Chapter 418 Selfish Backstabbers.
“I’ll give it to you if it’s what you want. But you’re nothing more than a puppet for the Morrison family. If I give you the Eldorian Scroll fragment, it’ll only end up in some other person’s hands,” answered Caspian.
Jyn could tell that Caspian wasn’t joking with her.
And what he said was true. She had no use for the Eldorian Scroll fragment even if he gave it to
her.
But most of all, Jyn was happy that Caspian would willingly give up something so precious to
her.
lyn finally smiled like a beautiful blooming flower.
She realized that she still held a spot in Caspian’s heart.
Caspian sighed and continued, “If you really want it, you can have it.”
Everyone was flabbergasted by the fact that Caspian was willing to give up the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
Caspian had, in fact, made many promises to Jyn back then.
He was a young man in love, and he wasn’t experienced enough to think of the consequences
of his actions.
Regardless, he had still hurt Jyn’s feelings.
He still owed her one.
“Caspian!”
“Mr. Lynch!”
Sylvia and the rest of Caspian’s men began to panic.
It would be a shame if Caspian were to let go of the Eldorian Scroll fragment just like that..
Noticing Jyn’s reluctance, Ginger called out to her. “Ms. Morrison, what’s wrong?”
Ginger didn’t know about what happened between Jyn and Caspian back then.
Her only thought was to retrieve the Eldorian Scroll fragment and return home to bountiful rewards
The Morrison family members were looking at lyn with anticipation, while Gilbert’s expression twisted with despair.

He had gone through so much just for a chance to acquire the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
And now, Caspian was about to give it up without a fight.
“I don’t want it! All I want is you!”
Jyn’s answer was beyond everyone’s wildest expectations.
She had actually chosen to not accept Caspian’s gift of the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
Jyn looked up at Caspian with affection.
She was willing to give up everything in her life just to be with him.
What could some scroll fragments compare to having him by her side?
Everyone was shocked beyond relief as they wondered if Jyn was serious about declining his
offer.
Sylvia laughed and commented, “That’s Caspian for ya! He’s too charming for his own good.”
She had also garnered affection for Caspian after working by his side for so many years.
But she knew that she wasn’t worthy enough to be with him.
Sylvia had always been jealous of Willow for being able to become his wife.
The Morrison family members‘ expressions turned sour as they wondered if Jyn had gone! insane to be throwing away such an opportunity.
They couldn’t just go back empty–handed without a proper excuse.
“Why are you so stubborn, Jyn? You should know that it’s impossible for anything to happen. between the two of us. Willow is my wife, and she’s also the one and only in my heart,” explained Caspian.
Caspian had wanted to give the Eldorian Scroll fragment to Jyn so that they would no longer owe each other anything. He could also feel better about his past with Jyn.
But Jyn had unexpectedly rejected his offer.
Jyn shook her head and replied, “I don’t care! So what if you’re married? I’ve already decided that you would be mine long ago! I don’t want the Eldorian Scroll fragment; I’d rather you still have me on your mind.”
She knew that accepting the Eldorian Scroll fragment now meant that she would not be seeing him ever again.
Caspian was in disbelief as he recalled the number of men who died just for a chance to obtain
this treasure.

It was a treasure that was worthless only to the one woman standing before him.
“f**k you all! If you’re not taking it, then don’t mind if I do!”
A voice suddenly rang out as someone swept past Caspian.
By the time Caspian could react, he realized that the Eldorian Scroll fragment was no longer in
his hands.
Fabian excitedly declared, “Hahaha! The Eldorian Scroll fragment is finally in my hands!”
He had concealed his presence while carefully observing Jyn and Caspian’s conversation for a chance to strike in order to snatch the scroll fragment away.
Caspian remained calm even after Fabian had snatched the Eldorian Scroll fragment away.
“Fabian! Give it to me, now!” shouted Gilbert
Fabian turned around and smiled at Gilbert. “Why should I give it to you?”
Only a fool would hand over the Eldorian scroll fragment after they had risked their life to
acquire it.
Gilbert was stunned. “What? What are you trying to do, Fabian?”
“The Eldorian Scroll fragment is mine! Once I learn its secrets, I’ll become the strongest!”
declared Fabian..
He would no longer have to obey Gilbert’s every whim once he became powerful.
He wasn’t so stupid as to give the treasure away to Gilbert.
“What are you trying to do, Fabian? Aren’t you going to be grateful to someone who taught you everything you know?” scolded Gilbert.
“Heh, you’ve just been treating me as cannon fodder the entire time. Now that the Eldorian Scroll fragment is mine, no one will be taking it away from me!” replied Fabian.
All he needed to do now was to escape. One day, he would return as a fighter more powerful than anyone else.
Gilbert clenched his teeth with anger. “You bastard!”
He never expected Fabian to have such ambitions.
Caspian applauded the show. “Wonderful! This is truly wonderful! I can’t believe just how selfish everyone in Shadow Gate is! Hahaha!”
“What can you do now, Caspian? Nothing! The Eldorian Scroll fragment is now mine!” replied
Fabian.

Fabian was about to escape from the tomb.
“Are you sure?” asked Caspian.
The next moment, a dagger was plunged into Fabian’s back
He turned around to find Charles literally backstabbing him. “You
Charles laughed at him. “Hahaha, you were too careless!”
Charles had also been patiently waiting for a chance to strike, and he managed to catch onto this fleeting opportunity.
Fabian still wanted to say something, but it was too late.
Charles stabbed him in the back a few more times.
Fabian’s wounds opened up, and blood flowed out of his b*dy without pause.
He began to lose consciousness as he succumbed to his wounds.
Fabian had endured countless humiliations ever since he was adopted by the Stewart family.
He had always wanted to make a name for himself, and he had finally managed to secure the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
However, everything disappeared in an instant.
Fabian collapsed onto the ground with a thud.
Charles continued to mock Fabian even after he died, “If only you had learned about loyalty…‘
Gilbert looked at Charles with a smile. “Well done. Now give me the goods.”
Charles obediently rushed toward Gilbert without a single moment of hesitation.
Gilbert received the Eldorian Scroll fragment and smiled. “You’ve done well, Charles. I’ll put in
a good word for you once we return to Shadow Gate HQ,”
“My only wish is for Mr. Burton to kill Caspian!” replied Charles.
Charles then turned to Caspian and shouted, “I’ll never forgive you for killing my family, Caspian! I’ll have my revenge!”
He would still be living a leisurely life if not for Caspian.
Charles believed that the leader of Shadow Gate would be able to kill Caspian easily.
He had been enduring great humiliation within Shadow Gate and continuing to live only to enact his revenge.
He couldn’t wait for Casplan to be defeated so that he could finally unleash his hatred on him.
