The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 454

Sylvia asked, "Caspian, shall I head over there with a few people …"

"That won't be necessary. We don't need to resort to violence. Just give the governor of Dhord City a call," Caspian said. "Government officials who fail to uphold their duty should all be removed from their positions!"

"Understood, Caspian!" Sylvia responded.

The governor of Dhord City was an important position, and he held more power than all the other governors in the country.

After all, Dhord City was the heart of Diatoran's commerce.

Caspian didn't want to abuse his special privileges because he knew that those with ill intent would badmouth him if he did.

…

Over at the licensing department, Chadwick was watching a movie on his phone. Office hours were ending in less than half an hour, and he still had a stack of unsigned documents in front of him.

It was basically impossible to ever see him actually doing his job. Instead, he idled his days away.

Chadwick was getting ready to get off work early when someone barged into his office.

Jumping in fright, he nearly fell out of his chair.

Glaring daggers at the two people who just came in, Chadwick roared, "Who the fuck are you two? You bastards! Don't you know how to knock?"

Caspian studied Chadwick and found the latter to be a round-bellied man with a seemingly haughty attitude.

He deduced that Chadwick must've caused a lot of grief to ordinary citizens with his wicked ways, and he was determined to teach Chadwick a lesson he wouldn't forget.

Without saying anything, Caspian walked over to the desk and took a seat.

"You're Chadwick Sheehan?" Caspian asked as he eyed Chadwick.

"I am, and who the fuck are you? Get the hell out!" Chadwick shouted.

He was outraged. Everyone had always treated him with respect. Who was this guy who showed him no respect at all?

"Is this how you always act? It's such a disgrace that you're working in the Diatoran government!" Caspian rebuked scornfully.

"You!" Chadwick snarled. He was hopping mad. How dared this guy insult him?

"I'm not going to waste my time on you. This is Southlake Corporation's application to set up a branch office here. Sign it at once."

Caspian tossed the document onto the desk in front of Chadwick.

He didn't want to waste his breath on a guy like Chadwick.

"Southlake Corporation?" Chadwick repeated. That name infuriated him further.

Was this punk working for Southlake Corporation? How could this bastard be so disrespectful when he was the one asking for a favor?

"I've made myself clear already. I won't be approving Southlake Corporation's application. It's your fault for offending Mr. Gasse. I'm not signing this!" Chadwick declared coldly.

Caspian sneered.

Chadwick was indeed an ignorant buffoon, but it turned out that he had Zayn to back him up.

Caspian had hit Zayn in public in Southlake City back then. Naturally, a scion like Zayn wouldn't let things slide just like that.

However, Caspian didn't expect Zayn to target him the moment he stepped foot into Dhord City.

Zayn wasn't a complete idiot after all. He was smart enough to use his connections with the licensing department.

Nonetheless, in Caspian's eyes, Zayn was being utterly foolish.

No one who ever crossed Caspian got away with it unscathed.

Chadwick probably didn't know just how much danger he was in right now.

"Hahaha! Are you scared now? Mr. Gasse isn't someone you can afford to offend!" Chadwick gloated.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Caspian slapped him in the face.

"How dare you hit me?"

Clutching his throbbing cheek, Chadwick stared at Caspian in shock. He couldn't believe how bold Caspian was.

He was the director of the licensing department! Yet Caspian dared to treat him this way? Was Caspian trying to destroy all chances of ever making it in Enies?

"Please have mercy," Chadwick begged as he slumped on the floor, looking like a pathetic mess.

"Are you ready to sign the application now?" Caspian asked with a smile.

Chadwick shuddered. He looked at Caspian with a sense of apprehension.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and declared, "I'll never sign it!"

Chadwick refused out of his fear of Zayn. He knew Zayn would come after him if he approved Southlake Corporation's application.

Caspian didn't expect Chadwick to be this adamant still.

"Fine. It doesn't matter how hard you refuse now. You'll get on your knees and beg for mercy soon enough."

Caspian sat down and lit a cigarette.

Chadwick was confused. Was that supposed to be a joke? Why would he ever beg for mercy?

Either way, he knew he couldn't approve the application no matter what. As long as he held out, Zayn would definitely reward him handsomely.

Just then, the door to Chadwick's office flew open with a bang, and a few men in suits came in.

"Which one of you is Chadwick Sheehan?" the man in the lead asked solemnly.

"That's me. Who are you people? What are you doing here?" Chadwick asked after getting to his feet.

"We're from the Inspector General's office. You're under suspicion for misconduct. Kindly come with us for further investigation," the man replied while holding out his identification badge.

Chadwick's eyes widened. He was dumbstruck.

Why were the authorities here to take him into custody? He didn't commit any crimes.

Furthermore, he was working for the Gasse family. Who would dare to mess with him?

Did these people make some kind of mistake?

Chadwick couldn't wrap his head around the situation.
