The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 758 Investigation

Jerry explained, "The Masseys lost Caspian 20 years ago while they were on the run. As for what

exactly happened, I've only heard rumors that it was because some very important person mentioned

to the king that the Masseys were plotting to rebel against Diatoran."

Zane asked, "Dad, do you have any idea on how to prevent Caspian and Logan from reconciling?"

Jerry laughed and replied, "That's easy. With the king being basically a puppet for us to control, we can

just have His Majesty lie and sow discord between Caspian and Logan."

"What a great idea, Dad!"

…

Meanwhile, at Riverside Villa, Caspian was already asleep when his phone started ringing.

He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Laina.

Caspian accepted the call and asked, "Hello, Laina? Why are you calling me at a time like this?

Laina asked, "Sorry to bother you in the middle of the night, but can we talk right now?"

Laina wouldn't bother Caspian in the middle of the night if not for reporting something very important.

Caspian replied, "Just tell me about it."

Willow was also woken up by the phone call. She quietly watched from the side as Caspian continued

to talk with Laina.

Caspian went straight to business with Laina as he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings with

Willow.

He knew that she was especially sensitive to such matters.

Caspian had nothing to hide, but he didn't want to cause unnecessary drama with Willow.

Laina reported, "I found out about what happened at the King's residence during the night he was

attacked."

"What is it?"

"A group of uninvited guests appeared at the residence that night. And all of the guards at the mansion

were killed in battle."

Caspian was shocked.

He had already guessed that was what had happened, but he was still surprised to learn that Laina's

report confirmed it all.

Caspian asked, "Anything else?"

Laina replied, "Task Force Rose has already concluded the investigation. We found that the

assassination was organized by the Andrews family."

"Those bastards! It really is them!"

It was just as Caspian had already guessed, except that he didn't have any evidence back then.

"That's right. The Andrews family rebelled against Diatoran when you were away at Filren."

"Jerry, that bastard! I'm going to kill him!"

Laina explained, "The Andrews family had been plotting for a very long time. They are also the ones

who founded Skyarch Palace."

Caspian replied, "I see. I never even noticed just how much they've been plotting since the beginning."

He had always assumed that Jerry was just causing trouble because of their difference in personalities.

He never expected that the latter would actually be plotting such bold moves behind his back.

Laina continued, "That's right. Everything that happened recently is related to Jerry, one way or

another. More so when he immediately convinced the king to depose you after he became the advisor.

He had done so to prevent anyone else from threatening him."

Caspian replied, "I knew it! So the king really was being threatened."

However, he didn't understand why Balthazar didn't just ask him for help if he was being threatened by

Jerry.

Regardless, Caspian decided that he would rescue Balthazar no matter what.

Laina was confused. "But the king seems to be extremely compliant to every request from Jerry instead

of asking for help. It's weird.

"His Majesty would do everything Jerry advised him to do. For example, the peace talk with Filren was

all Jerry's doing."

Caspian asked, "I've always felt that something was wrong! Have you found out what it is that would

make the king be so compliant with Jerry?"

"Lord Caspian, we've already gathered enough evidence to prove that Jerry had been controlling the

king. We can move out anytime to eliminate the Andrews family and rescue His Majesty!"

"It's not that easy. Jerry's the king's trusted advisor, and his sons are both relatively high-ranking

officers now."

Laina replied, "But Lord Caspian, you still command quite a huge amount of respect among

Diatoranian troops. You only need to say the word, and all four Champions will be here to help!"

Caspian explained, "It's not as easy as you think. I may be good friends with the Champions, but they

aren't going to listen to my every whim. They might even think that I'm trying to start a rebellion if I ask

them for help directly."

"Then, what should we do? I've also heard that Jerry had sent an envoy for the peace talk with Filren.

But the Filrenian envoy made very excessive demands, including for Diatoran to cede the entire West

Aridlands to Filren!"

Caspian took a moment to analyze the current situation. "I feel rather helpless right now. If only I still

had my armored battalion with me, I would have already made my way to the Andrews residence.

"The only option we have now is to find out what it is that Jerry had on the king to be able to control him

like that. As long as His Majesty gave the order, all four Champions would have been able to fight

back!"

Laina replied, "I understand. I'll try to find out the truth as soon as possible."

Caspian hung up the call.

Willow then asked, "The Andrews family is holding the king hostage?"

She had heard the entire conversation between Caspian and Laina.

Caspian was furious. "That's right. I can't believe it's the Andrews family. Damn it!"

He didn't intend to hide anything from Willow.

"Don't worry. The Andrews family will face justice soon!"

"Do you have a plan?" This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"I can only wait for Laina to finish her investigation and find out what Jerry is using to threaten the king

before I form a plan."

Caspian replied, "I know. But you don't need to worry about this."

The couple then went back to sleep.

…

The next day, Jerry sent out his envoy to continue the negotiation with the Filren envoy at West

Aridlands.

Filren refused to budge with their demands.

And Diatoran was not going to agree to their outrageous requests.

The negotiation remained in a stalemate.

The Andrews family's actions had caused the Diatoranians to become outraged.

They were immensely disappointed that the Andrews family would have Diatoran lower its head to an

enemy country.

Patriots began to lead protests across the country.

Discussions and rumors around the Andrews family became a hot topic within Diatoran.

Jerry assigned his men to round up all of the protest leaders.

He had chosen the Skyarch Palace men to enact the dirty work.

They captured all of the civilians who had led the protests across the country and beat them into

submission.
