don’t ask so many questions. I have my own plans. Just do as I say!” Charles glanced at Jean and instructed.
“Yes!” Jean nodded in response.
He wouldn’t dare defy his father’s wishes.
Charles remained sitting in the hall, his thoughts all over the place.
“Caspian, I don’t care who you are. New Bay is my territory. If you dare cause trouble in my
territory, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” he said fiercely.
At the same time, he emanated a murderous intent.
