The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 684 Absolutely Shameless

"Mom! Almost all of our men are going to be killed! What should we do?" Blake was pacing around in a

panic.

"I don't have any good solutions either! We have no choice but to wait for your grandpa to get back to

us!" Lacey said helplessly.

"If this goes on, we'll probably be long dead before your father replies to us!" Fergus said hurriedly.

"I can't do anything about this either. Now it seems that the paratroopers are unstoppable. We don't

have much time left!" Lacey was absolutely terrified.

She had thought that this operation would be infallible, but they had ended up stuck in such a horrible Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

situation instead.

…

On the memorial hill in Southlake City, Jerry approached the King and ventured cautiously, "Your

Majesty, did Caspian lead his troops toward Churron for an operation?"

"He's not going to Churron but to attack Tigra. What are you asking this for?" Balthazar said.

The higher-ups had assumed that Caspian was leading his troops to Tigra under Balthazar's command,

which ended up scaring the other country witless. Balthazar went with it and said that Caspian was

heading toward Tigra.

However, he knew very well that Caspian's true objective was to rescue his mother.

"I got word that Caspian's troops have landed near an abandoned factory in Churron, though, Your

Majesty," Jerry said.

Balthazar's face darkened. He asked, displeased, "From where did you obtain this information, Jerry?"

Balthazar knew that Caspian was heading toward an abandoned factory on the northern side of

Churron to rescue his mother. But he had not told anyone else about this, so where did Jerry hear this

from?

Noticing Balthazar's expression, Jerry said nervously, "I heard this from my daughter, Your Majesty."

"Caspian's operations are confidential. How would your daughter learn about them?" Balthazar asked.

"She's near the factory, and she happened to witness this, so she told me about it," Jerry said

cautiously.

"This is none of your business, so don't stick your nose into it," Balthazar said nonchalantly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I was worried that Lord Caspian was keeping something from you, so I wanted to

inform you about it," Jerry said. It would be great if he could manage to smear Caspian's reputation

somewhat.

"Caspian has fought in countless battles, and he's very dependable. Your concern about this matter is

not needed." Balthazar did not tell Jerry about the objective of Caspian's expedition.

"What if Lord Caspian is abusing his power and massacring people here and there, Your Majesty?"

Jerry asked.

Hearing Jerry's words, Balthazar finally realized that something was not right. He asked, "Are you

implying something, Jerry? Tell me the truth.

"What do you mean by asking that? Also, why would your daughter just happen to be there when the

paratroopers landed?"

"My daughter married Fergus Jessop from Churron. The Jessops are preparing to construct new

buildings, so they went to the countryside for an observation. They happened across those soldiers and

were shocked, so my daughter gave me a call."

Jerry fabricated a lie. Of course, he would not tell Balthazar about Lacey's wrongdoings.

"I know you have reservations toward Caspian, Jerry, but you don't need to try and cause him trouble

all the time. As long as your daughter does her own thing, he won't give her any trouble," Balthazar

said nonchalantly.

Jerry knew that the situation called for immediate action. If he was to waste more time here, Caspian

would probably attack his daughter soon.

Helpless, he could only tell the truth in its entirety.

"I'll be honest here, Your Majesty. My daughter was muddle-headed and did something she shouldn't

have done. Lord Caspian's troops have already surrounded her!" Jerry said anxiously.

Balthazar frowned. He asked, "What on Earth is going on?"

"Lord Caspian's mother, a woman named Sherry Lynch, is still alive, isn't she, Your Majesty? Lord

Caspian went on this expedition to save her, is that right?" Jerry did not reply to Balthazar but instead

asked him a few questions.

Balthazar was surprised as he did not expect Jerry to ask those questions. He had only learned of the

identity of Caspian's biological mother just now. Even Caspian himself had just known about that for

two days. Why would Jerry know about it, then?

Upon having that thought, Balthazar found things strange. Was Jerry's daughter the person who

kidnapped Caspian's mother?

"You haven't answered my question yet!" Balthazar said sternly.

How dare Jerry not give an answer to his question? Balthazar was naturally angry at that. His voice

was so loud that it attracted everyone else's attention immediately.

Jerry was red in the face. He knew that he could no longer keep this from Balthazar, and he had figured

out that Caspian had gone on the expedition to save his mother. Things were clear now. The person his

daughter had kidnapped was indeed Caspian's mother!

Caspian would not have deployed his troops otherwise!

Jerry was starting to get worried now too as his daughter had indeed done something incredibly wrong.

He did not know how he should resolve this matter. The only solution was to tell the King everything.

Maybe he could obtain His Majesty's forgiveness.

Upon having that thought, he knelt in front of Balthazar and said fearfully, "Your Majesty, my daughter

kidnapped a farmer who's very likely to be Caspian's mother, Sherry Lynch!"

Balthazar and everyone else present were shocked to hear Jerry's words.

"Why would your daughter kidnap Caspian's mother?" Balthazar asked bemusedly. These two people

should not have known each other at all!

Jerry had no choice but to tell Balthazar everything from the beginning.

"Lord Caspian's troops have already surrounded my daughter, and they might kill her. Please, Your

Majesty, I beg of you. Please order Lord Caspian to be lenient and not kill her," Jerry said.

After that, the higher-ups present finally understood what had happened.

Lacey Andrews was a cruel woman who treated the lives of others like dirt just for the sake of her son,

and she had committed heinous crimes. Jerry was a bastard too, for he had the nerve to beg the King

for leniency despite knowing the magnitude of what his daughter had done.

Lacey was so brave as to kidnap Lord Caspian's mother. No one could save her!

"You dare ask me to stop Lord Caspian in spite of the nefarious crimes your daughter has committed?"

Balthazar said coldly.

"It's just a misunderstanding, Your Majesty. My daughter didn't know that Ms. Lynch was Caspian's

mother. If she had known about Ms. Lynch's identity, she wouldn't have done that! She would never

have!" Jerry said.

"Bastard!" Balthazar was furious. He roared, "Even if Sherry were an ordinary civilian, that still wouldn't

make your daughter's behavior less shameful!"

Jerry had nothing to say in response to Balthazar's angry words. His back was already drenched in

cold sweat.
