Chapter 417 Do You Want It
Horace appeared before Nixon and helped him up. “Head elder! Are you alright?”
Nixon felt unprecedented warmth in his life as Horace held onto him.
He had always treated Horace as someone disposable. But now, Horace was his only salvation.
Nixon clenched his teeth and replied, “I’m fine. We need to retreat, or we’re all going to die here!”
An ambiguous expression swept across Horace’s face.
He realized that the decision to retreat was because Nixon was seriously injured.
A sly grin crept up on Horace’s face, and it gradually turned into a wicked smile.
The next moment, a dagger was stabbed into Nixon’s abdomen.
Nixon spat out another large mouthful of blood. “Horace! You
He looked at Horace in disbelief. He never expected Horace to backstab him at a time like this.
Nixon clenched his teeth and asked, “Why are you doing this?”
He couldn’t understand why Horace would want to kill his own ally.
Horace laughed and whispered, “Heh, you had it a long time coming for treating me like shit. when I’m also a senior of the TMAA like you!”
He had been waiting for a chance to enact his revenge for a long time.
Now that he had finally done it, he was elated as he watched Nixon dying in his arms.
He had fantasized about this exact moment for a very long time.
Nixon cursed at him once more, “Horace… You’re only who you are today because I brought you back to the TMAA. The chairman will definitely kill you for backstabbing me!”
He could only blame himself for not realizing Horace’s intentions sooner.
It was too late for Nixon to even fight back.
Horace laughed and replied, “The chairman won’t know what happened here. Everyone will just assume that you died fighting Caspian. You can rest assured that I’ll bring our men out of here as you intended!”
He then grabbed his dagger and twisted it across Nixon’s b*dy, slicing all of his internal organs into a gory mess.
Nixon continued to spit out blood as his consciousness started to fade.

“Horace, you bastard… I’ll be haunting you for the rest of your life!”
Nixon finished his last words and finally collapsed onto the ground.
Horace let out a sigh of relief after confirming that Nixon had indeed passed away.
He would not be able to get away with this if Nixon somehow survived.
“The head elder has died! Caspian killed him! We need to retreat!” shouted Horace as he pretended to be distraught over the situation.
“What? The head elder is killed?”
The people of the TMAA were all shocked by the sudden news.
Nixon Xenos, the head elder of the TMAA, was dead.
Even Caspian was surprised by the announcement..
He had indeed struck Nixon with a powerful blow, but he could tell that Nixon wouldn’t have died from his one attack.
Caspian took a closer look at Nixon’s corpse and found a dagger embedded within the b*dy
He quickly realized that Nixon had perished in the hands of Horace
Horace was truly evil to be backstabbing his own allies.
And the worst thing that came out of this mess was that Caspian was labeled as the killer.
He couldn’t care less about it as he never planned to let anyone get out of here alive.
“The head elder is dead! We gotta retreat!”
“We’re all gonna die if we don’t make a run for it now!”
“Retreat!”
The people of the TMAA instantly lost their will to fight after hearing about Nixon’s death.
They realized that if even the head elder himself had perished, they would not fare any better if they stayed.
The next moment, the people of the TMAA began to scatter and flee.
“Do you really think you can get away? Attention, armored battalion! Kill them all!” shouted Sylvia.
The armored soldiers responded in unison, “Kill them all!”
The people of the TMAA were slaughtered as they didn’t even put up a fight.

Gilbert was also left dumbfounded as he watched the scene unfold.
He couldn’t believe that Nixon died just like that.
He began to wonder if he should also retreat.
Now that the Eldorian Scroll fragment had appeared right in front of him, retreating was a truly depressing option.
Suddenly, dozens of sillionettes appeared within the tomb.
They were all men working for the Morrison family.
Everyone was also surprised as they saw some of the Morrisons appear before them.
The Morrisons had also arrived to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment, and they were also an enemy to Caspian.
And, of course, the enemy of an enemy was a friend!
Caspian narrowed his eyes with intrigue as the Morrisons had finally shown themselves.
He hadn’t yet forgotten about lyn.
He knew her well enough to know that she had an unusual approach to conflicts ever since their days working together in the military.
If Jyn were a male heir to the Morrison family, she would have surely been the patriarch by
Gilbert was delighted to find Jyn appearing within the tomb.
He had to join forces with another party in order to snatch the Eldorian Scroll fragment away from Caspian.
The Morrison family was a powerful force that he could very well use as an ally.
Requesting to form an alliance with them right now would be the best option.
“Ms. Morrison, how about working together now that the Eldorian Scroll fragment is in Caspian’s hands?” shouted Gilbert.
Jyn remained expressionless as she seemed to completely ignore Gilbert’s question.
She wasn’t convinced by the request of an alliance as she knew that Gilbert and his men combined couldn’t even compare to a tenth of Caspian.
They were never even considered a worthy opponent for Caspian.
Meanwhile, Ginger was feeling anxious as she realized that the Eldorian Scroll fragment was right there in Caspian’s hands.

Her mission, along with the rest of the Morrison family, was to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment through any means necessary.
“Ms. Morrison, why don’t we team up with Shadow Gate to deal with Caspian?” asked Ginger.
Jyn glanced at Ginger and replied, “Shut up! Who said you could speak?”
Ginger’s expression twisted with anger and disbelief as she was once again reprimanded by Jyn because of Caspian.
But all she could do was to listen and obey Jyn.
Noticing lyn’s reluctance, Gilbert shouted, “Ms. Morrison, what are you hesitating for? If we wait any longer, Caspian might get away with the scrolls!”
Jyn threw a disdainful glance at Gilbert and replied, “Shadow Gate isn’t worthy enough to team up with us!”
The Morrison family was the most powerful family within Dhord City, while Shadow Gate was just some random organized group of hooligans. Cooperation between the two would only serve to lower the Morrison family’s reputation.
Gilbert’s expression immediately sank. “What do you mean by that?”
He didn’t expect Jyn to be so disrespectful.
An even bigger surprise was that Jyn approached Caspian casually as she stared at him while ignoring everyone’s gaze.
Everyone was confused as they watched Jyn steadily approach Caspian one step at a time.
No one knew what she was trying to do.
Jyn soon arrived right in front of Caspian.
The two of them
two of them stared at each other and remained silent.
One minute later, Caspian pulled out the Eldorian Scroll fragment from his pockets and asked, “Are you trying to take this from me as well?”
“will you give it to me if I say I want it?” asked lyn.
She was looking forward to hearing what Caspian had to say.
Jyn was actually just hoping that Caspian still had feelings for her.
When they were both still teammates in the military, they were often referred to as the golden couple.
