The Almighty Lord Caspian

ight be true, but that’s still the Flying Dragons‘ territory. As the ruler of Diatoran, you mustn’t risk your lif

e. I can handle this matter; there’s no need for you to put yourself in danger,” Sylvia insisted.

“An eye for an eye! I must exact my revenge personally!” Caspian replied.

“Caspian, there’s something else I need to report to you.”

“What is it?” Caspian asked.

“I just received instructions from above. They’ve noticed some unrest in Southlake City lately. Many hig

h–

ranking officials here are a bit corrupt, so they’re planning to form an investigation team to clean up the

city,” Sylvia explained.

“Well, that doesn’t really concern me, right?”

“How could it not? They know you’re in Southlake City right now, so they want

you to be the head of the investigation team.”

“You’ve got to be kidding. Am I not on a vacation?” Caspian replied, displeased.

“Why don’t you consider it, Caspian? If you take it, your vacation will only end after the investigation is

completed,” Sylvia explained.

“Head of the investigation team? You want me, the ruler of Diatoran, to take up such a lowly position? A

m I going to be demoted several ranks?” Caspian asked.

“How is that possible? You’ve achieved outstanding military merits; no one would demote you. This inv

estigation team is temporary. Although it doesn’t sound very powerful, this position will make all the hig

h–

ranking officials in Southlake City tremble in fear. Your authority will surpass everyone else’s in Southla

ke City!” Sylvia assured.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“If you accept this position and with the special privileges the country gives you, investigating Lilith’s ca

se will become much simpler. You won’t need to report to anyone and you can make decisions yourself.

If you encounter uncooperative individuals, you can directly deal with

them.”

“I can make decisions myself; I’ve always had that right,” Caspian said nonchalantly.

In fact, he already had a plan to handle it.

“I know, but for your safety, they will assign some men to secretly protect you. In addition, they will send

a troop to be stationed outside Southlake City under your command,” Sylvia

said.

“There’s no need for the men. With you by my side, it is enough; Too many people may draw attention,”

Caspian replied.

“What about the troops?” Sylvia inquired.

“Have them be on standby outside the city for now. When I need them, I’ll say the word.”

“So, are you willing to accept this position?” Sylvia asked.

“Is this something I can refuse? Can I go against the orders from above?” Caspian retorted. “I want to t

horoughly clean up the corrupt authorities in Southlake City!”

“Do you already have a plan, Caspian?” Sylvia asked.

Caspian briefly explained his plan to Sylvia.

After listening, Sylvia was shocked. “You’re the ruler of Diatoran! That’s too risky!”

“If I don’t take the risks, how can I lure these bastards out? The relationships in Southlake City are an i

ntricate web; I need to expose them all at once and take them down.”

“But I’m tasked by the

country to protect you. If anything happens to you, I’ll be done for. I can’t bear that responsibility!” Sylvi

a said.

“I’ve faced thousands of troops and participated in countless battles or various scales. There’s nothing I

haven’t encountered. What is there to be nervous about?”

“But what if? Leave the York family and the Flying Dragons to me. Or, with just one command from you,

let’s have the troops destroy them,” Sylvia urged.

“This isn’t a battlefield, so there’s no way we can use armored forces here. It’s easy to wipe out

the York family and the Flying Dragons, but what about their hidden leaders? We need

to expose them as well.”

“I understand!” Sylvia nodded.

“Well, that better be the case. We need to take this slowly and set

up a grand scheme. Once they lower their guard and expose themselves, we will strike.”

“I’m still afraid something might happen to you. After all, you’re the backbone of Diatoran Sylvia voiced

“Relax! There are troops stationed outside the city, and they can intervene at any time if there’s trouble.

”

“I’m just afraid that there won’t be enough time. The location they’re stationed at is a bit far from Southl

ake City, so I think it’s better to have some men around you to protect you,‘ Sylvia persisted. After all, C

aspian’s safety was no laughing matter.

“If a bunch of people are following me, my intentions will be quickly revealed. I have to do

“But” Sylvia wanted to say more.

“That’s enough. I’ve made up my mind. Not another word from you; just follow my instructions,” Caspian

“Yes!” Sylvia nodded. She didn’t dare to disobey Caspian’s orders.

“However, to avoid drawing attention to myself, my identity should not be revealed. If the

Office of Inspector General discovers my identity, they will certainly become more cautious,” Caspian sa

“How should we deal with that?” Sylvia asked.

“It’s simple. Have someone encrypt all my files and records. Just state that I’m an ordinary soldier in the
