Lord Chapter 724

Chapter 724 The King Is Spelled

“Your Majesty, these people are all martial artists, not a ‘motley group‘ as you called them,” Jerry said seriously.

Balthazar asked, confused, “Martial artists?”

He knew that there were many more other martial artists in Diatoran, but how did Jerry manage to recruit so many people?

“Yes. They wouldn’t have succeeded in killing all the guards so effortlessly if they weren’t martial artists,” Jerry said.

“But why would they listen to you?” Balthazar was baffled.

“I don’t need to tell you about that, Your Majesty. I started preparing for this. many years ago, and I formed an organization called Skyarch Palace!” Jerry said.

“Do you really think you can achieve your goal? When my reinforcements arrive, you’ll surely lose!” Balthazar said.

“It’s pointless no matter what you say now, Your Majesty. I have my ways to make you obey me,” Jerry said coldly.

“What are you after? Are you plotting to hold me hostage and then command the Champions?” Balthazar asked, shocked.

“You’re right!” Jerry had no plans to tell the King what he was plotting.

However, he would have Jethro put a spell on the King next. He knew that he had to assert control over the King as soon as possible, lest anything undesirable happen.

“Jethro, do it now, I can take the opportunity to see what you’re capable of too.” Jerry waved his hand in the air.

Jethro walked out. “Sure.”

Everyone else looked at him intently from outside the chamber. Jerry and his sons looked at the King, holding their breaths with concentration. They were already in control of the situation now, so they did not fear the King.

“What on Earth do you want to do, Jerry?” Balthazar noticed that Jerry was harboring bad intentions. He also knew that he was about to be done for.

Jerry said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I won’t hurt you, and I won’t ascend to the throne.”

“I’m consumed by regret now, Jerry. Caspian has told me to be alert against you,

but I didn’t take his words seriously,” Balthazar said regretfully.

“You care about no one but Lord Caspian, Your Majesty. Have you ever cared about what veteran officials like us feel? You’re in this state now because you’re too trusting of Caspian,” Jerry said coldly.

“Caspian is the head of the Five War Gods. Am I wrong for viewing him with high regard? Higher–ups like you should do your jobs and follow orders obediently. Even if you can hold me hostage, can you do anything to the War Gods of Diatoran?”

“You should worry about yourself first, Your Majesty.” Jerry gave Jethro a look.

“You’ll surely fail. When I’m rescued, your family will be wiped out!” Balthazar said furiously.

At this moment, Jethro took out a brown pill, which he tossed directly into the King’s mouth. Balthazar did not even realize it before he swallowed the pill with a frown.

“What the hell is this?” Balthazar asked, panicked.

Jethro said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. It’s just an ordinary pill.”

“You bastards! Your deaths are near!” Balthazar screamed, furious. “What does this pill do?”

He knew that the pill was surely not as simple as it seemed. He was truly feeling panicked.

“After you take the pill, you’ll be under our control. But don’t worry, this pill won’t cause

you any other damage or injury,” Jethro told Balthazar the truth as there was no need to hide it now.

Balthazar was dumbfounded. He did not know that strange pills such as this existed. If he ended up being their puppet, whatever happened next would be terrible!

The next moment, he felt extreme discomfort from head to toe. He felt dizzy, like the world was spinning around him. A minute later, he felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep immediately.

“He’ll become our puppet soon, Mr. Andrews,” Jethro said with a laugh.

“That’s great! This moment has finally come after we’ve been waiting for so long! “Jerry said excitedly.

Only after having full control over the King could he finally feel relieved. He dared not make any mistake when it came to this matter.

“Dad! Our family will have control over Diatoran now!” Zane was emotional.

“Congratulations, Dad! Our family can finally stand with our heads held high!” Kelvin was excited too.

“You’re right. The Andrews family will rise to unthinkable heights, and I’ll reward all of you who have worked for the family handsomely!” Jerry said.

“Thank you, Mr. Andrews!” all the men from Skyarch Palace replied in unison.

The King had fallen soundly unconscious.

“How long do we have until we can assert full control over the King, Jethro?” Jerry asked.

“About two hours. After he wakes up, he’ll become a puppet. He’ll gradually lose his ability to think as well as his consciousness. After that, he’ll carry out any order we issue,” Jethro said.

“Sure. Let us wait for a while longer, then. We’ll have him issue a command and summon Caspian back here!” Jerry said.

“Isn’t Caspian attacking the capital of Filren? Won’t we be in danger if we summon him now?” Zane said worriedly.

“We have no other choice. I’ll never feel at peace as long as Caspian is alive. We must eliminate him! Also, there’s no way Filren will fall so easily,” Jerry said after some consideration.

Kelvin asked as well, “What happens after Caspian comes back? Are we starting a war against him?”

Jerry chuckled. “Of course not. We must think of a way to take his control over the army away from him. After that, we’ll no longer have anything to fear.”

“That’s a great idea! If we can deal with Caspian, it’ll isolate him, and we’ll have nothing to fear,” Kelvin said.

“Don’t forget that he’s the reason your sister died. We must avenge her!” Jerry smirked.

“We’ll be letting him off too easily if we just take his control over the army away from him, won’t we, Dad? We must think of a way to torture him severely. Only after that can we exact revenge!” Zane said maliciously.

“We can take his control over the army from him first before dealing with him any way we want. We should revert the residence back to its original state and wash the blood on the ground away so that no one notices that something’s

amiss!” Jerry ordered.

He then turned to Jethro, asking, “What if you do this, Jethro? You can perform a spell on Lyndon too with another pill.”

Jethro said in disdain, “He has no control over the army, Mr. Andrews, so why let him live? Why not just kill him? That’s better than wasting another of my pills.”

“Not now. His identity still has some value as far as we’re concerned. We can put it to use,” Jerry said.

“He’s one of the King’s most trusted men. If he was met with a sudden death, it would arouse suspicion. That’s why we must let him live. We can have our men from Skyarch Palace disguise themselves as the King’s guards, and with this, we can keep our actions a secret from everyone.”

“I understand your intentions now, Mr. Andrews.” Jethro nodded before leaving the chamber.

Jerry had several of his men stay here and monitor Balthazar. He had already passed out, so Jerry was not worried that anything unexpected would happen.
