Lord Chapter 806

Chapter 806 All Is Fair in War

Meanwhile, Lyndon, who had just recovered, was fleeing while carrying

Balthazar on his back. Laina hung back to fend off the guards who were coming

after them.

After Lyndon regained control of his mind, Laina informed him of everything that happened.

Once Lyndon ran into the forest, Balthazar said weakly, “Lyndon, wait. We need to wait for Laina so that we can leave together.”

Balthazar had also regained his mental clarity, though he was still physically frail.

“Nothing matters more than your safety, Your Majesty. None of us are afraid of sacrificing our lives for your sake,” Lyndon declared.

“Don’t be ridiculous. Am I the kind of ruler who disregards the lives of his subjects? Just hold on for a bit longer. Caspian will surely come and save us,” Balthazar said firmly.

He was fully confident that Caspian would show up when they needed him the

most.

Lyndon had mixed feelings about that. He was the head of the guards in charge of protecting Balthazar, but at a crucial time like this, Balthazar trusted Caspian the

most.

Nevertheless, Lyndon knew that Balthazar was right. Caspian had saved Balthazar from dangerous situations many times now.

Meanwhile, even as Balthazar was caught in a perilous situation now, all Lyndon could do was flee with Balthazar on his back. They even needed to rely on

someone else to protect them.

Taking a deep breath, Lyndon tried to channel his strength, but he couldn’t muster up much.

All of a sudden, Lyndon blacked out and fell to the ground.

After falling onto the ground as well, Balthazar looked at Lyndon with a helpless expression.

Just then, Laina came rushing over. She felt extremely sorry when she saw what happened. Should something happen to Balthazar because of her, she wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

Jethro also caught up to them, and when he saw Balthazar, he was stupefied. “Your Majesty? Is that you?” Jethro exclaimed in shock.

“You scoundrel!” Balthazar fumed with a stern expression.

“It’s really you, Your Majesty! I only came to catch Lyndon. Who would’ve thought I’d get such a boon? Luck is on my side!” Jethro said with a laugh.

“That’s impossible. Isn’t His Majesty in the King’s residence? This one must be a fake!” one of the guards shouted.

“That’s right! He has to be a fake! We just need to catch Lyndon. We can kill the others!” the other guard shouted.

Both men rushed forward at once, but before they could do anything, they felt something piercing through them from the back.

They turned around in shock, only to realize that it was Jethro who stabbed them.

“What are you doing, Mr. Roman?” the other guards cried out as they stared at Jethro.

“If you want to stay alive, then scram! Go back and warn Jerry that both His Majesty and Lyndon are in my hands now. If he wants me to join him, he needs to prove his sincerity to me!” Jethro declared.

He figured that as long as he had Balthazar, he had the ultimate trump card. Even the Andrews family would have to do as he said.

“Mr. Roman, are you going against Mr. Kelvin? What about the promise you made?” a guard shouted.

“I was only doing what I had to do then. Stop wasting your breath! Just do as I said!” Jethro commanded. Now that he had Balthazar under his thumb, he felt like he could do anything he wanted.

“You despicable man! Things won’t end well for you!” Balthazar fumed.

“Hahaha! Say whatever you want, I don’t care. As long as I have you, even Caspian has to do as I say,” Jethro gloated. “It’s true that I can’t take Caspian head–on, but I can rely on other strategies!”

“You do have some self–awareness, then. In that case, what gives you the nerve to catch me?” Balthazar asked.

“Hahaha! Jerry’s useless. He didn’t even realize that you’ve been switched out from under his nose! Since you’re in my hands now, I’ll make full use of you!” Jethro announced maniacally.

Then, he glared at the guards and questioned, “Why aren’t you leaving yet? Are you so keen to die?“!

The guards had been hunting Lyndon down, so they weren’t all too pleased about. letting Jethro take all the glory for himself.

After giving it some thought, they charged at Jethro in an attempt to overpower him.

Unfortunately, they were no match for him. After a few rounds, they were defeated.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared.

“Mr. Dunn! You’re here,” Jethro said with a smile.

It never would’ve occurred to Jethro that the Jett he was seeing was actually Caspian in disguise.

Laina didn’t know it was Caspian either. She thought it was Avon who came.

“I heard you’ve chosen to join Kelvin’s faction, Mr. Roman. Looks like you’re doing good for yourself!” Caspian remarked with a smile.

“I don’t think you’re in a position to say anything about me, Mr. Dunn. Are you the one who snuck His Majesty out?” Jethro responded with a smile.

He was now realizing that he couldn’t quite get a read on Jett.

However, Caspian didn’t answer that question. He didn’t want to waste his breath.

“I know you’re a man of ambition, Mr. Dunn. Why don’t we work together? When the time comes, we’ll both make something of ourselves in Diatoran!” Jethro suggested.

He didn’t want to fight Jett head–on as he wasn’t sure about his chances of winning.

“Work with you? Who knows what you’ll end up doing to me if I choose to work with you!” Caspian retorted coldly.

“You’re wrong about that, Mr. Dunn. We both chose to work for the Andrews family because we have a common goal. I’m sure you understand my predicament,” Jethro said earnestly.

“Well, prove to me that your offer is genuine. Get rid of those two!” Caspian pointed at the two guards and sald.

The moment Caspian finished speaking, Jethro rushed forward. With a flick of his

hand, a cloud of white powder scattered before the two guards.

In mere seconds, both men had turned into mangled corpses. Clearly, the white powder was a highly toxic poison.

Upon seeing that, Caspian grabbed a sword and charged at Jethro.

“What’s the meaning of this, Jett? I’ve just killed them, so why are you still

attacking me?” Jethro bellowed.

When did I agree to work with you? Do you have a witness who can back you up on that claim?” Caspian asked with a chuckle.

“You bastard! You tricked me!” Jethro roared.)

He quickly tried to dodge as Caspian lunged the sword at him, but it was too late.

The sword stabbed right into Jethro’s right shoulder.

“Hang on! Something’s wrong! You’re not Jett Dunn! Who are you?”

Jethro stared at Jett in horror. After their earlier clash, he sensed that something was amiss. Jett wasn’t this powerful.
