Chapter 248 Willow Kidnapped
At first, Caspian thought Willow had simply drunk too much and gone to the restroom.
After waiting for over ten minutes, he couldn’t see any sign of her, nor could he reach her
phone.
He began to grow anxious.
He and Xandros had been standing outside the hall, and nobody had come out.
Suddenly, Caspian noticed some clues.
A few muddy footprints were on the ground.
These footprints extended toward the wall of the hall.
A sense of foreboding dawned upon him!
He immediately sobered up and called Sylvia.
“Sylvia, Willow is missing. Send people to trace her immediately and report any findings to
me at once!”
“Yes!”
Sylvia didn’t dare to wait for another second.
She mobilized all the resources she had in Southlake City to search for Willow.
Caspian followed the clues and slowly tracked it from the Stewart family manor. The
footprints were fresh, which indicated the person hadn’t gone far!
He found similar footprints outside of the manor and managed to trace them to a stream
nearby. There was a path that seemed like a shortcut into the Stewart family manor.
It seemed the kidnapper had planned this.
And that person was skilled in martial arts.
Despite his search, Caspian lost track of the clues.
Just then, Sylvia called.

Sylvia spoke over the phone.
At her words, Caspian was filled with anger.
How could it be The Reaper?
Hadn’t he run away from Southlake City and vanished from sight?
“Caspian, after Leonardo died, The Reaper joined the Mahayan Pavilion.

“However, now that Mahayan Pavilion has been destroyed, his revenge plan has failed.
“A few days ago, he secretly returned to Southlake City. He was also spotted at the
Riverside Villa…
“Lord Caspian, this is my fault! I didn’t discover The Reaper’s whereabouts in time,
resulted in Willow getting kidnapped!”
Sylvia immediately changed her tone as she realized the severity of the situation.

She was responsible for Caspian’s safety, yet she didn’t notice The Reaper was spying on
him. Hence, this was her mistake.
However, Caspian wasn’t as worried anymore upon hearing the news.
He knew that The Reaper’s target was definitely not Willow–it was him!
As long as she wasn’t in mortal danger, he was fine.
“Enough. No need for further words. Find out where The Reaper is now! It’s not entirely
your fault!” Caspian said.
Caspian initially thought The Reaper was powerless. Hence, he didn’t care that he had
escaped back then.
Even after learning that The Reaper joined the Mahayan Pavilion, he hadn’t been
concerned as he didn’t think that The Reaper could cause much trouble.
But now, Caspian realized that The Reaper was cunning and that he was planning and
waiting patiently to get his revenge.
He even took the opportunity to kidnap Willow.
“Lord Caspian, this is all my fault! Please, punish me!” Sylvia’s voice choked with emotion.
She knew how important Willow was to Caspian.
“It’s not time for punishments. First, we must find Willow,” Caspian instructed.
“Understood! I’ll immediately search for her whereabouts!” Sylvia replied.
Then, he hung up the phone. He couldn’t sit and wait.
Just as he was preparing his next move,
move, his phone rang again.
“The Reaper?” Caspian answered the unknown call directly.
A triumphant laugh came from the other end. “Impressive! You actually know it’s me!”
“Cut to the chase. State your price and release Willow,” Caspian said calmly.
“Easy. Come to the Southlake Pavilion before dawn. But, you must come alone. If I see
anyone else with you, I’ll throw her into the lake!” The Reaper’s voice was vicious.
“Alright, but I need to hear Willow’s voice now,” Caspian demanded.
“Hubby! I’m scared! When are you coming to save me?” Willow’s trembling voice camer
through the phone.
She had been sleeping peacefully when she was taken away. She thought it was Caspian
who had brought her back home.
When she woke up, she realized she had been kidnapped.
“Willow, don’t worry. I’m coming to rescue you now!” Caspian said firmly.
At this moment, Willow’s sobbing voice came through the phone.
Caspian’s heart ached. His beloved wife had been taken by that jerk, The Reaper!
“The Reaper! I warn you, if you dare to harm Willow, I’ll tear you apart!” Caspian gritted

“Caspian! Although I’m not righteous, I won’t take advantage of someone’s vulnerability.
My target is you. Cut the nonsense. I want to see you before sunrise. Otherwise,
consequences will follow!” The Reaper’s tone was indifferent.
With that, he hung up the phone.
Caspian immediately drove back to Southlake City and informed Sylvia about the news.
Sylvia and a team of men had been waiting outside the Riverside Villa for a while.
Later, Caspian stopped his car outside the villa.
“Caspian, I’ve assembled the team. We can head straight to Southlake Pavilion and rescue
Willow!” Sylvia said urgently.
As soon as she learned that The Reaper had taken Willow to Southlake Pavilion, she
quickly gathered a team.
“Don’t act recklessly. Prepare a motorboat for me. I’ll go alone,” Caspian ordered.
“Yes!” Sylvia nodded. She didn’t dare disobey Caspian’s orders.
Then, the group arrived at the lakeside at the edge of Southlake City. On a small island in
the center of the lake was the Southlake Pavilion.
Dozens of SUVs stopped by the lake and turned on their headlights, illuminating the center
of the lake.
Caspian started the motorboat and dashed toward the island.
Several minutes later, he docked and approached the island.
The island wasn’t large, and he spotted The Reaper standing not far away.
Meanwhile, Willow was sitting in a pavilion behind him.
Seeing Caspian, Willow was ecstatic. With a joyful expression, she rushed toward him.
The Reaper didn’t stop her.
His eyes were fixed solely on Caspian.
His target was Caspian alone!
The reason he kidnapped Willow was to seek revenge against Caspian!
