Chapter 57 Caspian’s Triumphant Return
The police bureau’s report read, “Lilith Ziegler got into a physical altercation with a citizen. The situation soon escalated into a fight and resulted in the murder of Lilith. The citizen also jumped into a lake and drowned.”
Willow could tell that the report was completely fabricated nonsense.
She was sure that the York family was involved in covering up the incident.
She also understood the limits of her own capabilities, as she could not directly confront the almost invincible York family.
Willow wanted to notify Caspian about the matter, but she ultimately chose to honor Lilith’s
instructions and abandoned the thought. She decided that she would tell Caspian once he
returned.
The incident never became widespread news within Southlake City, being the result of the
police bureau’s deliberate censorship.
Nob*dy else but Willow and her family would ever know about Lilith’s death.
Willow retrieved Lilith’s b*dy and brought Lilith to her final resting place within the
Southlake Cemetery.
Lilith’s funeral was as plain as it can get, the only people present to mourn her death were Willow, her family, Miranda, and Zoey.
Both Miranda and Zoey only received news of the incident when Willow told them about it.
They, too, had never expected such a sudden disaster.
Miranda proposed to notify Caspian to acquire his help, knowing that his power and affluence could bring justice to the matter.
Willow, however, remained steadfast in following Lilith’s wishes.
During the funeral procession, Priscilla, along with her parents, also joined the funeral to
mourn for Lilith.
She sobbed uncontrollably in front of Lilith’s tombstone. She was especially heartbroken that
Lilith had died to save her.
Her parents also expressed their gratitude and grieved for the deceased.
Priscilla and her family could do nothing more than pay their respects, as they could not do anything against the untouchable York family, as well as the Flying Dragons.

A week later, in the South Aridlands, the moonlight shone brightly as the cold wind gently swept the lands.
Caspian stood under the moonlight with an imposing presence.
Behind him, stood hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Before him, were mountains of corpses of the opposing Tigra soldiers.
The piled–up bodies resembled small hills under the moonlight.
Caspian had prepared for this massive battle for a week. His preparations came to fruition as he and his men had completely annihilated their opposition within five hours of brutal fighting.
“Tigra’s elites have fallen before us! Lord Caspian’s name will revel not just in glory of our own, but also instill fear into all of Tigra!” Julian spoke out with reverence for Caspian.
“Lord Caspian is truly an incredible strategist! He has brought us such an incredible and satisfying victory! May the great name of Lord Caspian be known throughout the world!” Sylvia chimed in as she looked at the piles of corpses.
“We’ve achieved a complete victory with minimal casualties! With our enemies‘ elites annihilated, no one would ever dare invade the South Aridlands ever again! All hail Lord Caspian!” Julian continued singing his praises.
“This victory is not achieved by me alone! It is achieved with all of us working together to defeat our enemies! Everyone will be rewarded for their efforts in achieving such an outstanding victory! As for our fallen brothers and sisters … We will never forget their bravery and sacrifice! Bring them back with us with utmost respect, and notify their families of their sacrifice for the greater good!” Caspian finally answered.
“Yes, sir!” heeded Julian and Sylvia.
The next day, news of the great victory at South Aridlands spread throughout the country.
