THE ALMIGHTY LORD CASPIAN - Season 3 Episode 30

“Just you wait, Celestia! Mr. Lynch will make you pay for this!” Geoffrey fought through the

pain and snarled at Celestia.

“Hahaha! If he dares to show himself, I’ll make sure that’s when he breathes his last! You

should worry about yourself instead!” Celestia scoffed scornfully.

She did not have enough people with her the last time, but that was not the case now.

Geoffrey had more to say, but the Yorks‘ men had dragged him out of the office.

They hung him up outside the branch office.

All at once, all the employees in Southlake Corporation’s branch office were terrified.

“What next, Ms. York? Should we head over to the headquarters of Southlake

Corporation?”

Ivan asked.

“No. Let’s stop for the day. We’ll attack the headquarters tomorrow,” Celestia instructed.

“Yes, Ms. York,” Ivan replied.

“Since you offended me, Caspian, you’re going to die!” Celestia growled menacingly.

She needed to formulate a plan to seize the entire Southlake Corporation.

It was time for her to settle the score with Caspian!

Over at Mahayan Pavilion in Easton, Homer gave Wylie an update.

“Lord Jennings, the Yorks of Dhord City have taken action in the Two Lakes area. I’m

guessing they’ll soon take over Southlake Corporation.”

“Good. Let’s see how Caspian handles the situation,” Wylie said with a laugh.

“What’s our next step, Lord Jennings?” Homer asked.

Rising to his feet, Wylie exuded a murderous air as he said, “Now’s not the time for us to

declare war on Celestial Sanctum. First, we’ll deal with his supporters. Since the Four

Noble Lineages chose to stand against us, we’ll start with them!

“Give the order. From now on, focus all our resources on wiping out the Four Noble

Lineages! I want them to disappear from Easton for good!”

Wylie could already see victory in his hands.

“Yes, Lord Jennings!” Homer answered. He immediately made the arrangements.

Easton was fraught with tension. Few people roamed the streets,

The Luckerman family was the most mysterious of the Four Noble Lineages. They usually

kept a low profile.

A century ago, the Luckermans were indisputably the top elite family in Easton.

As the situation in Easton continued to evolve, the family’s glory declined over time.

However, they were still the mightiest of the Four Noble Lineages!

Inside the living room at Luckerman Residence, the heads of the Four Noble Lineages

gathered to discuss the present circumstances.

“Howard, now that we’ve decided to stand with Celestial Sanctum, Mahayan Pavilion will

certainly come after us!” Herman said.

“That’s right. Since Celestial Sanctum is more powerful, Mahayan Pavilion will choose to

attack us first. We can’t just sit around and wait for that to happen,” Jaxon chimed in as he

nodded in agreement.

“Howard, the Luckerman family has always been the top among the four of us. Even

though we fight among ourselves sometimes, we need to stand united now! I hope you

can help us decide our best move,” Jon said as he looked at Howard.

All three pairs of eyes were on Howard, whose eyes glinted as he sat there with a serious

expression.

As he was over 60 years old, he witnessed all kinds of crises in Easton.

Though the Luckermans were not as powerful as they once were, no one dared to

underestimate them.

He looked at the three men who were waiting for his answer and said, “Based on strength

alone, we can’t stand against Mahayan Pavilion. However, we have another option!”

“What is it?” the three men frantically asked.

“If we choose this option, we will all be saved. What we need to do is make our position

clear to Mr. Lynch!” Howard declared.

Jon, Herman, and Jaxon were startled.

“Haven’t we made ourselves clear enough the other day?” Herman said puzzledly.

The other two also looked at Howard in confusion. They did not understand what he

meant.

Howard said, “I secretly had someone investigate Mr. Lynch. He seems to be nothing more

than the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law, but he used to serve in the army.

“Not too long ago, he stirred up huge waves in Southlake City. Even John Anderson, a high-

He continued, “Mr. Lynch’s wife, Willow Stewart, is the CEO of Southlake Corporation. Right

now, the company has full control over the Two Lakes area’s business market. I’m

guessing they came to Easton to expand their business.

“Even though we’ve met Mr. Lynch, we haven’t shown him enough sincerity. We must

prove to him that we are absolutely sincere!”

The more he said, the more confused the others were. They could not figure out what he

was trying to say.

Knowing that they were confused, Howard explained, “Right now, all of the businesses in

Easton are in the hands of either Mahayan Pavilion or our four families. Celestial Sanctum

isn’t involved in the same areas as us, so it doesn’t count.

“Since Southlake Corporation wants to expand its business into Easton, we, along with

Mahayan Pavilion, are its biggest obstacles. Under these circumstances, what we need to

do is give Southlake Corporation a boost!”

“And how do we do that?” Jaxon asked. He was still confused.

How could they give Southlake Corporation a boost?

“To prove our sincerity, every one of us should give Southlake Corporation 50% of our

business assets as an investment!” Howard shared his idea.

Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Howard to come up with such a plan.

The Four Noble Lineages had a great deal of influence in Easton, 50% of their business

assets equaled tens of billions. It would be an unthinkable amount to invest in Southlake

Corporation!

“Are all of you so short–sighted? We won’t be losing from our investment. We’ll even be

making a profit. Either way, you can choose between money or your life. As long as we

show our utmost sincerity, Mr. Lynch will certainly keep us safe.

“Which one of you is sure that your family can go up against Mahayan Pavilion?” Howard

asked.

The others began to ponder in silence.

Even if the Four Noble Lineages combined forces, they still might not be able to withstand

the Mahayan Pavillion’s attack

Mahayan Pavilion was filled with skilled fighters, while the Four Noble Lineages focused on

their businesses and did not train many martial arts experts.

Still, it was hard to stomach the idea of giving up half of their assets.

“We can accept giving half of our family’s assets to Mr. Lynch, but does he truly have the

power to protect us?” Herman asked.

“Exactly. What if Mr. Lynch can’t keep us safe? We might as well give the investment to

Celestial Sanctum. That way, Celestial Sanctum will stand with us and protect us!” Jaxon

suggested.

“Hah! What a foolish thing to say! The moment the fight breaks out, Celestial Sanctum will

have a hard time defending its own people. Do you think they’ll choose to protect

themselves or protect us?” Howard scoffed.
