DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 781
Chapter 781 Leaving after Failure
Jett was about to succeed when Joey and her subordinates suddenly Joined the
fray. Not only were all personnel from the Inspector General's office armed, but
they also represented the stance of Diatoran’s authorities.
Even if a conflict arose between the office and Life Force, resulting in Life Force
being wiped out, Jerry could not express his disapproval about that.
“Chief Sanders, we're here under the orders of Jerry Andrews, the trusted
advisor of the King, to deal with Caspian Lynch. He has plotted to start a
rebellion. “Don't stick your nose into a business that isn't yours!” Jett mentioned
the name of his backer, intending to shock Joey into giving in.
“Under the trusted advisors orders? Do you have any proof? You don’t look like
you have any good intentions, either. So tell me, who on Earth are you?” Joey
asked coldly.
Almost everyone in Life Force had some form of criminal record, and that would
surely be revealed if the authorities investigated them.
“Chief Sanders, Caspian just committed murder when so many people were
watching. Why are you hounding me instead of going after that murderer? Are
you perhaps Caspian’s accomplice?”
Joey turned to ask Caspian, “Did you just kill someone?”
“Yeah, I did it,” Caspian replied nonchalantly.
Joey felt somewhat helpless. She had wanted to defuse the situation in
Caspian’s favor, but she could only approach it impartially now that Caspian had
admitted to committing a crime.
However, Caspian added, “All of them have interesting backgrounds, though. If
you investigate them, you'll discover their criminal records. The deaths of people
like them aren't worthy of being lamented.”
Jett was panicked upon hearing Caspian’s words, as almost everyone in Skyarch
Palace had blood on their hands. This was why they could never hold up under
an investigation.
Joey ordered, “Transport the dead body back to the office and investigate his
identity. I'll make a decision after everything is made clear.”
Two employees working for the office came over. They were about to carry the
body away when a mentee from Life Force said, “This won't do. The dead must
be

respected, which means they must be given a proper burial. You can't take the
dead body away!”
“So? Do you dare stop us from doing our jobs?” Joey asked coldly.
Jett stepped out as well, adding, “Back where we come from, it's customary that
we bury the dead as soon as possible after their deaths. Please understand that.”
He knew that this operation would end with nothing but failure, seeing as Joey
had suddenly appeared. He waved at his mentees, saying, “What are you still
standing here for? Carry the body with us! Caspian, we’ll deal with what's
between us later!”
He then left with his subordinates. Joey wanted to attack him, but Caspian
stopped her from doing so. Caspian whispered, “It's good that they're leaving.
Don't piss off these men. If Jerry issues another order, you'll have to comply
obediently anyway.”
Joey replied nonchalantly, “I'm in Southlake City, so why should I listen to him?”
Caspian advised, “Don't do anything dumb, Your position as chief of the
Inspector General's office is very important.”
“I won't let it slip a second time. If I ever hear that you've killed innocent people,
I'll arrest you myself.” Joey knew that Caspian was showing concern toward her
through his words, and it made her blush.
After Jett and his men left, Macy came over hurriedly. She looked at Caspian
worriedly, asking, “What happened, Lord Caspian? It seemed like those people
were all martial artists!”
Caspian said to her, “Why weren't you here just now? It's fortunate that Joey
came on time. I would've become an invalid otherwise.”
“I-1 went to arrest an enemy secret agent,” Macy replied.
Caspian could already guess how that ended from Macy's expression. “You
failed, didn’t you?”
This surprised Caspian. Not only was the enemy leader exceptionally skilled in
concealing himself, but he had also succeeded in escaping from under Macy's
and Laina’s watchful eyes!
It seemed that this person was really good at what he did.
“He escaped despite our efforts, but he also got shot. I've already contacted
pharmacies and hospitals nearby. I told them to take note of any suspicious
visitors,” Macy said.

Macy failed to arrest the sniper, but she was certain that she could eventually do
it as long as the enemy was still within the borders of Diatoran.
Caspian nodded and said nothing more. If this man had the ability to escape, it
meant that he was also skilled in counter—surveillance. Arresting him would not
be easy.
Macy felt guilty. “Who would've thought that he'd be hiding in the green belt?”
At this moment, Laina rushed over as well. She was also feeling discouraged
after failing to arrest the enemy's leader. Task Force Rose was known for their
skills in secret assassinations and concealment, so this incident had really taught
her a lesson.
Caspian reassured them, “It's not all your fault. This man is detail-oriented, bold,
and very skilled.”
There were more important missions that required Macy's and Laina’s prowess.
He did not want them to wallow in self-doubt. Macy and Laina had both fought
countless battles and had strong mental fortitude.
They would be executing their plan to save the King in a few days. Caspian had
been worried since learning that the King was under a spell. He wanted to do
nothing more than to charge into the King's residence and save His Majesty.
After this short intermission, the employees of Southlake Corporation got down to
work. The massive excavators and bulldozers were also put to work. Even Willow
and Zoey joined in as well.
Half an hour later, Caspian came to Willow, whose face was caked with soil and
dirt. She looked nothing like the CEO of a company.
Caspian wiped a little of the soil from Willow's face with his finger before
whispering, “Let's go home, honey. I have something else to do tonight.”
Right after saying that, Caspian heard the sounds of leather boots stepping on
the ground. He did not even need to think about who that was. It was Sylvia, of
course.
Sylvia went over to Caspian and asked in concern, “Are you still doing okay, Lord
Caspian? Where's the enemy?”

Sylvia was stunned as she did not expect Macy to attribute so much to her
tardiness.
She said, feeling wronged, “I couldn't help it, Lord Caspian. I wasn't in a position
to leave. Also, didn’t you say that you'd meet me tonight?”

Caspian was already very happy that
Sylvia could come, actually. He was
without an official position now. Jerry
would surely punish Sylvia and the
others if he learned that they had
come to meet him. The content is on

Sylvia was suddenly angered. “Macy, why are you coming after me so
relentlessly and angrily? I didn’t do anything to offend you, did 12”
She had always been close to Macy. Something was obviously not right with this
lady today!
