The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 670 Important Information
Caspian was slightly annoyed. âAlright, fine. Bring her in.â
He was not in the mood to think about other matters.
But he couldnât reject Willow if she insisted on talking to him now.
Two minutes later, Willow was brought in by the guard.
She had to be scanned with a metal detector before being allowed inside, which took considerable time.
It was a necessary procedure, seeing that there were many big shots and important figures inside the memorial hill at this moment.
Willow approached Caspian and whispered, âHoney, I need to tell you something. in private.â
It wasnât convenient for the couple to speak right then and there with everyone around. Willow also didnât want to talk about Mirandaâs plight in front of Balthazar.
She didnât want Balthazar to think that Caspian could be distracted at such an important occasion, leaving a bad impression as a result.
Caspian explained, âWhat is it? Just tell me about it here. I still have matters to attend to.â
He couldnât just leave the venue when the rally was still ongoing.
âItâs something really urgent. I donât want to say it here with everyone around.â
Caspian noticed that she seemed anxious and walked to a nearby corner. âWhat is it? What happened?â
Willow explained, âMiranda and Tom got kidnapped!â
âWhat? Who kidnapped them?â
âI received a text from Miranda saying that she and Tom got captured by some people who wanted to gouge out their eyeballs.â
Caspian asked, âWhoâs trying to harm them? Where are they right now?â
âTheyâre both in Churron now, and thatâs everything I know. Miranda sent me SOS texts, hoping that you could come to their rescue.â
Caspian recognized Tomâs name from back when Miranda mentioned him.
Meanwhile, Miranda was an invaluable friend and ally to Willow as the vice president of the Southlake Corporation.
Since they needed his help now more than ever, Caspian wouldnât stand idly by. âDo you have an address? Where are they being held captive in Churron?â
Willow replied, âI donât know. Miranda didnât include an address in her text. I tried calling her back, but her phone was already shut off. Iâm worried that theyâre already in danger.â
âWe need some time to pinpoint Mirandaâs location. Iâll send my men stationed in Churron to rescue them.â
It was too late and too far for Caspian to rescue them himself. But luckily, he had some men stationed in Churron. They would be able to make it.
Meanwhile, outside of the memorial hill, Lainaâs phone started ringing.
It was a call from her subordinate, Aria.
Aria was stationed in Churron and had made the phone call to make a report.
Laina immediately retreated from the crowd before picking up the phone call. â Hello?â
Aria sounded extremely urgent. âCaptain Laina, I have a report for you!â
âWhat is it? Speak up!â
âIâve found the whereabouts of Lord Caspianâs biological mother!â
Lainaâs face lit up with joy from the great news.
Caspian had been calling Laina to speed up her search for the past few days.
Task Force Rose had finally returned with good news.
Laina asked, âWhere is Lord Caspianâs biological mother?â
Aria explained, âSheâs in Churron, but she seems to have encountered some trouble!â
âWhat is it?â
âShe offended one of the powerful families in the city and was just kidnapped by them!â
Given the urgency of the matter, Aria only explained the important details.
Aria calmed herself down and shared all of the information she had unearthed with Laina.
âLast night, Sherry and her daughter, Cecilia, were driving home from the farmerâs market when she bumped into a Maybach that belonged to Blake Jessop, the son of a real estate tycoon in Churron.
âBlake became furious and wanted Sherry to pay him compensation for the damages to his car. But Sherry couldnât afford it, to which Blake began to insult and humiliate her daughter instead.
âIn the heat of the moment, a man named Tom rushed over to the scene and beat up Blake and two of his men. As a result, one of Blakeâs eyes was blinded.
âThe Jessop family sent out people to seek revenge on Tom but were all defeated instead. Sherry and Cecilia joined up with Tom and a woman named Miranda. They then tried to escape from Churron.
âJessopsâ men eventually tracked them down, and a huge battle ensued.
âTom was shot, and all four of them were kidnapped, seemingly being brought to an abandoned factory north of the city.â
Aria reported all of her findings in one go.
Laina was surprised. âWhy did you only report such an important matter now?â Aria explained, âI had just finished my investigation right before I made this call.â
The shootings happening on the relatively remote road in Churron had attracted Ariaâs attention.
She quickly launched an investigation and had only just pieced the events that had occurred together.
The most shocking detail was finding out that one of the kidnapped women was Caspianâs biological mother.
Aria realized the gravity of the situation. She didnât dare to take matters into her own hands and decided to report it to Laina instead.
Laina asked, âWhy are they targeting Lord Caspianâs biological mother?â
Aria explained some more details, âAs far as I know, itâs because Blake wanted to gouge out all of their eyeballs. Then, heâll pick one of them to replace his own damaged eye.
â +15 BONOS
âBut of course, hospitals in the city would never perform such a surgery. Blakeâs father, Fergus, then decided to spend millions of dollars and hire a private surgeon to perform the surgery behind closed doors.â
Laina angrily shouted, âBastards! They dare harm Lord Caspianâs family?â
Aria replied, âThey probably have no idea who Sherry is.â
âNo matter what, the Jessop family is committing a crime! Just who are they? Why do they dare to do something so cruel?â
Aria explained, âFergus Jessop is the current head of the Jessop family. Heâs the real estate tycoon I mentioned earlier. Heâs also the richest man within Churron. But his wife, on the other hand, is even more powerful than him.â
Laina asked, âWhatâs the deal with his wife?â
âFergusâ wife is Lacey Andrews. Sheâs the daughter of a highâranking official named Jerry Andrews!â
