The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 771 Peace
In order to maintain his reputation, Byron had been telling others that he was
setting up a trap to catch Caspian.
But who would have thought-that Caspian would withdraw his troops midway
and Diatoran even took the initiative to sue for peace?
Seizing this opportunity, Byron propagated it wildly and claimed that Caspian was
scared off by his setup. Many citizens of Filren believed his words.
Now that Caspian has been dismissed, the fighting power of Diatoran would
plummet.
Since they had the strength to deal with Diatoran, why not demand some benefits
from them?
Many Filrenians agreed to go to war with Diatoran. They seemed to have
forgotten Caspian’s previous imposing power, or rather, they had all been
deceived by Byron's rhetoric.
Only Byron and some high-ranking officials knew about the truth of this matter.
They were not arrogant. Even though Caspian had been dismissed, they knew
that defeating Diatoran would be a very difficult task.
Manny was well aware that what Byron said was complete nonsense.
“King Byron is indeed a strategist by using the lives of tens of thousands of
soldiers to lure Caspian. But in the end, all of your soldiers died while Caspian
roamed freely.
“Is this all part of your plan, Your Majesty?” Manny asked with a smile.
Manny was a renowned diplomat, and he had caught Byron's weakness. Once
Byron admitted to what he said, he would be condemned by thousands!
“We are discussing compensation. Why do you bring up irrelevant topics? I'm
asking you whether Diatoran is willing to cede territory. If not, I will order the
troops to attack now! It will be too late for regrets by then!”
Byron had no intention of wasting time with Manny. He knew negotiations were
definitely not Manny's strong suit, so he chose to be unscrupulous.
“As far as I know, Capsian previously seized the capital of Filren. He withdrew his
troops under King Balthazar’s orders, not because he was afraid of your setup.
“King Balthazar believed that commanding war brings suffering to people, so he

kindly stopped the war. So why did you portray Caspian as a coward who chose
to flee?
“If Filren dared to go to war, I believe King Balthazar would immediately call back
Caspian to take command of the military. By then, the entire International Council
would be in chaos. Do I need to say more about Filren’s fate?” Manny argued
reasonably.
Byron had always been afraid to go to war because he feared Caspian would be
reinstated. But he certainly wouldn't admit this in front of everyone.
“Nonsense! If it weren't for Caspian fleeing in panic, my army would have
surrounded him long ago!
“Do you really think I'm afraid of Caspian? His title as the Diatoranian God of War
is nothing but an empty title!” Byron said solemnly.
“Then, let's not talk anymore! Hanley, let's go!” Manny waved his hand and
turned to leave.
Hanley Andrews was dumbfounded as he stood on the side. He was about to say
something but was pulled away by Manny.
In this negotiation, Manny was the one who called the shots, so Hanley didn’t say
much.
Hanley was Jerry's godson. Jerry instructed him not to let Filren wage war under
any circumstances. But who knew that Manny would threaten Filren by declaring
war?
If Byron declared war against Diatoran, the two of them might become villains in
the eyes of Diatoranians.
Hanley was extremely uneasy. He didn’t want to leave because he wanted to
fight a bit more and explain.
Just as the two were leaving, they heard Byron saying, “Wait! Do you really want
to plunge Diatoran into war?”
Hearing his words, Manny and Hanley felt relieved. Byron making them stay
showed that he, too, feared going to war.
“King Byron, it seems you still don't understand the situation with Diatoran. The
people are all united and are advocating for war. King Balthazar chooses to
negotiate with you because he doesn’t want to see innocent people suffer,”
Manny said calmly,
“Don’t waste time. I'll give you two days to think about it, and we'll come to a
conclusion then!” Byron waved his hand impatiently.
With that, Manny and Hanley glanced at each other and turned to leave.
As Byron watched their departing figures, his face gradually darkened. What
Manny said just now hit his sore spot.
Byron suddenly slapped his thigh, and his face was grim as he shouted, “Jason!”
“Yes, sir!"
A middle-aged man stepped forward and nodded respectfully. He was the
captain of Filren's Venomous Wolves.
“I'll give you seven days to bring Caspian’s head to me! As long as he is killed,
we can launch a full-scale attack. By then, we'll take advantage of the situation
to take over Diatoran!” Byron gritted his teeth.
Diatoran had once sent Macy to assassinate Camden. So, Byron would use the
same tactic on them.
Although Caspian no longer held an official position now, he posed a great threat
to Filren. They dared not to go to war as long as Caspian was alive.
After much consideration, Byron decided to eliminate Caspian first before making
further decisions.
“Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely bring Caspian’s head back!” Jason
smiled confidently.
Jason had thought of assassinating Caspian before. However, it was difficult for
him to carry out the operation because Caspian was surrounded by experts back
then.
Now that Caspian no longer held an official position, Jason was absolutely
confident in killing him.
Outside the Riverside Villa, Kate held a box of herbal tea.
Every time she met someone, she claimed she and Logan were in-laws.
Carl felt like he was going to die of embarrassment. He didn’t want to be seen
with her as it was all too embarrassing.

Kate was about to curse Carl and
Caspian, but she suddenly
remembered that Caspian was no
longer what he used to be. He was
now the heir of the Massey family.

Carl's face was bitter. He felt that bringing these gifts was a bit too pathetic.
Caspian walked out of the hall and furrowed his brows when he saw Kate's
smiley face. He always felt that she had ill intentions.
“Dad! Please come in quickly,” Caspian said, smiling at Carl.
When Kate saw this scene, she couldn't contain her anger. Caspian was ignoring
her!
However, Kate didn’t consider herself an outsider. When she saw Sherry, she
rushed over.
“Sherry, it's been a few days, and I missed you so much!” Kate warmly said as
she grasped Sherry’s hands tightly.
“Why did you come all of a sudden? And with gifts at that. You're too kind,"
Sherry said with a smile.
No matter what Caspian did, she still had to maintain a facade as an elder.
