Chapter 758 Investigation
Jerry exined, "The Masseys lost Caspian 20 years ago while they were on the run. As for what
exactly happened, I''ve only heard rumors that it was because some very important person mentioned
to the king that the Masseys were plotting to rebel against Diatoran."
Zane asked, "Dad, do you have any idea on how to prevent Caspian and Logan from reconciling?"
Jerryughed and replied, "That''s easy. With the king being basically a puppet for us to control, we can
just have His Majesty lie and sow discord between Caspian and Logan."
"What a great idea, Dad!"

Meanwhile, at Riverside Vi, Caspian was already asleep when his phone started ringing.
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Laina.
Caspian epted the call and asked, "Hello, Laina? Why are you calling me at a time like this?
Laina asked, "Sorry to bother you in the middle of the night, but can we talk right now?"
Laina wouldn''t bother Caspian in the middle of the night if not for reporting something very important.
Caspian replied, "Just tell me about it."
Willow was also woken up by the phone call. She quietly watched from the side as Caspian continued
to talk with Laina.
Caspian went straight to business with Laina as he didn''t want to cause any misunderstandings with
Willow.
He knew that she was especially sensitive to such matters.
Caspian had nothing to hide, but he didn''t want to cause unnecessary drama with Willow.
Laina reported, "I found out about what happened at the King''s residence during the night he was
attacked."
"What is it?"
"A group of uninvited guests appeared at the residence that night. And all of the guards at the mansion
were killed in battle."
Caspian was shocked.
He had already guessed that was what had happened, but he was still surprised to learn that Laina''s
report confirmed it all.
Caspian asked, "Anything else?"
Laina replied, "Task Force Rose has already concluded the investigation. We found that the
assassination was organized by the Andrews family."
"Those bastards! It really is them!"
It was just as Caspian had already guessed, except that he didn''t have any evidence back then.
"That''s right. The Andrews family rebelled against Diatoran when you were away at Filren."
"Jerry, that bastard! I''m going to kill him!"
Laina exined, "The Andrews family had been plotting for a very long time. They are also the ones
who founded Skyarch Pce."
Caspian replied, "I see. I never even noticed just how much they''ve been plotting since the beginning."
He had always assumed that Jerry was just causing trouble because of their difference in personalities.
He never expected that thetter would actually be plotting such bold moves behind his back.
Laina continued, "That''s right. Everything that happened recently is rted to Jerry, one way or
another. More so when he immediately convinced the king to depose you after he became the advisor.
He had done so to prevent anyone else from threatening him."
Caspian replied, "I knew it! So the king really was being threatened."
However, he didn''t understand why Balthazar didn''t just ask him for help if he was being threatened by
Jerry.
Regardless, Caspian decided that he would rescue Balthazar no matter what.
Laina was confused. "But the king seems to be extremelypliant to every request from Jerry instead
of asking for help. It''s weird.
"His Majesty would do everything Jerry advised him to do. For example, the peace talk with Filren was
all Jerry''s doing."
Caspian asked, "I''ve always felt that something was wrong! Have you found out what it is that would
make the king be sopliant with Jerry?"
"Lord Caspian, we''ve already gathered enough evidence to prove that Jerry had been controlling the
king. We can move out anytime to eliminate the Andrews family and rescue His Majesty!"
"It''s not that easy. Jerry''s the king''s trusted advisor, and his sons are both rtively high-ranking
officers now."
Laina replied, "But Lord Caspian, you stillmand quite a huge amount of respect among
Diatoranian troops. You only need to say the word, and all four Champions will be here to help!"
Caspian exined, "It''s not as easy as you think. I may be good friends with the Champions, but they
aren''t going to listen to my every whim. They might even think that I''m trying to start a rebellion if I ask
them for help directly."
"Then, what should we do? I''ve also heard that Jerry had sent an envoy for the peace talk with Filren.
But the Filrenian envoy made very excessive demands, including for Diatoran to cede the entire West
Arinds to Filren!"
Caspian took a moment to analyze the current situation. "I feel rather helpless right now. If only I still
had my armored battalion with me, I would have already made my way to the Andrews residence.
"The only option we have now is to find out what it is that Jerry had on the king to be able to control him
like that. As long as His Majesty gave the order, all four Champions would have been able to fight
back!"
Laina replied, "I understand. I''ll try to find out the truth as soon as possible."
Caspian hung up the call.
Willow then asked, "The Andrews family is holding the king hostage?"
She had heard the entire conversation between Caspian and Laina.
Caspian was furious. "That''s right. I can''t believe it''s the Andrews family. Damn it!"
He didn''t intend to hide anything from Willow.
"Don''t worry. The Andrews family will face justice soon!"
"Do you have a n?"
"I can only wait for Laina to finish her investigation and find out what Jerry is using to threaten the king
before I form a n."
Caspian replied, "I know. But you don''t need to worry about this."
The couple then went back to sleep.
…
The next day, Jerry sent out his envoy to continue the negotiation with the Filren envoy at West
Arinds.
Filren refused to budge with their demands.
And Diatoran was not going to agree to their outrageous requests.
The negotiation remained in a stalemate.
The Andrews family''s actions had caused the Diatoranians to be outraged.
They were immensely disappointed that the Andrews family would have Diatoran lower its head to an
enemy country.
Patriots began to lead protests across the country.
Discussions and rumors around the Andrews family became a hot topic within Diatoran.
Jerry assigned his men to round up all of the protest leaders.
He had chosen the Skyarch Pce men to enact the dirty work.
They captured all of the civilians who had led the protests across the country and beat them into
submission.
