The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 797

"Well, we'll talk about this some other time. I'm being kept under guard here, so I can't go anywhere," Macy said in a melancholic tone.

"I'll do whatever I can to find a way to get you out, Godma. Even if I can't do that yet, I won't let anyone mistreat you either," Mort declared.

As the car drew nearer to Massey Residence, Sherry began to feel nervous. She never thought she would return to the Massey family someday.

Everything that happened over two decades ago flashed before her eyes. She recalled the young Logan who had been madly in love with her.

In a blink of an eye, over 20 years had passed.

Sherry no longer resented Logan.

The closer the car got to Massey Residence, the more anxious Sherry became.

Soon, the car stopped before a receiving crowd, and everyone stepped forward.

Logan approached Sherry and stared at her longingly.

"You're finally back, Sherry," Logan said with a smile. His joyous expression made her even more emotional.

"Yeah," Sherry said with a nod.

Just then, the guards at the entrance set off some poppers to welcome her.

As the colorful confetti filled the air, Sherry was reminded of the day she married Logan.

Feeling emotional, she began to tear up.

"I didn't expect Mr. Massey to put in so much effort, Mom," Willow remarked.

"Mr. and Mrs. Massey, let's head inside and enjoy the feast that has been prepared," Denzel said.

"That's right. The journey to Dhord City must've tired you out, Sherry. Let's head inside so that you can get some rest," Logan said as he took Sherry by the hand.

Blushing, Sherry tried to pull away from him to no avail. He held her hand extremely tightly.

Jerry had a clouded look on his face as he sat on the couch in Balthazar's bedroom. He was watching the news on the television, and the current segment involved Byron.

"It's beyond reprehensible that Diatoran has resorted to dirty trickery. While pretending to be involved in peace negotiations with us, they sent assassins to kill me. Filren will not stand for such behavior, and we will hold Diatoran accountable," Byron declared in fury.

Then, he gave an order, and over a dozen members of the Three Poisons Hall were executed by gunfire.

"We Filrenians have always stood for freedom and peace. Even when Diatoran attacked us, we focused on defending our territory without laying siege to their country. We thought we could form a peace treaty between the two nations.

"Alas, who would've thought that the Diatoranians would go this far? If we don't declare war on them, we'll be the mockery of the world!" Byron declared.

His words ignited a fire in the hearts of Filren's senior politicians who stood behind him.

"I hereby announce that I'm giving Diatoran 72 hours! If they're willing to settle things peacefully, they'll need to give us three cities and 40 trillion in compensation! Otherwise, once time is up, we'll invade their country!" Byron announced.

He waved his hand, and a screen appeared with a countdown.
