The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 740 The Ones Who Benefit the Most

Caspian also felt aroused when he heard Willow say that. However, that feeling soon disappeared. He

had just been dismissed as the God of War, and there was also the precarious situation with the king's

residence.

"Willow, I've just been removed from my post. And His Majesty is also currently surrounded by people

who don't have his best interests at heart. I just…"

"I know you've been feeling down, but this is my way of getting you to relax." Willow grinned.

"I'm worried that Jerry will make a move on me," Caspian said, worried.

"But you're no longer involved with the military. Why would Jerry do anything to you?" Willow asked,

confused.

"Jerry has always considered me an eyesore. Now is the perfect time for him to strike since I no longer

have any soldiers by my side."

"But…" Willow still didn't seem to get Caspian's words.

"I may have been stripped of my position, but I'm still a threat to Jerry. I used to be a Diatoranian God

of War, after all. If I wave a hand, there will be scores of people scrambling to support me.

"Jerry's not the kind of person who can stand to see someone turn their life around. He's sure to send

people after me and raise hell," Caspian explained.

Given the chance, Caspian would also strike when his opponent was at their weakest.

"Jerry is currently His Majesty's most trusted advisor, and he's also powerful. We no longer have the

protection of the armored soldiers. What can you do if Jerry attacks?" Willow frowned suddenly.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"As an advisor, he definitely can't openly make a move against me. He'll certainly get an assassin to kill

me instead. Don't worry. The average assassin is no match for me," Caspian said casually.

"You're right. You're such an amazing man. That worm, Jerry, certainly can't touch you." Willow nodded

rapidly.

"So, I want to improve myself quickly. Then, I can handle everything thrown at me in the future,"

Caspian stated seriously.

"Alright, you do you. It's important to make sure that you stay alive. We can do this again some other

time," Willow said.

"That's my thought as well."

Now that Caspian's sleepiness had left him entirely, he headed to the river behind the villa. There, he

began to study the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

…

The next day, Laina arrived in Diatoran through its tiny neighbor. She then immediately assigned Task

Force Rose to investigate the situation inside the king's residence.

Laina had already completed her earlier mission. She should be receiving a medal from Balthazar.

But now, Diatoran was in danger. She was in no mood to think about her owed accolades. Instead, she

should be helping Caspian figure out what had happened to Balthazar.

Jerry had already anticipated people looking into this state of affairs, so he disconnected all the

cameras within the king's residence. He had already made plans so he wouldn't make such a rookie

mistake.

With no camera footage, Task Force Rose couldn't find any incriminating evidence. So, they had to

take a different path of action.

Jerry didn't continue to sit around and twiddle his thumbs either. He began to distance Caspian's

supporters from him.

Now that Balthazar was under his control, Jerry was the one making the major decisions instead. And

so, he had the armored soldiers restationed in Tigra.

Since this was an order from Balthazar himself, the armored soldiers didn't dare to disobey.

Sylvia already knew Jerry's rationale, but she had no choice but to follow her orders.

One by one, everyone that Caspian had trained was stationed elsewhere.

And now, Caspian was all alone.

…

The transfer of Caspian's famed armored soldiers led to an uproar. Vadesia, Astronia, and Estrya

began making plans once they caught wind of this news.

With Caspian's removal and the armored soldiers moved to Tigra, now was the perfect chance to make

a move.

However, they didn't dare to act rashly, in case this was a ploy by Diatoran. So, they decided to stand

back and observe for a while longer.

No one could figure out why Balthazar would dismiss the War God, Caspian, so suddenly. This was just

weakening the nation's defenses. And with how sudden this development was, none of the other

countries dared to make a move yet.

Jerry had Balthazar give the order to transfer the armored soldiers so that he could further weaken

Caspian. They could only take down Caspian when he had no one to turn to.

Kelvin was also currently busy with getting in touch with Skyarch Palace. He had contacted them to

form his own troops of soldiers.

Zane had also created his own intelligence department. He then sent out some Skyarch Palace

members to gather information. Anyone who dared to question the Andrews family would then be

punished.

The rest of the Diatoranian officials didn't dare to offend the Andrewses. They knew that the Andrews

family was now the king's darling. In fact, many officials began to curry favor with them.

…

Caspian spent the next two days studying the Eldorian Scroll fragment he had.

The Stewarts initially wanted to attack Caspian. But they didn't dare to make their way to Riverside

Villa. All they did was hold onto their anger.

Tom and Aria made a full recovery with Avon treating them. They could now fully return to their duties.

That night, Laina called Caspian.

"Lord Caspian, Task Force Rose has discovered something," Laina stated.

"Speak," Caspian said, worked up by this piece of news.

"I think there's more to it. The ones who were killed were most likely His Majesty's own guards!" Laina

said.

Caspian's expression turned stiff.

"How do you know? Do you have proof?" he asked.

Caspian was shocked by this piece of news. He had thought this a possibility, but there hadn't been

any proof until now.

It seemed that Balthazar was truly in a den of wolves now.

"Since these assassins have successfully infiltrated His Majesty's residence, why didn't they do

anything to him?" Caspian asked.

"I'm guessing that they're holding His Majesty hostage. They can then do anything they want this way,"

Laina said.

"Have you found out who's behind all this?" Caspian asked anxiously. This was the key thing he

wanted to know.

"If my guess is right, then it's the Andrewses. They benefit the most from this arrangement.

"Jerry, Kelvin, and Zane have all climbed to high positions. With that in mind, it makes sense that

they're the masterminds," Laina said.
