The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 507

After hearing what the crowd said, Richard, Nicholas, and the Stewarts had a look of realization.

The comments made sense. It seemed unlikely that Caspian could pretend to be a big shot in a situation like this.

They finally got the feeling that Caspian had to be a powerful figure.

"Isn't a senior general the highest military rank in Diatoran? Why does Caspian have five stars on his uniform?" Marilyn asked anxiously.

The crowd immediately gave their responses.

"It's not hard to figure that out. Maybe the King of Diatoran awarded him with a special rank!"

"Either way, who would dare to pretend to be someone they're not on such an important occasion? They'd get themselves killed."

"Didn't you see what happened just now? General Anderson, a senior general himself, opened the car door for Caspian. All the soldiers stood in formation and saluted him!

"Do you think an ordinary person could receive such treatment? It's obvious that Caspian holds a higher rank than General Anderson."

Richard, Nicholas, and the Stewarts couldn't find any flaws in the crowd's analysis, so they felt even more dread.

Marilyn was consumed by regret. If she had known Caspian was a powerful figure, she would've done her best to curry favor with him. Who would've thought that the so-called loser would turn out to be a big shot?

She abruptly recalled all the ways the Stewarts used to mock him. If they had treated him with a little more kindness, the family would've surely soared to impossible heights!

Marilyn cursed herself for messing up the one-in-a-million opportunity!

If someone as powerful as him became part of the family, the Stewarts could certainly bask in glory!

Plus, since he was their matrilocal son-in-law, plenty of people would try to butter them up too. The family would gain a great deal of prominence and influence in Southlake City.

Even Kate was feeling nothing but regret. She could've had such a powerful son-in-law, but she had chased him out.

If she could turn back time, she would've definitely done her best to get on Caspian's good side.

Alas, it was too late for regrets.

Alicia also sighed lamentably. She never expected Willow to have such an important figure for a husband—one who was even more powerful than a senior general.

If she had someone like that backing her up, there was no doubt that everyone would try to ingratiate themselves with her. In fact, if she had been able to establish a good relationship with Caspian, she would've probably been able to do anything she wanted.

Unfortunately, the family failed to see that Caspian had been hiding his true identity. They had been degrading Caspian and Willow all along, and it was too late now. Willow no longer had any ties with the Stewart family.

Similarly, Desmond and all the other Stewarts were stewing in regret. But at the same time, they felt fearful. They had ridiculed Caspian more times than they could remember. Would he come after them at some point?

Out of all the Stewarts, Carl was the only one who seemed fairly calm. He and Caspian had a decent relationship, and after learning of Caspian's true identity, he felt privileged to be related to him.

Naturally, Carl wasn't interested in profiting off his relationship with Caspian. He simply thought that Caspian being a powerful figure was a guarantee that Willow would live a good life.

As long as Willow was able to have a blissful, carefree life, Carl would have nothing to be worried about.
