Chapter 811
Chapter 811 There’s No Longer Any Hope
Even an official as righteous as Mark Sheppard was accused of committing a
crime he did not commit. When the other higher—ups saw that, they were terrified
as they understood why Zane did that in the first place—he was doing this to
eliminate people who did not defer to him.
At this moment, a bewitchingly beautiful woman entered the room. This woman
named Harriet Lowe used to be a prostitute, but Zane was madly in love with her,
to the extent of marrying her.
Helplessly and in an attempt to preserve his dignity, Jerry could only claim
outwardly that Harriet came from a noble, respectable family. She also became
Zane's personal secretary.
“Honey, Filren is ready to go to war. Our king has also made an announcement
saying that Diatoran will face them head-on,” Harriet whispered.
Zane was shocked. He knew his father as a cowardly man who would not
propose starting a war, but now the King had announced that they would be
facing their enemies head-on.
Something was obviously off with that.
Having a bad premonition, Zane waved impatiently and announced that the
meeting would end. Relieved, the other higher—ups left the meeting venue
immediately.
Only after everyone else’s departure did Zane ask, “What exactly happened?
Why did they start a war against each other?”
“How would I know? You should give your dad a call and ask what's up with that,
Harriet said.
Zane nodded and called the landline in the King’s bedroom. The moment the call
went through, he asked immediately, “What's happening, Dad? Why is the King
suddenly announcing that we'll go to war?”
This call took Avon by surprise. He knew that Jerry had two sons, but he could
not tell one’s voice from the other.
“The King of Filren wants to start a war. It's not something I can control,” he said
helplessly.
“This war can't start, Dad! If the two countries go to war, the Four Champions will
surpass our family in terms of status. Perhaps they all want Caspian to be

restored to his former post too! This will put us at a disadvantage!” Zane said,
irritated.
“The King is still here with us, so what's there to fear? Return to the King’s
residence quickly. As long as we can still hold him hostage, we won't need to
worry about anything.”
Avon was worried that he would make a mistake if he spoke too much, so he
quickly ended the call after a few simple sentences.
“Something's not right, honey. Watch this.” As Harriet spoke, she played a video
of the King's live broadcast.
Zane took a look. The King appeared to be energetic onscreen, completely unlike
someone who was under control.
“Crap, our family is done for! Our comfortable days are coming to an end, honey!
Zane screamed, looking absolutely crushed.

“Huh? How's that possible? Didn't you just talk to your dad? He'd surely tell you if
something’s wrong.” Harriet noticed that something was not right, but she did not
expect the problem to be that serious.
“We can never go back there. We'll look for a safe place and hide there. Maybe
the person who talked to me over the phone just now wasn't even Dad. That's
why his voice sounded weird to me!”
Zane was panicking. He had sensed that something was not right on the phone
earlier. He suddenly felt like the Andrews family was in deep trouble. It felt like
they were being manipulated by a pair of big, invisible hands.
“Don't you have a friend who's in Astronia now? Perhaps we can seek refuge
with him?” Harriet whispered.
That made Zane somewhat displeased. Harriet had served a plethora of men,
including that friend of his, who often sought Harriet out back then. Zane had also
heard some rumors that Harriet was having an affair with him.
Seeking refuge with that friend now was basically equivalent to giving his wife to
him, was it not?

When Harriet saw Zane's expression, she said coquettishly, “We're in difficult
times now. Where has your mind gone to? I'm already yours, so why would you
care about other people? No matter what, I'll only love you and you alone.”
Zane did not believe in Harriet's words at all, but it seemed that he had no decent
choice at this point in time. Helpless, he could only have his subordinates
arrange for his escape to Astronia.

Kelvin, who knew that the Andrews family was about to be done for, was rushing
to the airport together with a dozen guards who were also holding Macy hostage.
“Mort, escort Sherry to my car. The other cars will follow after mine,” Kelvin
shouted.
Macy whispered to Mort, “He’s a traitor now. You have to think it through. If you
follow the orders of a traitor, the rest of your life will be over!”
“Don't worry, Godma. I'll protect you no matter what, but we should go with it for
now and see what happens after,” Mort said.
He had been looked down on by many other people, and that was why he felt like
Sherry was the person who was the nicest to him.
Jethro headed to the guards’ headquarters to treat his wounds. However, when
he left, he realized that all the guards were gone. Only now did he realize what
had happened-Kelvin had escaped.
Enraged, he cursed vehemently, “Kelvin, you bastard! I told you such important
news, and yet you abandoned me and ran away!”
Jethro knew that he had to latch onto Kelvin as Kelvin had the trump card named
Sherry in his hands. He would only have a chance at survival if he was with
Kelvin.
Without much thought, he rushed to the garage in the basement. At this moment,
he heard the sound of an engine revving, which made a grin bloom on his face.
“Has Kelvin not departed yet?”
At that thought, Jethro took off into a run toward the direction of the noise.
However, when he reached a junction and saw the car, he was left dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, the people who exited
the car were Jett and his mentees,
followed by a large team of Life
Force members. Jethro already knew
that Jett was actually Caspian under
disguise, so he dared not act rashly.

Sylvia nodded. She was disguised as one of Jett's mentees, so she had to listen
to his orders.
“You guys, search this place thoroughly!” Sylvia commanded her men

immediately.
These members of Life Force had disliked the guards since long ago. Naturally,
they were happy to see the guards so undignified,
Upon witnessing this scene, Jethro dared not stay any longer. He turned tail and
ran.
Caspian and the others did not spot Jethro. Casplan had assumed that Jethro
had escaped together with Kelvin.

tightly. He was terrified and
completely at a loss about what he
should do next. Also, he could not
just stay here as he would end up
dead anyway if he was discovered.
