Chapter 436 The Assassin Sent by the Morrisons
Shocked, Ginger stared at Jyn and exclaimed, “Ms. Morrison? Are you …”
+15 BONUS
Was Jyn trying to capitalize on the situation at a critical time like this?
With a resolute expression, Jyn declared, “Sooner or later, everyone in Diatoran will learn that the TMAA has suffered a devastating blow. Once the major powerhouses in Dhord City hear about this, they’ll surely find ways to seize the TMAA’s territory.
“Instead of letting someone else get their hands on it, why don’t we use this opportunity to expand Morrison Group instead? Plus, since the TMAA had the audacity to attack Caspian, I’m going to teach them a lesson!”
All along, the TMAA wielded a great deal of power in Dhord City, and no one dared to cross them. After all, their members were all martial arts experts.
However, things were going to be different now. Since the TMAA had been severely weakened by the fight, everyone would gang up on them to pick them apart.
Jyn had the advantage as she had caught wind of the news first, so she was determined to take action!
“Understood, Ms. Morrison!” Ginger replied.
“Also, we need to hold a product launch in two days. I want to beat Southlake Corporation within half a month,” Jyn added with a fierce gaze.
She was focusing all her attention on challenging Southlake Corporation.
Jyn wanted Willow to back down by proving to the latter that she was the best match for Caspian.
After dealing with the mess, Caspian headed back to Riverside Villa. The car pulled up at the entrance, and Caspian got out.
All of a sudden, he frowned and growled, “Who goes there? Why are you sneaking around?”
He had sensed a formidable presence lunging at him, and his expression hardened. The attacker was no ordinary person.
Without even a moment of hesitation, Caspian threw a punch.
A gust of wind stirred, and Caspian had to take a half–step backward. He was surprised that the other person managed to push him back.
Even though it was only half a step, it was enough to shock him.
+15 BONUS
Casplan had been in numerous battles and encountered countless powerful opponents, but no one ever managed to make him stumble backward.
This was a first!
Meanwhile, Caspian’s punch had sent the figure flying backward before crashing against a large tree trunk.
The tree trunk cracked from the force.
Upon checking, Caspian saw that his assailant was an elderly man in a robe.
The elder fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood before staring at Caspian in disbelief.
“You’re Caspian Lynch, the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law?” the elderly man asked in
shock.
“That’s right. Did the Morrisons send you?” Caspian questioned curtly.
“How did you know?” the man exclaimed. He was even more thunderstruck now.
Caspian had figured out his identity when all he did was ask a question!
The attacker was Anton Torrez, the man Tristan tasked to kill Caspian
After flying into Southlake City, Anton immediately began investigating Caspian. Once he found out where Caspian lived, he lay in wait nearby to ambush Caspi
Anton thought he had a foolproof. Alas, he underestimated Caspian’s vigilance and alertness.
Caspian had noticed his presence before he even made his move,
Due to that, Anton had no choice but to attack Caspian as quickly as possible, but he couldn’t even withstand a single punch from the latter.
Caspian’s punch had severely injured him.
Wasn’t Caspian supposed to be nothing more than the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in- law? While he had served as a soldier for a few years, he now wasted his days away doing nothing worthy of mention.
In Anton’s eyes, Caspian had to be a useless piece of trash. Why else would anyone willingly become a matrilocal son–in–law?
However, Anton now realized just how wrong he was.
Although Caspian was a matrilocal son–in–law, he was no slouch when it came to martial arts.
Few in Dhord City could’ve survived his punch unscathed, let alone Southlake City.
+15 BONUS
Anton wondered who Caspian truly was. Why was he willing to be the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law? What was he after?
All manner of questions surfaced in his mind. Though he had no answers to them, he knew that Caspian’s identity was not as simple as he had thought.
“You don’t need to know how I figured out who you are. Who sent you to kill me?” Caspian asked coolly.
Startled, Anton stammered, “That’s…”
Caspian cut him off and remarked with a chuckle, “Even if you don’t tell me, I know who it is. It must’ve been Tristan Morrison, the head of the Morrison family, right?”
Anton froze when he heard that. He didn’t know how to respond to Caspian.
Caspian was not only a powerful fighter but a sharp and insightful man to boot.
Anton hadn’t said much the whole time, but Caspian seemed to have known what was going on all along.
How could someone like him be an ordinary matrilocal son–in–law?
Meanwhile, Anton’s reaction confirmed Caspian’s deduction.
Jyn had gone over to the Stewart family estate to seize the Eldorian Scroll fragment, but she left empty–handed.
Naturally, that wouldn’t remain a secret. The Morrisons would undoubtedly fill Tristan in on what had happened that day at the Stewart family estate.
Jyn was the most talented businesswoman in the family, but she was infatuated with Caspian. As the head of the Morrison family, Tristan certainly wouldn’t tolerate such a situation. Based on Caspian’s understanding of Jyn, he knew she wouldn’t be giving up so easily.
He also knew that Tristan would definitely find a way to get rid of him for Jyn’s sake.
In the eyes of others, Caspian was just a nob*dy–nothing more than a matrilocal son–in–law. Naturally, he was far too lowly to be a good match for Jyn.
With a sigh, Anton said, “You’re no ordinary person, are you? Just who are you? Why are you willing to stick around a place like Southlake City?
“Considering your power, it would be easy enough for you to make something of yourself. I can’t defeat you. Feel free to do whatever you want to me.”
After just a single punch from Caspian, Anton knew full well he was no match against Caspian. He posed no threat to the latter at all.
+15 BONUS
Instead of wasting more time, he’d much rather save himself the agony and take the easy way
out.
Plus, he figured that Caspian might be too afraid to do anything to him due to his association with the Morrisons.
The Morrisons would surely go after Caspian if he died.
“Hah! Kill you? I’m not interested in doing that. However, it’s not because I fear the Morrisons. I’m merely sparing your life on Jyn’s account. Off you go now. Hopefully, you’ll be making wise choices from now on,” Caspian said before walking off.
Anton had mixed emotions as he watched Caspian leave.
It was hard to believe that Caspian possessed such strength at such a young age.
Fortunately for Anton, Caspian didn’t take his life.
Anton then left, shaking his head. He wanted to report the incident to Tristan right away.
Outside Dhord City was a mountain range that stretched across the heart of Diatoran. At night, the forest along the mountain range fell into complete darkness.
If one stumbled into the forest by accident, one would be stuck there for good with no chance of getting out.
It was rumored that numerous strange things had happened along the mountain range. Ordinary people dared not venture into this area, but at the moment, a figure was rushing through the forest.
It was Gilbert, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He had finally returned after fleeing from Southlake City.
He exhaled in relief, but soon, his brows knitted.
