Chapter 768 Covert Operation
Caspian replied, “Understood. If I encounter any problems in the future, I'll report
them to the Inspector General's office immediately.
“Your Majesty, you awarded me the Diatoranian medal five years ago today. If
possible, I would like to return to serve Diatoran by your side.”
“There will be opportunities. Just stay still for now. Take this time to reflect.”
Caspian’s expression turned ugly at Balthazar's words.
He was probing Balthazar earlier. Nothing had happened five years ago on this
day. The day he was honored with the title of Diatoranian God of War coincided.
with Diatoran’s victory. Balthazar couldn't have forgotten.
“By the way, do you know the details of what happened to the Massey family and
why your father, Logan, was disgraced?” Balthazar asked.
Caspian was stunned for a moment at the mention of this topic. Why would
Balthazar suddenly bring this up?
“I don't,” Caspian respectfully replied.
He sensed something amiss. Balthazar was behaving very strangely.
“Because Logan deliberately abandoned you. Also, your mother didn’t run away
from home. Logan drove her out.”
Caspian might have believed Balthazar’s words in the past. But after their
strange conversation, he began to have doubts.
He hadn't asked Balthazar about this, yet Balthazar suddenly mentioned the
Massey family. Clearly, it was brought up with a strong purpose.
Balthazar wanted to further strain Caspian’s relationship with the Massey family.
Caspian was now sure that Balthazar had indeed been manipulated. However,
he wasn't sure why Balthazar was being threatened by Jerry.
“I would never acknowledge a person like Logan as my father. I'd rather kill him,
“Caspian deliberately said.
He knew that only by expressing his stance could he appease Jerry.
After all, Jerry's greatest fear was Casplan regaining control of the military.
“Nevertheless, you must not fully trust everything Logan says,” Balthazar said
before ending the call.
At the King's residence, Balthazar collapsed as soon as he hung up the phone.
“Hahahal Casplan is quite funny. He's already in trouble himself, but he still wants
to return to the king's side,” Zane sneered.
“Although Casplan has lost his official position, he still commands respect. It
might be difficult to deal with him,” Jerry expressed his concern.
“Dad, you're overestimating Casplan. He's now a lone wolf without military.
power. We have no reason to fear him,” Kelvin dismissed.
“Who knows for sure? Casplan was dismissed by the king before, but the king
still called him back. To prevent such a thing from happening again, I must issue
an order in the king's name so that he'll never recall Casplan again.
“This way, Casplan’s followers will give up on him entirely,” Jerry said sinisterly.
Us move is like removing the source of trouble! By then, nobody will
stand by Casplan’s side anymore. We must capture Caspian alive and torture
him.
On the other end, Casplan was filled with doubts after the call. He couldn't
understand why Balthazar didn’t seek help despite being controlled.
He then called Laina.
“Yes, Lord Casplan?” Laina answered respectfully.
“How's the investigation going?” Casplan asked.
“Lord Caspian, Skyarch Palace has many secrets, and there are many
organizations within it. Various factions and seets have joined, and there are
many talented individuals I've never heard of before,” Laina reported.
“Be careful not to arouse suspicion from its members. I just spoke with His
Majesty.”
“What? Did he ask for your help? What can I do?” Laina eagerly asked, thinking
Balthazar had finally sought Casplan’s aid.
“No, it seems he has forgotten what happened before. I suspect that Jerry and
his group have controlled Balthazar’s mind,” Casplan said.
“What should we do now? The King's residence is filled with Skyarch Palace’s
people. It's difficult even for me to enter. If there's an opportunity, I can check on

His Majesty's condition,” Laina said helplessly.
She wanted to storm into the King's residence and rescue Balthazar. But the
place. was heavily guarded. She dared not act rashly.
“Don't act on your own. Avoid alerting them. Take two members of team Rose
and try to infiltrate Skyarch Palace. You might uncover some clues,” Caspian,
instructed.
Members of Task Force Rose were experts in infiltration and covert investigation.
Moreover, their identities were highly classified, making it impossible for
ordinary people to trace them.
“I got it. Jerry is surely targeting you now, so you must be careful. I'll come at
once if you need me,” Laina said with concern.
“Don't worry. Jerry can’t harm me. Focus on rescuing His Majesty.”
After saying that, Caspian ended the call. When he exited the bedroom, he found
Willow staring at him strangely.
Ever since Willow learned that Caspian was the Diatoranian God of War, she had
been wary of him, fearing he might get involved with other women.
Feeling helpless, Caspian could only tell her about his conversation with
Balthazar.
Though Willow didn't entirely believe him, she didn’t say much. She felt Caspian
had no reason to lie to her.
Seeing Caspian and Willow together, Sherry couldn't help but smile.
Just then, she approached Caspian and said, “Caspian, Logan called me.”
“What does he want?” Caspian asked coldly.
“He said for us to return to Massey Manor,” Sherry replied.
Logan intended to bring Caspian and Sherry back to Massey Manor so they
could be reunited as a family.
However, Sherry wasn't interested. She outright refused Logan.

firmly stated.
Upon hearing this, Sherry didn't press further.

The next day, while everyone was having breakfast, the doorbell rang.
Cecilia hurried to answer it, only to find Denzel with a smile standing outside the
villa. Logan was behind him.
Seeing Logan, everyone except Caspian instinctively stood up.
Caspian spoke with a displeased tone, “We're eating. Why stand up?”
