Chapter 319 Blinded by Hatred
Looking at Jackson’s retreating back, everyone came back to their senses.
“Dad! You’re freaking me out!” Celestia sank to the floor beside Wendell and cried hoarsely.” Dad! Don’t leave me alone! Don’t abandon me!”
Celestia’s cries were extremely pitiable, her helplessness palpable.
She had grown up under the protection of her father. Now that her protector had suddenly. fallen, she could not accept it at all. For her, this was no different from the collapse of the sky
above her head.
From now on, her life would be as unstable as a lone boat in the sea. No one would be there to
shield her from troubles and resolve her difficulties.
Caspian was touched by this scene at first, but he quickly abandoned this thought. Wendell deserved his death. He had done many dirty deeds, and many civilians had been the victims of
his crimes.
Faced with Wendell’s death, Charles froze on the spot.
Wendell York, the head of the York family from Dhord City, had died in Hoff Residence.
Even Charles was shocked by that development.
Wendell’s death was linked to Caspian, and Charles had done as many bad deeds as Wendell. He would probably be met with the same downfall as Wendell’s.
Charles gave Caspian a look, and he discovered that Caspian looked especially terrifying at this
moment.
He looked at the time, unable to help himself, and realized that it was exactly half past ten. It was exactly the time Caspian had mentioned.
Wendell’s death in front of everyone in Hoff Residence would harm the reputation of the Hoff family as well, but Charles dared not say anything. He would not dare to stop Caspian even if he were to kill Wendell with his bare hands. Caspian was too powerful.
It was not a good idea to antagonize Caspian now.
However, Jackson was the one who killed Wendell following Alton’s orders.
What was Caspian’s true identity? All the documents about him were encrypted, and even the governor made things easier for him. Could an ordinary man enjoy this treatment?
This was surely not a coincidence. At the same time, this meant that Caspian was not an
ordinary man.

Now, Charles was more curious. How much power did the people backing Caspian up possess? Caspian raised his glass and came over to Charles, smiling. “Thank you for the banquet, Mr. Hoff Senior. I’ve never attended one with such plentiful and scrumptious food before.”
Charles grimaced awkwardly. “I’m glad that you’re satisfied, Mr. Lynch. You can come here anytime you want to.”
“Hahaha! Ah, maybe not. With your old age, Mr. Hoff Senior, I fear that you won’t be able to handle it if I show up here more than a few times!” Caspian said sarcastically.
Charles chuckled upon hearing that. If Caspian really did torture him like this, he would not be able to handle it.
“The God of Gambling, it seems that I won this bet!” Caspian said after looking at the time.
“Yes, it’s you who won, Mr. Lynch. I’ve made lots of bets after being in New Bay for decades, and I have no complaints about losing this bet,” Charles said, giving Jean a look. “What are you standing there for, Jean? Give Mr. Lynch the money!”
“Sure thing, Dad!” Jean looked resigned.
Not only did Caspian eat and drink his fill in Hoff Residence, but he had also gotten a man killed here. However, the Hoff family dared not say anything about it. In addition, they had to take out money and give it to Caspian.
The Hoff family had never been treated this way, but they dared not antagonize Caspian now.
“Mr. Lynch, this is a check for 800 million dollars.” Jean took out a check and presented it to Caspian with both hands.
“Hahaha! This is mine! All the money I’ve lost is back!” Before Caspian could take it, Carl snatched the check from Jean’s hands.
This was his lifeline, after all.
At this moment, there was nothing but money on Carl’s mind. He did not care about who was dead or not; he just wanted his money back.
He could boast about it after returning to Stewart Residence.
800 million was almost what half of the Stewart family’s properties were worth. No one would look down on him again with this.
Looking at how emotional Carl was, Caspian shook his head. He could not say anything to
that, though.
Caspian turned to Charles and said, “If you don’t need us for anything, Mr. Hoff Senior, we’ll
take our leave now.”

“Sure. I won’t see you off.” Charles still had that ugly grimace on his face.
“If you ever want to have a chat with me, Mr. Hoff Senior, I can visit again,” Caspian said with a smile, looking at Charles.
Charles was so angry he almost laughed. He wanted nothing more than for Caspian to never come to New Bay again his whole life. He would be worried and panicked the entire day as long as Caspian was here.
Caspian looped his arm around Willow’s waist and prepared to leave Hoff Residence.
“Caspian Lynch!” Just as they were about to leave, someone else called his name, sounding enraged.
Caspian turned back to see Celestia glare at him angrily.
“Caspian Lynch, I’ll kill you with my own hands to avenge my father! Just wait!” Celestia spat out vengefully. She and Caspian had a deadly feud between them. At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to cut Caspian up into pieces.
She knew clearly that she was no match for Caspian, what with the power he possessed.
‘Really? I’ll wait for it, then!” Caspian said disdainfully before leaving Hoff Residence with
Willow.
Caspian did not even regard Wendell as an opponent, so why would he treat Celestia seriously when she was just a feeble lady?
The head of the York family was dead now. What could Celestia even do?
She said that she wanted to kill him by her own hands despite being so powerless. What a lofty
dream!
Looking at Caspian’s back as he walked away, the rage in Celestia’s heart grew.
Celestia bent down to look at Wendell’s corpse and whispered, “Dad, I’ll think of a way to kill Caspian and avenge you!”
After that, she bent over it and started to cry.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect things to get so out of hand. As Mr. York has died in Hoff Residence, I’m partially responsible as well. If you ever need any help, I’ll try my best to provide it to you,” Charles, who had walked over, said apologetically.
He had assumed that no one would dare lay a hand on Wendell when he was also present in the room, but then Deputy Gibson had directly barged in with a group of soldiers.
Even though he was quite a powerful figure in New Bay, he would not dare antagonize a subordinate of the governor. He would be courting his own death otherwise.

“No, thanks. The York family doesn’t need your insincere pity!” Celestia said after wiping her
tears.
She hoisted Wendell’s b*dy onto her back and got ready to leave Hoff Residence. Wendell’s corpse was heavy, and Celestia was only an ordinary woman who was not physically strong.
Even so, every step she took was firm, seemingly a representation of her determination to take revenge.
Looking at Celestia’s determined silhouette, Charles shook his head. He could sense that Celestia would experience a lot of growth after this.
Revenge would become the main plot line of her life. However, who knew if she would ever have the chance to take revenge on Caspian?
