Chapter 804 Looming Danger
Chapter 804 Looming Danger
Avon knew the guards hadn't seen Balthazar as he was in another place. However, Jerry would surely ask him why he took Lyndon, so he had to come up with a plausible explanation.
But once he recalled that Caspian was over at the King's residence with Jerry, he felt a little more confident. Thus, without any hesitation, he left with the guards to meet Jerry.
Meanwhile, Laina snuck out from another exit with Lyndon in tow. Unfortunately, someone noticed her.
One of the guards rushed to Kelvin in a panic.
"Sir, we've found Lyndon!" the guard shouted.
Pleased by the news, Kelvin asked, "Well, where is he, then? Why didn't you catch him?"
"Someone from Life Force took him away," the guard said helplessly.
“How useless! You people couldn't even deal with someone from Life Force?" Kelvin growled.
"Sir, we also tracked down Jett Dunn. He seems to be doing something in secret," the guard reported. Enraged, Kelvin snarled. "What? The nerve of him! Why did he seize Lyndon?"
"Mr. Kelvin, | think it's all clear now. Jett must have decided to ally with Mr. Zane. He must've taken Lyndon away to give him to Mr. Zane instead. Once that happens, you'll lose your standing with Mr. Andrews!" Jethro said meaningfully.
He didn't want to see the three Andrews men getting along. He stood to gain the most if the three of them started fighting among themselves.
"That can't be. My men haven't informed me of any news about Jett and Zane having contact," Kelvin replied doubtfully. "Do you think this is something that your men could discover so easily, Mr. Kelvin?" Jethro remarked. Alarmed, Kelvin started getting a bad feeling.
The Andrews family formed Skyarch Palace to seize control over Diatoran. They had only just managed to establish themselves, but had the infighting already begun?
"I'll talk to Dad and find out what's going on! Mr. Roman, do you think you can win against Jett?" Kelvin asked. "Jett's no threat at all! The entirety of Life Force is nothing to be scared of!" Jethro declared confidently.
"Good. Go and seize Lyndon. Kill anyone who tries to stop you!" Kelvin commanded.
Meanwhile, Avon followed the guards to the King's residence.
When he reached the corridor outside Balthazar's bedroom, he saw Jerry waiting for him with a smile.
"You're finally here, Mr. Dunn. Help me check on His Majesty," Jerry said at once as he swiftly led Avon into the bedroom. He didn't even wait for the guards to give him an update on the current situation.
Naturally, Avon wasted no time in following Jerry into the room.
Caspian was sitting on the bed with a distant look in his eyes, though that was merely an act to fool Jerry.
Just as before, Avon clutched Caspian's wrist and started tapping out a coded message.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Yet again, Caspian used his internal force to control his pulse and inform Avon of his plan.
“How is he, Mr. Dunn?" Jerry asked.
"Congratulations, Mr. Andrews! His Majesty is almost fully recovered. Soon, you'll become the ruler of Diatoran!" Avon declared respectfully.
Jerry was taken aback. What was Avon talking about?
Although Jerry longed to become the King of Diatoran, he knew he couldn't rush that.
The Four Champions were no slouches, and he dared not do anything reckless.
“How much longer will it take before | can start controlling His Majesty again, Mr. Dutt?" Jerry asked anxiously.
“Half a day or so," Avon replied.
"That's too long. I'll give you five hours. Make sure he recovers by then!" Jerry instructed urgently after checking the time.
He had to regain control over Balthazar before the countdown ended so that he could have Balthazar give the command to withdraw the army.
"Well..." Avon trailed off, looking conflicted.
"Please do your best, Mr. Dunn. Once this crisis is resolved, I'll make you my main strategist!" Jerry declared, making a promise to entice Avon.
But before Avon could respond, someone came charging into the bedroom.
Jerry was furious, and when he saw who it was, his expression darkened as well. "Dad! That bastard, Jett..." Kelvin stopped talking when he noticed Jett was with Jerry. Smiling awkwardly, he said, "I didn't expect you to be here, Mr. Dunn."
"What's the matter, Mr. Kelvin? Am | not supposed to be here?" Avon asked curtly.
