The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 639 A Close Call

Many soldiers were already standing guard around Jade Dragon Grand Hotel. Right after bullets were

fired, the soldiers knew that someone was attempting to assassinate Balthazar, so they immediately

joined the fray.

Macy and her Phoenix Vanguard were shocked to see the flashes of gunfire in the skyscraper not far

away.

"Phoenix Vanguard! Come with me! We're killing these secret agents!" Macy ordered. She led the

Phoenix Vanguard and charged toward the building.

The soldiers at Jade Dragon Grand Hotel fired aggressively. It was basically impossible for those

snipers to leave, so they could only hide for now and think of ways to strike.

Macy and the Phoenix Vanguard dashed toward the building the fastest they could.

Laina knew that she was in danger when on the topmost floor. There was nothing that could shield her

from attacks, and there was a high possibility she would be shot by snipers. Thus, she crouched down

so that her position would not be exposed.

Suddenly, a bullet whooshed past the top of Laina's head. Her heartbeat accelerated from the shock.

She would have lost her life if she had been a bit slower!

After fighting on the battlefield for so many years, she had become very observant and developed very

sharp senses. She knew that those snipers would surely kill her, and that was why she had hidden

herself.

She knew that she could not stay here for too long as the snipers would not stop there and would

continue firing at her.

She bent down and took a turn into a corner where the bullets would fail to hit her before taking her

phone out and calling Caspian. Someone was trying to assassinate Balthazar—this had to be reported

to Caspian as soon as possible.

Caspian was woken up from his sleep by the chime of his phone. He took the call immediately when he

saw that it was Laina who called. "What happened, Laina?"

"Lord Caspian, someone is attempting to assassinate the King!" Laina reported.

Caspian had been bleary from sleep, but he was wide awake immediately after hearing that.

"How's the King? What's the current situation like?" Caspian asked.

"There are many snipers stationed on tall buildings near the hotel. They're firing at the King's room. His

current status is unconfirmed," Laina answered truthfully. She had no idea about the situation inside the

hotel.

Caspian looked serious upon hearing that. If Balthazar was the target of snipers, it was very possible

that he might not survive this!

"I ordered you time after time to ensure that the King is safe. Why would this still happen? If something

happens to the King, you all will be punished following the military law!" Caspian was furious.

"I apologize for my carelessness," Laina said.

"Okay, cut the crap. The King's status is unconfirmed as of yet. You'll continue working on countering

the enemy's attacks while I'll go over there immediately and see what's going on!" Caspian ended the

call.

Someone attempted to assassinate Balthazar in his territory. If something were to happen, he would

not be able to take on the responsibility.

He ran out of the bedroom as quickly as he could, startling both Willow and Zoey.

"Why are you running out so fast, Caspian?" Willow asked.

"I'm heading out to Jade Dragon Grand Hotel," Caspian shouted.

"Huh? Why are you going there in the middle of the night?" Willow asked.

"I have an emergency to deal with." Caspian was not in the mood to go into detail. He had to rush over

there as soon as possible and make sure Balthazar was safe.

Willow and Zoey were surprised to see Caspian so ruffled. He was always calm and collected even

when met with extreme danger, but he was obviously anxious today.

It was because this concerned Balthazar's safety. Caspian dared not be careless.

"Armored Battalion! You guys are heading to Jade Dragon Grand Hotel with me now to guard the King!"

Caspian shouted. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Caspian did not take all the soldiers in the battalion with him now. Some of them stayed to protect

Willow.

There were many soldiers at the hotel. If the King managed to react on time, nothing should happen to

him, not when he was under the protection of everyone else present.

Caspian and the soldiers drove to Jade Dragon Grand Hotel at breakneck speed.

"What would make Caspian head to the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel so hastily?" Zoey asked in

confusion.

"Something really important, perhaps." Willow guessed.

"The enemy troops in Southlake City were all repelled, though. What other important matters are

there? Have the enemy troops reemerged in the city?" Zoey asked.

"I'm not sure. Caspian said that he has to protect the King, though. Is His Majesty in the city?" Willow

said.

Caspian had not told Willow about Balthazar's arrival in Southlake City since Balthazar's whereabouts

were top secret, and Caspian was not one to tell other people about it carelessly.

"Maybe. Otherwise, why would Caspian look so panicked?" Zoey said.

"That's why he left after taking a call from Benjamin," Willow said exasperatedly. Caspian had left to

take a call while in the middle of having sex with Willow.

Aside from matters concerning the King, what else would make Caspian so panicked?

"The King's arrival in this small city is quite surprising. I don't know what His Majesty looks like. Maybe

we should go there and take a look?" Zoey said excitedly.

"Don't cause trouble, Zoey. As if we have the right to meet the King!" Willow said.

"You're the God of War's wife, Willow. Of course you have the right to meet the King. If I come with you,

I'll get to do so as well," Zoey said.

"The King's under attack now, so we shouldn't cause more trouble," Willow said.

…

Lyndon lay face down on the ground, listening to the gunfire sounds gradually subside, signaling that

the enemy snipers were suppressed.

"Quick! Protect the King as he leaves this place!" Lyndon yelled.

The guards stood up immediately.

"We're evacuating this place, Your Majesty!" Lyndon helped Balthazar up.

"Let's leave before everything else!" Balthazar said after getting up.

At this moment, the Diatoranian higher-ups arrived outside Balthazar's room. They shouted outside the

room, "How are you doing, Your Majesty?"

"Are you doing well, Your Majesty?"

"I apologize for being late. Please punish me for my tardiness!"

"Get out of the way! Don't block the way!" Lyndon shouted angrily. Did they have shit for brains? With

how they were blocking his escape path, were they trying to kill Balthazar?

After coming to the realization, the higher-ups quickly stepped aside. Lyndon guarded Balthazar as

they left the room, followed by the guards.

Laina continued engaging in battle after ending the call. However, she was suddenly met with a scene:

a secret agent was aiming a mortar at Balthazar's suite.

Laina was panicked. If the missile was fired, it was very possible that things would be bad for

Balthazar!
