Chapter 280 Billy Makes a Run for It
“I have good news for you. The Four Noble Lineages of Easton no longer exist,” Sylvia said as she tossed him the latest newspaper.
Melvin picked it up and saw the news right away. The Four Noble Lineages were found to have violated the law and had been arrested for investigation.
Melvin was utterly shocked as the huge headline stared back at him.
What happened?
The Four Noble Lineages had been wiped out overnight?
What method did Caspian use?
Melvin’s heart was starting to beat faster as he grew increasingly curious about Caspian’s true identity.
He had always wanted to dig into Caspian’s background, but even after digging around, Caspian’s identity remained a mystery.
His files seemed to have disappeared from Diatoran and could not be traced through any channels. Because of this, Melvin had begun to grow more wary of Caspian.
“Does that mean I can return to Easton and revive Celestial Sanctum?” Melvin asked.
Considering how the Four Noble Lineages had been dealt with by the law, he could return to Easton and make a comeback!
“That’s no longer necessary. Caspian has given the instruction that there’s no need for underground forces to exist in Easton,” Sylvia said.
“What? But…”
Melvin’s heart dropped.
What did Caspian mean?
Was it no longer possible for Celestial Sanctum to return to Easton?
He had helped Caspian to defeat Galecrest and even lost some comrades in the process. Was this how Caspian was repaying him?
This was unacceptable!
He wanted to protest, but once he saw the look in Sylvia’s eyes, he knew that he had to give up on this idea.
Melvin had seen what Sylvia was capable of. If he dared to try anything, he would die on the
“Caspian has given his instructions. You’ve been working hard and given your all. He made a promise saying that the entire Celestial Sanctum may stay as long as you don’t hurt anyone,” Sylvia said.
Melvin was speechless when he heard this.
He then exclaimed, “Thank you, Mr. Lynch!”
For the time being, he no longer dared to ask for more. It sufficed that his force could be partially maintained. He could still develop it bit by bit.
At this moment in time, he did not dare to challenge Caspian.
Caspian and Willow were on a flight that was heading to Southlake City from Naporia.
“Willow, I’m truly sorry. I wanted to bring you on a vacation to Naporia so you could unwind, but we ended up running into some trouble,” Caspian said.
It truly was his intention to take Willow on a fun trip. Unfortunately, being the Diatoran God of war meant he had great responsibilities.
He could not just stand idly by when it came to protecting the people from harm. He had to step forward and resolve the problem as soon as he could.
“It’s alright! Besides, we had already visited the food street. I’m already happy enough,” Willow said with a smile.
She could not help but let out a laugh when she thought about the food street.
That incident at South River Restaurant where three of the Zann family members humiliated themselves was pretty hilarious.
To top it off, Caspian had also stuck Vermont with a huge bill.
“By the way, we’ve gained something from our trip to Naporia. A lot of estate belongs to us now. Do you have any plans for them?” Caspian asked.
With the eradication of Galecrest, many of their estates had become Caspian’s.
However, he was not planning on managing these companies. He wanted to transfer all of the estates to Southlake Corporation for Willow to manage.
“Now that you mention it, I’ve been stressing over this matter. Lately, the development of Southlake Corporation has been way too rapid for me to cope with.
“I’ve decided to have my father send someone to Naporia so that Southlake Corporation can open a branch there,” Willow said.
