The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 438 Greeted by a Sea of Fans

Elijah sneered. He was thoroughly aware of what kind of subordinates he had. They all wanted to take his place.

Nevertheless, he didn’t care about that. They had banded together for selfish reasons and were using each other anyway. He would choose to close an eye as long as their actions didn’t go too

“Surely you don’t believe him, Mr. Burton? We only have his word as proof,” Asher piped up, stoking the flames once more.

He wasn’t going to rest until he had Gilbert executed.

Gilbert scowled at Asher, who was blatantly trying to get him in trouble, but he couldn’t do anything. Elijah could dictate his fate with just a single word.

“Seamus, what information do you have on Caspian Lynch?” Elijah asked as he looked at a bearded old man beside him.

Seamus Goate, the bearded old man, stood up and said, “Caspian Lynch previously served in the army for a few years. He’s now the Stewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law. His wedding had been an extravagant affair.

“Southlake City is filled with many rumors about him. It’s said that he has connections with John Anderson, the high–ranking general from South Aridlands. He doesn’t seem ordinary, and some say he possesses an extraordinary identity…”

“Oh? Is that so?” Elijah remarked in surprise.

The identity of Caspian, the so–called matrilocal son–in–law, wasn’t as simple as everyone else thought.

Moreover, he now had the Eldorian Scroll fragment, which meant he must’ve grown even more powerful.

Elijah wouldn’t be able to rest easy until Caspian was eliminated.

He glanced at Gilbert, and that act alone was enough to make the latter tremble.

Gilbert didn’t know what was going to become of him.

“Gilbert, you failed in your mission, and it led to a serious loss for us. Hence, you should be punished heavily for that. But since you’ve done your best, a simple punishment will suffice.

“You will receive a hundred lashings, after which you’ll be confined to your quarters for five days,” Elijah said.

Gilbert was relieved. He had expected to die for his failure. This outcome was indeed far more acceptable to him.
