Chapter 107 A Cruel Idea
The staff on night duty at the Inspector General’s office started exclaiming in panic.
“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake?”
“I don’t know. Is there some kind of construction work happening nearby?”
“Impossible! This doesn’t sound like construction work!”
“Let’s go and see what’s happening.”
They quickly ran out of the building.
When they arrived at the entrance, they were gobsmacked.
Countless tanks and military vehicles had filled every inch of the space in front of the Inspector General’s office!
Even more armored vehicles were approaching as well.
The staff froze in shock. Despite working in the Inspector General’s office, they had never seen such a grand procession.
“What on earth is going on?” an inspector asked curiously.
“Did the army come to demolish the Inspector General’s office…” another inspector asked in a trembling voice.
“Why did a military unit show up here?”
Just then, two imposing generals approached the building with special forces soldiers flanking them from behind. They were Julian, the chief of staff of the army at South Aridlands, and Sylvia, who was a general officer.
However, lately, everyone in Southlake City knew that Sylvia’s identity was fake.
Sylvia had informed Julian about Caspian’s situation. Once the two met up, they rushed over to the Inspector General’s office with Julian’s troops.

“That’s right. He’s not here,” the inspector replied.
“Hand over Caspian Lynch, then!” Sylvia said.
“Caspian Lynch? How are you related to him?” the inspectors asked with widened eyes.
Had the grand army procession come for that good–for–nothing Caspian?
“That’s none of your business!” Sylvia barked.
“Well, he’s not here either!” one of the inspectors said.
“Where is he?”
“We don’t know.”
The inspectors were terror–stricken and had forgotten what Joey told them.
“Search the building!” Julian ordered. He could not be bothered to waste his breath on the useless inspectors anymore.
The soldiers marched into the Inspector General’s office.
Ten minutes later, they came back empty–handed. There was no sign of Caspian.
Julian and Sylvia exchanged looks. They had a bad feeling about this.
“Find Lord Caspian at all costs! Use every means available!” Julian commanded. He was afraid that something might happen to Caspian.
“Yes, sir!”
At the time, Sylvia had tried her best to stop him as she feared something could happen. From
