Chapter 152 An Ambitious Person
With just another woman in tow, Caspian came over and demanded to seize the assets of
the Yorks of Southlake City. It meant that he had come prepared.
As the oldest daughter of the York family of Dhord City, Celestia was a sharp woman. She
did not believe that a man as bold as Caspian would be the useless matrilocal son–in–law
that the rumors claimed he was.
In response to her earlier question, Caspian said indifferently, “That’s none of your
business.
“Fine, but this isn’t over yet! Just you wait!”
Celestia did not waste her breath. She helped Adam up and left.
She knew full well there was no point in her staying. Adam could not defeat Caspian and
Sylvia.
The Yorks had to get someone even stronger over to deal with them.
Staring after Celestia’s retreating back, Caspian grew thoughtful.
He could tell she was an intelligent woman who knew how to cut her losses.
That being said, anyone who got in the way of the investigative team would pay with their
life.
So what if the Yorks of Dhord City got involved? In Caspian’s eyes, they were nothing.
“Caspian, would it be a problem if we got into conflict with the Yorks of Dhord City?” Sylvia
asked.
“Why would it be a problem? The investigative team has been given enough power,”
Caspian said with a chuckle
Sylvia nodded. Caspian had a point.
Though the Yorks were somewhat of an influential family, they were insignificant to
Caspian.
Furthermore, the King of Diatoran had bestowed the investigative team with sufficient
authority.
Upon seeing that Celestia had left in a hurry, Geoffrey turned pale with fear.
He thought he could make it big in Southlake City with the help of the Yorks from Dhord
City.
“You must be the York family’s only survivor, huh? If you want to stay alive, settle the
paperwork at once,” Sylvia said to Geoffrey after approaching him.
The rest of the Yorks in Southlake City were gone. It did not matter that he had survived.
Since he was alive, it meant he had not gone to the Cliff of Death that day, so he did not
need.

“Yes, of course. I’ll do it right away!” Geoffrey responded helplessly.
When his life was at stake, nothing else mattered.
After seizing the York family’s assets, Caspian headed to Southlake Corporation to see
Willow.
“What’s the matter, hubby? Why did you come to the office to look for me today?” Willow
asked. She was surprised to find that Caspian had come to the company.
“What did you just call me?” Caspian asked dazedly.
It was Willow’s first time addressing him as hubby.
Caspian felt a warm, gooey feeling washing over him.
“Oh. I called you hubby. What about it?” Willow asked with a laugh.
She and Caspian had grown a lot closer these days.
“N–Nothing. I have something to tell you,” Caspian said after calming himself down.
He could sense that his relationship with Willow was improving. They were becoming more
like a married couple now.

“What is it? Go on. I need to get later,” Willow said.
She had just become the CEO and had a lot of things to handle every day.
“My old classmate suddenly told me that he bought over York Group before he left for
abroad. This is the agreement,” Caspian said as he placed the agreement on Willow’s
desk.
Willow was startled.
“Which York family does this York Group belong to?” Willow asked while checking the
agreement.
“Is there another York family in Southlake City?” Caspian asked.
“Huh?”
Willow was stunned.
She was already swamped with work while trying to manage Southlake Corporation, but
now, there was York Group as well!
Just how rich was Caspian’s old classmate?
“Alright, you can get back to work now. I still have other things to attend to, so I’ll get
going,” Caspian said. He knew he needed to give Willow time to digest the news.
One thing was for certain. In the coming days, Willow was going to be extremely busy.

At the same time, everyone else found out that Southlake Corporation had bought over
York Group.
Willow’s name was the talk of Southlake City.
Over at Regal Club, Leonardo was holding a cup of coffee in one hand while flipping
through some documents with the other. He studied the information carefully.
It seemed to be a detailed report about a certain someone. He began reading some of the
information aloud.
“Caspian Lynch, the matrilocal son–in–law of the Stewart family in Southlake City who used
to be a soldier.
“Over a month ago, he held a grand wedding. He had conflicts with the York family and
Flying Dragons. He even helped Joey Sanders, the current head of the Inspector General’s
office, wipe out many of the men from Flying Dragons.
“A week ago, the York family hired Dark Blades, a team of hitmen, to kill Caspian, but the
hitmen disappeared without a trace! The massacre of the York family and Flying Dragons
seems to be related to Caspian, but there’s no means of getting more concrete
information!”
Leonardo was thunderstruck.
Was Caspian truly nothing more than a matrilocal son–in–law?
Was he the one who massacred the York farmily and Flying Dragons?
“Leonardo!”
e out.
Celestia’s voice suddenly rang
Snapping out of his reverie, Leonardo spotted the pale–faced Adam with a streak of blood
on the corner of his lips.
“What happened?” Leonardo exclaimed in shock.
“Mr. Bassett got hit,” Celestia explained.
Leonardo and The Reaper exchanged glances.
Who would have the nerve to attack someone from the York family of Dhord City?
Moreover, Adam was a tier–two expert. How could an ordinary person injure him?
“Who hit Mr. Bassett?” Léonardo asked hesitantly.
“I don’t know her name. I just know she was with Caspian Lynch,” Celestia replied as she
shook her head.

She did not expect a woman to defeat Adam.

Leonardo froze at the mention of Caspian’s name.
“How are your investigations coming along?” Celestia asked.
“Ms. York, I’ve found some clues. I was just about to report them to you. According to the
news and information I gathered, the massacre of the York family and Flying Dragons is
closely connected to one person!”
“Who is it?” Celestia questioned.
“Caspian Lynch!” Leonardo answered.
Was it truly the Caspian she had met earlier?
Celestia was taken aback. When she saw Caspian’s seemingly aloof demeanor, she had a
feeling he was no ordinary person. Leonardo’s information seemed to be proving her right.
“Leonardo, send some people to kill Caspian at once! Since he dared to attack us, we can’t
let him get away with it!” Celestia declared coldly.
Caspian had not only taken over the York family’s business, but his subordinate had even
injured Adam.
Celestia would not let this matter slide..
As the oldest daughter of the York family of Dhord City, humiliation before.
She had never endured such
Leonardo was stumped. Even Dark Blades, the team of hitmen the York family of
Southlake City hired, failed to assassinate Caspian. That was enough to prove how strong
he was.
Or, perhaps, he had someone protecting him.
Still, Leonardo had to obey Celestia’s command. He hurriedly nodded and said, “Rest
assured,
Ms. York. I’ll see to it.!
Celestia nodded and said, “Good. I like loyal and dependable people like you. Actually, I
came to Southlake City for one other reason, and that is to take full control over the Two
Lakes area.
“Sometime soon, the Yorks of Dhord City will be sending some people over. Once
everything’s settled, you can get anything you want as a reward!
“Thank you, Ms. York!”
Leonardo finally realized what Celestia was truly after.
The York family of Dhord City wanted to use the Two Lakes area to establish a foothold for

Although Leonardo had control over a large amount of territory in the Two Lakes area,
apart .rom Southlake City and Northlake City, there were over a dozen other cities in the
region. It would not be easy to gain full control over the entire Two Lakes area!
