Back in Lilith’s house, Casplan was immersed in nostalgia. He’d spent all his childhood
here in this little house happily. Caspian was engulfed by sorrow and could not accept the
sudden passing of Lilith, his foster mother.
Sylvia stayed by Caspian’s side. She could only accompany him because she did not know
how to comfort him.
The York family already knew that Caspian was just an ordinary soldier. However, they
obtained news that Caspian and Sylvia went to Quentin’s turf last night and killed many
people. Since the Flying Dragons did not seem to react to that, the York family also dared
not do anything recklessly.
At the same time, the York family also feared Sylvia’s position as a general officer. When
they noticed Sylvia was being very respectful toward Caspian, they were even more
cautious about taking action.
They even wanted to wait for the Flying Dragons to make the first move. After all, the York
family was not in a rush since there were still a few days to prepare. However, the Flying
Dragons had Victor as their strategist, so they would not act directly.
Both factions had the same idea. No one wanted to make the first move.
Willow made dinner and ate with Zoey. After dinner, Zoey kept doing her own thing. Willow
sat restlessly on the sofa alone.
At 9:30 pm, Willow said to Zoey, “Zoey, I need to go out.”
“What? It’s so late. Do you need to go out?” Zoey asked in confusion.
“It’s none of your business. I’ll come back later,” said Willow.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry. Just do your work,” said Willow.
“Sure. Come back soon. Be careful on the way,” said Zoey.
Willow put the briefcase full of cash into her car and drove the Rolls Royce to the outskirts
of Southlake City to meet the assassin.
Meanwhile, in Lilith’s house, Sylvia spoke.
“Lord Caspian, I got the news that the corps outside of Southlake City are prepared to
move.”
“I’ve told you many times not to address me as Lord Caspian. Remember. Ask them not to
act. recklessly and be on standby,” Caspian said.

“Yes, Caspian. Do you know who the leader of the corps is?” asked Sylvia
“Aren’t you the one who gathers all the Information? How would I know?” Caspian said.
“It is a group from the South Aridlands division led by the staff officer of the South
Aridlands. war zone, Julian Lawson,” Sylvia said in agitation.
“What? Why is Julian here in Southlake City instead of guarding the South Aridlands?”
Caspian was shocked and asked.
“The men from the South Aridlands knew Madam Ziegler was killed. All of them wanted to
avenge her! They were all the men you led before. Each of them is strong enough to take
on ten men!” Sylvia said.
“That’s too much. We don’t need them to be here for a small matter like this. Ask them to
return to the South Aridlands,” Caspian said helplessly.
Sending a group to Southlake City just to get rid of the York family and the Flying Dragons
was overkill. The firepower was enough to destroy the city.
“Caspian, since they are already here, let’s ask them to wait outside the city. Besides, they
came here because they’ve received an order from the higher–ups,” Sylvia said.
“Why would the higher–ups know about my foster mother’s death?” Caspian asked.
“Well… I told them,” Sylvia lowered her head and said in a soft voice.
“That’s overkill! Bringing a few men over is enough to take care of the York family and the
Flying Dragons. Why make a big fuss?” Caspian said.
“These are the higher–ups‘ orders. They asked John to pick the men to stand outside of
Southlake City. It also fulfilled the South Aridlands‘ soldiers‘ request to avenge you,” Sylvia
said.
“South Aridlands is peaceful now. If they want to stay, just let them stay,” Caspian said.
“I also got some news. Ezekiel Parker, the head of the Inspector General’s Office of
Southlake City lacks integrity. He worked with the Flying Dragons in secret and also helped
the York family cover their tracks. Not only do we need to get rid of the York family and
Flying Dragons, but also the Inspector General’s Office as well,” said Sylvia.
“We must get rid of the head of the Inspector General’s Office. He must not harm
Southlake City anymore!” Caspian said.
“Caspian, the troops have already gathered here. They are waiting for your orders to drive
into Southlake City and wipe out the York family and Flying Dragons, so they can avenge
Madam Ziegler!” Sylvia said.
“Calm down. We will wait until they make the first move. According to our previous plan,

“Both of us went to the York family and wiped out many men from the Flying Dragons.
They still haven’t made their move after a whole day. How long will this take?” Sylvia

“In my opinion, your position as a general officer must have scared them. That is why they
have yet to make their move,” Caspian said.
“What? I see!” Sylvia suddenly realized the truth.
“It’s simple. You’ve been following me and obeying my orders. They are not fools and
surely saw something wrong with that. With someone like you by my side, they won’t do
anything to me,” Caspian said.
“Sounds reasonable. What should we do now?” Sylvia asked.
“During the wedding, your appearance was too flashy. You attended fully geared up.
Everyone in Southlake City knew who you were. I’m sure they won’t take any action
recklessly,” Caspian said.
“Is there any way to solve this?” Sylvia asked.
“Of course,” Caspian said with a nod.
“I’m willing to do anything as long as we can get rid of all of them,” Sylvia said.
“You must let everyone know that you were pretending to be a general officer,” Caspian
said.
“What? But I am real. How can I make them think I’m a fake?” Sylvia was taken aback
before asking Caspian.
“You need to think of that yourself. You can invite some media and reveal that your
identity is fake. Your medals were also fake. You faked everything,” Caspian said..
“Do I need to make myself look like a liar?” Sylvia asked.
“You have to. If you want to force them to take action, you must remove their doubts. So,
you must endure some injustice,” Caspian said.
“Fine, you’ve been hiding your identity as the Diatoranian God of War. I’m just a general
officer so I don’t mind feeling aggrieved. I will find someone to make some reports and tell
the whole Southlake City that my identity is fake,” Sylvia said with a wry smile.
