Chapter 74 A Well–Thought–Out Plan
“Mr. Johnson, Caspian dared to invade our territory with just one woman, which means they were well–prepared and had significant strength. I believe we need a well–thought–out plan,” Victor Lambert, the strategist of the Flying Dragons, said.
“Any suggestions, Mr. Lambert?” Garrett asked.
Victor, known for his strategic brilliance, had played a key role in helping the Flying Dragons eliminate all rival forces in Southlake City. With that, they became the top gang in the city.
Naturally, his standing in the gang was second only to Garrett. Many times, Garrett relied on
Victor’s counsel.
“From what I know, Caspian also went to the York Residence today and caused a scene at Mrs. York Senior’s Soth birthday celebration. He defeated all the York family’s experts and crippled Derek, their eldest son, before leaving.” Victor explained.
“What does that have to do with us?” Garrett inquired.
“Based on these two incidents, it’s evident that Caspian possesses significant power. His boldness implies he has someone backing him up,” Victor stated.
“While Caspian might be able to bring the York family to heel, our experts greatly outnumber theirs. We don’t have to fear him at all.” Garrett replied.
“Caspian alone may not pose a threat, but I’m worried about his potential connections,”
Victor said.
“Him? What kind of connections could a nob*dy like him have?” Garrett asked.
“True, but I heard that last month, he held a wedding ceremony, and even South Aridlands‘ senior military officer, John Anderson, attended it.”
Victor elaborated, “If we provoke Caspian, and John intervenes, it will be impossible for us to continue living in Southlake City,
“You’re right. What should we do, then?” Garrett asked.
“Caspian has disabled Derek, so now the Yorks are likely to come after him. Let’s first observe the situation, investigate Caspian’s background, and then make a plan,” Victor suggested.
“Okay, we’ll follow your plan. We won’t do anything for now,” Garrett responded.
Meanwhile, Quentin, who had been taken to the hospital, suddenly remembered something. His man, Wade Powell, had gone to confront Caspian earlier in the day and had not returned.

He instructed his men to call Wade, but his phone was off. None of the others who had gone with Wade could be reached either.
How could so many people go missing at the same time?
Instantly, Quentin realized that Wade and his men might already be dead.
At this realization, his face turned dark.
The fact that Caspian dared to bring people to Paradise Clubhouse made it appear likely that he had dealt with Wade and the others. It was also the only explanation that made sense.
At Riverside Villa, Willow noticed that Zoey seemed preoccupied and asked, “Zoey, what’s
Wrong? You seem a bit absent–minded.”
Zoey quickly made up a reason. “Do I? I’m just thinking about the plot for my novel.”
She had experienced too much in the evening by witnessing the bloodshed at Paradise Clubhouse. With those images haunting her, she had trouble focusing on anything.
“Did you not update your novel today?” Willow asked.
“Not yet. I was busy with something today.” Zoey’s mind was far from her writing at the
moment.
“So, are you planning to write tonight, or should we just go to sleep? I’m feeling tired now,”
Willow asked.
“I’ll write tomorrow. I’m feeling sleepy too,” Zoey replied. “But is there a room for me?”
“What do you say we sleep together tonight? We can have a heart–to–heart talk,” Willow
proposed.
“Is that okay? What about Caspian? He might not be happy about it.”
After all, Caspian and Willow were a married couple, and Zoey’s presence was already an intrusion into their private lives.
“It’s fine. He won’t mind. It’s just for a few days anyway. He’s not that petty,” Willow
reassured her.
“Okay, let’s sleep together, then.” Zoey agreed. After all, she didn’t want to sleep alone
tonight.
Meanwhile, Caspian was consumed by thoughts of avenging his foster mother’s death, so he was not in the mood to do anything with Willow.
He went to sleep in the room next to Willow’s..

The next morning, Willow went to work at Southlake Corporation, while Zoey remained at the villa, working on her novel.
Caspian felt it was quite weird with him and Zoey staying at the villa, so he asked Sylvia to drive him to his foster mother’s old home in the countryside.
He wanted to take a look and tidy up any remaining items.
Actually, the two families each gifted a luxury car during the wedding.
Willow had only driven the Bentley to work, so there was a Rolls–Royce Phantom at home. However, Caspian didn’t feel like driving, which was why he had Sylvia come to pick him up.
Upon returning to the countryside, he gazed melancholically at the empty house.
He then entered Lilith’s room and sorted through her belongings. In an iron chest, he found some medals that she had won during her Girl Scout days, along with a few yellowing
commendation certificates.
At that moment, Caspian couldn’t help but shed a few tears.
On the other hand, after Willow arrived at Southlake Corporation, the skilled hitman she had previously contacted got in touch with her.
He informed her that he had now arrived in Southlake City and asked her to prepare 300 thousand dollars in cash. They were to meet at a location in the suburbs of Southlake City at 10:
00 pm.
As long as the money was in place, the hitman would take care of Derek and Quentin.
For Willow, a price of 150 thousand for each of them was affordable.
She had carefully reviewed the hitman’s profile and knew that he was highly skilled, efficient, and left no traces, so she had no doubts about his abilities.
After thinking it over, she decided to take a chance and spend the money to have the hitman eliminate Derek and Quentin, seeking revenge for Lilith.
Willow believed that her actions would help alleviate some of her guilt. After all, it was her mother who had driven Lilith away that night, leading to the subsequent events.
If Caspian were to find out that Lilith had been kicked out by her mother, he would surely be
furious.
By evening, Willow went to the bank to withdraw 300 thousand dollars in cash and placed them in a secure lockbox.
She then returned to the villa. Upon arrival, she only found Zoey at home and couldn’t find Caspian. “Zoey, do you know where Caspian went?” she asked.

‘to. He lett kong ago,” Zoey replied absentmindedly, fully engrossed in her work.

goo busy. Willow didn’t say much and prepared some food for herself.
74 was actually perfect that Caspiary wasn’t at home because otherwise, she would have had to casso up with an excuse to meet the hitman late at night.
