The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 744 Ambushed

Everyone didn't dare to speak up after witnessing Balthazar's fury.

Balthazar declared, "Jerry, I'll leave the matter of allying with Filren to you."

Jerry replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All four Champions were in disbelief as Balthazar remained stubborn.

They were also puzzled as to why the usually tough-willed and unyielding Balthazar was seemingly

behaving like a different person.

Jerry realized just how much the four Champions favored Caspian as their leader. He decided to deal

with Caspian as soon as possible lest he be reinstated to his post.

…

Meanwhile, in Southlake City.

Tom and Aria were discharged from the hospital.

Caspian was very grateful to Tom and Aria for saving Sherry's life. Therefore, he invited the two to his

house for a meal.

Miranda was also invited.

Both Tom and Aria were overjoyed. Caspian might be nothing more than a civilian now, but they still

treated him as the Diatoranian God of War.

They happily accepted the invitation.

After the meal, Caspian decided to let both Tom and Aria stay in his house for a few days as a way of

expressing his gratitude.

Aria also had another objective in mind while living in Caspian's house. It was so that she could serve

as his bodyguard.

Caspian no longer had his armored battalion, and even Sylvia was sent far away.

Besides, as a member of Task Force Rose, Aria was permitted to carry a gun.

Caspian asked, "Tom, how good are you with a weapon?"

Tom replied, "I'm just so-so. But nowhere close to the actual experts."

"I've never seen you with a weapon, though?"

"Well, there's way too many security checks in Southlake City. I wouldn't know what to do if I were to be

detained."

Caspian nodded and replied, "That makes sense. But anyway, you should still be careful of your

surroundings for now. The people who failed to assassinate you will definitely be back to finish the job."

Tom replied, "I know. They're after my Black Moon Technique Scroll."

"Stay in my house for now. We'll be able to watch each other's backs."

Tom didn't reject the offer.

After everyone had retreated to their rooms, Caspian went out of the house to study the Eldorian Scroll

fragment again.

But this time, Willow insisted on following him.

Caspian couldn't convince her otherwise and decided to bring her along.

Willow asked, "You're already plenty strong, hubby. Have you studied traditional martial arts before?"

Caspian explained, "I did. I used to have a teacher who was a traditional martial arts expert." Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The next second, all the birds in the surrounding trees flew away.

The atmosphere around the place turned unusual.

Caspian felt an intense surge of killing intent coming toward him.

Willow was terrified and latched onto Caspian's arm. "What's going on? Is this place haunted? We

should get back inside!"

"I'm afraid that won't be possible," Caspian answered as he continued to scan his surroundings.

In the next second, countless silhouettes appeared from all directions.

Willow was terrified by the scene.

She could tell that they had come prepared.

Each and every one of the strangers had a weapon in their hands.

Their weapons coldly glinted in the moonlight.

They wore a black suit that matched their expressionless face. Their murderous intent was so potent

that it had even caused the nearby temperature to drop.

They were all members of the Raging Blade.

When Jerry ordered Darren to assassinate Caspian, he also ordered him to bring more men as a

precaution.

And thus, the men before the couple were all hand-picked combatants of Darren. All of them were

eternal grandmasters.

And Darren himself was an innate grandmaster.

Darren, however, was yet to show up.

He ordered his men to launch the attack as he waited for the best opportunity to land a fatal blow on

Caspian.

Caspian calmly asked, "Who sent you?"

One of the Raging Blade members replied, "No point answering the question of someone who's about

to die soon!"

"I don't think we have a grudge with each other. So, who sent you to kill me?"

Caspian just wanted to know who was trying to have him killed.

The man replied, "I'll only tell you when you're about to die."

Caspian smiled. "I'm actually afraid that you might not have a chance to tell me before you die."

"Ridiculous! Who do you think you are?"

Caspian was annoyed. "Enough nonsense! Just come at me already!"

Willow shouted, "Be careful, Caspian!"

"Don't worry. I'll be fine."

The cold steel on the enemy's hands glistened.

Caspian was surprised as he realized that his opponents seemed to be powerful.

Their weapons were also intricately crafted masterpieces.

Caspian realized that they attacked in patterns, showcasing great teamwork.

He couldn't help but feel pressured.

He decided to use his full strength to deal with the assassins swiftly.

Caspian scooped up Willow by her waist to evade some of the enemy's attacks.

The missing attack left a deep crack in the ground instead.

Caspian and Willow could have been shredded into pieces if they hadn't dodged the attack.

The men continued their pursuit.

Several assassins were defeated the moment Caspian brandished his weapon.

The true power of the Diatoranian God of War wasn't comparable to mere eternal grandmasters.

However, the assassins remained calm even as their comrades fell one by one.

They still had plenty of time to continue the hunt as Caspian no longer had any men by his side.

Caspian continued to fight back against the assassins with his weapon in hand.

The Raging Blade men's weapons that touched the Diatanium dagger were all cut into two clean

halves.

Caspian was definitely more than capable of dealing with these assassins alone.

But he had to be extra careful as he also had to ensure Willow's safety.

…

Meanwhile, back in Riverside Villa, Tom was suddenly woken up from his sleep.

He began to hear the commotion coming from outside the house.

Aria, too, was also woken up from her sleep.

She had also noticed that something was wrong.
