Chapter 269 Seems to Have Been Tricked
Melvin knelt on the floor, face wet with tears.
“Mr. Lynch, the Four Noble Lineages of Easton attacked Celestial Sanctum, and now the headquarters
has been invaded!” Melvin said, wiping his tears.
Caspian’s face sank.

However, he did not expect the Four Noble Lineages to do this behind his back!
‘Bastard! Do the Four Noble Lineages want to be kicked out of the country?” Caspian said in
rage.
“Mr. Lynch, I want to return to Easton to save Celestial Sanctum, so I’m here to ask for your permission

Melvin had agreed to work for Caspian, so he had to report such a catastrophe to him.
Melvin looked at Caspian expectantly.
Caspian said calmly after taking a sip of his coffee, “Melvin, it seems that you don’t understand the curr

Easton aren’t your ultimate enemies. The ones who are supporting them are the people you should figh

do so, your return to Easton will be for nothing.
“But…” Melvin was stunned.
Caspian was not wrong, but the loss of all Celestial Sanctum’s territories hit Melvin hard.
He had put too much effort and care into Celestial Sanctum, and he had lain in wait for years so that C
elestial Sanctum could become the most powerful group in Easton.
He did not expect this misfortune to befall Celestial Sanctum. He could not accept Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Follow my command and exterminate Galecrest first. After that, I’ll go back to Easton with you and hel
p you resurrect Celestial Sanctum. How does that sound?” Caspian said calmly.
“Got it, Mr. Lynch!” Melvin could only agree to it. He dared not oppose Caspian, anyway.
He knew what Caspian was capable of. He would be in deep trouble should he oppose Caspian.
“Melvin, I also have something I want to discuss with you. I have a plan on how to pull Galecrest by the
roots. I wonder if you’re interested in pitching in?” Caspian said with a smile.
40 minutes later, Melvin left the hotel speechless. He had wanted to use Caspian’s power to wipe out th
e Four Noble Lineages of Easton, but he ended up being roped into Caspian’s schemes instead.
He could only pray that Caspian would really help him reclaim Celestial Sanctum after Galecrest was e
xterminated.
Suddenly, someone bumped into Melvin forcefully.
“Who’s there? You blind…” Melvin cursed. Before he could finish his sentence, though,
he froze on the spot.
“Mr. Zann Senior!” Melvin looked at the man standing across from him in surprise.
It was Vermont Zann, the true head of the Zann family.
Melvin had some knowledge about the powerful forces in Easton. Vermont usually kept a low profile, so
why was he here today?
And he looked quite anxious, too.
“Oh, it’s Mr. Jones. Sorry. I was in a rush, so I didn’t see you.” Vermont was also surprised to see Melvi
n, and he quickly apologized as well.
He stayed indoors in his house most of the time, but he did not stay idle. He had done his research on t
he many forces in Easton, so he was able to recognize Melvin immediately.
Right after leaving South River Restaurant, he brought five million dollars over to Caspian. immediately.
He dared not drag it out, and thus, he paid the sum promptly.
Vermont felt fear in his heart whenever he thought of Caspian, and he was afraid of offending Caspian.
He had lost about 20 million dollars in total ever since Caspian’s arrival in Naporia.
Vermont felt a bit helpless. He thought of Caspian as a harbinger of bad luck, even. If he was not, why
would misfortune befall him again and again ever since Caspian had come to Naporia?
“Mr. Zann Senior, why do you look so anxious?” Melvin asked in confusion.
“I’m here to meet Mr. Lynch, so I can’t talk to you for longer. You’re very welcome to visit me at my hom
e any time,” Vermont said hurriedly.
Before Melvin could reply, Vermont had already rushed into the hotel.
Looking at Vermont’s nervous silhouette, Melvin wondered what was happening
Vermont had always been incredibly mysterious and had not
shown his face in public for several years. Why was he suddenly in public now, and why was Caspian t
he one he sought out? What secret existed between the two men?
Melvin had noticed how harried Vermont looked. It meant that Vermont had something to ask. of Caspi
an.
At that thought, fear struck Melvin’s heart.
The noble families in Naporia were all on Caspian’s side. If the Zann
family was also here to curry Caspian’s favor, it meant that Caspian had all the Eight Noble Lineages in
his grasp.
Melvin exclaimed in admiration. He felt inferior in comparison to Caspian–
the other man was simply too good a strategist.
Caspian had only been in Naporia for several days, and yet he had already recruited the Eight Noble Li
neages of Naporia to his side. Not to mention how he was ready to exterminate Galecrest.
Even Galecrest would fail to anticipate the appearance of Caspian Lynch, wouldn’t they?
Some serious trouble was probably awaiting them right now.
Something flashed in Melvin’s eyes. He had wanted to leave for Easton without a word, his subordinates

So Caspian had never wanted Celestial Sanctum to establish a stable stronghold in Easton.
Sylvia understood Caspian’s motives, but Melvin was completely unaware. He was working diligently for
It was obvious how things would end up in the end.
What would Melvin think when he learned of Caspian’s actions? No one knew.
Caspian felt helpless as well. As the Diatoranian God of War, everything he did was for the sake of the p

This was what Caspian had to do for a peaceful Diatoran!
Someone knocked on the door hurriedly, and Sylvia went to open it.
“Honored to meet you, Mr. Lynch!” Vermont went over to Caspian and knelt in respect.
“Mr. Zann Senior, you can stand up,” Caspian said.
Vermont stood up and presented a check to Caspian. “Mr. Lynch, I wish to compensate for Ms. Stewart’s
“Thank you, Mr. Zann Senior,” Caspian said with a smile as he took the cheque.
The situation became awkward soon after as Caspian said nothing else.
Vermont was rooted on the spot as well. He was at a loss for what he could say to break the
silence.
30 seconds later, Caspian gave Vermont a look. “What’s wrong? Do you have something else to say to m
