The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Why Isn’t Caspian Back Yet

A muted thud rang out. Blood splattered everywhere.

The subordinate’s face was covered in blood, but he was still alive!

“Lord Caspian! You…” Harry Lewis, the man who wanted to shield Caspian from the bullet, had frozen.

He

was staring at the scene in front of him in shock.

Blood was gushing out of Caspian’s right arm.

During that critical split second, Caspian stuck his arm out to shield Harry.

He had used his own arm to protect his subordinate!

The moment the bullet struck Caspian, his blood sprayed onto Harry’s face.

Caspian considered every one of his soldiers his kin. He could not stand by and allow Harry to die

protecting him from the bullet.

Furthermore, it was a special day today. He was not going to let anything happen to anyone!

Harry was stupefied to find that Lord Caspian of all people had shielded him from the bullet.

He was ready to die defending Caspian, but instead, it was Caspian who saved him.

Sylvia and the others were also thunderstruck to find that Caspian had been hit.

“Lord Caspian!” the crowd exclaimed as they rushed toward him.

Caspian used his left hand to grab Harry’s gun as he yelled, “Stop! Break out of the encirclement! That’s

the best form of defense!”

Then, he raised the gun, aimed at the mountain, and pulled the trigger.

All three shots he fired hit their marks. Every single enemy Caspian detected was killed in an instant!

Caspian was an expert marksman Even though his right arm was injured, he was just as skilled with his

left.

After hearing Caspian’s order, it finally dawned on Sylvia and the others that breaking through enemy

lines was the best way to protect him!

It was pointless for them to act as physical shields. The enemy had come prepared and would have

more than enough firepower. There were less than ten of them. If they did not break through the

encirclement,

sooner or later, they would all go down.

Once they all died, it was easy to predict what would become of Caspian.

When they realized the severity of the situation, they began to look for cover and launch a counterattack!

Since there were enemies on both sides, Caspian and his people split into two groups as well.

Caspian, Sylvia, and Caspian’s other subordinates were all experienced fighters who had survived

numerous battles.

Even under such dire circumstances, they were able to leverage the favorable terrain and rely on their

wealth of experience to mount a counterattack!

For the sake of cutting off Caspian’s retreat, the enemy had bombed all three of the off-road vehicles.

Meanwhile, back in Southlake City, Willow, Miranda, and Zoey were all dressed and ready for the

wedding. They were making their way over to Stewart Residence.

“Why do I feel anxious? I get the feeling that something bad is about to happen,” Willow said uneasily as

she sat in the car.

“Stop! Don’t say such things. Today’s going to be a good day. Maybe you’re just too nervous,” Zoey

suggested.

“You don’t need to be so nervous, Willow! I’m sure your husband has prepared a great surprise for you.”

Miranda knew that Caspian was wealthy, so she did not think much of it.

“But, ever since Caspian left in the middle of the night last night, I haven’t heard from him at all. I’m a

little

worried,” Willow said.

“If you’re worried, why don’t you give him a call? That’ll clear things up for you,” Miranda patted Willow

on

the shoulder and comforted.

“Okay.” Willow nodded. She had forgotten she could do that.

She took her phone out and called/Caspian.

Yet, Caspian’s phone was turned off.

Amid the chaos earlier, Caspian had left his phone in the vehicle, and the vehicle had been destroyed by

the enemy.

Both Caspian’s and Sylvia’s communication devices had all been destroyed. It made sense that Willow

could not get a hold of him.

After all, Caspian was fighting for his life right now!

“His phone’s off,” Willow said. She felt even more uneasy now.

“Why? Did he really run off?” Zoey asked. She was beginning to feel suspicious as well.

“You’re overthinking it. I’m sure Mr. Lynch is just doing this to give you a big surprise. That’s why he

turned

his phone off. He wants to appear before you when you least expect it.”

Miranda had total faith in Caspian. Was it not a piece of cake for the CEO of Southlake Corporation to

hold a grand wedding that would rock the entire Southlake City?

Willow abruptly recalled what Caspian said before he left. He told her to wait for him at Stewart

Residence no matter what. He said he would not let her down.

Caspian’s words and Miranda’s guesses seemed to match. Willow had to talk herself into believing that

Caspian was giving her a surprise.

“Alright, then. Either way, we’re all ready. We just need Caspian to show up. We’ll do as planned and

wait

for him at Stewart Residence!” Willow said as she exhaled.

When they arrived at Stewart Residence, the place was packed. All of the Stewart family’s relatives had This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

gathered there.

They were stunned to find that Miranda, the vice president of Southlake Corporation, had come as well.

“Ms. Barton, it is our honor to have you gracing us with your presence! Welcome! Do come in and have a

seat. We’re so glad that you have come to our home!” Donald, Alicia’s father, greeted Miranda

respectfully.

“You’re dressed as a bridesmaid, Ms. Barton. Are you here to be my Alicia’s bridesmaid?” Alicia’s mother

was all smiles as she asked.

“I’m here as Willow’s bridesmaid today,” Miranda declared.

The smile on Alicia’s mother’s face stiffened. She finally noticed Willow who was also dressed in a

wedding gown as she stood to the side.

Willow looked strikingly beautiful in her resplendent wedding gown. Before this, Donald and his wife did

not even realize that the gorgeous woman standing beside Miranda was Willow.

They only recognized Miranda and Zoey, the two women dressed as bridesmaids.

Miranda was the vice president of Southlake Corporation. Ordinarily, the Stewart family would not even

If they were able to strike up a good relationship with her, it would certainly make it easier for them to

collaborate with the company.

Still, upon hearing that Miranda was here to support Willow, the Stewart family became displeased.

Who would have thought that after only joining Southlake Corporation for a few days, Willow would

already be able to get Miranda to be her bridesmaid?

How did she manage to establish such a close relationship with Miranda?

Despite the questions they had, they still welcomed Miranda’s presence. After all, she was the vice

president of Southlake Corporation. In terms of social standing, few could compare to her.

On the other hand, no one greeted Willow. Since it was her family’s home, she and Zoey entered freely.

Alicia had just gotten ready as well. Beside her stood 20 bridesmaids who were all lavishly dressed.

“I never thought you’d be brave enough to come to Stewart Residence, Willow! You’re not afraid of

humiliating yourself at all!” Alicia sneered.

“This is my home. Why can’t I come back here?” Willow asked.

“Hah! Since you insist on torturing yourself, I’ll fulfill your wish. Richard and I have already invited the

most powerful people in all of Southlake City. What about you? Who have you invited as your guests?”

Alicia scoffed haughtily.

C

Alicia was secretly pleased that Willow had come. She would have been a little disappointed if the latter

had not shown up.

“Take a look. See how many people are here as my bridesmaids,” Alicia continued smugly.

“Many other people wanted to be my bridesmaids too, you know, but I rejected them. Look at you. How

pitiful. You only have two bridesmaids. Your bridal party can’t compare to mine at all!”

The moment Alicia finished speaking, she glanced at the bridesmaids standing beside Willow. To her

shock, one of them was Miranda. “Why are you here, Ms. Barton?”

“That’s right. I’m here as Willow’s bridesmaid,” Miranda replied.

“Willow, it’s one thing for you to humiliate yourself. Why are you dragging Ms. Barton down with you?”

Alicia mocked.

The Stewart family’s relatives began to pepper Willow with questions.

“Where are you having your wedding, Willow?”

“Which hotel did you book?”

Willow was a little flustered. “I don’t know where the venue is. Caspian made all the arrangements.”

As soon as she said that, everyone began to laugh in disdain.

“Seriously? Do you really think that useless piece of trash will give you a proper wedding ceremony?”

“The wedding’s about to start, but you don’t even know where the wedding ceremony is going to be? Are

you kidding me?”

“Hurry up and take that wedding gown off. I’m mortified on your behalf.”

Their comments left Willow feeling self-conscious and a little embarrassed.

Caspian and Sylvia were still caught in the fight.

The enemy had positioned themselves in advance. They did a good job of concealing themselves, too.

Furthermore, Tigra’s Apex Legion had undergone careful training and selection.

Caspian and his people were in a highly risky situation.

Soon, they ran out of bullets.

Just as the situation seemed hopeless, the sound of fighter jets rang out.

Dozens of fighter jets closed in.

They began firing missiles at both sides of the mountain.
