The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 724

"Your Majesty, these people are all martial artists, not a 'motley group' as you called them," Jerry said seriously.

Balthazar asked, confused, "Martial artists?"

He knew that there were many more other martial artists in Diatoran, but how did Jerry manage to recruit so many people?

"Yes. They wouldn't have succeeded in killing all the guards so effortlessly if they weren't martial artists," Jerry said.

"But why would they listen to you?" Balthazar was baffled.

"I don't need to tell you about that, Your Majesty. I started preparing for this many years ago, and I formed an organization called Skyarch Palace!" Jerry said.

"Do you really think you can achieve your goal? When my reinforcements arrive, you'll surely lose!" Balthazar said.

"It's pointless no matter what you say now, Your Majesty. I have my ways to make you obey me," Jerry said coldly.

"What are you after? Are you plotting to hold me hostage and then command the Champions?" Balthazar asked, shocked.

"You're right!" Jerry had no plans to tell the King what he was plotting. However, he would have Jethro put a spell on the King next. He knew that he had to assert control over the King as soon as possible, lest anything undesirable happen.

"Jethro, do it now. I can take the opportunity to see what you're capable of too." Jerry waved his hand in the air.

Jethro walked out. "Sure."

Everyone else looked at him intently from outside the chamber. Jerry and his sons looked at the King, holding their breaths with concentration. They were already in control of the situation now, so they did not fear the King.

"What on Earth do you want to do, Jerry?" Balthazar noticed that Jerry was harboring bad intentions. He also knew that he was about to be done for.

Jerry said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't hurt you, and I won't ascend to the throne."

"I'm consumed by regret now, Jerry. Caspian has told me to be alert against you, but I didn't take his words seriously," Balthazar said regretfully.

"You care about no one but Lord Caspian, Your Majesty. Have you ever cared about what veteran officials like us feel? You're in this state now because you're too trusting of Caspian," Jerry said coldly.

"Caspian is the head of the Five War Gods. Am I wrong for viewing him with high regard? Higher-ups like you should do your jobs and follow orders obediently. Even if you can hold me hostage, can you do anything to the War Gods of Diatoran?"

"You should worry about yourself first, Your Majesty." Jerry gave Jethro a look.

"You'll surely fail. When I'm rescued, your family will be wiped out!" Balthazar said furiously.

At this moment, Jethro took out a brown pill, which he tossed directly into the King's mouth. Balthazar did not even realize it before he swallowed the pill with a frown.

"What the hell is this?" Balthazar asked, panicked.

Jethro said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's just an ordinary pill."

"You bastards! Your deaths are near!" Balthazar screamed, furious. "What does this pill do?"

He knew that the pill was surely not as simple as it seemed. He was truly feeling panicked.

"After you take the pill, you'll be under our control. But don't worry, this pill won't cause you any other damage or injury," Jethro told Balthazar the truth as there was no need to hide it now.
