The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 697 Tomâs Secret
âI think his nameâs Tom Forrest. Iâm not sure where heâs escaped to,â Kelvin said. âTom Forrest? The name sounds familiar.â Je rry was momentarily stunned. He was rubbing his chin when he exclaimed, âI remember it now! I received a call from Lacey today, and she seemed to have mentioned Tom Forrest!â
âWhat? How would she know Tom?â Kelvin asked, surprised.
âShe said that Tom was the one who made your nephew blind.â Jer ry remembered everything.
He told his two sons the details of the incident.
âI guess itâs true. Tom is the son of Kael Forrest, the Kael Forrest of Greenton from West City!â Kelvin nodded and said.
âThatâs right. Laceyâs death has a lot to do with Tom!â J erry said menacingly. âF uck! We let him get away! Tom must die!â Zane looked grim.
âI understand that the two of you want revenge. However, you must keep it a secret. You canât let anyone know about our recruitment of the expert martial artists,â Jerr y said.
âDonât worry. Iâll definitely send a few experts to obliterate Tom silently! Oh right. Dad, do you know where Tomâs at?â Kelvin asked.
âI heard that Tom was severely injured and that Caspian brought him back to a hospital in Southlake City,â Je rry responded.
âThere must be quite a lot of soldiers near the hospital. You two must be cautious. when carrying out your tasks.â
âDonât worry. We have a lot of experts in Skyarch Palace. Itâll be a piece of cake to get rid of Tom!â Kelvin said smugly.
In recent years, the Andrews family had continuously recruited expert martial artists and established an organization called Skyarch Palace.
âItâs better for you to exercise prudence. Didnât you two say that Kael has a weapon called the Peerless Treasure Blade? His son seems to be very powerful as well,â Je rry exhorted.
âItâs true that Kael is very powerful, but it was only because he had the peerless. treasure blade. Now that the blade is in our possession, thereâs no way that Tom would be better than his father,â Kelvin said.

âIn any case, itâs better to be vigilant in everything. Your every move should be inconspicuous. Also, Xavier must be killed as well!â Jer ry instructed.
âXavier? Didnât they say heâs been imprisoned? Besides, heâs on our side. Why would we need to kill him?â Kelvin asked, surprised.
âAt first, Lord Caspian planned to hand him over to the relevant departments in Churron. However, in the end, Lord Caspian unexpectedly brought him to Southlake City for trial. He might expose us, so he must be killed!â Jer ry said through gritted teeth.
âOkay. We have our men in the Inspector Generalâs office. We can intercept from inside and kill him!â Zane said.
âYouâll be in charge of this task. You must deal with him as soon as possible!â Jerr y said.
âGot it!â Zane nodded.
Meanwhile, at Southlake Hospital, Miranda was too exhausted and she fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
Tom and Aria were not sleepy. They found the atmosphere strange!
âLet me ask you something, Tom. Youâre so good at fighting. Have you ever practiced martial arts?â Aria asked all of a sudden.
âIâve never practiced martial arts. Iâm just stronger than most.â Tom was stunned for a moment before answering swiftly.
Ariaâs sudden question caught him off guard.
âStop fooling me. How could you be so powerful if youâve never learned martial arts before?â Aria did not believe Tomâs words.
âYou might not know about this, but great strength can do wonders!â Tom said. with a smile.
A few months prior, Greenton was destroyed by a group of expert martial artists. Tom managed to flee to Southlake City under the protection of his father.
He had been staying with his distant relatives. He kept his identity hidden to avoid suspicion.
âDo you have a powerful mentor teaching you?â Aria asked again.
âNo. Iâm self-taught.â Tom shook his head.

Obviously, he could not simply expose his background.
âI donât believe you. How could you possibly reach this level yourself?â Aria sized Tom up.
âLetâs not talk about me. What about you? How did you get into Task Force Rose? âTom asked, quickly changing the topic of discussion.
âThis is classified information. I canât tell you.â Aria shut his question down.
Everything about Task Force Rose was confidential. Earlier, she had to reveal her identity as she had no other choice.
âBy the way, you mustnât tell anyone that Iâm a member of Task Force Rose,â Aria said coldly.
Tom nodded. Then, the two had nothing else to talk about anymore.
Caspian was awoken by the ringing of his cell phone.
It was a call from Sylvia.
âWhatâs the matter? Why are you calling me so early in the morning?â Caspian asked in a displeased tone.
âLord Caspian, the interrogation department called. Xavierâs dead!â Sylvia said.
âWhat? He was fine, so why did he suddenly die?â Caspian asked, shocked.
âI heard from them that Xavier was weak and sickly. As soon as the torture started, he couldnât take it and died all of a sudden!â Sylvia said.
âHow could this just happen randomly? Perhaps someone wanted to kill him to silence him? Have you investigated clearly?â Caspian said with his brows knitted.
âWeâre investigating,â Sylvia replied.
âOkay. Report to me once you have updates,â Caspian said before hanging up the phone.
At this moment, Willow had also woken up.
âWhoâs bothering you so early in the morning, hubby?â Willow said drowsily.
âWho would it be other than Sylvia?â Caspian said.
Hearing this, Willow did not question him further. Sylvia must have some official affairs to report to Caspian.
Then, both of them got out of bed, washed up, and walked out of the bedroom.
At this moment, Sherry was already busy in the kitchen.
âWhy didnât you sleep in longer, Sherry?â Willow asked.
âIâm worried that you youngsters arenât going to have breakfast, so I got up to make you something to eat.â Sherry had a happy smile plastered on her face.
âYou donât have to get up so early. From now on, leave breakfast to me and Caspian,â Willow said.
âBoth of you already have so much on your plates. You two can get more rest if Iâm the one to prepare the meals,â Sherry said.
âWillow, Iâm sure Mom is bored. Since she wants to, let her be in charge of it,â Caspian stepped forward to say.
Caspian felt at ease knowing that his mother and Willow had a harmonious relationship with each other.
Breakfast was ready, and everyone ate together. Cecilia and Zoey happened to have woken up as well.
âCaspian, when will I be starting school in Southlake City? Iâve already missed several days of classes,â Cecilia asked while eating.
âDue to the war in Southlake City a while back, school has just resumed classes. Iâll arrange it as soon as possible,â Caspian replied.
âThatâs good, then. Iâm just afraid that if I waste too much time, I wonât be able to keep up with my studies.â Cecilia nodded.
âIâll definitely help you make the arrangements for school,â Caspian said.
âCaspian, there are ruins everywhere in Southlake City, Southlake Corporation was also destroyed by the bombs. When can we rebuild Southlake City?â Willow asked.
