The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 526

The leader of the men in black angrily shouted, "Stay where you are, or I'll shoot her!"

Tom didn't dare to make any drastic movements as he watched Miranda being held at gunpoint. He wanted to figure out what the men in black wanted.

"Why are you kidnapping Miranda? Are you just trying to get ransom money?" Tom asked.

"We're not interested in money. We do it to force you to do our bidding."

Tom was utterly confused. "Me? What do you want me to do?"

The leader smiled. "I need you to bring Caspian's wife out of her house, preferably to us, all tied up."

Tom froze up as he already knew who Willow was.

Even Miranda was shocked upon learning about her kidnappers' true intentions.

It turned out they were going after Willow in the first place!

Tom asked, "Who are you people? What do you want with Willow?"

He knew that Willow and Miranda were good friends.

The leader explained, "I guess it doesn't hurt to tell you. We're special agents from Vadesia. I'm sure you already know why we want to capture Willow."

Miranda's and Tom's eyes widened in shock upon hearing that the men in black were Vadesian special agents.

They quickly realized why they were so thorough in their attempts to capture Willow.

They could control Caspian so long as they had Willow, the chief commander's wife, in their hands.

Miranda became agitated upon learning that they were forcing Tom to go after Willow. "Forget about me, Tom. Willow isn't just my boss. She's also a great friend of mine! You can't do this!"

She might formally be Willow's subordinate, but they were good friends. Miranda didn't want to put Willow in any danger.

Tom nodded and replied, "Relax, Miranda. I won't hurt Ms. Stewart."

Willow wasn't just Caspian's wife. She had also facilitated a new partnership between Southlake Corporation and the Forrest family.

Kidnapping Willow would be akin to treason, and Tom wasn't stupid enough to go against his benefactor.

Now that Diatoran and Vadesia were officially at war with each other. Willow being in danger or being kidnapped would have a huge impact on Diatoran's morale.

Tom couldn't allow his own personal gains to bring Diatoran into danger.

The leader of the men in black threatened, "Bring Willow here, or say goodbye to Miranda!"

Tom was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He didn't want to kidnap Willow, but he didn't want Miranda to die either.

He couldn't complain about his presented options either, as angering the men in black might only put Miranda in immediate danger.

He also wasn't given the choice to fight back, as Miranda was being held at gunpoint. Any sudden movements and she would be shot.

Tom thought long and hard about it and decided to just drag it out for as long as possible until an opportunity arose for him to rescue Miranda.

"Why do you even need to kidnap Miranda and force me to bring Willow to you? Why not just get someone else?" Tom asked.

He decided to strike up a conversation as he waited for the opportunity to arrive.

He couldn't afford to put Willow in danger just to save Miranda, as Willow's life and death might very well impact Diatoran's fate.
