The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 660

"Please have mercy, Mrs. Jessop!" Caelum hastily pleaded. "He was too powerful! He has to be at least a peaked tier-three expert!

"We tried our best, but we couldn't overpower him! There was nothing we could do!"

"How can he be as good as you claim? He's not a god! There were over 60 of you! You should've been able to catch him! Doesn't that prove how useless you all are?" Lacey screamed in rage.

She didn't know what being a tier-three expert implied.

"Even though he's not a god, he's formidable. I couldn't stand a chance against him. He's far more powerful than I am," Caelum said helplessly.

"That's right, Mrs. Jessop. We all did our best. We couldn't even do anything to him!" one of the men called out.

"We underestimated him. That's why we lost. I'm sure we can catch him if we send more people this time," another one said.

After seeing how badly injured all the men were, Fergus and Lacey believed they did try their best.

Fergus had been so sure that 60 people would've been enough to catch Tom and the others, but he'd been proven wrong.

"Who on earth is he? Why is he so strong?" Fergus asked.

"We've got no idea," Caelum replied.

"So what if he's good in a fight? Can he dodge bullets?" Lacey snorted.

"Do you have an idea, dear?" Fergus asked.

"Send more people over and get them to bring guns this time. Just shoot that bastard!" Lacey growled through gritted teeth.

"We can't do that. If we use guns, we'll catch other people's attention, and we'll be exposed," Fergus said.

"So what? Don't forget who my father is. We can do whatever we want in Churron. No one will dare to investigate us. As long as we do a good job cleaning up the bodies, no one will hold us accountable for a few deaths.

"Blake still needs an eye donor. Are you willing to let him live with a blind eye forever?" Lacey asked.

"Alright. I'll get Celian to go over with some of his men," Fergus said.

"Make sure they don't kill him, or else his eyeballs will be wasted!" Lacey reminded.

"I'll tell them," Fergus said with a nod.

He immediately called Celian Hewitt and told the latter to catch Sherry and the others after giving him Sherry's address.

Celian was an infamous criminal boss in Churron. He had a lot of men working for him. All along, Celian and the Jessops maintained a close relationship, and they often worked together.

Right after getting the call, Celian led his men to Sherry's place.

Meanwhile, Fergus turned to Kent and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. A small issue came up, and the eye donor hasn't been brought over yet."

"How much longer is it going to take?" Kent asked. His patience was at its limit.

"Not long. We'll have him here in just an hour," Fergus assured.

"Fine. I'll wait," Kent replied. He knew the Jessops weren't nobodies, so he dared not be too disrespectful.

"My leg's broken, Mr. Jessop. Can the doctor treat me, too?" Caelum asked.

Fergus nodded in agreement. Since Caelum got injured while carrying out his job, it was only right for the Jessops to handle his treatment.

"Mr. Vega, can you tend to one of my men first?" Fergus asked.

"Sure, but it'll cost extra," Kent said.

"That's no problem at all. How much do you want?" Fergus asked.
