Chapter 751 Protests.
Zane stepped forward and explained, “Dad, It seems that Filren had Just sent out
envoys. They're waiting for us at West Aridlands for a peace falk.”
Jerry asked, “Are our envoys ready?”
Zane nodded and replied, “Everything is ready.”
“Very well. I'll leave the peace talk to you. Remember not to anger them, and try
your best to meet their demands.”
“What if they make some outrageous requests? Do I have to agree to
everything?”
“Just ask me if you're not sure. We can accept their requests so long as it's
reasonable. Our goal is to make sure war never breaks out so that we can
continue to control Diatoran.”
Zane nodded and replied, “Of course!”
Jerry assigned each of his two sons to different tasks.
Zane would be leading the envoys and flying from Dhord City to West Aridlands.
for a peace talk with the Filrenian envoys.
Kelvin would be sent to gather fighters from Skyarch Palace to begin
preparations for kidnapping Miranda to force Tom to give up the Black Moon
Technique Scroll.
Meanwhile, Denzel prepared a very generous gift.
Logan made arrangements to bring Denzel and some of his bodyguards to
Southlake City.
The purpose of this trip was to meet with Caspian and Sherry.
News of Diatoran sending envoys for a peace talk at West Aridlands soon
reached the public, and the citizens were outraged.
They never expected that Filren would invade Diatoran again when the country
was once defeated by the Diatoranlan God of War.
And the most shocking news of all was that Diatoran now had essentially
surrendered as they opted for a peace talk.
The peace talk hadn't officially begun, but Diatoranians had already started to
march on the streets in protest.

They shouted their frustrations out in public and admonished Jerry for being an
incompetent coward for opting for a peace talk.
Some citizens had even started insulting Balthazar.
They were furious at Balthazar for deposing Caspian, which resulted in Diatoran
ending up in its current state.
The streets of Southlake City were filled with citizens protesting against begging
for mercy from Filren.
Caspian and Willow had gone out of the house to look for gifts and were
surprised by the chaos around the city.
The citizens were shouting for Jerry's resignation on the streets.
They were also calling for Caspian to be reinstated and to punish Filren for their
arrogance.
Diatoranians were all fondly missing their invincible Diatoranian God of War.
Willow exclaimed, “It seems that Diatoranians hate Jerry a lot, and they're also
calling for your return. Maybe His Majesty will soon reinstate you back to your
post.”
Caspian explained, “It's not as easy as you think. Jerry had been plotting his way
up to be the king's trusted advisor for a very long time. He wouldn't let go of his
power anytime soon.”
“Who knows? With how loud the protests are going, maybe even Jerry would
have to step down from his position as the advisor.
“Not possible. Jerry had also taken over the police when he became the advisor.
I'm sure he’ll send them to silence the public soon.”
Willow asked, “Is he really going to go against the public's wishes?”
Caspian explained, “Not just that. He's also going to kill the loudest folk that led
the protest.
“Then, we should stop the protesters now so they won't be in any danger!”
“It's not up to us. Besides, other cities around Diatoran also have protests going
on.”
Willow asked, “Are we just going to watch as civilians are being killed?”
She didn’t want her fellow patriotic Diatoranians to be murdered.
Caspian angrily explained, “The only thing we can do now is to secure evidence.

to prove that Jerry is guilty and depose him from being the advisor to the king.
Otherwise, Diatoran would be destroyed entirely.
“But it won't be easy with how Jerry is controlling the entirety of Diatoran right
now.”
“We can think about it later. Let's go home for now.”
Caspian was not in the mood to talk about Jerry.
Willow nodded and replied, “Okay.”
After going home, Willow also invited Tom and Aria to join them at Marilyn's
birthday banquet.
Tom and Aria declined the invitation. They weren't very well acquainted with the
Stewart family, after all.
They were also worried that they might be humiliated by the Stewarts if they did
show up.
Willow respected their decisions and went to Stewart Residence with Caspian
and Sherry.
While the three were on the way to Stewart Residence, Logan had arrived at
Southlake City Airport.
After getting off the plane, Logan and all his men were picked up by chauffeurs
provided by the big shots of Southlake City.
The Massey family had been a loyal subject to Diatoran for generations, with
their ancestors being one of the founders of the country. It was expected that
they would receive special treatment.
The Masseys might not be as powerful as they used to be, but the common folk
still treat them with utmost respect.
Logan's effort at stopping Quinton at Tenby Passage had bought precious time
for Caspian and Balthazar.
As a result, Balthazar also restored some of the Massey family’s power and
authority.
And the most important news of all was that everyone in the military had learned
that Logan was Caspian’s biological father.
Nobody knew when said news had become widespread.

Even though Caspian had been deposed, all of his subordinates still treated him
with utmost respect.
He continued to serve as an example in the military.
Now that the entirety of Diatoran disapproved of Jerry, they were also calling for
Caspian’s return. Everyone wished to see Caspian back as the Diatoranian God
of War as soon as possible.
Regardless of Logan's current title, his connection with Caspian was already
enough for the troops to treat him with respect as he touched down at Southlake
City.
Dozens of tanks would march to Stewart Residence from the airport.
Meanwhile, at Stewart Residence, the entire premise was crowded as all sorts of
big shots across Southlake City gathered to celebrate Marilyn's birthday.
The Stewarts were not a particularly influential family, but most of the guests
were here to befriend Caspian.
They had also brought generous gifts during their visit.
Marilyn was all smiles and had momentarily forgotten about Henry's tragic
execution.
The rest of the Stewarts were also overjoyed as they welcomed the guests with
open arms.
Caspian, Willow, and Sherry arrived at the house as the banquet was about to
begin.
Alicia had been welcoming the guests at the entrance and was shocked to see
Caspian and Willow's arrival.
She had already told them that the Stewarts only intended to humiliate them, yet
they still came.
Even more surprising was the fact that they had even brought Sherry along.
Alicia could imagine just how badly the Stewarts would try to humiliate all three of
them later.
