Chapter 34 An Attempt to Assassinate Lord Caspian
The most prominent families from Dhord City, such as the Carr family, the Stein family,
the Giles family,
the Lloyd family, and the Lawson family came over to Southlake City in a grand procession
of luxury cars.
They were now making their way over to Stewart Residence.
Jordan Carr, Felix Stein, Zac Giles, Harris Lloyd, and Sean Lawson were all dressed in their
best as they
led their respective entourages.
Sporting Dhord City license plates, the convoy of million-dollar supercars sn*ked along the
roads of
Southlake City. Everyone turned to marvel at the sight.
Bright and early that day, all of the most influential figures in Dhord City set off to
Southlake City with one
goal in mind to attend Caspian and Willow’s wedding.
Willow woke up at dawn and started getting ready. Apart from needing to prepare for the
wedding, she
also could not sleep well last night. Caspian’s departure made her feel anxious.
Even though they had not been together for long, she was used to having him by her side
at all times.
She had a hard time adjusting to him being gone the last two days.
Soon after Willow woke up, Miranda called.
“Morning, Ms. Barton!” Willow said after taking the call.
“Are you ready, Willow? Zoey and I are outside waiting for you,” Miranda informed.
“I’m up, but why did you come over so early?” Willow was startled.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netShe was the bride, so why did it feel like the other two women were even more eager than
she was?
“It’s your wedding day. As your bridesmaids, it’s our duty to get ready as early as possible.
Hurry down,
and bring your wedding gown with you. You need to get your hair and makeup done. It’ll
take quite some
time,” Miranda urged.
“Okay. Give me a minute. I’ll be right there.”
After ending the call, Willow got herself ready and went downstairs with the wedding gown
in hand.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw a brand-new Porsche parked outside.
Miranda and Zoey
both waved at her.
Miranda had driven over in the Porsche.
“Willow, all you have to do today is play the role of the beautiful, blushing bride. I’ll drive,”
Miranda said
with a chuckle.
“Thank you, Ms. Barton.” Willow nodded with a faint smile.
“You don’t need to be so courteous with me! Come. Let’s go.” Miranda opened the door to
the driver’s
seat.
The three women got into the car and headed to Southlake City’s most famous beauty
salon. They were going to get their hair and makeup done.
“You’re definitely going to be the luckiest bride in Southlake City today, Willow. Even Ms.
Barton is here as your bridesmaid,” Zoey enthused.
“We don’t know for sure yet. I hope Caspian can be trusted,” Willow remarked
thoughtfully.
“By the way, what has Caspian prepared so far?” Zoey asked curiously.
“After saying that something urgent came up, he left in the middle of the night last night. I
haven’t seen
him since,” Willow replied.
“What? Why would something urgent happen so late at night? It’ll be your wedding in a
few hours. Could anything be more important than that?” Zoey looked at Willow in shock.
“I don’t know. He told me to wait for me and to trust him.” Willow shook her head. She had
no idea what
Caspian was up to either.
“I’m sure Caspian’s just trying to give you a huge surprise. That’s why he left early to
prepare everything,” Zoey assured Willow.
“I hope so. If he ends up tricking me, I won’t forgive him,” Willow declared.
Miranda was speechless.
If Willow did not want a man as wonderful as Caspian, Miranda was more than willing to
take him off the
former’s hands!
Over on the front lines of the battlefield at the southern border, John received a classified
report.
Diatoran had foiled Tigra’s covert operations. When Tigra found out that Caspian was
personally supervising the battle, they dispatched the Apex Legion, their most powerful
assault unit.
Intending to assassinate Caspian on the 30th, the unit had already infiltrated Southlake
City.
There were two places where the enemy could be ambushing Caspian. One possibility was
as he made his way back to Southlake City, while the other was during the wedding

Grand Hotel.
John was under strict orders from Diadem Hall to ensure Caspian’s safety.
If anything happened to Caspian, John would have to take full responsibility!
The severity of the confidential information left John feeling thunderstruck!
“Quick! Send out the fighter jets! We must protect Lord Caspian! If we encounter any
enemy forces, kill
them on sight!” John swiftly gave his order to the soldier standing beside him.
“Yes, sir!” His second-in-command swiftly began deploying the troops.
“Deploy the foot soldiers as well! Tell them to stay close to Lord Caspian!” Afraid that
something
unexpected might happen, John gave yet another command.
“Yes, sir!” Yet another subordinate started carrying out John’s order.
“Mobilize our strongest Apex Legion as well to protect Lord Caspian in secret. They can
respond to the
situation quicker!” John gave his third order.
All at once, dozens of fighter jets flew off from the southern border.
The armored vehicles and missile launchers set off as well.
The Apex Legion was the first to be deployed.
“Arrange another vehicle. I’m going in person to ensure Lord Caspian’s safety!”
Despite all the arrangements John made, he was still uneasy. He only felt more assured if
he joined the
rest of the troops.
As Tigra’s Apex Legion had snuck into Southlake City, there was an undercurrent flowing
through the city.
In Southlake City, the tension would be coming to a head on the 30th. The city was also
going to witness
the grandest event ever held within its borders!
