Chapter 792 Conflict
“You're lying! You're the one who hit me first. You said we were full of ourselves
and that we thought we could act all high and mighty because we accomplished
a major feat! Everyone heard you!” Caspian shouted.
“That's enough! This ends now. Both of you will be punished for the ruckus!”
Kelvin snapped impatiently.
“Mr. Andrews, Lucas here contributed a lot this time around. He was the one who
found the USB drive with the recording. Surely, he'll feel disheartened if he gets
punished now,” Avon quickly piped up.
“That's enough. We're all on the same side, so let's just compromise. You two are
not allowed to bring this up again, or you'll be punished severely!” Jerry warned
with a wave of his hand.
Caspian pretended to make peace with the guard.
“Carry on with your work, everyone. Lucas, come with me. You can report your
findings to Mr. Andrews,” Avon said.
Avon figured he would feel more confident if Caspian came with him.
Jerry waved him over as well.
Caspian wanted nothing more than to kill Jerry himself, but he put on a mask of
utmost respect nonetheless.
“Mr. Andrews... I...” Caspian stammered, playing the part of a timid subordinate
to perfection.
Sylvia and Avon both thought he deserved to win an award for his acting.
“Don't be scared. You did a great job! You have a bright future ahead of you,”
Jerry said with a smile as he patted Caspian on the shoulder.
Just then, two guards led Sherry over.
Without saying a word, Jerry swiftly slapped the guards in the face.
“Such insolence! How dare you treat Mrs. Massey with such disrespect?” Jerry
rebuked them.
The two guards immediately released Macy.
Macy wobbled and nearly fell. Jerry swiftly tried to hold her steady.
However, Macy didn’t want to let Jerry touch her, so she hurriedly found her

footing and stepped backward.
Jerry noticed her reaction. According to his knowledge, Sherry wasn't a trained
fighter, and yet her reflexes seemed too agile for an ordinary person.
“Mr. Andrews, it seems like Sherry has trained in basic martial arts before,”
Caspian quickly said.
“Is that so?" Jerry remarked doubtfully.
“I believe Mr. Massey taught her some basic martial arts when they were young
so that she could defend herself. She nearly fooled me too!” Caspian declared.
Jerry nodded without saying anything. He didn’t express any doubts about
Sherry’s identity either.
Caspian remained cool-headed the whole time, as if he had foreseen all
possibilities beforehand.
On the other hand, Avon and Sylvia were a little nervous. Thankfully, Jerry didn’t
notice that.
“Mr. Dunn, are you certain that someone within Skyarch Palace is working for
Caspian?” Jerry asked.
Kelvin had previously informed Jerry of the situation.
Jerry panicked when he heard that Caspian had a mole inside the King's
residence.
It was precisely what he dreaded happening the most. If something happened to
Balthazar, the Andrews family was done for.
“There are too many people around right now, Mr. Andrews. It wouldn't be wise
for us to discuss this here,” Avon murmured.
Jerry's expression stiffened. All along, he had trusted everyone in Skyarch
Palace, but now, he had to keep his guard up.
“Alright. We'll talk more inside,” Jerry said quietly.
To control Balthazar, Jerry slept in a spare bedroom within Balthazar’s private
quarters.
As everyone entered Balthazar’'s quarters, Avon paused briefly to listen to
Balthazar’s breathing.
Once he did so, he felt a little more at ease. Judging by the sound of Balthazar’s
breathing, he was in a fairly stable condition.
Caspian had mixed feelings. In the eyes of others, Caspian was Balthazar’s
+15 BONUS
subject, but he knew full well that his relationship with Balthazar was more akin to
that of friends and brothers. In fact, Balthazar even felt like a fatherly figure to
him.
The two men trusted each other completely.
Jerry smirked when he saw the distant look in the disguised Caspian’s eyes.
It was a great honor for an ordinary person to even meet Balthazar. Everyone
longed to work for the King.
Smiling, Jerry said to Caspian, “If you do a good job, I can consider letting you be
one of the guards here at the King's residence.”
“What? Really?” Caspian exclaimed in feigned shock.
“It's always good to aim high. You did well this time. I'll take it into consideration,
Jerry said.
“I only did what I was supposed to do, Mr. Andrews. It's my honor to be of service
to you,” Caspian declared respectfully.
Jerry chuckled.
Meanwhile, in a hidden chamber inside the guard barracks at the King's
residence, Lyndon was crouching on the floor. He was saying repeatedly, “I'm
Lyndon Gorp. I'm crazy. I'm a fool!
“I'm Lyndon Gorp. I'm crazy...”
Hendrik Everett, the deputy commander of the guards, grinned with glee as he
observed Lyndon’s behavior.
Lyndon had been turned into a puppet, but they couldn't let him out. Otherwise,
Balthazar's condition would be exposed as well.
Hendrik was Darren's nephew and a member of Raging Blade. At the moment,
hist days consisted of him teasing and bullying Lyndon..
As he took in Lyndon’s dazed and absentminded state, a malicious thought
began forming in his mind.
Meanwhile, the members of Life Force were assigned to the quarters originally
belonging to the Three Poisons Hall.
Since most of the members of the Three Poisons Hall were away, the place was
left vacant.
Some of the members had remained behind to guard the place, and they were
uncomfortable with the members of Life Force moving in.

As everyone was indulging in wine, Sylvia and Laina wanted to get them drunk
before heading off.
Alas, these people could hold their liquor pretty well.
Just as everyone was having a grand time, someone kicked the door open.
Sylvia glanced up and spotted a familiar figure—Lyndon!
Taken aback, Sylvia stood up and walked toward him.

He seemed perfectly normal. There was nothing unusual about his behavior.
Nevertheless, Sylvia and Laina exchanged glances. Both women kept their
guards.
