    Chapter 331 The Sequestration of the Hoff Family


    Before Charles coulde to his senses, the masked man had grabbed hold of him and was about to


    escape.


    “I’ll be sure to pay you back for this, punk! Now that you’ve offended Shadow Gate, there’s nothing left


    for you except death!” the masked man said to Caspian spitefully.


    Then, he took Charles with him and left the hall.


    “Don’t let them get away!” Alton shouted urgently.


    A group of armed soldiers chased after the masked man but to no avail.


    The masked man was simply too fast for ordinary men to catch up with.


    Caspian was surprised.


    Nheless, he did not run after the masked man.


    The timing of this man’s appearance was suspicious. It was too much of a coincidence.


    It was obvious he had been hiding in the dark, waiting for the right moment to attack.


    Considering how he could hide his presence so well and even escape Caspian’s notice, his powers ha


    d to be much greater than Charles‘.


    He had been punched in the face by Caspian and was still able to run away.


    Caspian’s punch was lethal. He could easily use it to kill an innate grandmaster.


    Could it be that this person had the strength of a supreme grandmaster?


    He could also be even more powerful than a supreme grandmaster.


    Caspian’s mind was racing. He was trying to guess the real identity of the masked man.


    A few minutes had passed before Alton rushed over.


    “I have a report for you, Mr. Lynch! The men had let Charles and the masked man escape. We deserve


    to be punished!” Alton said guiltily.


    He had let two injured men escape even when he had hundreds of armed soldiers chasing after them.


    Alton was disappointed by his own ipetence.


    He felt uneasy as well. He feared Caspian would remove him from the governor’s position in a fit of rag


    e.


    He might be the governor, but he was powerless before Caspian.


    If Caspian were to give an order, he would be impeached right away.


    “What’s done is done. You’re not to me. It’s normal you weren’t able to catch up with them.


    “This person’s skilled,” Caspian said as he nced at Alton briefly.


    Having confronted the masked man personally, Caspian had him figured out.


    The masked man’s breathing was controlled. He was a real fighter with solid skills.


    Ordinary men like Alton would never be able to catch him.


    Alton was relieved to see that Caspian was not angry.

    He was afraid Caspian would be angry and fire him as a result.


    “Now that Charles has escaped, what’s our next move, Mr. Lynch?” Alton asked respectfully.


    “Investigate the Hoff family at once and seize all their funds. Begin the crackdown on New Bay’s under


    ground forces.


    ‘As for their casinos, I’m sure you know what you need to do, right?” Caspian said with at


    smile.


    “Also, I hope that you can be upright in carrying out your duty of sequestering the Hoff family’s estates.


    “If I catch you coveting their estates, don’t me me for being merciless!”


    The Hoff family’s multigenerational wealth would naturally tempt anyone who came across it.


    Some people might even attempt to run off with a portion of the money.


    Caspian had to warn Alton and his men in case they were thinking of doing something of the


    sort.


    “I wouldn’t dare! Rest assured, Mr. Lynch. I’ll personally handle the operation myself!” Alton said. His ba


    ck was already soaked in cold sweat.


    He knew very well that Caspian was a man of his word.


    In the past, Alton might have turned a blind eye.


    Now that they were at a critical juncture, anyone who dared to disrupt the operation would be punished!


    Caspian eyed Alton onest time before leaving


    Once the night was over, the Hoff family would be gone.


    Charles went from being a God of Gambling to a vagabond.


    He would no longer be a threat.


    The heavy downpour never stopped.


    It was a rainy night. Casn walked into the rain while holding a ck umbre.


    He had an imposing presence.


    After Caspian finished his task, he left quietly.


    The news of Caspian breaking into the Hoff family’s residence would definitely make the rounds among


    people.


    Alton finally let out a sigh of relief when Caspian’s figure slowly disappeared into the distance.


    His shirt waspletely soaked in his cold sweat.


    Caspian’s brooding presence was truly frightening to the people around him.


    He never had to utter a single word for people to fear him. All it needed was one look from him. to send


    shivers down people’s spines.


    After all, only someone like Caspian could keep peace and safety.


    The Diatoranian God of War was a high–ranking role known by all.


    Even so, the role required him to be under constant pressure.


    Alton then sighed.


    “Let’s go!” hemanded.


    A few of the soldiers dragged Jean out.


    Hoff Residence had once been a home filled with life. Now it was just filled with eerie silence.


    Alton took a nce at the Hoff family home. It was like purgatory on earth.


    The floors were covered in blood that was still flowing.


    Corpses piled like mountains. The horrendous massacre filled the air with the metallic smell of


    blood.


    Alton was feeling a swirl of emotions.


    He had been battling with Charles for decades.


    It felt surreal now that the Hoff family had suddenly been destroyed.


    Shortly afterward, he managed to regain hisposure.


    “Launch an investigation into the Hoff family right away. Bring the surviving servants back for interrogatio


    He did not leave as he had to handle these matters personally.


    —


    The next day, a piece of earth–shattering news spread all across town.


    The Hoff family, the top elite family of New Bay, had been destroyed!


    Charles, the head of the Hoff family and the God of Gambling, had fled!


    The governor had personally announced the bounty for capturing Charles. It was a whopping 30 million


    Jean Hoff, the eldest son of the Hoff family, had been handed over to the Inspector General’s team for h


    All of the Hoff family’s estates, including their casinos, had been seized overnight.


    At the same time, another force had begun wiping out the underground forces in New Bay.


    The Inspector General’s office had dispatched arge troop for this operation. The scale of this operatio


    Many of the underground forces‘ leaders were also arrested.


    Chaos swept through the entire city.


    Nevertheless, New Bay swiftly sunk back into its usual quiet.


    With the underground forces eradicated, the civilians found their city had be much more


    harmonious.


    They


    no longer had to worry about criminal activities.


    All the gangsters on the street had also disappeared.


    There was less chaos in the city. This allowed the civilians to start living a regr life.


    Now that life had returned to normal, they no longer had to live as if every day was a gamble


    with luck.


    In one of the luxury suites at New Bay Grand Hotel, Alton was reporting on the progress of their crackdo
