"I understand. I'll go right away. We've intercepted confidential information from Filren. It seems like they're planning something secretive!" Laina replied.
"What's Filren doing this time?" Caspian asked.
"Filren has dispatched ten Venomous Wolves to assassinate you. They might be lurking in Southlake City now!" she reported.
"I see." Caspian wasn't afraid of them.
"Lord Caspian, the enemies are lurking in the dark. You mustn't let your guard down," Laina advised.
She knew Caspian was powerful and not afraid of assassination attempts.
"Don't worry. I've faced assassination over a hundred assassination attempts. No one has ever harmed me!"
After that, Caspian hung up the phone again and called Macy and Sylvia. He asked them to come to Riverside Villa.
They had to secretly come to the villa because there were surely Jerry's spies around.
After receiving Caspian's instructions, Sylvia and Macy were eager to act. They had been bored recently.
…
At Balthazar's mansion, Jethro was somewhat excited as he looked at Jerry, but Jerry had a gloomy expression.
His negotiations with Filren were failing, and Filren even threatened to send troops and destroy Diatoran!
The people of Diatoran wanted to fight back instead of seeking peace with Filren.
"Mr. Andrews, rest assured that my subordinates are all powerful martial artists. This mission will definitely succeed!" Jethro said confidently.
"Filren is really asking for it. If you can teach them a lesson, that'll be good. But if you fail, it'll only make them more arrogant!" Jerry was still worried.
"Mr. Andrews, I'm confident in completing the mission!"
But as soon as Jethro finished speaking, he remembered his failure at Lunar Lake and suddenly felt embarrassed.
Because of the previous incident, his position in Skyarch Palace plummeted. Now, he clearly felt that Jerry and his sons were beginning to neglect him.
Thus, Jethro planned to take mentees from the Three Poisons Hall to sneak attack Filren.
Jerry needed some achievements to prove himself.
Although he had removed Caspian's position, there was no one to replace Caspian.
Filren knew Caspian wasn't in control anymore and began to act recklessly.
"You can go and launch a surprise attack on Filren, but you must do it in your own name. If you fail, you must kill yourself as redemption!" Jerry said with a nonchalant expression.
Jethro's expression changed slightly as he didn't doubt Jerry's words at all.
"Mr. Andrews, rest assured. We'll definitely enter Filren's capital and capture Byron!"
…
Tears poured down Willow's face as she looked at the thank-you letters from the employees of Southlake Corporation.
These employees expressed their gratitude by stating that they would follow Willow to wherever she was.
Once the reconstruction of the company was completed, they would return to work immediately.
Willow also wanted to rebuild the company, but there were many things that needed to be solved.
Some employees had spontaneously begun recruiting construction teams, starting a reconstruction plan.
"Willow, this is the contract. As long as you sign it, we'll start rebuilding Southlake Corporation immediately," Miranda took out the pen and said.
"We can rebuild the company, but we can't let these employees pay for it. They need money for themselves as well!" Willow shook her head.
"Willow, this is everyone's good intention. Just sign it," Caspian persuaded her from the side.
