Lord Chapter 740

Chapter 740 The Ones Who Benefit the Most

Caspian also felt aroused when he heard Willow say that. However, that feeling soon disappeared. He had just been dismissed as the God of War, and there was also the precarious situation with the king’s residence.

“Willow, I’ve just been removed from my post. And His Majesty is also currently surrounded by people who don’t have his best interests at heart. I just…”

“I know you’ve been feeling down, but this is my way of getting you to relax.” Willow grinned.

“I’m worried that Jerry will make a move on me,” Caspian said, worried.

“But you’re no longer involved with the military. Why would Jerry do anything to you?” Willow asked, confused.

“Jerry has always considered me an eyesore. Now is the perfect time for him to strike since I no longer have any soldiers by my side.”

“But…” Willow still didn’t seem to get Caspian’s words.

זיי

may have been stripped of my position, but I’m still a threat to Jerry. I used to be a Diatoranian God of War, after all. If I wave a hand, there will be scores of people scrambling to support me.

“Jerry’s not the kind of person who can stand to see someone turn their life around. He’s sure to send people after me and raise hell,” Caspian explained.

Given the chance, Caspian would also strike when his opponent was at their weakest.

“Jerry is currently His Majesty’s most trusted advisor, and he’s also powerful. We no longer have the protection of the armored soldiers. What can you do if Jerry attacks?” Willow frowned suddenly.

“As an advisor, he definitely can’t openly make a move against me. He’ll

certainly get an assassin to kill me instead. Don’t worry. The average assassin is no match for me,” Caspian said casually.

“You’re right. You’re such an amazing man. That worm, Jerry, certainly can’t touch you.” Willow nodded rapidly.

“So, I want to improve myself quickly. Then, I can handle everything thrown at me in the future,” Caspian stated seriously.

“Alright, you do you. It’s Important to make sure that you stay alive. We can do

this again some other time,” Willow sald.

“That’s my thought as well.”

Now that Casplan’s sleepiness had left him entirely, he headed to the river behind the villa. There, he began to study the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

The next day, Laina arrived in Diatoran through its tiny neighbor. She then immediately assigned Task Force Rose to investigate the situation inside the king’s residence.

Laina had already completed her earlier mission. She should be receiving a medal from Balthazar.

But now, Diatoran was in danger. She was in no mood to think about her owed accolades. Instead, she should be helping Caspian figure out what had happened to Balthazar.

Jerry had already anticipated people looking into this state of affairs, so he disconnected all the cameras within the king’s residence. He had already made plans so he wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake.

With no camera footage, Task Force Rose couldn’t find any incriminating evidence. So, they had to take a different path of action.

Jerry didn’t continue to sit around and twiddle his thumbs either. He began to distance Caspian’s supporters from him.

Now that Balthazar was under his/control, Jerry was the one making the major decisions instead. And so, he had the armored soldiers restationed in Tigra.

Since this was an order from Balthazar himself, the armored soldiers didn’t dare to disobey.

Sylvia already knew Jerry’s rationale, but she had no choice but to follow her orders.

One by one, everyone that Casplan had trained was stationed elsewhere.

And now, Caspian was all alone.

The transfer of Casplan’s famed armored soldiers led to an uproar. Vadesia, Astronia, and Estrya began making plans once they caught wind of this news,

With Caspian’s removal and the armored soldiers moved to Tigra, now was the perfect chance to make a move,

However, they didn’t dare to act rashly, in case this was a ploy by Diatoran. So, they decided to stand back and observe for a while longer.

No one could figure out why Balthazar would dismiss the

God, Caspian, so suddenly. This was just weakening the nation’s defenses. And with how sudden this development was, none of the other countries dared to make a move yet.

Jerry had Balthazar give the order to transfer the armored soldiers so that he could further weaken Caspian. They could only take down Caspian when he had

no one to turn to.

Kelvin was also currently busy with getting in touch with Skyarch Palace. He had contacted them to form his own troops of soldiers.

Zane had also created his own intelligence department. He then sent out some Skyarch Palace members to gather information. Anyone who dared to question the Andrews family would then be punished.

The rest of the Diatoranian officials didn’t dare to offend the Andrewses. They knew that the Andrews family was now the king’s darling. In fact, many officials began to curry favor with them.

Caspian spent the next two days studying the Eldorian Scroll fragment he had.

The Stewarts initially wanted to attack Caspian. But they didn’t dare to make their way to Riverside Villa. All they did was hold onto their anger.

Tom and Aria made a full recovery with Avon treating them. They could now fully return to their duties.

That night, Laina called Caspian.

“Lord Caspian, Task Force Rose has discovered something,” Laina stated.

“Speak,” Caspian said, worked up by this piece of news.

“It took us a few days of investigations. But we found out that many people in black entered the king’s résidence the night before he called you back to Dhord City!”

“I already knew about that. His Majesty has also said that a group of assassins had ambushed him. Jerry mentioned that Lyndon’s men had killed them all,” Caspian said.

“I think there’s more to it. The ones who were killed were most likely His Majesty’s own guards!” Laina said.

Caspian’s expression turned stiff.

“How do you know? Do you have proof?” he asked.

“Not yet, for now. But it seems that His Majesty’s current guards are all new faces. And they seem different from the average person. Clearly, they’re assassins in disguise!” Laina declared.

Caspian was shocked by this piece of news. He had thought this a possibility, but there hadn’t been any proof until now.

It seemed that Balthazar was truly in a den of wolves now.

“Since these assassins have successfully infiltrated His Majesty’s residence, why didn’t they do anything to him?” Caspian asked.

“I’m guessing that they’re holding His Majesty hostage. They can then do anything they want this way,” Laina said.

“Have you found out who’s behind all this?” Caspian asked anxiously. This was the key thing he wanted to know.

“If

my guess is right, then it’s the Andrewses. They benefit the most from this arrangement.

“Jerry, Kelvin, and Zane have all climbed to high positions. With that in mind, it makes sense that they’re the masterminds,” Laina said.
