Lord Chapter 248
The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 248 Willow Kidnapped
At first, Caspian thought Willow had simply drunk too much and gone to the restroom.
After waiting for over ten minutes, he couldnât see any sign of her, nor could he reach her phone.
He began to grow anxious.
He and Xandros had been standing outside the hall, and nob*dy had come out.
Suddenly, Caspian noticed some clues.
A few muddy footprints were on the ground.
These footprints extended toward the wall of the hall.
A sense of foreboding dawned upon him!
He immediately sobered up and called Sylvia.
âSylvia, Willow is missing. Send people to trace her immediately and report any findings to me at once!â
âYes!â
Sylvia didnât dare to wait for another second.
She mobilized all the resources she had in Southlake City to search for Willow.
Caspian followed the clues and slowly tracked it from the Stewart family manor. The footprints were fresh, which indicated the person hadnât gone far!
He found similar footprints outside of the manor and managed to trace them to a stream nearby. There was a path that seemed like a shortcut into the Stewart family manor.
It seemed the kidnapper had planned this.
And that person was skilled in martial arts.
Despite his search, Caspian lost track of the clues.
Just then, Sylvia called.
âCaspian! Iâve found some clues. The person who kidnapped Willow is likely The Reaper Sylvia spoke over the phone.
At her words, Caspian was filled with anger.
How could it be The Reaper?
Hadnât he run away from Southlake City and vanished from sight?
âCaspian, after Leonardo died, The Reaper joined the Mahayan Pavilion.

âHowever, now that Mahayan Pavilion has been destroyed, his revenge plan has failed.
âA few days ago, he secretly returned to Southlake City. He was also spotted at the Riverside Villaâ¦
âLord Caspian, this is my fault! I didnât discover The Reaperâs whereabouts in time, resulted in Willow getting kidnapped!â
Sylvia immediately changed her tone as she realized the severity of the situation.
which
She was responsible for Caspianâs safety, yet she didnât notice The Reaper was spying on him. Hence, this was her mistake.
However, Caspian wasnât as worried anymore upon hearing the news.
He knew that The Reaperâs target was definitely not Willowâit was him!
As long as she wasnât in mortal danger, he was fine.
âEnough. No need for further words. Find out where The Reaper is now! Itâs not entirely your fault!â Caspian said.
Caspian initially thought The Reaper was powerless. Hence, he didnât care that he had escaped back then.
Even after learning that The Reaper joined the Mahayan Pavilion, he hadnât been concerned as he didnât think that The Reaper could cause much trouble.
But now, Caspian realized that The Reaper was cunning and that he was planning and waiting patiently to get his revenge.
He even took the opportunity to kidnap Willow.
âLord Caspian, this is all my fault! Please, punish me!â Sylviaâs voice choked with emotion.
She knew how important Willow was to Caspian.
âItâs not time for punishments. First, we must find Willow,â Caspian instructed.
âUnderstood! Iâll immediately search for her whereabouts!â Sylvia replied.
Then, he hung up the phone. He couldnât sit and wait.
Just as he was preparing his next move,
move, his phone rang again.
âThe Reaper?â Caspian answered the unknown call directly.
A triumphant laugh came from the other end. âImpressive! You actually know itâs me!â
âCut to the chase. State your price and release Willow,â Caspian said calmly.
âEasy. Come to the Southlake Pavilion before dawn. But, you must come alone. If I see anyone else with you, Iâll throw her into the lake!â The Reaperâs voice was vicious.
âAlright, but I need to hear Willowâs voice now,â Caspian demanded.
âHubby! Iâm scared! When are you coming to save me?â Willowâs trembling voice camer through the phone.
She had been sleeping peacefully when she was taken away. She thought it was Caspian who had brought her back home.
When she woke up, she realized she had been kidnapped.
âWillow, donât worry. Iâm coming to rescue you now!â Caspian said firmly.
At this moment, Willowâs sobbing voice came through the phone.
Caspianâs heart ached. His beloved wife had been taken by that jerk, The Reaper!
âThe Reaper! I warn you, if you dare to harm Willow, Iâll tear you apart!â Caspian gritted his teeth.
âCaspian! Although Iâm not righteous, I wonât take advantage of someoneâs vulnerability. My target is you. Cut the nonsense. I want to see you before sunrise. Otherwise, consequences will follow!â The Reaperâs tone was indifferent.
With that, he hung up the phone.
Caspian immediately drove back to Southlake City and informed Sylvia about the news.
Sylvia and a team of men had been waiting outside the Riverside Villa for a while.
Later, Caspian stopped his car outside the villa.
âCaspian, Iâve assembled the team. We can head straight to Southlake Pavilion and rescue Willow!â Sylvia said urgently.
As soon as she learned that The Reaper had taken Willow to Southlake Pavilion, she quickly gathered a team.
âDonât act recklessly. Prepare a motorboat for me. Iâll go alone,â Caspian ordered.
âYes!â Sylvia nodded. She didnât dare disobey Caspianâs orders.
Then, the group arrived at the lakeside at the edge of Southlake City. On a small island in the center of the lake was the Southlake Pavilion.
Dozens of SUVs stopped by the lake and turned on their headlights, illuminating the center of the lake.
Caspian started the motorboat and dashed toward the island.
Several minutes later, he docked and approached the island.
The island wasnât large, and he spotted The Reaper standing not far away.
Meanwhile, Willow was sitting in a pavilion behind him.
Seeing Caspian, Willow was ecstatic. With a joyful expression, she rushed toward him.
The Reaper didnât stop her.
His eyes were fixed solely on Caspian.
His target was Caspian alone!
The reason he kidnapped Willow was to seek revenge against Caspian!
