The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 656

"None of this would've happened if it hadn't been for us," Cecilia said remorsefully.

"It has nothing to do with you. It was that punk's fault. He's the one who drove while drunk and crashed into you. He even tried to twist things around! He's despicable!" Tom declared.

"Well, people like us who are poor or powerless always get bullied. I just hope things can get settled as quickly as possible," Cecilia said worriedly.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Go to sleep. You have class tomorrow, don't you?" Tom reminded.

"Yeah. Thanks." Cecilia nodded and went to her room.

Tom stayed by the door for a little longer, but since everything seemed normal, he eventually went to his room as well.

Over at Churron Hospital, Fergus told Lacey, "Dear, I finally hired us an extremely capable surgeon."

"Excellent! How long will it take him to get there?" Lacey asked.

"He's rushing over as we speak, but he'll only arrive tomorrow night at the earliest," Fergus replied.

"Fine. We won't do anything today, then. We'll go after them tomorrow!" Lacey said.

"We can't let anyone find out about the eye transplant. Where should we go?" Fergus asked.

"Why don't we head to that abandoned factory in the north? It's a remote area with no one around. We can gouge out their eyeballs and bury them alive there. It'll save us a ton of trouble," Lacey said.

"That's settled, then. I'll arrange for more people to patrol the area," Fergus said.

"Definitely. No one must find out what we're doing. After all, it won't reflect well on us. Even if my father wanted to smooth things over for us, it would be quite difficult for him," Lacey said.

While Jerry was indeed a powerful politician, there were still things he couldn't bury under the rug.

"I know. Don't worry. No one except for us, Blake, and the surgeon will know about this," Fergus declared confidently.

Caspian called Laina once more, but unsurprisingly, she had no new update for him.

Sylvia was busy overseeing the construction of the martyrs' memorial plaque, and Desmond was handling the martyrs' remains.

A grand remembrance ceremony was going to be held at Southlake Square tomorrow.

After thinking it over, Balthazar had decided to take Caspian's advice. He was planning on remembering the souls of the fallen heroes before rewarding the surviving soldiers for their valiance and heroic acts.

The news regarding the remembrance ceremony spread all across Southlake City. Everyone in the city knew about it, and even the entire nation of Diatoran had their eyes on the event.

Caspian had driven off both Robert and Viktor, as well as their armies. Thanks to that, the people of Southlake City no longer doubted him.

The citizens who had fled during the fight also returned to their homes.

Many had been injured during the battle at Southlake City. Avon was stuck at the hospital, doing his best to treat the patients.

Rubble and ruins could be found in all corners of Southlake City. Soon, it would be time to start rebuilding the city.

…

Back at Churron, Fergus and Lacey were at home.

"Dear, the surgeon and his assistant have arrived in Churron," Fergus informed Lacey.

"Good. Arrange accommodations for them. We'll strike at midnight!" Lacey said.

"Why wait till midnight?" Fergus asked.

"Because that's the quietest hour. We can do whatever we want without having to worry about being seen," Lacey said.

"Got it. I'll make the arrangements right away!" Fergus replied.
