Chapter Chapter 812 Trying to Stay Afloat
The two villagers who had come to expose the secrets they knew were locked up here in the chamber. Their bodies were littered
with wounds and covered in blood. They were staring at Jethro intently.
Under normal circumstances, Jethro would’ve been fine with that. But now, he found them to be terrifying.
One of the villagers said viciously, “Jethro Roman, you bastard! Are you hiding here because someone else is after you?”
Jethro was enraged by his words. He did not want these men to continue their loud spiel as he would be done for if he was
discovered.
“I didn’t expect the two of you to still be alive. Perhaps I can do this–I can kill you both now so that you won’t have to suffer from
all that pain.” Jethro picked up a piece of iron that was red after being heated up. He planned to kill the two men.
The other villager said hurriedly, “Don’t come over here! What are you doing? I’ll scream for help, believe it or not!”
They had never given up on their survival. It seemed that Jethro had encountered a serious problem, and it proved to be a great
opportunity for them.
Jethro said viciously, “I can kill the two of you now!”
Right at this moment, they heard someone knock on the door. Jethro’s expression darkened as he whispered threateningly,
“You’d better be obedient, or I’ll kill you two!”
The villagers dared not act rashly. They were afraid of angering Jethro, but at the same time, they hoped that the people outside
would break in and save them.
“Stop knocking. This room has been abandoned for a long time, and it’s been empty for as long,” one of the guards said.
Another replied, “Abandoned? But this lock is new! Perhaps there are some treasures inside?”
“How naive of you. How could there still be treasures in this run–down place? The guards have run away long ago. They’d never
leave anything valuable here!”
“I think something is wrong with this place. This lock is new, which means they’re definitely hiding something here.”
As the guards argued with each other, Sylvia walked over, asking, “What are you guys squabbling about?”
Without hesitation, she shot the lock open with her gun.
Meanwhile, Caspian walked over as well. After they entered the chamber, they discovered that this was a secret base for the
specific purpose of executing people. It could be proved by the execution equipment lying around.
Jethro hid in the corner, shaking involuntarily out of fear. He said, still harboring hopes that he could survive, “Caspian, I was
coerced too. Killing me won’t impact the Andrews family in any way. As long as you can ensure my safety, I can take you to
Kelvin and the others.”
“The Andrews family is no longer as powerful as they were. Do you think I’d still need you?” Caspian looked at Jethro coldly.
“Kelvin has taken your mother, Sherry Lynch. If you release me, I’ll tell you escape plans.”
Jethro was desperate to prove his value. If he failed to do so, Caspian would surely kill him without hesitation.
When the Life Force members heard Jethro call their head Caspian, they assumed that Jethro was scared witless. On the other
hand, the two villagers who were locked up felt hope ignite in them upon hearing Caspian’s name.
“You won’t just watch as other people die, will you? There are two innocent people here. If you don’t release me, I’ll kill them
immediately!”
Jethro knew that he had no other choice, so he could only take the plunge and threaten Caspian with the lives of those two
people.
“You’re still considered a powerful figure, aren’t you, Jethro? Don’t you feel ashamed when you use such unscrupulous
methods?” Caspian said with a frown.
Jethro would really stop at nothing just to make sure he stayed alive.
“Do you think trying to rile me up would work? I’m gonna die anyway, so what use do I have for my dignity? Release me and
you’ll save two lives, which is a good deal for you.” Without any other choice, Jethro could only try to survive through this.
“You sure do have good ideas, don’t you, old bastard?” a member of Life Force said.
“Scum like you aren’t worthy of being killed by me, Jethro.” Caspian waved his hand in the air, gesturing for the men from Life
Force to open a path.
The men frowned. Since when was their head so benevolent? In the past, he would never care about the lives of these two men.
Jethro froze as well. He never dreamed of Caspian releasing him for real. He held the two villagers hostage as they walked
Caspian said coldly, “When you leave the headquarters, you must release these two men or I’ll surely make your life hell!”
His words made a chill run down Jethro’s spine. He did not say anything and continued making his way forward.
Sylvia wanted to chase after them, but Caspian stopped her. She asked, “Are we really going to release him, sir?”
Caspian said nonchalantly, “He can’t escape us. Let him live for a few more hours.
Sylvia pursued anxiously, “Jethro, that old bastard’s, words can’t be trusted, sir. What if he refuses to release the two men?”
“Don’t worry. He has nowhere else to go. He’ll probably run for his life, and he’ll go to Kelvin the first second he can, which is a
good thing as far as we’re concerned,” Caspian replied.
Sylvia had a realization. If Jethro wanted to escape, he would surely look for someone he could rely on. In the process, he would
basically be showing
Caspian’s side where to go.
“Let’s go,” Caspian said.
Sylvia dashed out immediately. As expected, they saw the two villagers walking over while supporting each other. They were
now safe.
“Show them somewhere they can have a rest,” Caspian said.
“We’re fine, Lord Caspian. You should chase after Kelvin Andrews. He and his people have taken Ms. Lynch to the airport.
They’ve made plans to seek refuge in Astronia,” one of the villagers said with gritted teeth.
“Where did you hear this from?” Sylvia asked, confused.
“They were discussing this in the chamber,” the villager explained.
“Could this be a fake lead, sir?” Sylvia asked worriedly.
“I’ll head to the airport now while you stay in the King’s residence and wipe out the remaining enemies,” Caspian ordered
immediately. He had to act now. He had to seize Kelvin and escort him back before he could escape.
“Don’t worry, Lord Caspian.” Sylvia bowed to Caspian.
The members of Life Force were shell–shocked. Caspian and Sylvia tore their masks down, not bothering to keep up their
disguises anymore.
“You...” The mentees stared at Sylvia and Caspian in shock. They would never expect Caspian to disguise himself as their head!
“If you join our side now, I can ensure your survival,” Sylvia said immediately.
The men were not stupid. Their side no longer had an advantage, and they did not want to die just like that.
On the roads leading to the airport, several SUVs were traveling at high speed. Kelvin was in one of them.
