Lord Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Treason

“Yes, my lord!” Julian and Sylvia answered unanimously.

“Sylvia, you’ve gotten everything done for the memorial service, right?” Caspian checked again.

“Caspian, you don’t have to worry about the tasks under me. Everything is ready,” Sylvia replied.

“That’s good. Keep an eye on Ezekiel and the rest. Execute them at the memorial service tomorrow!” Caspian said coldly.

“Don’t worry, Lord Caspian. They can’t escape,” Julian assured.

“Remember what I’ve said, don’t call me Lord. The soldiers can address me as Caspian, Caspian said.

“Yes, Caspian!” Julian nodded.

Soon afterward, everyone got into Joey’s car and was ready to leave.

Caspian was in the driver’s seat. The car sped away, leaving the Cliff of Death behind.

After they left, the three ladies felt surreal when they reflected on everything that had happened just now.

They

had never encountered such a situation before, let alone witnessed such a magnificent scene. Corpses were scattered everywhere, and just thinking about it made them feel horrified.

Despite Willow and Zoey having seen bloody scenes before, those were not worth mentioning compared to what they saw today.

“Chief Sanders, how’s your condition?” Caspian asked while driving.

“I’m fine, just feeling a little lightheaded because of the blood loss,” Joey answered.

“Do

you have time tomorrow to attend my foster mother’s memorial service?” Caspian asked.

Joey had helped a lot for the past few nights, so Caspian decided to invite her to the memorial service.

“You’re hosting a memorial service for your foster mother?” Joey asked surprisingly.

“Yes. My foster mother sacrificed herself to save others. I wasn’t in Southlake City at that time. I was at South Aridlands and didn’t know about the news. Her departure was too tragic, so I want to hold a solemn memorial service for her,” Caspian said.

“I see. Your foster mother was indeed admirable. I’ll be there tomorrow,” said Joey.

At this moment, Willow said, “Chief Sanders, since you’re joining the memorial service tomorrow, how about staying overnight at our place? It’s already late, and you’re injured.”

“Would that be inconvenient for you?” Joey asked hesitantly.

“Of course not. There are still many empty rooms at our place,” Willow assured.

“Right, you stay at our place so then I don’t have to send you back,” Caspian added.

“Then I’ll accept the invitation,” Joey agreed since both Caspian and Willow warmly invited

her.

“Ms. Barton, it’s already midnight, and you’ve been through a shock. How about you come together to stay at my place?” Willow

suggested to Miranda, who was sitting next to her.

“Sure.” Nodding, accepted the invitation without hesitance.

The scene of bloodshed from tonight still replayed in her mind. She didn’t dare to stay alone at home.

After they arrived at Riverside Villa, Willow picked two rooms that had been cleaned up for Joey and Miranda to stay.

Zoey slept in a room with Willow.

Zachary kept waiting for the news at the Two Lakes Governor’s Building.

He looked at the time and saw that it was almost midnight, so he made a call to Nadia. He

wanted to check on the situation there…

To his surprise, she couldn’t be reached no matter what.

Later, he tried calling Samuel but still couldn’t get through.

Zachary was puzzled. He had no idea what had happened.

He also attempted to call other members of the Yorks, but the results were the same–none of the calls went through.

Zachary didn’t feel good about it, and a bad premonition surged within him.

After that, he called the Inspector General’s office to

get some news.

“Hello?” responded the person who was on duty in the Inspector General’s office.

“I’m Zachary, the regional chief of Two Lakes,” Zachary stated his identity directly.

“C–Chief Zachary!” The inspector who answered the call was startled upon hearing that it was Zachary who called.

“Why can’t Inspector Ezekiel’s phone be reached?” Zachary asked directly.

“Inspector Ezekiel and the others have turned off their phones. It has been like this the entire. night,” said the inspector.

“Is there any special operation going on in Southlake City?” Zachary tried to ask. He had a feeling that things didn’t go well.

“Yes, there is. And it’s a very large–scale operation!” the inspector answered.

“What operation is it?” Frowning, Zachary asked.

“Tonight, a grand legion suddenly invaded Southlake City and surrounded the Inspector General’s office,” the inspector answered. Thinking of what had happened tonight, he was still afraid.

“Legion? Do you know why the legion besieged the Inspector General’s office?” Zachary asked doubtfully.

As the regional chief of Two Lakes, Zachary was very sensitive to this kind of news–especially tonight at this time.

“They were looking for Inspector Ezekiel and Caspian,” the inspector answered.

“What? Did they find them?” Zachary was extremely shocked.

Things seemed to be beyond his control.

“Yes, they did. It seems they used satellite positioning to locate them. After that, the legion immediately turned around and headed toward the Cliff of Death,” the inspector explained.

Zachary shook, causing his phone to fall to the ground from his hand.

“What’s wrong, Chief Zachary?” the inspector asked.

Zachary’s emotions were so complicated now that he picked up the phone and hung up the call. directly.

He knew that Ezekiel would be carrying out the plans on the Cliff of Death. The three forces were planning to kill Caspian tonight.

The legion, which appeared all of a sudden and rushed toward the Cliff of Death, was obviously going to rescue Caspian.

Zachary had always had a vague feeling that Caspian’s identity was not as straightforward.

Now, he was more certain of this thought. Caspian was definitely not an ordinary soldier. How could someone capable of mobilizing an entire army be ordinary?

As a regional chief, his analytic skills definitely weren’t lacking.

Now, it was likely that something had happened to the Yorks.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, he couldn’t escape from the blame.

This time, it seemed there would be no turning point.

Zachary didn’t intend to sit idly by.

He wanted to leave the Two Lakes area.

However, it was already midnight. There was nowhere he could go even if he fled now.

After careful consideration, Zachary decided to go to the Embassy of Tigra to seek help.

He had always had close ties with Tigra. In the current urgent situation, the most sensible choice was to find a strong backer.

As long as he entered the Embassy of Tigra, no one would dare to touch him.

Hence, Zachary packed up some important items and drove to the Embassy of Tigra alone.

At 3:00 am, Caspian received a call.

He rubbed his eyes. It was John who called.

“Lord Caspian, this is John,” John said from the other end of the call.

“What’s the matter?” Caspian asked.

“The team I sent to Zachary’s residence reported that Zachary escaped overnight!” said John. “Escape? To?” Caspian asked.
