Chapter 574 Robert's Assassination
Chapter 574 Robert's Assassination
"Assemble a team of special agents immediately. I will lead them to the Hudson residence and have
Robert killed!" Caspian said.
"Lord Caspian, you plan to lead a team of special agents to the Hudson residence?" Benjamin asked,
surprised.
"That's right. Robert has openly challenged me. Wouldn't I be ridiculed if I don't show up?" Caspian
said.
Caspian was the Diatoranian God of War. Naturally, he wouldn't be petty about the things of the past.
The urgent matter at hand was to get rid of Robert. Otherwise, he would definitely make a move on
Willow. He would also bring harm to Southlake City.
…
Meanwhile, the pair of siblings had already been knocked out at the Hudson residence.
"General Valez, the two siblings have already passed out. What do you plan to do next?" Grant asked
tentatively.
"Lock them up in the room for now. Keep them alive," Robert said.
"Okay. Lock them up for the time being," Grant said.
"Yes, sir!" The staff of the Stewart family had Henry and Alicia locked inside the room.
These people had witnessed how cruel Robert could be. They didn't dare to be lax about it.
Robert was already satiated by this time. He was preparing for a rest.
However, as soon as he entered the room, his vision suddenly became sharper. He became wide
awake as well. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Sir, now that you've openly challenged Caspian, wouldn't that anger him? What if they assassinate
you?" a deputy general asked.
"Then he would've walked right into my trap. I provoked him on purpose!" Robert said with a smile.
"Do you already have a strategy?" the deputy general asked.
"Of course. Caspian may be the Diatoranian God of War and has experience in fighting in hundreds of
battles, but he has a fatal flaw!" Robert said.
"Flaw? What shortcoming could it be?" the deputy general asked curiously.
"He is a young and energetic person who tends to act impulsively," Robert said with a smile.
He had a pretty good understanding of Caspian.
"Did you provoke Caspian in hopes that he would act impulsively?" the deputed general asked.
"That's right. Once Caspian sees the video, he will definitely take the risk and come assassinate me!"
Robert said.
"I understand now. Caspian will surely die if he dares to show up!" The deputy general nodded.
"Okay. Enough with the ramblings. Have an ambush arranged immediately near the Hudson residence.
If Caspian dares to show up, kill him!" Robert said.
"Yes, sir!" several lieutenants answered.
Robert was also the Champion of Vadesia. He would never fall for women's temptations. The scene
from earlier was all an act.
He did that to set up a trap for Caspian.
Robert knew very well that he might not be able to defeat Caspian if he were to face him head-on.
Therefore, he could only come up with a strategy.
As long as he could destroy Caspian, the day for him to occupy Diatoran would be around the corner.
Obviously, Robert wouldn't reveal this in front of the Hudson family.
Even though the Hudson family had chosen to defect to him, they were still Diatoranians.
To avoid making any mistakes, he had to keep this a secret. For this reason, he only revealed it to his
subordinates when they were in the room.
"Sir! Caspian's the leader of the Five War Gods. Do you think he'd really risk his life to come and save
Alicia?" a deputy general asked.
"It doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't show up, he would definitely send his troops over. Caspian would
become even angrier once we defeat those people.
"It would only be a matter of time before he explodes," Robert said.
"Incredible! This is such a good plan, sir!" the deputy general praised. He was in awe.
"If Caspian doesn't show up, we'll hang Alicia outside the Hudson residence and wait for Caspian to
show up!" Robert added.
"I think that Capsian will definitely take the bait!" the deputy general said with a smile.
"Go arrange it immediately," Robert ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Several lieutenants left the room and began making preparations for their next agenda.
…
Meanwhile, at the South Aridlands War Zone, Benjamin was shocked to hear that Caspian planned to
take the secret agents to Southlake City.
"You're the leader of the Five War Gods, Caspian! You mustn't take such risks!" Benjamin advised.
"He's right! You're the Chief Commander. You still have to take charge of the overall battle.
"You must not be harmed! Otherwise, who's going to direct the battle in South Aridlands?" John
dissuaded.
"Our opponent has already openly challenged me. If I cower away and not show up, am I still deserving
of this title? I have to show up no matter what.
"Even if it's not to rescue Alicia, I must teach Robert a lesson!" Caspian said.
"Lord Caspian, please don't take any risk! Robert is also a famous Champion. He probably posted the
video to provoke you.
"If you were to bring the secret agents there now, wouldn't you be playing into their hands?" Benjamin
said.
In such cases, the bystanders could see a clearer picture as they wouldn't be muddled by the
confusing decision-making.
"He's right! Now that the enemies had already entered Southlake City, Robert might have set up an
ambush, waiting for you to show up," John said.
"Should I just not do anything about it and just cower away? My wife's cousins have been captured by
the enemy. Should I just turn a blind eye?" Caspian snapped.
"Of course we have to save them. Our Lord shouldn't be provoked in vain! However, we must come up
with a thorough plan," Benjamin said.
"That's right. We can come up with a plan. Otherwise, we would walk right into Robert's trap if we were
to act hastily!" John advised.
"Fine. Let's discuss the countermeasures." Caspian had calmed his emotions down. He, too, felt like he
was being a little impulsive earlier.
Benjamin and John were right. He still needed to oversee the overall battle.
It would indeed be a little risky for him to bring the secret agents with him to go and assassinate
Robert.
Robert was a well-known Champion as well. This opponent of his knew him very well. His goal was
very obvious.
He deliberately provoked Caspian to anger him.
The men sat down again and began to discuss the strategies for the rescue mission.
Caspian left the command room. He needed to calm down.
Moreover, there was still an ongoing battle in Southlake City. Caspian also needed to mobilize troops
and generals to take command.
…
Inside Southlake City, Sylvia brought her subordinates and retreated to the north region of the city.
There weren't many people left in her team.
Most of them died in the battle, and many who were wounded were sent to Southlake City General
Hospital.
It was at this moment that the enemy troops wanted to attack Southlake City Hospital. The garrison
near the hospital defended as much as they could.
The injured soldiers who were still being treated ran out and began fighting, regardless of their injuries.
The doctors were all frightened, but they couldn't evacuate. They had to treat the wounded.
Caspian soon received the news about the hospital.
He immediately contacted Sylvia.
"Sylvia, Caspian here!" Caspian said.
"Caspian, where are you now?" When Sylvia received Caspian's call, she got excited.
"I've already returned to the South Aridlands War Zone," Caspian said.
"You're finally back, Caspian. Do you have any instructions for us?" Sylvia asked eagerly.
She knew that victory would surely belong to them as long as Caspian returned.
