Lord Chapter 641

Chapter 641 Accusations Against Caspian

After hearing what Macy said, Caspian swiftly let go.

“It was in the heat of the moment. I had no choice. Are you alright?” Caspian asked somewhat awkwardly.

“I’m fine. You just bumped into my chest a bit,” Macy replied.

“I’m glad. Stop trying to defend me from bullets next time!” Caspian instructed.

“You’re Lord Caspian. No harm must come to you. It’s my duty to shield you

from bullets,” Macy declared.

Caspian had mixed feelings. Macy had thrown herself in front of him to shield him from bullets many times now.

Was it truly just because she felt it was her responsibility to protect him? Did it not involve any personal feelings whatsoever?

“It’s not safe here, Lord Caspian. Hurry up and leave,” Macy urged.

“I’ll check on His Majesty. You guys stay here and stay safe,” Caspian said.

“Understood!” Macy answered with a nod.

Caspian entered the hotel, flanked by the armored soldiers.

The hotel guests were overwrought as they gathered in the lobby with fear etched on their faces.

Caspian got into the elevator and headed straight to the top floor.

Once he got out, he saw Balthazar, who was surrounded by his guards.

Some of the senior officials looked anxious and panicked as well.

When the crowd spotted Caspian, they immediately cleared a path for him.

“Are you alright, Your Majesty? You must’ve been startled. I deserve to be punished for what happened,” Caspian said to Balthazar.

“It’s nothing, Caspian. I’ve been through similar situations countless times now. You don’t need to feel responsible,” Balthazar calmly replied.

Jerry stepped forward, and with a hostile expression, he declared, “Your Majesty, we kept your visit to Southlake City a secret, and it had been you who chose Jade Dragon Grand Hotel. In that case, how did the enemy secret agents find out where you’re staying?”

“The enemy spies have been hiding in Southlake City all along. It’s not a surprise that they found out about it somehow,” Caspian said.

“You’re in charge of Southlake City, and you even stationed so many people near the hotel. Yet none of your subordinates realized that the enemy secret agents. would attack from the opposite building. Are they doing their jobs?” Jerry questioned.

“I have no explanation for that yet, but I will get to the bottom of this as soon as possible,” Caspian said.

“That’s enough. The danger hasn’t been eliminated yet, so don’t waste time on such unimportant matters,” Balthazar interrupted.

He knew Jerry wanted to use this incident to target Caspian.

Since Balthazar had spoken, Jerry stopped talking.

“Your Majesty, please remain in the hotel for the time being. I will return once I eliminate all the spies!” Caspian declared.

“You’re the head of the Five War Gods, Caspian. You need not handle such simple matters yourself. Let the generals take care of it,” Balthazar instructed.

Aware of the dangers lurking all around, Balthazar didn’t want to put Caspian at risk

“Please don’t worry about me, Your Majesty. I have survived numerous wars. These spies don’t scare me,” Caspian staunchly declared. “May I leave, Your Majesty?”

“Alright, then. I look forward to hearing the good news from you.” Balthazar relented.

Caspian nodded and left.

When he got down to the lobby, Macy approached him and asked puzzledly, “Are you leaving, Lord Caspian?”

“I can’t stand by and do nothing when His Majesty was attacked in the hotel! Jerry is already suspicious of me. He thinks I let the spies in. I have to get rid of all the enemy spies!” Caspian growled through gritted teeth.

“What a loathsome man! Your loyalty to His Majesty is clear for all to see, Lord Caspian! Why would you want to assassinate His Majesty? That’s ridiculous!” Macy cried out angrily.

“Jerry’s a treacherous man. It’s not his first time trying to cause trouble for me,”

“He has no evidence against you, Lord Caspian. Surely he can’t just level random accusations at you,” Macy said.

“He’s a petty, vicious man who won’t mind stooping to false accusations. I’m guessing he’ll use my position as His Majesty’s successor as my motive.” Caspian theorized.

“We can’t keep him around then!” Macy exclaimed.

“He has His Majesty’s favor right now, so it won’t be easy for us to get rid of him. We have to have concrete evidence to use against him first. Otherwise, His Majesty would grow suspicious if we acted rashly,” Caspian said.

“But he dared to make false accusations against you, Lord Caspian! If we don’t get rid of him, I’m sure he’ll continue to target you.” Macy was concerned.

“It’s a fact that there was an assassination attempt on His Majesty in my territory. I can’t absolve myself of responsibility.

“Didn’t I instruct you guys to eliminate all potential dangers? Why were there enemy spies hiding nearby?” Caspian questioned.

“We kept a close watch on everyone in the surrounding area and didn’t find anything suspicious. The enemy secret agents were already on standby before His Majesty got to the hotel,” Macy reported.

“His Majesty only decided to stay at the hotel after he landed at the airport. How did the news get leaked so quickly?” Caspian was puzzled.

“It seems possible that there’s a mole beside His Majesty. That could be how the news got out. Otherwise, how would the enemy know which room His Majesty was staying in?” Macy suggested.

Caspian nodded. Macy had a point.

Many high–ranking government officials had followed Balthazar to Southlake City. It was possible that there was a mole or two among them.

There was no other way to explain how Balthazar’s location was leaked so swiftly. The enemy spies were able to set themselves up for the assassination attempt in the time it took Balthazar to get from the airport to the hotel. That alone proved that there was a mole within Balthazar’s entourage.

“Who could it be?” Caspian pondered.

“I don’t know. I’m only in charge of the Phoenix Vanguard. Why don’t you get

“Alright. We’ll drop this for the time being. Our most important task right now is to eliminate all the enemy spies and ensure His Majesty’s safety,” Caspian said.

Got it!” Macy nodded.

All of a sudden, a heavy–duty truck came barreling toward them.

‘Stop! You’re not allowed to approach!” the guards yelled.

However, the truck didn’t stop.

“It’s the spies! Attack!” Macy shouted.

Macy and her subordinate swiftly started firing at the truck, but the bullets did no damage. The truck had clearly been modified.

It was charging straight at the hotel.

“Be careful, Lord Caspian! Something’s strange! There could be a bomb in the truck!” one of the Phoenix Vanguards shouted.

Caspian was alarmed. If the truck crashed into the hotel, the entire building might collapse.

Balthazar was still inside the hotel. If an explosion occurred, he would be in great danger.

As the truck continued to rush toward the hotel, Caspian and Macy remained in their spots, showing no intention to leave. Everyone else was stupefied!
