Lord Chapter 804
The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 804 Looming Danger
Avon knew the guards hadnât seen Balthazar as he was in another place. However, Jerry would surely ask him why he took Lyndon, so he had to come up with a plausible explanation.
But once he recalled that Caspian was over at the Kingâs residence with Jerry, he felt a little more confident.
Thus, without any hesitation, he left with the guards to meet Jerry.
Meanwhile, Laina snuck out from another exit with Lyndon in tow. Unfortunately, someone noticed her.

the guards rushed to Kelvin in a panic.
âSir, weâve found Lyndon!â the guard shouted.
Pleased by the news, Kelvin asked, âWell, where is he, then? Why didnât you catch him?â
âSomeone from Life Force took him away,â the guard said helplessly.
âHow useless! You people couldnât even deal with someone from Life Force?â Kelvin growled.
âSir, we also tracked down Jett Dunn. He seems to be doing something in secret,â the guard reported.
Enraged, Kelvin snarled. âWhat? The nerve of him! Why did he seize Lyndon?â
âMr. Kelvin, I think itâs all clear now. Jett must have decided to ally with Mr. Zane. He mustâve taken Lyndon away to give him to Mr. Zane instead. Once that happens, youâll lose your standing with Mr. Andrews!â Jethro said meaningfully. He didnât want to see the three Andrews men getting along. He stood to gain the most if the three of them started fighting among themselves.
âThat canât be. My men havenât informed me of any news about Jett and Zane having contact,â Kelvin replied doubtfully.
âDo you think this is something that your men could discover so easily, Mr. Kelvin?â Jethro remarked.
Alarmed, Kelvin started getting a bad feeling.
The Andrews family formed Skyarch Palace to seize control over Diatoran. They had only just managed to establish themselves, but had the infighting already

begun?
âIâll talk to Dad and find out whatâs going on! Mr. Roman, do you think you can win against Jett?â Kelvin asked.
âJettâs no threat at all! The entirety of Life Force is nothing to be scared of!â
Jethro declared confidently.
âGood. Go and seize Lyndon. Kill anyone who tries to stop you!â Kelvin commanded.
Meanwhile, Avon followed the guards to the Kingâs residence.
When he reached the corridor outside Balthazarâs bedroom, he saw Jerry waiting
for him with a smile.
âYouâre finally here, Mr. Dunn. Help me check on His Majesty,â Jerry said at once as he swiftly led Avon into the bedroom.
He didnât even wait for the guards to give him an update on the current situation.
Naturally, Avon wasted no time in following Jerry into the room.
Caspian was sitting on the bed with a distant look in his eyes, though that was merely an act to fool Jerry.
Just as before, Avon clutched Caspianâs wrist and started tapping out a coded.
message.
Yet again, Caspian used his internal force to control his pulse and inform Avon of his plan.
âHow is he, Mr. Dunn?â Jerry asked.
âCongratulations, Mr. Andrews! His Majesty is almost fully recovered. Soon, youâll become the ruler of Diatoran!â Avon declared respectfully.
Jerry was taken aback. What was Avon talking about?
Although Jerry longed to become the King of Diatoran, he knew he couldnât rush
that.
The Four Champions were no slouches, and he dared not do anything reckless.
âHow much longer will it take before I can start controlling His Majesty again, Mr. Dutt?â Jerry asked anxiously.
âHalf a day or so,â Avon replied.

âThatâs too long. Iâll give you five hours. Make sure he recovers by then!â Jerry instructed urgently after checking the time.
He had to regain control over Balthazar before the countdown ended so that he could have Balthazar give the command to withdraw the army.
âWellâ¦â Avon trailed off, looking conflicted.
âPlease do your best, Mr. Dunn. Once this crisis is resolved, Iâll make you my main strategist!â Jerry declared, making a promise to entice Avon.
But before Avon could respond, someone came charging into the bedroom.
Jerry was furious, and when he saw who it was, his expression darkened as well.
âDad! That bastard, Jettâ¦â Kelvin stopped talking when he noticed Jett was with Jerry.
Smiling awkwardly, he said, âI didnât expect you to be here, Mr. Dunn.â
âWhatâs the matter, Mr. Kelvin? Am I not supposed to be here?â Avon asked curtly.
The atmosphere grew strangely tense.
âMr. Dunn, surely you agree that Life Force has become a little too arrogant? How dare you people take Lyndon into your custody without permission? How are you going to explain yourself?â Kelvin questioned angrily.
âWhat? Youâve located Lyndon?â Jerry exclaimed.
Lyndonâs disappearance had been hanging over his head for some time now as Lyndon knew everything that happened.
âDad, Jett Dunn is a sleazy liar! He pretends to be compliant and loyal to you, but in reality, he took Lyndon!â Kelvin declared, telling Jerry everything that he knew.
Jerryâs expression hardened as he eyed Jett.
Avon asked coolly, âWhat do you mean by that, Mr. Kelvin? I am nothing but loyal to Mr. Andrews. Are you trying to set me up?â
âStop pretending, Jett. My men have already discovered where youâve been hiding Lyndon. I only stopped them from acting on it because Dad wanted to see you,â Kelvin said with a growl.
âWhatâs going on? Mr. Dunn is loyal to us. Do you have any proof to back up your accusations?â Jerry demanded in fury.
Jerry still had faith in Jett. He didnât think Jett would backstab him.

âPlease calm down, Mr. Andrews. Itâs odd that Mr. Kelvin is abruptly accusing me of this. I think someone mustâve goaded him into doing so.
âDidnât we find out that Caspianâs mole is hiding among the guards? What if itâs him whoâs trying to cause strife among us?â Avon said thoughtfully.
Kelvin was startled. Avon had a point.
But then again, the guard who reported this to him was his trusted subordinate, so why would that guard lie to him?
âSince you refuse to admit it, Jett, I wonât waste my breath on you! Iâve already instructed Mr. Roman to go after Lyndon. Letâs see how youâre going to defend yourself once Lyndon is brought back!â Kelvin declared with a derisive scoff.
Upon hearing that, both Avon and Caspian were alarmed. Lyndon and Balthazar were being kept in the same place. Everything would fall apart if Balthazar was found!
Moreover, Jethro was extremely skillful. There was a likelihood that Laina wouldnât be able to defeat him.
If Balthazar was discovered, Caspian would be exposed as well. They would all be caught in a dire situation!
