Chapter 107 A Cruel Idea
The staff on night duty at the Inspector General’s office started exclaiming in panic.
“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake?”
“I don’t know. Is there some kind of construction work happening nearby?”
“Impossible! This doesn’t sound like construction work!”
“Let’s go and see what’s happening.”
They quickly ran out of the building.
When they arrived at the entrance, they were gobsmacked.
Countless tanks and military vehicles had
filled every inch of the space in front of the Inspector General’s office!
Even more armored vehicles were approaching as well.
The staff froze in shock. Despite working in the Inspector General’s office, they had never seen such a gr
and procession.
“What on earth is going on?” an inspector asked curiously.
“Did the army come to demolish the Inspector General’s office…” another inspector asked in a trembling
voice.
“Why did a military unit show up here?”
Just then, two imposing generals approached the building with special forces soldiers flanking them from
behind. They were Julian, the chief of staff of the army at South Aridlands, and Sylvia, who was a gener
al officer.
However, lately, everyone in Southlake City knew that Sylvia’s identity was fake.
Sylvia had informed Julian about Caspian’s situation. Once the two met up, they rushed over to the Inspe
ctor General’s office with Julian’s troops.
The inspectors recognized Sylvia, but they did not know who Julian was.
The procession was far too terrifying, and the inspectors were shocked beyond words.
“Where’s Ezekiel Parker? Tell him to get his ass out here!” Sylvia yelled at the inspectors who
stood frozen at the entrance.
“I–Inspector Ezekiel isn’t here,” an inspector reported shakily.
“What? He’s not here?” Sylvia repeated. She had just received the word that Ezekiel had taken
“That’s right. He’s not here,” the inspector replied.
“Hand over Caspian Lynch, then!” Sylvia said.
“Caspian Lynch? How are you related to him?” the inspectors asked with widened eyes.
Had the grand army procession come for that good–for–nothing Caspian?
“That’s none of your business!” Sylvia barked.
“Well, he’s not here either!” one of the inspectors said.
“Where is he?”
“We don’t know.”
The inspectors were terror–stricken and had forgotten what Joey told them.
“Search the building!” Julian ordered. He could not be bothered to waste his breath on the useless inspe
ctors anymore.
The soldiers marched into the Inspector General’s office.
Ten minutes later, they came back empty–handed. There was no sign of Caspian.
Julian and Sylvia exchanged looks. They had a bad feeling about this.
“Find Lord Caspian at all costs! Use every means available!” Julian commanded. He was afraid that som
ething might happen to Caspian.
“Yes, sir!”
The soldiers quickly jumped into action..
They had vehicles equipped with radars and connections to satellites at their
disposal, so they could track Caspian’s phone to get his exact coordinates.
Back at the Cliff of Death, Nadia was disgruntled by Caspian’s unruffled demeanor.
“Do you have any last words, Caspian?” she asked.
“I’m curious to know who’s the big shot who managed to convince the head of the Inspector General’s off
ice to do your dirty work for you,” Caspian remarked. He was looking for ways t keep them occupied until
Sylvia and the rest of the reinforcements arrived to save him.
He also wanted to know who was the mastermind behind everything.
“That’s an excellent question. Since you’re about to die, there’s no harm in telling you the truth,” Nadia an
swered smugly.

“Go on, then. Who is it?” Caspian asked.
“My oldest son, Zachary!” Nadia declared with a look of pride.
Since Caspian was doomed to die, she was not afraid of him finding out who the York family’s pillar of su

“I see.” Caspian had guessed as much, so Nadia’s answer did not shock him.
For the sake of wiping out the evil forces in Southlake City, Caspian took his time to plan each step. Alas,
that led to him ending up in a dangerous situation instead.
At the time, Sylvia had tried her best to stop him as she feared something could happen. From
the looks of it now, her suggestion had been a wise one.
“Do you regret it now, Caspian? You now know just how powerful the York family is! With a wave of his h

“The regional chief of the Two Lakes area, huh? He’ll pay a heavy price for this!” Caspian roared.
He had decided to execute Zachary no matter what!
“What a joke! Either way, you’re going to die, so I’ll let you die in peace. I’m the one who had the inspecto

Ezekiel said.
Upon hearing that, Willow, Miranda, and Zoey were horror–stricken. These people were too cruel!
Caspian was infuriated as well. He did not expect Ezekiel to be that brutal.
He did not care how they treated him, but he could not let them attack his wife and other innocent people.
All of a sudden, Nadia said, “You made a very good suggestion, Inspector Ezekiel, but it’s not enough.”
Ezekiel and Garrett were startled.
“Do you have
a better idea, Mrs. York Senior?” Ezekiel asked. He thought his method was cruel enough as it was.
