Chapter 403 Tomb Within the Mountain
“That’s right. Fabian wanted me to help him obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragment, but I
rejected him,” Xandros replied Caspian.
Caspian was not surprised to hear this.
He knew about the matters regarding Shadow Gate
Nonetheless, Fabian did a good job keeping his interests hidden. He had already joined
Shadow
Gate when he was young.
“I didn’t expect Marilyn to be so secretive!” Caspian said with a smile.
“Caspian!” Sylvia shouted as she came inside in a hurried manner.
“I’ve got the latest update! Shadow Gate, the TMAA, and the Morrison family have all
made their moves! Also, the TMAA and Shadow Gate have joined forces!” she continued.
After hearing Sylvia’s report, Caspian rose from his seat.
His imposing manner startled Xandros.
Even though he had lived for over a hundred years, he had never seen anyone like
Caspian.
It seemed like Caspian’s background was even more impressive than he imagined.
“Mr. Stewart Senior, let us make a move as well!” Caspian said to Xandros.
There was a crowd on Mount Evercloud.
There were more people this time than the last.
In the past few days, many expert martial artists had rushed over.
At that moment, Mount Evercloud had cracked open. Everybody was waiting for the
appearance of the Eldorian Scroll fragment.
Suddenly, somebody’s laughter could be heard. It gradually became louder.
Everyone turned their heads toward the laughter.
“I’d like to give a warm welcome to all you martial arts experts for coming all the way here
to witness the manifestation of the Eldorian Scroll fragment!”
Several figures were seen rushing forward.
Hundreds of people were gathered on the top of a mountain.

When they saw Caspian and his men appear, their lips twisted in disgust.
All they wanted was to tear him apart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn their heads, they were thinking how shameless Caspian was. He was so full of himself.
It was as if the scroll fragment belonged to him.
“Caspian, can’t you take it down a notch?” Xandros asked, feeling rather uneasy.
“I can’t help it. My powers don’t allow me to,” Caspian said with his hands on his back.
Xandros was even more speechless. He had lived for over a hundred years and yet he had
never been so ostentatious about his powers.
On the contrary, Caspian could not wait for everyone to know about his existence.
As for Sylvia and the armored soldiers, they were totally unperturbed.
Caspian was the Diatoran God of War, after all!
It was natural for the Diatoran God of War to keep a high profile.
Even the kings of other countries had to give deference to Caspian.
“Why is everyone suddenly so quiet? Don’t you welcome my arrival?” Caspian said with at
smile.
Everyone was rendered speechless. Caspian was too full of himself.
“Enough with your arrogance, Caspian! Everyone present today has earned their rightful
place here as we’re all experts in the traditional martial arts sphere. Your days are
numbered!”
Nixon said, infuriated.
Gilbert’s expression turned glum after hearing what Nixon had just said.
Nixon must have lost his mind. Why must he bicker with Caspian?
“Isn’t this the head elder who ran away a few days ago? I thought you’d already died. I
guess I was too lenient on you the other day!” Caspian sneered.
“Fuck…” Nixon was incensed.
He had no choice but to keep quiet.
“Also, those ghost wannabes from Shadow Gate. Gilbert, right? Why are you hiding
yourself? I’d like a duel!” Caspian taunted as he looked at Gilbert.
Gilbert did not respond. His top priority was to obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragment before
moving on to other agendas.
“Bastard! Do you think we’re weak?” some of the members of Shadow Gate snapped as
they

“You morons are all talk and no bite. I guess Shadow Gate is just a bunch of losers. You
won’t even make a move,” Caspian said with a smile.
He was trying to taunt them into action.
“Fuck! I wanna kill him!”
“Me too!”
“Count me in!”
The people of Shadow Gate were shouting.
“Yeah! Caspian’s too cocky! Let’s teach him a lesson!”
“That’s right! Otherwise, he’ll continue trampling over us!”
Even the people from the other forces had also chimed in.
“Silence!” Gilbert shouted loudly.
“Enough with the nonsense and just stay put! Did I give you any orders? Why are you in a
rush?” Gilbert said coldly.
“Yes, sir!” the people answered with their heads lowered.
No matter how infuriated they were, they did not dare to disobey Gilbert’s orders.
The expert martial artists were angry, but they did not dare to utter a word more either.
The TMAA was a very powerful organization, but even they were giving in to Caspian. This
showed that Caspian was truly something else.
Who would know who his next target was going to be?
Would it be the Morrison family?
It would be a sight to behold if Caspian and the Morrison family of Dhord City were to
battle each other.
Both the TMAA and Shadow Gate were the ones who looked forward to it the most.
Alas, they got it all wrong.
Caspian looked in the Morrison family’s direction when he caught sight of Jyn, gazing
lovingly at him.
Their eyes met.
+15 BONUS
Jyn was torn on the inside. Her feelings for Caspian were delicate. All she could see was
him.
On the other hand, Ginger stared at Caspian with eyes that were filled with resentment.
Nevertheless, Jyn did not say anything. She was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
When the people saw this, they were all perplexed.
What were these two doing? Why were they not saying anything?
Eventually, Caspian turned around with a sigh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe could not bring himself to insult her.
When Jyn saw him turn around, her feelings became extremely complicated.
She really wished that Caspian would strike up a conversation with her first, even if it was
an argument!
But Caspian did not say anything at all.
Tears began welling up in Jyn’s eyes.
Nonetheless, she had to regain her composure and hold her emotions back as there were
too many people around.
Otherwise, the Morrison family would be disgraced.
Gilbert and Nixon exchanged looks.
They got a feeling that something was going on between Caspian and Jyn.
What could it be?
Both of them smirked at the same time.
It was at that moment that the quakes got even more violent!
“The Eldorian Scroll fragment must be coming out!” Xandros cried out.
Everyone turned their attention to Mount Evercloud.
A crevice appeared right in the center of the mountain. It kept getting wider and wider.
When the opening was wide enough, a tomb could be seen inside the mountain.
People started wondering who it was that had built their tomb inside Mount Evercloud!
Imagine the amount of resources and manpower needed to build it!
“The Eldorian Scroll fragment is finally going to appear!” Xandros suddenly cried out as he
knelt on the ground.
+15 BONUS
The tomb belonged to the Stewart family members who had passed.
Even though the tomb had appeared, nobody dared to act recklessly, in case there were
any traps inside.
“Why don’t you get up first, Mr. Stewart Senior? Where’s the entrance to the tomb?”
Caspian asked.
“Don’t rush. There are traps inside the tomb. You’ll die if you rush in there now!” Xandros
said with a sigh as he got to his feet.
A look of concern was plastered across his face.
Humans in the past were always full of surprises.
It had already been over hundreds of years and yet these traps were still functional!
