At that, Alton groaned. That bastard, Cole, had ruined his career.
He could have chosen to assassinate Caspian anywhere else, but he decided to do it at a heavily guarded airport. This was clearly an attempt to embarrass him.
Nonetheless, Alton was lucky that Caspian decided not to get to the bottom of this incident.
Alton was already really lucky to have been able to keep his governor’s position from the start.
He took a few steps backward and stood there silently.
Caspian glanced at Alton and thought that someone like him was unreliable.
“Lord Caspian, I couldn’t protect you because of my incompetence! Please punish me as you see fit!” Sylvia said remorsefully.
“It’s fine. You’re not entirely to blame. Everything happened too suddenly. You have responded well.
“Cole had become an innate grandmaster, and he even had the Diatanium dagger. It’s not a surprise that you couldn’t handle him,” Caspian said to Sylvia.
Sylvia had been working tirelessly alongside Caspian for many years. He would not punish her over one mistake.
Considering how everything had happened so suddenly, she had already done her best.
It was normal that she would feel threatened by Cole’s malicious energy and dodge on instinct..
Even so, this meant that Sylvia needed to improve on her strength.
“Thank you, Lord Caspian!”
Sylvia was touched.
She felt that Caspian was really considerate as well. This was why she had remained loyal to Capsian for so long.
When Alton saw the way Caspian treated Sylvia, he was envious.
However, he knew very well that Sylvia was Caspian’s right–hand woman.
Caspian would not punish her as long as she did not commit any huge mistake.
After everything had been settled, Caspian boarded the plane.
With a roar of the engine, the plane departed from New Bay Airport.
Alton was momentarily stunned as he watched the plane disappear into the sky.
Caspian’s departure left Alton feeling complicated. He no longer dared to act however he
wished.

He knew very well that Caspian must have planted his men in New Bay to keep an eye on him.
He needed to be vigilant. Otherwise, he might just lose his governor’s position.
“Governor!” Deputy Gibson shouted when he saw Alton getting lost in his thoughts.
When Alton finally came back to his senses, his expression became serious.
“Let’s go!” he said.
Then, he left the airport with his men.
Caspian could have put in a few good words for him before the King. But because of that bastard, Cole, he even almost lost his job.
He needed to punish Cole severely.
Somewhere outside the airport, Celestia was watching the plane from the observation deck of a skyscraper with a telescope.
She had a sinister look on her face.
She never expected that Cole would be so useless. He already got the Diatanium dagger, yet he still could not defeat Caspian.
It seemed like the York family’s vengeance was hers to seek.
Unfortunately, she no longer had a home to return to.
Now, the York family only existed in name. Even if she went back, it would be meaningless.
Besides, she could not return. Chandler would make her life a living hell.
Having given it some thought, she had decided to remain incognito and find an opportunity to attack Caspian.
Celestia put on her veil, turned around, and left. Her journey of vengeance had officially begun.
On the next day, a public trial was held for Jean and Cole.
Because the Hoff family had committed many crimes, Jean was sentenced to life in prison.
He would be spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Cole was handed over to the Inspector General’s Office of Naporia. Similarly, he was given a
sentence as well.
He had carried out many illegal activities in Naporia as the master of Galecrest.
He had committed too many heinous crimes and was, therefore, given a death sentence.

There was no delay at all. Their punishments were executed on the same day the sentences were given.
A shot was fired.
Cole, who was once a supreme leader, had tragically died!
The news had made its rounds to Kane Residence in Dhord City.
“Mr. Kane Senior, I’ve got the latest news from New Bay! Wendell and the rest have suffered a disastrous defeat!
“Wendell was shot to death by Governor Alton. Cole was arrested and had also been executed by the firing squad!
“It’s not clear whether Celestia is dead or alive. The entire Hoff family of New Bay has also been obliterated. Their underground forces have been wiped out,” Chandler’s subordinate reported.

When Chandler heard news, his entire b*dy trembled.
He was in disbelief.
Wendell, Cole, and the Hoff family of New Bay had all joined forces but were still unable to kill Caspian!
And to top it off, they suffered such a pathetic defeat!
Alfred was completely taken aback to hear the news. He had insulted Caspian when he was at Naporia back then.
It was only then that he realized just how powerful Caspian was.
Furthermore, after some investigating, everyone who had challenged Caspian faced a horrible. fate each one worse than the last!
Alfred felt extremely
uneas
“A bunch of useless idiots! How could they fail to kill Caspian even after putting in so much effort?” Chandler was livid. He’slammed his hand so hard on the wooden table before him that
it broke into two.
“Mr. Kane Senior, anger will harm your health. What’s our plan after this? Caspian will surely come after the Kane family, won’t he?” Alfred asked worriedly.
Wendell and the rest had been tragically.defeated. The extent of Caspian’s power was unfathomable.
It was too difficult for them to destroy Caspian.
Moreover, Caspian might come after the Kane family.
Chandler turned to look at Alfred with his bloodshot eyes full of unquenchable fury!
