Chapter 339 Lincoln Was Scared Witless
The scarred man was momentarily stunned.
Even though Lincoln was not really active in Southlake City, he was still the richest man in the
Two Lakes area.
Many forces had been assigned under Lincoln’s control.
So, how could such a prominent figure just casually show up?
“Stop bluffing, punk! It doesn’t matter who comes. As long as you’ve offended the Massey family, you’re dead!” the scarred man coldly said as he looked at Caspian.
When Caspian heard this, he suddenly turned back. His eyes were filled with cold malice.
His eyes seemed like they could kill.
The look in his eyes was extremely terrifying.
When the scarred man saw Caspian’s menacing glare, he couldn’t help but tremble. His legs were starting to weaken as well.
At that moment, he even had the urge to kneel before Caspian.
What was this?
It was then that the roaring sound of a car was heard.
A ton
top–of–the–line Maybach pulled up in front of them.
As soon as the car came to a halt, a man stepped out of the car in a rushed manner.
This man was the richest man in the Two Lakes area–Lincoln Zott.
Those who were standing on the sidelines were dumbfounded. They were surprised. Wasn’t Lincoln a man of great importance?
How could he rush over after one call?
While everyone was still in a daze, they saw Lincoln rush to Caspian.
With a thud, Lincoln knelt before Caspian!
“Mr. Lynch, I didn’t know you had returned to Southlake City. Otherwise, I would’ve gone to the airport and welcomed you back. Please, punish me as you see fit!” Lincoln said with
respect.
His demeanor did not resemble the wealthiest man in the region. He was reduced to an inferior man in front of Caspian.

Everyone who was watching was even more shocked!
An influential man like Lincoln was actually kneeling before this young man?
Who was this person?
Caspian stared at Lincoln silently.
Lincoln felt even more nervous.
Cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead.
It was clear to him that something must have happened in Southlake City. Otherwise, Caspian would not have asked his subordinate to contact him.
He might have been the wealthiest man in the Two Lakes area, but Caspian was t
Diatoranian God of War!
His status as the wealthiest man meant nothing when compared to Caspian.
While Lincoln was still trembling with fear, Caspian pointed at the scarred man.

He said, “Lincoln, you said that you’d work for me and deal with the underground forces of Southlake City.
“But what we have here are a bunch of thugs beating a woman up. You have some explanations
to do.”
Lincoln’s heart sank.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
In the end, something had happened.

Back then, he had to rely on Caspian. He had even invested in a large amount of assets. Southlake Corporation in exchange for the stability they had today.
However, unlawful activities started to occur again in Southlake City.
No wonder Caspian was infuriated.
If this matter was handled poorly, he would have to leave Southlake City.
“Bernard, you bastard! How have you been managing this area?” Lincoln turned his head to yell at Bernard.
Then, he slapped Bernard hard on the face.
It was not possible for Lincoln to look over everything within the city as there were too many things to manage every day. He had delegated this area to Bernard.
It was clear that Bernard did not do his work well.

With a thump, Bernard fell to his knees.
Previously, he was severely punished after stirring up some trouble with Caspian. So, he no longer dared to provoke Caspian.
“Bernard, do you know this person?” Caspian asked while looking at Bernard.
“Mr. Lynch, I…” Bernard choked on his words. He was too frightened to even complete his
sentence.
He began recalling the previous time he had offended Caspian and got scared as a result. For a moment, he did not know how to answer.
“Useless bastard! Mr. Lynch is asking you a question! Answer him!” Lincoln became impatient upon seeing Bernard acting this way.
He gave Bernard a few more slaps across the face.
“I know him! I know him! This person is Diego Kramer. Everyone else calls him Mr. Kramer!” Bernard said as he held his palm to his sore cheek.
“Did you know that he has been acting up in this area?” Caspian asked.
“I…
“Bernard stammered, not knowing how to respond again.
“Bernard, you bastard! How dare you not give an explanation to Mr. Lynch? If you don’t answer him honestly, I will end you!” Lincoln shouted.
Bernard became immensely frightened when he saw that Lincoln was furious.
He said fearfully, “I knew about this, Mr. Lynch. But there was nothing I could do about it!
“Diego works for the Massey family. The Massey family and the Stewart family…” Bernard said as he stole a quick glance at Willow. Then, he remained silent, not daring to utter a word
more.
“Just say it. You can pretend I’m not here,” Willow said, frowning slightly.
Before, she was someone who was easily empathetic, causing her to be trampled over by
others.
If this matter was indeed related to the Massey family, she would still stand firmly on Caspian’s side.
“Diego’s a thug that the Massey family trained. The Massey family and the Stewart family are
in–laws.
“Now, the entire Southlake City knows that Ms. Stewart of the Stewart family is the CEO of Southlake Corporation. Nob*dy dares to mess with the Stewart family. I really have no choice! “Bernard said urgently.

Bernard was also rendered helpless. The Massey family had a close relationship with the Stewart family.
How would he dare to meddle with such matters? Even if he had ten lives, it would not suffice to make up for it if he were ever to offend Southlake Corporation.
After hearing his explanation, Caspian frowned. Bernard was not entirely to blame for this matter. Even though Willow had cut ties with the Stewart family, nob*dy outside their family knew about this.
To them, the daughter of the Stewart family was the CEO of Southlake Corporation. And for this reason, they had to be more respectful toward the Stewart family.
“I didn’t know Bernard would be such a coward, Mr. Lynch. It’s all my fault for not teaching him. I’m willing to be punished!” Lincoln said.
He was feeling uneasy because Caspian was staying quiet. He thought that Caspian was getting angry over this matter.
“Please spare me, Mr. Lynch. I really could not do anything about it,” Bernard pleaded bitterly.
He felt aggrieved.
Hem
He even wanted to just kill Diego then and there.
This bastard used his connection with the Massey family as a ticket to act recklessly in this area. He must have really thought that he was invincible.
If Caspian had been offended, everyone would suffer.
Bernard felt unjustly wronged. He felt like he had been accused of a crime he did not commit, but he could not do anything about it.
“Forget it. I can’t fully blame all of you. I just wanted to look into the situation. You may get up now,” Caspian said as he gestured for both of them to get up from the ground.
The two men exchanged looks.
Bernard let out a heavy sigh of relief and immediately got up.
“Nevertheless, you have to remember. If anything like this were to happen again in Southlake City, I will not show any leniency!” Caspian said coldly.
There was a reason Caspian had Lincoln and Bernard work for him. If he had to leave. Southlake City one day, the peace and order of the city could at least be maintained.
If the two could not even execute their task well, he might as well have Joey from the Inspector General’s office manage the city.
“Yes, sir! We understand, Mr. Lynch!” Lincoln and Bernard said in unison.

They did not dare to put the blame on anyone else.
“You may handle the rest of this matter. Remember to get to the bottom of it and investigate the causes!” Caspian said as he pointed at the stunned Diego.
