Chapter 58 Too Late

Caspian was not fond of having worshippers. He just wanted to keep a low profile as he reunited with Willow back in Southlake City.

“Who knows if Willow will be happy? But I’m sure my mom would be elated to find me safely ́returning after a great victory! I’ll have to bring her out for an exquisite dinner tonight to celebrate my return!” said Caspian with a big smile.

The thought of Lilith being happy and proud of him made Caspian happy as well.

“Of course! I’ll make the arrangements for dinner, we’ll have some drinks to celebrate as well, “I answered Sylvia.

When their car approached Riverside Villa, Caspian noticed a woman with an outstanding figure surrounded by six men in suits.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the woman in trouble was in fact his wife, Willow!

He wondered what these men were trying to do. Also, who were they?

“Stop the car. I want to see what’s going on over there,” Caspian calmly declared.

“Yes, sir.” Sylvia parked the car and quickly noticed as well that the woman in trouble was

Willow.

“Ms. Stewart, Derek had stated his wishes for you to attend Mrs. York Senior’s birthday party with him… Preferably as his girlfriend.”

The man leading the group was Benedict York, a butler of the York family.

“In his dreams! I don’t want anything to do with the Yorks! He just killed my mother–in–law, and still dares to invite me to a party? He’s shameless!” Willow furiously retorted.

She had not expected Derek to be so brazen, to be aiming for her as a significant other right after killing Lilith.

“Mind your words, Ms. Stewart! You should be honored to be chosen by Derek himself! Know your place!” Benedict’s expression sank as he coldly exclaimed.

“What are you trying to do?” Willow immediately sensed that something was not right.

“You won’t be getting away today! You will be going to the birthday party, willingly or not!” Benedict waved his hands at the other men.

The gang of men stepped up and began to forcefully carry Willow away.

“Let me go, right now! I’m already a married woman! I couldn’t possibly be Derek’s girlfriend! “shouted Willow.

“I’ve heard that your good–for–nothing husband had left for the frontlines in South Aridlands. I reckon that he’s lying among the corpses right now. Might as well move on and become Derek’s woman, if you know what’s good for you.” Benedict put on a sinister smile.

“Let me go! Help! Anyone, please help! Help!” Willow began to struggle and shouted for help.

Sylvia was furious as she witnessed the scene unfold. She wondered if the hooligans were seeking an early death trying to mess with the wife of the Diatoranian God of War.

“Caspian, look! Those bastards are trying to hurt Willow! I’ll go and teach them a lesson.” Sylvia was ready to get out of the car.

“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it,” replied Caspian with annoyance.

He could not possibly hold himself back after returning to Southlake City just to find his own wife being bullied.

“Just leave these hooligans to me, Caspian,” answered Sylvia.

“It’s only natural for me to save my own wife!” Caspian’s tone became cold and murderous as he stepped out of the car.

Sylvia froze for a moment before following closely behind him.

As Willow was about to be dragged into a car, a thunderous roar came from behind the group of men. “Stop right there!”

The sudden loud roar left the group of men slightly disoriented.

They turned around to find a sturdy–looking man striding toward them. His intention to fight was clear, as his gaze was piercing deep into their b*dy.

Behind the man followed a woman with an exquisite, graceful figure. She also parroted the

man’s furious demeanor.

Willow was surprised upon recognizing that the two of them were Caspian and Sylvia.

“Who the fuck are you? This has nothing to do with you, piss off! Otherwise, you’re making enemies with the York family!” Benedict had completely no idea who the man before him was.

“Nothing to do with me, you say? I am Willow’s husband, Caspian Lynch,” answered Caspian as he stared daggers into Benedict.

“Caspian?” Benedict was taken aback by the man claiming to be WIllow’s husband.

Rumors about Caspian claimed that he was a complete good–for–nothing, but the man standing before Benedict right now seemed powerful.

“Oh, I see! So, you’re the rumored loser of a husband! It must be a miracle that you did not die in the South Aridlands. Well, Derek would love to rescue your wife from a sorry excuse of a man like you! Not that you can do anything about—”

Benedict had his speech cut short by Caspian’s fist.

Thuds could be heard as Caspian’s fist connected with his targets at lightning speed. All six men were collectively hit in an instant.

Cries of pain followed suit as all six men fell down to the floor.

They never even managed to see Caspian’s attacks before they fell to the ground.

“Willow, are you okay? Sorry, I’m late!” Caspian began to console the frightened Willow.

“You’re late! It’s too late! It’s all … too late.” Willow began to lash out.

Caspian was stunned, as he did not understand what Willow was trying to convey.

“Willow, please calm down! Let’s talk about it, okay?” Sylvia intercepted the couple after noticing Willow’s abnormal behavior.

“Willow, what exactly happened?” asked Caspian.

“It can’t be explained with just a few words … I’ll tell you all about it when we get home,”

answered Willow.

Caspian nodded in agreement. “You’re right, let us go home.”

“Caspian, what should we do with these people?” asked Sylvia.

“They can fuck off.” Caspian waved his hand, seemingly uninterested in the men he just

defeated.

“You heard the man! Now fuck off and never come back!” Sylvia lifted her legs and kicked

Benedict.

The group of men then crawled back to their car and swiftly escaped.

Caspian and Willow finally returned to their home.

He entered the house to find Kate leisurely lying on the sofa, watching television.

“Mrs. Stewart, I’m back from the South Aridlands!” shouted Caspian.

Kate was shocked by Caspian’s return. “You’re back so soon! This is great news! You’re safe

and sound.”

Kate did not want to see Caspian as she was still unsure of how to disclose the news of Lilith’s death to him.

‘Peace has returned to the South Aridlands, and so, I have returned home!” exclaimed Caspian.

He began to look around for Lilith as he questioned, “Where’s my mom?”

“She… She’s gone back to the countryside.” Kate casually made up an excuse for Lilith’s absence. She was afraid of revealing the truth to him just yet.

“When did that happen? Why?” asked Caspian.

“She said that she couldn’t get used to life in the city, and so she went back to calm her nerves, “Kate answered nervously.
