The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Why Isn’t Caspian Back Yet

A muted thud rang out. Blood splattered everywhere.

The subordinate’s face was covered in blood, but he was still alive!

“Lord Caspian! You…” Harry Lewis, the man who wanted to shield Caspian from the bullet, had frozen. He

was staring at the scene in front of him in shock.

Blood was gushing out of Caspian’s right arm.

During that critical split second, Caspian stuck his arm out to shield Harry.

He had used his own arm to protect his subordinate!

The moment the bullet struck Caspian, his blood sprayed onto Harry’s face.

Caspian considered every one of his soldiers his kin. He could not stand by and allow Harry to die

protecting him from the bullet.

Furthermore, it was a special day today. He was not going to let anything happen to anyone!

Harry was stupefied to find that Lord Caspian of all people had shielded him from the bullet.

He was ready to die defending Caspian, but instead, it was Caspian who saved him.

Sylvia and the others were also thunderstruck to find that Caspian had been hit.

“Lord Caspian!” the crowd exclaimed as they rushed toward him.

Caspian used his left hand to grab Harry’s gun as he yelled, “Stop! Break out of the encirclement! That’s

the best form of defense!”

Then, he raised the gun, aimed at the mountain, and pulled the trigger.

All three shots he fired hit their marks. Every single enemy Caspian detected was killed in an instant!

Caspian was an expert marksman Even though his right arm was injured, he was just as skilled with his

left.

After hearing Caspian’s order, it finally dawned on Sylvia and the others that breaking through enemy lines was the best way to protect him!

It was pointless for them to act as physical shields. The enemy had come prepared and would have more than enough firepower. There were less than ten of them. If they did not break through the encirclement,

sooner or later, they would all go down.

Once they all died, it was easy to predict what would become of Caspian.

When they realized the severity of the situation, they began to look for cover and launch a counterattack!

Since there were enemies on both sides, Caspian and his people split into two groups as well.

Caspian, Sylvia, and Caspian’s other subordinates were all experienced fighters who had survived

numerous battles.

Even under such dire circumstances, they were able to leverage the favorable terrain and rely on their

wealth of experience to mount a counterattack!

For the sake of cutting off Caspian’s retreat, the enemy had bombed all three of the off-road vehicles.

Meanwhile, back in Southlake City, Willow, Miranda, and Zoey were all dressed and ready for the

wedding. They were making their way over to Stewart Residence.

“Why do I feel anxious? I get the feeling that something bad is about to happen,” Willow said uneasily as

she sat in the car.

“Stop! Don’t say such things. Today’s going to be a good day. Maybe you’re just too nervous,” Zoey

suggested.

“You don’t need to be so nervous, Willow! I’m sure your husband has prepared a great surprise for you.”

Miranda knew that Caspian was wealthy, so she did not think much of it.

“But, ever since Caspian left in the middle of the night last night, I haven’t heard from him at all. I’m a little

worried,” Willow said.

“If you’re worried, why don’t you give him a call? That’ll clear things up for you,” Miranda patted Willow on

the shoulder and comforted.

“Okay.” Willow nodded. She had forgotten she could do that.

She took her phone out and called/Caspian.

Yet, Caspian’s phone was turned off.

Amid the chaos earlier, Caspian had left his phone in the vehicle, and the vehicle had been destroyed by

the enemy.

Both Caspian’s and Sylvia’s communication devices had all been destroyed. It made sense that Willow

could not get a hold of him.

After all, Caspian was fighting for his life right now!

“His phone’s off,” Willow said. She felt even more uneasy now.

“Why? Did he really run off?” Zoey asked. She was beginning to feel suspicious as well.

“You’re overthinking it. I’m sure Mr. Lynch is just doing this to give you a big surprise. That’s why he turned

his phone off. He wants to appear before you when you least expect it.”

Miranda had total faith in Caspian. Was it not a piece of cake for the CEO of Southlake Corporation to

hold a grand wedding that would rock the entire Southlake City?

Willow abruptly recalled what Caspian said before he left. He told her to wait for him at Stewart

Residence no matter what. He said he would not let her down.

Caspian’s words and Miranda’s guesses seemed to match. Willow had to talk herself into believing that
