Back in Lilith’s house, Casplan was immersed in nostalgia. He’d spent all his childhood here in this little
house happily. Caspian was engulfed by sorrow and could not accept the sudden passing of Lilith, his f
oster mother.
Sylvia stayed by Caspian’s side. She could only accompany him because she did not know how to com
fort him.
The York family already knew that Caspian was just an ordinary soldier. However, they obtained news t
hat Caspian and Sylvia went to Quentin’s turf last night and killed many people. Since the Flying Drago
ns did not seem to react to that, the York family also dared not do anything recklessly.
At the same time, the York family also feared Sylvia’s position as a general officer. When they noticed S
ylvia was being very respectful toward Caspian, they were even more cautious about taking action.
They even wanted to wait for the Flying Dragons to make the first move. After all, the York family was n
ot in a rush since there
were still a few days to prepare. However, the Flying Dragons had Victor as their strategist, so they wo
uld not act directly.
Both factions had the same idea. No one wanted to make the first move.
Willow made dinner and ate with Zoey. After dinner, Zoey kept doing her own thing. Willow sat restlessl
y on the sofa alone.
At 9:30 pm, Willow said to Zoey, “Zoey, I need to go out.”
“What? It’s so late. Do you need to go out?” Zoey asked in confusion.
“It’s none of your business. I’ll come back later,” said Willow.
“Why don’t I go with you?” Zoey was worried. It was unsafe for Willow to go out alone.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. Just do your work,” said Willow.
“Sure. Come back soon. Be careful on the way,” said Zoey. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Willow put the briefcase full of cash into her car and drove the Rolls Royce to the outskirts of Southlake
City to meet the assassin.
Meanwhile, in Lilith’s house, Sylvia spoke.
“Lord Caspian, I got the news that the corps outside of Southlake City are prepared to move.”
“I’ve told you many times not to address me as Lord Caspian. Remember. Ask them not to act. reckless
ly and be on standby,” Caspian said.
“Yes, Caspian. Do you know who the leader of the corps is?” asked Sylvia
“Aren’t you the one who gathers all the Information? How would I know?” Caspian said.
“It is a group from the South Aridlands division led by the staff officer of the South Aridlands. war zone,
Julian Lawson,” Sylvia said in agitation.
“What? Why is Julian here in Southlake City instead of guarding the South Aridlands?” Caspian was sh
ocked and asked.
“The men from the South
Aridlands knew Madam Ziegler was killed. All of them wanted to avenge her! They were all the men yo
u led before. Each of them is strong enough to take on ten men!” Sylvia said.
“That’s too much. We don’t need them to be here for a small matter like this. Ask them to return to the
South Aridlands,” Caspian said helplessly.
Sending a group to Southlake City just to get rid of the York family and the Flying Dragons was overkill.
The firepower was enough to destroy the city.
“Caspian, since they are already here, let’s ask them to wait outside the city. Besides, they came here
because they’ve received an order from the higher–ups,” Sylvia said.
“Why would the higher–ups know about my foster mother’s death?” Caspian asked.
“Well… I told them,” Sylvia lowered her head and said in a soft voice.
“That’s overkill! Bringing a few men over is enough to take
care of the York family and the Flying Dragons. Why make a big fuss?” Caspian said.
“These are the higher–
ups‘ orders. They asked John to pick the men to stand outside of Southlake City. It also fulfilled the Sou
th Aridlands‘ soldiers‘ request to avenge you,” Sylvia said.
“South Aridlands is peaceful now. If they want to stay, just let them stay,” Caspian said.
“I also got some news. Ezekiel Parker, the head of the Inspector General’s Office of Southlake City lack
s integrity. He worked with the Flying Dragons in secret and also helped the York family cover their
tracks. Not only do we need to get rid of the York family and Flying Dragons, but also the Inspector Gen
eral’s Office as well,” said Sylvia.
“We must get rid of the head of the Inspector General’s Office. He must not harm Southlake City anymo
re!” Caspian said.
“Caspian, the troops have already gathered here. They are waiting for your orders to drive into Southla
ke City and wipe out the York family and Flying Dragons, so they can avenge Madam Ziegler!” Sylvia s

“Calm down. We will wait until they make the first move. According to our previous plan, we

“Is there any way to solve this?” Sylvia asked.
“Of course,” Caspian said with a nod.
“I’m willing to do anything as long as we can get rid of all of them,” Sylvia said.
“You must let everyone know that you were pretending to be a general officer,” Caspian said.
“What? But I am real. How can I make them think I’m a fake?” Sylvia was taken aback before asking Ca

“You have to. If you want to force them to take action, you must
remove their doubts. So, you must endure some injustice,” Caspian said.
“Fine, you’ve been hiding your identity as the Diatoranian God of War. I’m just a general officer so I don’
