The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 798

Caspian planned on pretending to be asleep until Jerry gave the command out loud. Then, he would do whatever Jerry said to dispel Jerry's suspicion.

Meanwhile, Jerry was panicking hard. He didn't know what to do.

He even wondered if Jethro had done something.

If Jerry failed to awaken Balthazar, he wouldn't be able to stop Dax from dispatching the soldiers.

Nevertheless, Jerry had no choice but to return to the phone and say, "His Majesty is sound asleep, Champion Santos. I can't wake him."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Dax ended the call.

Jerry was flabbergasted. It was clear that Dax was going to make a move against Filren.

"Jethro, you bastard! You were dishonest with me!" Jerry roared, pinning all the blame on Jethro.

Jethro had been the one who volunteered to assassinate Byron. Not only did he fail, but he even gave Byron something to use against Diatoran.

Just then, a guard came in and reported, "Mr. Roman is asking to see you, Mr. Andrews."

Jerry was furious, but at least he could now take his anger out on Jethro.

"Give the order. Later, if I give the signal, apprehend Jethro at once!" Jerry growled.

Looking at Jerry's expression, the guard could already imagine what might unfold later.

Soon, Jethro came in with two black bags.

He looked completely calm, as if unaffected by his failed assassination attempt.

"Greetings, Mr. Andrews," Jethro said with a nod.

"How did things go with your assassination attempt, Mr. Roman?" Jerry asked despite knowing that the mission had failed.

"Even though we failed to kill Byron, we didn't walk away completely empty-handed," Jethro calmly reported.

Jerry was infuriated. Jethro had returned after a dismal defeat, so how could he claim to have gotten something out of it?

"Is that so? What did you walk away with?" Jerry asked.

Jethro tossed the bags onto the floor, and a few bloody heads rolled out.

Jerry was so frightened that he nearly fell out of his seat.

"I didn't manage to kill Byron, Mr. Andrews, but I took out several of Filren's senior politicians. That should be enough to suppress the Filrenians!" Jethro declared with confidence, looking like he had made a major contribution to the nation.

Jerry sorely wanted to beat Jethro up, but alas, he was no match for Jethro. He dared not attack Jethro.

Instead, he turned on the television and played a recording of Byron's earlier announcement.

Jerry thought that would suffice to humiliate Jethro, but he was mistaken. Jethro was far more shameless than he ever imagined.

"Byron is just putting on an act, Mr. Andrews," Jethro declared scornfully.

"How dare he be this arrogant when I've killed so many of his senior politicians? Furthermore, if he has the guts to declare war against us, why would he need to wait three days? That alone proves that he fears us."

Jerry thought Jethro had a point.

Byron wouldn't delay things if he knew for certain he could win the war.

"Guards!" Jerry abruptly called out.

The guards immediately rushed in, much to Jethro's alarm. They came straight for Jethro.
