Chapter 696 The Ambitions of the Andrews Family
"You can't go!" Caspian said firmly.
"Why not?" Willow asked.
"You're the Diatoranian God of War's wife, and Henry's a defector. You must never attend such
occasions!" Caspian explained.
"But Henry's dead! Also, I happen to be his cousin. I should be there to send him off one last time!"
Willow said.
"It's true that he's dead, but his reputation as a defector is still very much alive. You're the wife of the
Diatoranian God of War. If news were to spread about you attending a defector's funeral, where can I
go to hide my face?
"You'd also be criticized!" Caspian said.
"Fine. I guess I'll just stay home, then." In fact, Willow also felt that it was inappropriate for her to attend
Henry's funeral. She had only wanted to ask Caspian for his opinion.
"Willow, you must remember that you're the wife of the Diatoranian God of War. Every move that you
make may attract the people's attention. So you have to be careful in your words and deeds," Caspian
said.
"I understand. I'll pay attention to it next time." Willow was starting to feel the pressure of being the
Diatoranian God of War's wife.
She could no longer do as she pleased like before.
Following this, Caspian and Willow sat in the living room and chatted with Sherry and Cecilia.
"Caspian, Willow, I'm sure it's been a tiring day for the two of you. Get an early night's rest," Sherry
said, feeling a little tired.
"Yes, Sherry. Both of you must be frightened from today's incident too, so go to bed early," Willow said.
"I got it. I'll go to bed after seeing the two of you go into your room," Sherry said.
She really wanted Caspian and Willow to have a child now. This way, she would not feel bored when
she stayed in the villa by herself.
"Why must you push this on us, Mom?" Caspian said rather helplessly.
He could only bring Willow into their bedroom.
Sherry and Cecilia also went back to their bedroom for the night.
After going through a major incident like that, coupled with the long-distance traveling, both of them had
been tired for some time now.
This was the first time that Cecilia was sleeping in such a nice bedroom. She slept soundly.
It was also the first time in days that Sherry could get a peaceful sleep.
In the room, Caspian and Willow had already washed up.
"Willow, my mom wants a grandchild. How about we have a kid?" Caspian looked at Willow
affectionately and said.
"But 'm not in the mood today, hubby," Willow said with a sad face.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling down?" Caspian asked.
"Yeah, because Henry died just like that. I feel a little unsettled. Even though he became a defector, we
still grew up together.
"There's still some attachment there," Willow said.
Hearing this, Caspian became stunned for a moment.
"I have no intention of having children now," Willow said, shaking her head.
Caspian would never force Willow. Between married couples, there should be harmony.
"Oh right. Have you found out anything about my birth mother?" Willow suddenly asked.
"As of now, there are no updates. But I've already asked Task Force Rose to investigate. We should be
able to locate her very soon," Caspian said.
"That's good. I want to know what my birth mom looks like as well," Willow said thoughtfully.
"Don't worry. With the help of Task Force Rose, we'll be able to find her sooner or later," Caspian
comforted.

Meanwhile, at the Kline Residence in Dhord City, Jerry called his sons—Kelvin and Zane—over as
soon as he returned home.
"Dad, you've just returned and haven't managed to get a rest. Why have you called us over?" Kelvin,
the eldest son, asked.
"Your sister has been executed by Caspian in Churron," Jerry said.
"We already heard about this news before you came home, Dad. Caspian's a real dick. He doesn't
even respect you," Zane fumed.
"Dad, since the martial arts experts we're training are already powerful now, we might as well take this
opportunity to launch a mutiny and kill His Majesty and Caspian. That way, we can get our revenge!"
Kelvin, the eldest son, said.
"Absolutely not. Now's not the time. We must wait patiently for an opportunity," Jerry shouted sternly.
"Dad! How much longer do we have to wait? There are a lot of eternal grandmasters among the expert
martial artists. Now, the King's bodyguards have been killed in West Aridlands, leaving only Lyndon as
the armchair general.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!" Kelvin said.
"He's right. As long as we let these expert martial artists storm into the King's residence, we can
definitely capture the King alive! When that time comes, the entire Diatoran will be under our control!"
Zane chimed in.
"I guess you're all still too young. Do you really think that there are only so many people by His
Majesty's side? His Majesty's guards might've been annihilated, but there are still powerful guards
protecting His Majesty.
"Their powers are unfathomable. We must never act rashly before we're completely sure," Jerry said.
"Dad, are you afraid? Our expert martial artists can definitely defeat hundreds of enemies by
themselves. We might as well capture His Majesty alive!" Kelvin said.
"This is now the best opportunity for us to strike because the guards protecting His Majesty are scarce.
If we wait any longer, His Majesty will definitely recruit new guards. When that happens, we won't have
the chance to strike anymore," Zane said urgently. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"Do you know what will happen once you make a move? Our entire family will embark on a journey of
no return. If you want to make something happen, it must be foolproof.
"Otherwise, Quinton will be the herald of our fate. We might even end up like the Archer and Hudson
families of Southlake City and be obliterated! This matter requires long-term consideration.
"Both of you are still too young and impulsive," Jerry advised earnestly.
The two brothers looked at each other and nodded, saying, "We'll listen to you, Dad!"
"Oh right, we must not let the others know about our recruitment of the expert martial artists, especially
Task Force Rose," Andrew ordered again.
"Don't worry. We've arranged for these expert martial artists to be located in a secluded place. Their
current task is to study martial arts without leaving at all," Kelvin said.
"We've gotten rid of some of the elite families of the traditional martial arts who were unwilling to help
our family!" Zane said with a smile.
"Well done. It must be kept a secret. Once anybody knows about this matter, our family will be in
danger," Jerry said.
"We understand. However, the son of the leader of Greenton from West City escaped from our
clutches," Kelvin said.
"What happened? How could you let such an important person run away?" Jerry asked with a somber
look on his face.
"Five or six months ago, we went to Greenton in West City to try and win them over. However, the
leader was not willing to join us. We had no choice but to destroy Greenton."
"But the leader, Kael Forrest, had a peerless treasure blade with infinite power. He risked his life to
protect his son. In the end, we manage to kill Kael after fighting for several hours.
"However, his son managed to escape."
Kelvin recounted the event from a few months ago to his father.
Jerry had been busy with governmental affairs and seldom concerned himself with household affairs.
"Oh right, what's the name of the kid that got away?" Jerry asked.
