    Chapter 152 An Ambitious Person


    With just another woman in tow, Caspian came over and demanded to seize the assets of the Yorks of


    Soutke City. It meant that he hade prepared.


    As the oldest daughter of the York family of Dhord City, Celestia was a sharp woman. She did not belie


    ve that a man as bold as Caspian would be the useless matrilocal son–in–


    In response to her earlier question, Caspian said indifferently, “That’s none of your business.


    “Fine, but this isn’t over yet! Just you wait!”


    Celestia did not waste her breath. She helped Adam up and left.


    She knew full well there was no point in her staying. Adam could not defeat Caspian and Sylvia.


    The Yorks had to get someone even stronger over to deal with them.


    Staring after Celestia’s retreating back, Caspian grew thoughtful.


    He could tell she was an intelligent woman who knew how to cut her losses.


    That being said, anyone who got in the way of the investigative team would pay with their life.


    So what if the Yorks of Dhord City got involved? In Caspian’s eyes, they were nothing.


    “Caspian, would it be a problem if we got into conflict with the Yorks of Dhord City?” Sylvia


    asked.


    “Why would it be a problem? The investigative team has been given enough power,” Caspian said with


    a chuckle


    Sylvia nodded. Caspian had a point.


    Though the Yorks were somewhat of an influential family, they were insignificant to Caspian.


    Furthermore, the King of Diatoran had bestowed the investigative team with sufficient


    authority.


    Upon seeing that Celestia had left in a hurry, Geoffrey turned pale with fear.


    He thought he could make it big in Soutke City with the help of the Yorks from Dhord City.


    “You must be the York family’s only survivor, huh? If you want to stay alive, settle the paperwork at onc


    e,” Sylvia said to Geoffrey after approaching him.


    The rest of the Yorks in Soutke City were gone. It did not matter that he had survived.


    Since he was alive, it meant he had not gone to the Cliff of Death that day, so he did not need.


    175-


    “Yes, of course. I’ll do it right away!” Geoffrey responded helplessly.


    When his life was at stake, nothing else mattered.


    After seizing the York family’s assets, Caspian headed to Soutke Corporation to see Willow.


    “What’s the matter, hubby? Why


    did youe to the office to look for me today?” Willow asked. She was surprised to find that Caspian


    hade to thepany.


    “What did you just call me?” Caspian asked dazedly.


    It was Willow’s first time addressing him as hubby.


    Caspian felt a warm, gooey feeling washing over him.


    “Oh. I called you hubby. What about it?” Willow asked with augh.


    She and Caspian had grown a lot closer these days.


    “N–Nothing. I have something to tell you,” Caspian said after calming himself down.


    He could sense that his rtionship with Willow was improving. They were bing more like a marri


    ed couple now.


    back to my wor


    “What is it? Go on. I need to getter,” Willow said.


    She had just be the CEO and had a lot of things to handle every day.


    “My old ssmate suddenly told me that he bought over York Group before he left for abroad. This is th


    e agreement,” Caspian said as he ced the agreement on Willow’s desk.


    Willow was startled.


    “Which York family does this York Group belong to?” Willow asked while checking the


    agreement.


    “Is there another York family in Soutke City?” Caspian asked.


    “Huh?”


    Willow was stunned.


    She was already swamped with work while trying to manage Soutke Corporation, but now, there wa


    s York Group as well!


    Just how rich was Caspian’s old ssmate?


    “Alright, you can get back to work now. I still have other things to attend to, so I’ll get going,” Caspian s


    aid. He knew he needed to give Willow time to digest the news.


    One thing was for certain. In theing days, Willow was going to be extremely busy.

    At the same time, everyone else found out that Soutke Corporation had bought over York Group.


    Willow’s name was the talk of Soutke City.


    Over at Regal Club, Leonardo was holding a cup of coffee in one hand while flipping through some doc


    uments with the other. He studied the information carefully.


    It seemed to be a detailed report about a certain someone. He began reading some of the information


    aloud.


    “Caspian Lynch, the matrilocal son–in–


    “Over a month ago, he held a grand wedding. He had conflicts with the York family and Flying Dragons.


    He even helped Joey Sanders, the current head of the Inspector General’s office, wipe out many of the


    men from Flying Dragons.


    “A week ago, the York family hired Dark des, a team of hitmen, to kill Caspian, but the hitmen disapp


    eared without a trace! The massacre of the York family and Flying Dragons


    seems to be rted to Caspian, but there’s no means of getting more concrete information!”


    Leonardo was thunderstruck.


    Was Caspian truly nothing more than a matrilocal son–inw?


    Was he the one who massacred the York farmily and Flying Dragons?


    “Leonardo!”


    e out.


    Celestia’s voice suddenly rang


    Snapping out of his reverie, Leonardo spotted the pale–


    faced Adam with a streak of blood on the corner of his lips.


    “What happened?” Leonardo eximed in shock.


    “Mr. Bassett got hit,” Celestia exined.


    Leonardo and The Reaper exchanged nces.


    Who would have the nerve to attack someone from the York family of Dhord City? Moreover, Adam was


    a tier–two expert. How could an ordinary person injure him?


    “Who hit Mr. Bassett?” Léonardo asked hesitantly.


    “I don’t know her name. I just know she was with Caspian Lynch,” Celestia replied as she shook her hea

    She did not expect a woman to defeat Adam.


    “Caspian Lynch?”


    Leonardo froze at the mention of Caspian’s name.


    “How are your investigationsing along?” Celestia asked.


    “Ms. York, I’ve found some clues. I was just about to report them to you. ording to the news and infor

    “Who is it?” Celestia questioned.


    “Caspian Lynch!” Leonardo answered.


    Was it truly the Caspian she had met earlier?

    Celestia was taken aback. When she saw Caspian’s seemingly aloof demeanor, she had a feeling he wa


    “Leonardo, send some people to kill Caspian


    at once! Since he dared to attack us, we can’t let him get away with it!” Celestia dered coldly.


    Caspian had not only taken over the York family’s business, but his subordinate had even injured Adam.


    Celestia would not let this matter slide..
