Chapter 334 Cole’s Failed Assassination
“How daring of you to come here and assassinate me? I thought you’d run away, Caspian taunted.
Even Caspian was taken aback by Cole’s intense energy.
Cole!”
Nonetheless, the fact that Cole was now an innate grandmaster meant nothing to Caspian.
He could not change the outcome even if he had an extraordinary dagger.
To Caspian, Cole was still someone unworthy. He was not a threat to Caspian at all.
“Caspian, we have some unfinished business. Go to hell!” Cole said impatiently.
Then, he clenched the Diatanium dagger tightly and aimed it at Caspian.
Caspian’s indifferent expression infuriated Cole.
He had to kill Caspian. In fact, he was already dead to him.
“Caspian!”
Sylvia had just regained her composure, but the scene unfolding before her made her heart. drop.
If anything were to happen to Caspian while she was with him, Diatoran would not forgive her.
“Lord Caspian, be careful!” Alton had also started panicking.
He wanted to protect Caspian as well, but he could feel that Cole’s power had gotten much stronger.
He would only die in vain if he rushed forward hastily.
After all, he was only an eternal grandmaster. He had no chance of winning against Cole.
Cole smirked as the Diatanium dagger got nearer to Caspian..
“The grudge between us ends here, Caspian! You should feel honored to die by my hands!” Cole roared.
The dagger in his hands was really close to Caspian.
A sound broke through the air.
It was as if the surrounding air had been pierced by the dagger.
Where could this dagger have come from that it was so powerful?
A look of surprise appeared on Caspian’s face. It seemed like Cole had come prepared!

“The Diatanium dagger?” Caspian murmured.
The dagger turned out to be the Diatanium dagger. It had an entire history behind its origin.
Rumor had it that it was used specifically for dismemberment because of its sharpness.
It was unexpected that this dagger still existed.
Cole had put in a lot of effort for this revenge.
With the dagger in his hand, Cole aimed directly at Caspian’s heart.
The dagger would definitely tear through Caspian’s heart. When that time came, he would surely die.
Right at that moment, Caspian suddenly laughed scornfully.
Suddenly, there was a flash.
A bloodied arm flew out.
What followed next was the most agonizing wailing anyone would ever hear.
Everyb*dy was stunned. When they came back to their senses, they realized that a knife had. appeared in Caspian’s hand.
The blade was soaked in blood.
There was a bloodied arm at Caspian’s feet. The arm was still holding onto a dagger.
“My arm! My arm!” Cole wailed as he covered his severed arm.
The excruciating pain almost made him pass out.
He had thought he would win the battle as he had become an innate grandmaster. He never thought he was still not worthy of being Caspian’s opponent.
After losing his arm, he had completely lost all the will to fight. His plan to assassinate Caspian came to naught.
Caspian put away the blade in his hand.
“I’ve already defeated you once, and you still think you can kill me? What a joke!” Caspian mocked and laughed at Cole, who was writhing miserably on the ground.
He could not be bothered about him anymore.
He looked at the ground and picked the Diatanium dagger up.
It was indeed a magical weapon. It was just unfortunate that such a weapon had fallen into the hands of a loser like Cole.

Caspian kept the Diatanium dagger.
“Arrest Cole!” Alton roared.
A few of the soldiers rushed out and apprehended Cole.
“Take him back for a thorough interrogation!” Alton said with a black look on his face.
Cole had almost injured Caspian.
If Caspian was killed in New Bay, Alton might have lost his life as well.
Alton wished he could just tear Cole into a million pieces for causing such a huge problem.
“Hold on!” Caspian said, holding his hand out.
“Lord Caspian, this person’s way too dangerous. We better
too dangerous. We better…” Alton yelled with a darkened
face.
“It’s fine. I need to ask him some questions,” Caspian interrupted.
He walked to Cole.
Cole had already lost a huge amount of blood then. His face was as pale as a ghost’s.
A look of disdain appeared on Cole’s face as he saw Caspian approaching him.
“I’m really curious, Cole. Where did you get the Diatanium dagger from?” Caspian asked Cole, smiling.
He did not see Cole using this dagger when they fought at Naporia before.
Cole gritted his teeth and kept mum.
When Caspian saw Cole remaining silent, he said, “Even if you don’t tell me, I know that it was the York family of Dhord City who gave this dagger to you, right?”
Caspian caught the change in Cole’s expression and knew his guess was correct.
“Tell me, who ordered you and Wendell to assassinate me?” Caspian asked again.
Cole could not answer this question.
In fact, he did not dare to answer. He was going to die either way, so he decided to just keep. his mouth shut.
“Did you become deaf, Cole? Did you not hear Lord Caspian asking you a question? Seeing as you’re daring to remain silent, you must have a death wish!” Alton got annoyed when he saw. Cole remain tight–lipped.
Alton finally shut his mouth when Caspian raised his hand.

“You think I know nothing, Cole? Was it the Kane family of Dhord City who’d sent the both of you here? I didn’t think you’d be attached to the Kane family!” Caspian grinned from ear to
ear.
Cole was stunned. His eyes widened. How did Caspian know?
Caspian laughed and said, “I must have gotten it right. So it is the Kane family of Dhord City.”
Previously, he had already asked Sylvia to look into where Cole went after escaping Naporia.
“Kill me or cut me up, just get on with it already, Caspian! Why are you still blabbering away?” Cole said through gritted teeth.
He was truly surprised that Caspian knew everything.
“Kill you? You don’t deserve to have me kill you. Someone else will deal with you!” Caspian
scoffed.
Caspian could not be bothered with a mere loser like Cole.
Cole was livid.
Caspian was being too harsh. He felt insulted.
He had never felt so humiliated before!

Chapter 335 The Definite End
“Take him away!” Caspian said dismissively.
Caspian suddenly felt bored. Cole was like an annoying bug. Thankfully, he had been dealt with.
“Take him away!” Alton said coldly.
A few of the armed soldiers took Cole with them.
“Caspian, you bastard! I’ll get you back! Even if I die, I’ll make sure to haunt you and take your life away!” Cole swore loudly.
Caspian scorned. Cole was about to die, and yet he was still spitting harsh words.
“I have failed to subdue him and let him alarm you. I’m ready to be punished!” Alton said anxiously.
Even though Cole had been apprehended, it was still his domain.
Having something like this happen in his territory meant he could not fully absolve himself from any blame or responsibility.
With a thump, Alton fell to his knees before Caspian.
“There’s no need for this. You may rise now. Your punishment shall be a two–month salary
deduction.
“Nevertheless, if I happen to receive any complaints about the safety of New Bay in the future, I will hold you accountable,” Caspian said to Alton in a casual tone.
The fact that Alton had failed to notice an outsider disguising himself as part of their security team spoke volumes about their reliability.
Caspian would not entrust important duties to them anymore as well.
The governor’s position would also become the pinnacle of his career progression. There would no longer be any further opportunities for him to climb the ladder.
If Caspian wanted to, he would have fired Alton from his position over this incident.
Nevertheless, his removal would bring about disarray to New Bay. Fortunately, there was not any harm caused by the incident. Caspian decided to just shrug it off.
“Rest assured, Lord Caspian. I’ll definitely preserve the harmony in New Bay!” Alton said
anxiously.
He was aggrieved. He did not expect this kind of accident to happen.
It was clear to him that he might have reached the end of his career.
