Before leaving the hospital, Caspian arranged for the medical team to take good care of Cora.
Naturally, Abel dared not show any negligence. He even assigned a nurse to tend to Cora at all times.
After that, Caspian and Willow left for Cora’s house.
During the car ride, Sylvia handed a tablet to Caspian.
“Caspian, this is what I found on the Masseys just now,” Sylvia said.
The tablet contained detailed information regarding the Massey family’s recent actions. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Seconds after Caspian started glancing through the information, he felt an overwhelming surge of ange
r.
There was
a long list of the Massey family’s misdeeds, which included bullying the city’s residents, extorting protec
tion money, and unlawfully seizing land and property!
They were no different from criminal gangs.
Out of curiosity, Willow took a look at the tablet as well.
Once she went through the information, her eyes flashed with fury, and she grew angrier.
“How could this be? How could the Masseys do such things? What on earth has been happening this w
hole time?” Willow exclaimed in disbelief.
The information she read made her clench her jaw in outrage.
What the Masseys were doing now made them no different from Flying Dragons.
Never would Willow have thought that the Masseys would sink to such depravity. They were wreaking h
avoc and destroying the lives of all the people of Southlake City!
“Have you done a thorough investigation, Sylvia? Has the information been fact–
checked?” Caspian asked.
“All that information was
gathered through private interviews, Caspian. I’ve given Lincoln the information as well. He’ll be compa
ring it against the results of his investigations. We’ll find out about the truth soon enough,” Sylvia replie
d while driving.
She had full faith in her intelligence network and knew they would not have made a mistake.
“Got it,” Caspian said.
Sylvia could have handled this matter herself, but Caspian knew he needed to train some local figures t
o handle things in his place.
Thus, he decided to use this chance to test Lincoln’s abilities.
“I hope the Masseys will stop what they’re doing before it’s too late,” Caspian said coolly,
Unless absolutely necessary, Caspian did not wish to oppose the Masseys.
After all, they were related to Willow.
That being said, if they truly did what the information claimed, he would not go easy on them either.
Willow could sense Caspian’s hostility.
a
She sorely hoped that everything was a lie. If Caspian took action against the Massey family, the conse
quences would be too harsh to even imagine.
Blissville was a low–
cost neighborhood in Southlake City. It was on the outskirts of the city and mainly housed people who
moved to the city for work. Most of them earned meager salaries and could not afford to stay anywhere
else.
Inside a dilapidated house, a voice pleaded, “Stop! Please stop hitting me! It hurts! Please stop!
A few stocky men were beating up a young woman in her early 20s.
The woman was tearfully screaming for them to stop, but the cold–blooded men ignored her.
“Alright, that’s enough. Stop hitting her.” a rotund man with slicked–back hair called out after
blowing out a smoke ring.
He was Eric Massey, a cousin of Willow
As the Massey family’s influence and power expanded. Eric’s actions became even more
outrageous.
He was now a major player in Southlake City’s criminal underworld, and many of the Massey family’s p

Now that he had given the order, the men stopped hitting the young woman
She curled up on the floor, her body jerking uncontrollably as she sobbed.
“Where’s your mom? Hurry up and tell me where she went!” Eric commanded as he approached the yo
ung woman.
He had just received the news that Diego, his subordinate, had been apprehended, and his capture wa

During this time, no one had dared to mess with the Masseys. Thus, Eric immediately came to

Eric frowned.
“She’s a fool, Mr. Eric. How are we going to get any information from her?” Eric’s subordinate.

“Well, it’s her mom’s fault for offending us. We have to teach them a lesson. How else are we going
to earn respect in Southlake City? Since her mom’s not around, just beat her to death and feed her bod
y to the dogs.
“I want all the people who are
watching us to know that anyone who messes with the Masseys will die!” Eric declared in arrogance.
He could not let things slide. It had not been easy for the Masseys to climb up to their present position i
n society. He was determined to establish their dominance.
“Understood!”
The men started punching and kicking Flora.
This time, they did not hold back at all. They fully intended to beat Flora to death.
Flora kept screaming at the top of her lungs. “Stop! Don’t hit me! It hurts…”
She had nowhere to hide. No matter where she tried to run off to, the men would catch her and continue

The feeling of being able to decide a person’s fate gave Eric an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
“You really are a bunch of crude bastards!”
A grim voice abruptly rang out.
A muscular man entered the house, and the air seemed to freeze.
Startled, the burly men stopped hitting Flora.
