Yesterday, the Massey family's bodyguards, who were in Southlake City, reported Caspian's rescue mission to Logan.
Upon hearing this, Logan became even more convinced that Caspian and Sherry would be in danger in Southlake City, so he flew there again to bring them back.
"We're having dinner. Not meeting guests now." Caspian walked out and closed the door behind him.
"Sherry, I've reserved my family's best property for you. No one will disturb you. It's a standalone place with caretakers," Logan added from outside the door.
Witnessing Logan's humility, Denzel felt a pang of sympathy.
Logan was known for his stubbornness and pride. He rarely lowered himself like this.
"Caspian, do you think—"
Before Sherry could finish her sentence, Caspian stood up again. He took out his Diatanium dagger and opened the door, pointing it at Logan.
The sudden surge of killing intent made Denzel shiver, and he immediately stood before Logan.
"Sir, please don't get so worked up. Let's talk things over calmly," Denzel said nervously.
"I'll say it again. Leave now, or face the consequences." Caspian's words carried a hint of menace.
Denzel was so intimidated by Caspian's presence that he could hardly catch his breath.
Logan pushed Denzel aside and addressed Caspian, "Caspian, if you hate me that much, then go ahead and do it. As long as you can forgive me."
With that, Logan closed his eyes.
"You want to do things the hard way, right?"
Caspian gritted his teeth, suddenly brandishing his Diatanium dagger. His great force caused a gust of wind to appear, almost knocking Denzel over.
Yet he managed to stand in front of Logan in time.
Seeing this, Sherry exclaimed in shock, and others rushed out, too.
They all thought Caspian just wanted to drive Logan away, but they never expected him to strike.
Caspian's dagger shot toward Logan. In his desperation, Denzel pushed Logan away.
At the critical moment, Caspian quickly withdrew his attack, avoiding a tragedy. Otherwise, Denzel would have been killed.
Caspian's sudden aggression caught Logan off guard. He hadn't expected Caspian to attack him.
"Logan, are you hurt?" Sherry rushed to Logan's side, showing her concern.
Logan shook his head. Although he had been a little furious earlier, receiving Sherry's concern made everything worth it.
Seizing the opportunity, Logan took Sherry's hands and looked at her affectionately. "I'm fine. Just a little startled."
"Don't blame Caspian. He's been adopted since childhood. Neither of us has been by his side, so it's normal for him to have some resentment," Sherry said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I won't blame him. I just hope he can understand and trust me. One day, he'll understand the truth and acknowledge me as his father. Even if I have to wait until the day I die—"
Before Logan could finish his sentence, Sherry covered his mouth. "Don't say such pessimistic words."
Suddenly, a warm surge of emotion flooded Logan's heart, reminiscent of the time when he first met Sherry in his youth.
He couldn't understand Caspian's actions either, but he believed sincerity could move mountains.
Someday, he would be able to move Caspian and Sherry.
"Could it be that Mr. Caspian is deliberately distancing himself from you? He has been dismissed from his post, so he didn't want to implicate the family," Denzel suddenly suggested.
"Makes sense, but I also can't understand why he did that. I feel that he has a purpose in doing this." Logan nodded.
"Mr. Massey, you probably can't think straight now after suddenly learning the news about Mr. Caspian and Madam Lynch," Denzel said.
"Probably. Since Caspian wants to distance himself from me, I won't bother them for now. You bring some bodyguards and stay here. Ensure Caspian's safety," Logan ordered.
"What about you, Mr. Massey? There must be someone to protect you. How about letting Kylen stay, and I'll follow you?"
Kylen Hunter was Denzel's nephew and the leader of the Masseys' bodyguards.
"No, you must handle this personally. Caspian is not only my son but also the Diatoranian God of War. He can't afford any mishaps," Logan instructed.
"Jerry has always had conflicts with him. Now that Mr. Caspian has lost his position and Jerry has become a trusted advisor, I think he might harm Mr. Caspian," Denzel worriedly said as he sighed.
"Find someone to spread the news that Caspian stabbed me with a dagger," Logan said.
"Are you serious, Mr. Massey? Won't it affect his reputation?" Denzel asked, puzzled.
"Caspian is probably just putting on a show. He must have his reasons for doing this," Logan said.
Denzel nodded in response. Although he didn't understand, he still followed Logan's instructions.
