Chapter 421 A Missing Corpse
John approached Caspian with a face full of apology. “Lord Caspian, I failed. The tenth elder of Shadow Gate escaped.”
“No worries. I’ll eventually eliminate Shadow Gate,” Caspian said indifferently with a smile.” You’ve all worked hard.”
“It’s all nothing to serve the God of War!” the members of the legion shouted in unison.
Caspian was their role model.
If anyone dared to lay a hand on him, they would spare no effort to protect him.
As for Gilbert’s escape, Caspian didn’t care at all.
Gilbert was already an innate grandmaster. So, it was normal that the legion members couldn’t capture him.
“General Anderson, long time no see,” greeted Sylvia.
John held a higher position than her, so she was polite.
“Sylvia, we’re jealous that you’re able to work closely with Lord Caspian.” John laughed.
Being by the God of War’s side every day was the dream of many.
“Caspian, your subordinates are very powerful. I’m happy for you.”
Jyn said as she walked over. Her gaze was soft and tender. Caspian knew she hadn’t given up.
“Aren’t you leaving yet?” he asked helplessly.
“I want to talk to you before leaving. I plan to open a branch in Southlake City. I wonder if you’ll support me or Willow?” She smiled at him.
Establishing a branch?
Caspian was stunned. Was Jyn planning to oppose Willow forever?
“Goodbye, Caspian. We’ll definitely meet often in the future,” Jyn said with reluctance as she turned away.
With that, she left with the Morrison family.
This time, she was determined to make Caspian come back to her.
Caspian felt his head aching as he watched Jyn’s gradually receding figure.
Willow was his wife, and Jyn was his childhood friend. If a conflict did happen between them, he would be stuck in between.

However, he decided not to dwell on it for now and would handle it as it came.
Soon, Casplan left the place with Sylvia and others. Since they had obtained the Eldorian Scroll. fragment, there was no reason to stay any longer.
After a long time, a figure suddenly climbed out of the pile of corpses in front of the ancient temb gate.
“Damn! That was close! I almost died! Luckily, I hid under a corpse!”
“Ouch! It hurts!”
Horace covered his abdomen in pain.
When John opened fire, he quickly played dead and hid behind a corpse.
Though he was hit by the bullets, they didn’t hit his vital areas.
“I need to leave quickly! This is too scary!” Horace gritted his teeth.
The attempt to seize the Eldorian Scroll fragment became a lifelong nightmare for him.
He didn’t gain anything but lost all five thousand members of the TMAA.
He was hurt too. He wondered what his punishment would be upon returning to the association.
Instead of going back and facing death, why not…
In a small forest not far from the Stewart family estate, Gilbert sat under a large tree and closed his eyes to rest.
After ten minutes or so, his injuries had somewhat recovered.
“Caspian, this all happened because of you. I swear I’ll kill you!” He gritted his teeth in hatred.
Gilbert came to the Stewart family estate with full confidence, thinking he would surely win. Unexpectedly, he suffered a humiliating defeat.
He quickly stood up and left the place.
Caspian ordered his legion to clean up the estate and the surrounding area.
He also made sure to block any news from spreading.
Night fell, and the Stewart family estate became silent.
The lights were still on in the lineage shrine.
Caspian and Xandros sat at a stone table and drank coffee.
“Mr. Stewart Senior, I’m going back to Southlake City tomorrow,” Caspian said, sipping the
FIS BORUS
With the necessary item now in hand, there was no purpose in staying any longer
Caspian needed to head home quickly as he wasn’t sure what scheme was Jyn up to
Go ahead” Xandros nodded.
He couldn’t force Casplan to stay as Casplan was young and had his own things to do.
“Mr. Stewart Senior, I have a question.” Caspian took out the Eldorian Scroll fragment. “Why is it empty? There’s not even a single word on it.”
If he hadn’t personally taken out the Eldorian Scroll fragment, he wouldn’t have believed it
Was real.
Xandros smiled faintly as he took a sip of coffee and said, “Did you forget the engraved emerald pendant 1 gave you?”
At his words, Caspian quickly retrieved the pendant.
Xandros had mentioned before that the pendant had a deep connection with the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
But Caspian wondered how to use it
“Mr. Stewart Senior, is this thing useful?” Caspian asked with some skepticism.
“Of course! Place the engraved emerald pendant on top of it!” Xandros replied.
Although Caspian was skeptical, he did as he was instructed.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed.
The emerald pendant seemed to transform into a roaring golden dragon and hovered over the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
Caspian was stunned.
He had never seen such a situation before.
The golden dragon entered the fragment, and the golden light dissipated.
The originally blank fragment was now covered in strange patterns.
These patterns were obscure and difficult to understand.
“Mr. Stewart Senior, what’s happening?” Caspian asked with curiosity.
“You may not know, but the engraved emerald pendant and the Eldorian Scroll fragment were originally together. However, the Stewart family’s ancestors separated these two things.

“As long as you obtain the treasure left by Eldorian, you can break through to the level of ultimate supreme grandmaster or even higher!” Xandros sighed and explained.
The ultimate supreme grandmaster?
Caspian was surprised. Many people had spent their entire lives trying to reach that level and
failed.
Eldorian was once a legend in the traditional martial arts sphere. He had reached a level that no one could reach.
However, he met a tragic end, and the location of his burial site remained unknown.
If Caspian could obtain the treasures left by Eldorian, he believed it would significantly enhance his strength..
“Caspian, I entrust the Eldorian Scroll fragment to your care. If you dare to act recklessly, won’t spare you even if I have to put my life at risk!” Xandros suddenly became serious.
“Mr. Stewart Senior, you can rest assured. I’ll surely handle it properly.” Caspian nodded. He knew this matter was of great importance.
Xandros nodded and concealed his aura again, returning to the appearance of an ordinary old
ΠΑΠ.
“This is my gift to you. Take it,”
Caspian put away the fragment and placed a check for 1.5 billion on the stone table.
Seizing the fragment had caused significant losses to the Stewart family estate. The money was intended as compensation for the villagers.
Caspian stood up and was ready to leave, but he remembered something.
“Mr. Stewart Senior, I almost forgot about this.”
