Chapter 795 At a Loss
Concerned about Balthazar’s condition, Jerry immediately rushed back to
Balthazar's bedroom after finishing his exchange with Byron.
By the time he got back, Avon, disguised as Jett, had already completed
Balthazar’s health check. Balthazar looked extremely pale.
Startled, Jerry swiftly asked, “Is His Majesty alright, Mr. Dunn?”
“I never thought Caspian would be this vicious! His Majesty has been poisoned,
but thankfully, I discovered it in time,” Avon informed with a sigh.
“Is His Majesty's life in any danger? I've assigned doctors to keep an eye on his
condition at all times, so why didn’t they detect anything unusual?” Jerry asked in
concern.
“As I said, Caspian’s a vicious man. He used a colorless, odorless poison that's
hard to detect. If I hadn't used life force to check on His Majesty's condition, the
poison would've gone undetected. Thank goodness we caught it in time,” Avon
said solemnly.
“Tell me the truth, Mr. Dunn. How is His Majesty now?" Jerry questioned.
frantically.
“I used life force to quell the poison, so for the time being, His Majesty isn't in any
danger. However, his body is weak. For the time being, you need to avoid using
witchcraft on him. Otherwise, it'll only harm his body further.
“Furthermore, it's possible that the spell might clash with the poison in his body
and fail as a result.”
Jerry felt a little less worried after hearing Avon's response.
Thankfully, he now held most of the real power in Diatoran. Even without
Balthazar, he wielded enough power to get things done.
Although Byron was being rather aggressive, he was clearly hesitant and
wouldn't dare to declare war just yet.
Right now, Caspian was the only person Jerry was concerned about. Caspian
was his biggest threat.
“Thank you for everything you've done, Mr. Dunn. You look tired. Why don’t you
stay the night here at the King's residence?” Jerry suggested with a smile.
Avon was startled. Not many could enjoy such a privilege.

In any case, Avon was no fool either. He wasn't going to stick around at the
King's residence any longer than necessary. He'd have to be on his guard at all
times.
“I'm nothing but a lowly man, Mr. Andrews. It has already been a great honor for
me to even meet His Majesty. I still have matters to attend to, and I need to check
on my subordinates too,” Avon said as he silently ushered the injured Lucas.
toward the door.
Jerry didn’t try to keep Avon. He simply instructed his people to walk them out.
Once Avon was gone, Jerry returned to Balthazar’s bed. He shook his head as
he observed Balthazar’s frailty.
“You'd better hang in there a little longer, you old fogey.”
At Dhord City, Logan had prepared a lavish villa for Sherry. Ever since he got the
news, he got restless and couldn't stop pacing around.
Logan felt excited and nervous at the same time. He had also prepared a gift to
welcome Sherry.
Dark smoke rolled out of a cave outside Southlake City. Soon, two disheveled
men rushed out while coughing hard.
They were the real Warren and Lucas.
After escaping, they hid in a remote cave. To avoid being discovered, they even
cooked and relieved themselves inside the cave.
Alas, on this occasion, the smoke got too choking. They were forced to leave the
cave for air.
As soon as they emerged, they spotted a few inspectors from the Inspector
General's office.
Before they could register what was happening, Joey and her subordinates
apprehended them.
“Chief Sanders, I think these two men are martial arts fighters. Should we report
this to the higher—ups?” one of the inspectors asked.
Joey shook her head. She knew who these two were, so it was better to avoid
reporting them to the superiors for the time being.
“That won't be necessary. They're just petty thieves. We'll lock them up
Joey said.

Over at Raging Blade, Theo was sitting imposingly in front of everyone.
Darren was away, and as the vice head of Raging Blade, Theo was naturally able
to lord over everyone else.
At last, he got a taste of how it felt to be superior to everyone. He relished it very
much. Prior to this, he didn’t hold any sort of noteworthy rank in Raging Blade.
“Mr. Russell, now that Life Force has captured Caspian’s mother, we need to
make a good showing too. If not, they might climb over our heads!” Cornelius
Eckert, the second elder of Raging Blade, exclaimed.
Ever since Theo became the vice head, he idled his days away without doing
anything worthwhile.
He had no respect for the others either, be it the elders or the protectors.
“Oh? Do you have some sort of brilliant idea, Mr. Eckert?” Theo commented
condescendingly.
Cornelius was infuriated by Theo's smug demeanor.
In the past, Theo was a nobody. Somehow, he became the vice head.
Since Theo was favored by Darren, Cornelius had no choice but to be respectful.
I just have a suggestion. Why don't we capture Caspian’s wife? We can use her
as our trump card too.”
“That's a good idea. Why don't you handle that?” Theo suggested indifferently.
Cornelius was irate, and everyone else was pissed as well. However, they
couldn't do anything about it.
Just then, one of the subordinates rushed in and cried out in alarm, “Bad news,
Mr. Russell! Mr. Hendrik has been killed!”
Hendrik, of course, was Darren's nephew.
Everyone in Raging Blade assumed that Hendrik would be the next head of
Raging Blade. Darren didn't have a son, so he raised Hendrik as if he were his
own son.
Naturally, this was sorrowful news to everyone—except for Theo. On the
contrary, he was thrilled. Now that Hendrik was dead, Theo had an even higher

As soon as Theo said the word, all the Raging Blade members rose to their feet.
They wanted to avenge Hendrik. Plus, this was also a good chance to curry favor
with Darren.
Somewhere in Dhord City, Sylvia and Laina were pacing impatiently outside a
hidden room.
Both had worried expressions as they waited for news.
Soon, the door opened, and Avon came out.
“Have you found a solution?” Sylvia asked anxiously.
Avon sighed and shook his head.
