The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 322 Declaration of War

Charles sat on the sofa with a sunken yet serious expression.

Jean seemingly came home in a hurry. “Dad, I just tried to visit the governor, but Deputy Gibson was standing guard at the front and barred everyone from visiting.”

He felt slighted as he was used to being welcomed by Gibson with a big smile whenever he visited the governor. But now, Gibson had given him a complete shilft of attitude.

The deputy no longer had to treat him with any respect.

Jean was filled with immense anger, but he had nowhere to vent his frustrations.

New Bay as a whole had been shifting ever since Caspian appeared within the city.

The Hoff family gradually lost all their power and authority. Jean couldn’t have everyone bend over to his every whim any longer.

He had never seen his family in such disarray in his life.

“You can’t stay here anymore. You need to leave as soon as possible,” replied Charles.

Jean began to panic. “But why, Dad? I can’t just leave at a time like this! Our family fortune hasn’t made it out yet! I can’t go yet!”

“New Bay isn’t safe anymore. I’m sure all of this is happening because Caspian wants to get rid of our family, and transferring all of our money is out of the question. You need to leave now, or else it’ll be too late!” answered Charles.

Charles could only wonder if Caspian was more powerful than he could ever imagine.

It was game over for the Hoffs.

Jean began to tear up. “But Dad,

He couldn’t comprehend how a mere good–for–nothing son–in–law of the Stewart family could be so powerful.

The Hoffs had never had any interactions with Southlake City for the decades they had been building their empire within New Bay,

Nobody could understand why Caspian came all the way here to make enemies out of the Hoffs.

Jean felt both angry and terrified as tears flowed down his cheeks. He was afraid that his upcoming days would be spent on the run overseas without ever having the chance to settle down.
