Willow and Zoe had just learned of the chaos out in the streets and decided not to leave the house.
Some of the protestors had even found out about Caspian's address and began to surround Riverside Villa.
Caspian had already assigned some of his armored soldiers to serve as Willow's bodyguards, and they were keeping the protestors at bay.
One of the leaders shouted, "Bring Caspian to us now! We need an explanation!"
"Come out, Caspian!"
"Get the hell out, you good-for-nothing!"
"You coward, get out of the house!"
The crowd continued to shout from outside Riverside Villa.
The leader changed his chants. "Caspian is the Diatoranian God of War and yet he won't lead his men into battle. He's more like the Diatoranian God of Disgrace!"
The crowd followed along and chanted in unison, "Caspian is the Diatoranian God of Disgrace!"
Willow and Zoe remained inside the house. They were frightened by the noise coming from outside.
They never expected that the public would dare to ridicule and insult Caspian even though he was the Diatoranian God of War.
Caspian had just left the city yesterday under the protection and glamor of a fleet of tanks. And yet his reputation with the public had completely shifted within a single night.
Willow was expecting that she would garner even more respect after Caspian's true identity was revealed. She never expected that a protest would break out instead.
The leader of the armored battalion shouted, "Leave, now! Anyone trying to cause trouble will be dealt with accordingly!"
The armored soldiers wouldn't tolerate any troublemakers as they were assigned to protect Caspian's house and his wife.
The leader of the protestors shouted, "You're soldiers, aren't you? What are you doing here shouting at us instead of defeating the enemies?"
"Yeah! You should be on the battlefield, not here!"
"Enemy troops are already outside our borders! And yet you're still pretending that nothing is happening!"
"Bring Caspian to us! Or we'll burn down the entire house!"
The crowd seemed as if they were about to rush inside Riverside Villa to look for their target.
The leader of the armored battalion didn't dare to forcefully remove the protestors as they were simply just innocent civilians.
He had no other choice but to make a report to Caspian.
…
Miranda was bored out of her mind now that Southlake Corporation office had become deserted.
She learned about the protests happening outside in the city and decided to stock up on necessities so that she didn't have to leave the house too much.
Her only problem right now was none other than a man named Tom, who kept clinging to her.
Tom Forrest was an affluent young man from Southlake City. He had long been interested in courting Miranda and had recently started to visit her at work.
Miranda impatiently explained, "Why are you following me? I've already told you that I'm not interested."
She appreciated his efforts, but she felt that no man other than Caspian could be worthy of her.
Tom explained, "It takes time for feelings to blossom. Give me a chance, Miranda."
"I need to go and buy groceries from the supermarket, so stop following me already."
Tom waited for her outside as she entered the supermarket.
When she finally came out with her groceries, she was met with an SUV stopping right in front of her.
A pair of burly hands came out from within and pulled her into the car.
Miranda was so frightened that she couldn't even react in time.
