The Almighty Lord Caspian
Chapter 767 Balthazarâs Private Call
âWhatâs going on? Why is there a pit here? It looks like the soil has just been dug up. Could someone have taken the scroll?â Aria said worriedly.
Tom quickly knelt and started digging through the soil with his hands.
But no matter how hard he searched, there was no trace of the scroll.
Tomâs heart was in turmoil. The Black Moon Technique Scroll was missing!
âShit! The scroll has been stolen!â Tom was in a panic.
âAre you sure you hid it here?â Caspian asked.
âI remember it clearly. It was right here. Itâs really gone,â Tom answered, feeling helpless.
He finally decided to practice the Black Moon Technique, only to discover that the scroll had been stolen.
âIt means someone from Three Poisons Hall survived and took the scroll before us,â Aria analyzed.
âDamn it!â Tom gritted his teeth and pounded the ground with his fists.
âNow that itâs happened, thereâs no use regretting it,â Caspian consoled.
âLord Caspian, the Black Moon Technique Scroll is a family heirloom. My revenge depends on it.
âBut now that the scroll is gone, I canât improve my strength. It seems I wonât be able to avenge Greenton or my father,â Tom said. Tears were welling up in his
eyes.
âCalm down, Tom. This is all my fault. If it werenât for me, your scroll wouldnât have been lost,â Miranda said, feeling guilty.
As soon as she said that, she started crying too.
âEnough of this crying. Iâll eradicate Skyarch Palace. You two donât need to worry about it,â Caspian said calmly.
âLord Caspian, are you serious? Skyarch Palace has many experts! I heard they even have many innate grandmasters! What if youâre not their match?â Tom expressed his concern.
âInnate grandmasters are considered strong? I became an innate grandmaster when I was 18 years old. Theyâre just a bunch of ants to me,â Caspian said

confidently with a smirk.
âWhat?â Tom was stunned by Caspianâs words.
Was Caspian bragging? Innate grandmasters were extremely rare in Diatoran, and Caspian became one at 18 years old? Just how strong was he now?
âLetâs focus on what to do next,â Caspian said. He rarely mentioned his strength to others.
âMaybe the person who stole the scroll hasnât gone far yet. We might be able to retrieve it if we chase them now,â Aria suggested.
âItâs too late. They arrived ahead of us even though we drove here. It shows that they have exceptional speed. Thereâs no point in wasting our efforts,â Caspian said calmly.
For Caspian, even if Skyarch Palace had the Black Moon Technique Scroll, they still wouldnât be a match for him.
After that, Caspian drove the car and took everyone back to Riverside Villa.
In less than an hour, they arrived home.
âCaspian is finally back!â Cecilia exclaimed as soon as the car stopped.
Following her voice was the aroma of food.
âCecilia, why arenât you staying at the dorm today?â Caspian asked.
âCaspian, itâs the weekend. Did you forget?â Cecilia chuckled.
Then, Willow also came out.
âYouâre finally back!â Willow was relieved to see everyone return safely.
Apart from Tom suffering from some injuries, everyone else was unharmed. âWillow, Iâm sorry for making you worry,â Tom said awkwardly.
âItâs okay. As long as youâre back safely, thatâs what matters. Come on in,â Willow said with a smile.
âWillow, I think I smelled food,â Caspian said.
âMom said Tom and Miranda havenât eaten. And since Cecilia is back, she made another meal,â Willow explained.
Caspian entered the kitchen and saw Sherry busy inside.
âMom, you donât have to cook. Iâll hire someone,â Caspian said, feeling sorry.

He originally intended for Sherry to enjoy her retirement, but she was still working so hard.
âNo need. Itâs just cooking. If you donât let me do anything, Iâll feel bored at home,â Sherry said.
She wasnât the kind of person who enjoyed idling around. After so many years, she had gotten used to a busy life.
She would feel uneasy if she didnât do anything all day.
Willow was about to bring out the dishes, but Cecilia entered the kitchen first.â You shouldnât be doing this, Willow. Just wait to eat.
âCaspian, why are you standing there? Arenât you worried Willow might hurt herself?â
Obviously, Cecilia also knew about Willowâs pregnancy.
Willow glanced at Caspian awkwardly. The latter shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
âWillow, we need to hurry,â Caspian whispered in Willowâs ear.
Willow blushed, unsure of what to say. It wouldnât be possible in these few days. She was having her period.
Sensing the harmonious atmosphere between Caspian and Willow, Sherry couldnât stop smiling.
This was the life she had always wanted. She didnât need wealth or status. Just seeing her family happy made her feel content.
Just then, Caspian received a call on his phone.
At first, he thought it was Laina calling, but when he checked, it was Balthazarâs private number.
Caspian was surprised. Was Balthazar calling because he was out of danger?
Caspian quickly went into the bedroom and closed the door.
âYes, Your Majesty?â Casplan spoke softly after answering the call.
âCaspian, Iâve received information that youâve been associating with some unpleasant individuals. Although you no longer hold an official position, youâd better not cause trouble.â It was Balthazarâs voice.
However, Casplan felt something was off.
âYour Majesty, I havenât done anything inappropriate. Some martial artists appeared in Southlake City, and I was just defending myself,â Caspian said.
He noticed Balthazarâs unusual tone, but he still showed his respect.
âWhat does that have to do with you? The inspectors will handle such matters. Just behave yourself. If I find out youâre on a killing spree, Iâll send people to arrest you,â Balthazar bellowed.
If Caspian hadnât heard Balthazarâs words himself, he would have thought he was hallucinating.
These words werenât something Balthazar would say.
Suddenly, Caspian realized that Balthazar had yet to be out of danger. That was why he was saying such things.
