Chapter 369 Hiring Mercenaries
However, there was no sound of a gunshot–Kevin had used up all the bullets in the gun on Saul.
“Mr. Lynch…”
Kevin was stunned. He turned his gaze to Caspian.
Jessica thought she was surely going to end up dead, but she survived. She had pissed herself, though.
“Caspian, please! Spare me! I can do anything you want!” Jessica kept on begging Caspian. She had just been at Death’s door, and now she knew how terrifying death could be.
She finally understood how scary it could be to look Death in the face!
“It seems that you’re destined not to die. You’ll have to be locked up in prison for the rest of your life, though.
“Head to the Inspector General’s office and tell them everything about what your family has done. If you don’t… You know what will happen,” Caspian said, staring intently at Jessica.
Jessica collapsed to the floor upon hearing that. She would survive this, but she would have to lead a more difficult life afterward.
However, she would be dead if she did not turn herself in.
“Get out of here!” Caspian said indifferently.
“Sure, sure! I’ll get out of here now!” Jessica wanted nothing more than to escape this place as soon as possible.
Caspian looked calm as Jessica ran away in fear and panic. The Massey family was done for now. Lionel Massey was the only one remaining.
“Do you really think you’ll escape this just by not showing up, old fox?” Caspian narrowed his
eyes.
As the Masseys had committed so many crimes and broken so many laws, they had to pay the price.
“Should we really let Jessica go, Mr. Lynch?” Kevin asked in terror. Jessica’s survival meant that he would be in danger.
“This is not your concern, Now, we should discuss how to deal with you!” Caspian said.
Upon hearing that, Keyin immediately fell to his knees in front of Caspian.

‘Seeing as I’ve done what you asked of me, Mr. Lynch, please spare me,” Kevin said, his voice shaking.
“Don’t worry. You’ve done what I say, so I won’t go back on my promise either. You’re not leaving this unscathed, though. You’ll still have to go to prison.
“Turn yourself in later, and also take out some of the Copeland family’s wealth and distribute it to the people who have lost their homes and family members because of you. Do you agree to do this?” Caspian looked at Kevin intently.
“Yes, Mr. Lynch!” Kevin nodded.
He would never dare say otherwise!
“Get out of here, then.” Caspian waved.
“Got it, Mr. Lynch!” Kevin left immediately.
He had survived, but he would probably have to deal with matters much more difficult later.
He had killed his father–in–law, after all. If anyone else were to hear about it, he would become a homicidal maniac who had killed a member of his family in their eyes. Besides, he would no longer be able to stay in Southlake City!
Caspian watched Kevin’s retreating back. He was sure that Kevin would make the right choice. “What’s our next step, Mr. Lynch?” Lincoln asked in deference.
“Clean this place first before spreading the word about how the Massey family was punished. Also, deal with the Massey family and take over all their businesses,” Caspian ordered.
He was also responsible for the Masseys‘ sudden rise and for the crimes they had committed in Southlake City.
Something like this should never happen a second time.
The next day, some exciting news came from Southlake City about how the Masseys had gotten their due punishment.
The people at the Inspector General’s office were confused. They had not started their operation yet, so why had the Masseys gotten their punishment already?
However, Joey had already sent them a message telling them not to concern themselves with this—the higher–ups had already given her an order.
The news shocked all the civilians living in Southlake City. The Masseys had established their presence after the York family and Flying Dragons had been wiped out. Thankfully, they were a lost cause now.
The peace in Southlake City was restored.

In a room at the Southlake Elderly Home, the atmosphere was grim. Lionel had never imagined that his son would end up being murdered by his grandson–in–law.
As he watched Jessica cry, he could even picture how Saul had looked when he was faced with a horrible death.
The Masseys were really done for now.
“Ah! That bastard!” Lionel exploded. He could no longer tamp down the fury in his heart as he swore viciously, “Kevin, that bastard! I will peel his skin off!”
Even the pathetic Kevin dared to betray the Masseys. They would be humiliating themselves if they did not kill him!
“Grandpa, Kevin is just a good–for–nothing. Our real enemy is Caspian! He played dirty!” Jessica said viciously, her eyes alight with fury.
Caspian was not the useless matrilocal son–in–law he appeared to be. His tactics and tricks were beyond what the average person was capable of.
“If your father’s dead, why did you manage to escape?” Lionel asked.
If Saul had gotten himself killed, how did Jessica survive when she was just a weak woman? Had Jessica also betrayed the family?
“Why are you looking at me like that, Grandpa? Do you suspect me, too? I’d never do anything harmful to the family!” Jessica looked at Lionel in terror.
She suddenly found the world to be a scary place. Suspicion and doubt would still exist even between the people closest to each other.
“In this era of materialism, anything can happen. So, I remain suspicious unless you give me a reason not to.” Lionel sneered.
Jessica was dumbfounded. Helpless against that, she could only tell Lionel everything that had happened.
“Do you want to thoroughly uproot the Massey family, Caspian Lynch?” Lionel bit out.
Caspian’s way of doing things was vile. He had done everything to bring upon the Massey family’s total collapse.
The Masseys had suffered heavy losses. With this, it was unknown if they could maintain their footing in Southlake City.
“Jessica, withdraw all our wealth and hire mercenaries with the money. We must take revenge!
+15 BONUS
They would never hand out their wealth, so they might as well put their all into their attempt to fight back!
“Grandpa, I want to kill that bastard Kevin with my own hands!” Jessica roared.
She hated Kevin to the bone. How dared he betray the Masseys? She wanted nothing more than to cut him up into pieces–only this would make her feel better!
Lionel nodded. “I’ll leave him to you, then. Hire some mercenaries willing to put their lives on the line, and we’ll first wipe out the Copeland family to avenge your father.”
“Got it, Grandpa!” Jessica answered seriously.
Her
eyes were bright with fury. She needed to make Kevin pay for his actions!
After Jessica left, Lionel suddenly fell to his knees. “Only you can help me now, Mr. Kane!”
