“Why are you only telling me about Caspian’s background now?” Wylie asked as he fixed his eyes on Th
e Reaper.
“Caspian killed Leonardo and many of my friends. He’s even trying to go up against you now, Lord Jenni
ngs, so I hope you will eliminate him! By doing so, not only will you be upholding your dignity, but you’ll al
so be avenging Sir Leon!” The Reaper declared fiercely.
“Hah!” Wylie scoffed.
The Reaper had not given up yet.
In the past, Wylie would have found some excuse to brush off The Reaper.
But now, Caspian was a threat to Mahayan Pavilion, and he would not be happy if he did not get rid of C
aspian!
“You said it yourself. Caspian has a mysterious background. He’s not someone I can kill just because I w
ant to!” Wylie retorted.
He was not a fool. After seeing how arrogant Caspian was yesterday, he knew that Caspian had to come
from an incredibly powerful background.
Also, he knew Leonardo’s death was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Leonardo was a tier–
three expert, and The Reaper was also an expert in the use of inner strength. Yet, one had died at Caspi
an’s hands, and the other fled to Easton–too afraid to take revenge.
Anyone with half a mind could tell that Caspian was no pushover.
It would be foolish for Wylie to attack Caspian before figuring out just who the latter truly was.
And as the master of Mahayan Pavilion, Wylie would not make such a silly mistake.
Leonardo had been killed because of his carelessness. He
Caspian, but in the end, all of his men died at Caspian’s le could easily deal with
The Reaper was not surprised by Wylie’s hesitance. He saw it coming.
“Lord Jennings, I know of a way to get rid of Caspian!” The Reaper declared.
“Tell me quickly!” Wylie urged.
“Caspian has offended many people, including the York family from Dhord City. We can find at way to ally
with them to kill Caspian!” The Reaper shared.
In reality, he had come up with the plan to deal with Caspian a long time ago.
As long as Wylie reached out to the York family from Dhord City and suggested a partnership, there was
a high chance the family would agree.
“Oh? Is that so? I didn’t expect Caspian to have so many enemies. He even offended the York family fro
m Dhord City, huh? Guess he’s done for this time!” Wylie remarked with a sneer.
Although the Yorks of Dhord City were not one of the top families, they were still considered an elite famil
y.
If Mahayan Pavilion joined forces with the Yorks, even if everyone else in Easton worked together, the lat
ter would still fail to defeat the former.
“Mr. Flynn, I’ll have to trouble you to make the trip
to Dhord City and get in touch with the Yorks,” Wylie said to Homer.
“Yes, Lord Jennings. I’ll go right away!” Homer replied with a nod. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
At last, The Reaper exhaled in relief.
As long as Mahayan Pavilion and the Yorks worked together, Caspian would not be leaving Easton alive!
As soon as Celestia returned home to her family in Dhord City, she immediately informed her father, Wen
dell York, of what happened in Southlake City. He was the current head of the York family in Dhord City.
“Dad! Someone bullied me! You have to stand up for me! That guy Caspian Lynch not only killed Leonard
o, but he even made us lose so many assets! And worst of all, he brutally murdered Mr. Bassett!” Celesti
a reported.
“How dare he!” Wendell fumed as he slammed his hand against the stone table in front of him.
“Who’s this Caspian Lynch? What’s his background? How dare he go against us? Does he think we’re p
ushovers?” Wendell continued raging.
He was not furious over Adam’s death or his daughter getting bullied. What infuriated him the most was L
eonardo’s death. It meant that the York family in Dhord City would be losing a lot
of resources.
Throughout these years, the Yorks managed to rise to the ranks of a lesser–
known elite family in Dhord City mainly because Leonardo had given them most of the resources he gath
ered in the Two Lakes area.
Now that Leonardo was dead, the York family was
basically losing all of the businesses and resources in the area.
For the time being, it would not have much of an effect on the Yorks, but in the long run, their
The power balance in Dhord City was complicated. All of the elite families were looking for
opportunities to boost their standing.
If their influence started to fall, the other elite families would seize the chance to bring them down.
If that happened, the Yorks in Dhord City would be in a perilous situation.
“Dad, you’ll help me get revenge, right?” Celestia quickly asked.
All along, she had a peaceful and easy life in Dhord City. She thought she would not have any problems
reclaiming some assets during her trip to the Two Lakes area.
Who would have thought that she would suffer at Caspian’s hands and even get slapped?
When had she ever been treated with such disrespect?
Celestia could not let things slide just like that.
However, Wendell did not rush into a decision. If Caspian could easily deal with Leonardo, the kingpin in
the Two Lakes area, that meant he had a few tricks up his sleeve.
Furthermore, Adam and Leonardo were both martial arts experts. They were no slouches in fights.
This was especially true of Leonardo, who was about to reach his peak as a tier–
three expert, but he, too, had been killed by Caspian.
That alone proved Caspian’s might.
With such power, he could even gain prominence in Dhord City.
Before figuring out Caspian’s background, Wendell dared not make any hasty decisions.
If Caspian came from a powerful background, the Yorks would only be walking to their doom if they attac
ked him recklessly.
Celestia saw the uncertainty in Wendell’s expression. She was frustrated, but she dared not say anything
.
She knew full well that Wendell had total control over the York family. No one could change his mind or try
A few days later, Celestia and Wendell were having tea together when the family butler came in and said,
“Who is it?” Wendell asked puzzledly.
“He says he’s an elder from Mahayan Pavilion in Easton, and he’s here to discuss a partnership with you,
“A partnership?”
Wendell was confused.
Mahayan Pavilion was the strongest faction in Easton and on par with the Yorks in terms of power.
However, the two did not have any dealings with each other, so why was Mahayan Pavilion approaching h
“Lead him in,” Wendell instructed.
Half a minute later, Homer came in.
“Greetings, Mr. York. I’m Homer Flynn, an elder of Malayan Pavilion.”
Wendell eyed Homer and asked, “If I recall correctly, the Yorks and Mahayan Pavilion don’t have any deal
“I’m here under the orders of Lord Jennings, the master of Mahayan Pavilion. He wants me to discuss a p
“A common enemy? Please clarify,” Wendell said with a frown.
“I’m sure you’re familiar with the name Caspian Lynch, right, Mr. York?” Homer asked.
Caspian Lynch!
As soon as Wendell heard the name, he jumped to his feet.
For the past few days, he had been trying to think of a way to deal with Caspian.
And, by sheer coincidence, Mahayan Pavilion sought to join forces with him to do just that! Caspian seem
“Is there a conflict between Caspian and Mahayan Pavilion?” Wendell asked.
“That’s right,” Homer replied. “Immediately after showing up in Easton, Caspian convinced Celestial Sanc
