Chapter 136 Robbery
Caspian’s prolonged argument with Joey over the machete was hindering her schedule as
the new Inspector General.
She decided to just return the machete back to him.
And Caspian immediately left the office as soon as he got the machete.
He had yet to inform Joey about the incident between Jeremy and Lana since he already
had Sylvia investigating it.
He decided to deal with the matter personally.
He didn’t drive his sports car today and instead opted for an SUV to avoid attracting
unwanted
attention.
Caspian then drove to Stephanie’s house for a visit. He had also planned to visit Elias and
Lana in the hospital later.
He received a call from Sylvia en route.
“Caspian, 30 elites, along with the best military doctor, had moved out. Estimated time of
arrival would be noon today,” reported Sylvia.
“Very well. Send the doctor over to Southlake Hospital once they arrive. You’ll be in
command of the elites. I need you to clear the assets belonging to the Yorks and the Flying
Dragons.”
“Yes, sir!”
Stephanie wasn’t aware that Caspian was coming over to pay her a visit.
She packed up the 150 thousand dollars and was about to head to the bank to deposit the
cash. She felt unsafe with having such an amount lying around at home.
Unfortunately, her neighborhood was less than friendly. She had just taken a few steps out
of her house when a fleet of vans stopped right in front of her.
She quickly realized that they were all Tony’s men.

The vans quickly surrounded her as she tried to escape.
Dozens of men soon came out from the vans.
“What do you want?” asked Stephanie.

Tony himself made an appearance as well. “My men were beaten up after failing to pick up
the ‘ management fee‘ yesterday. But we’ll see if you can still escape us today.”
He was pissed as he had been chasing after Caspian since he received an update from his
underlings yesterday, only to be thrown off the trail by Sylvia’s skillful maneuver.
He wasn’t the type of person to simply let it go. And thus, he had brought his men to pay
Stephanie a visit. They were also slightly surprised to run into their target en route.
“I don’t know those people that beat up your men! You should be looking for them, not
me!” explained Stephanie.
Tony replied, “Bitch, please. My men saw you going into the hotel with the two of them for
a meal! You can’t even make up a proper lie about your friends?”
She was speechless as she realized that his men had been following them all this time.
“So? Where are the two of them?” asked Tony.
“I’ve no idea.”
She wouldn’t rat out any details about Caspian as she was afraid he might be targeted by
Tony.
“Guess I’ll have to ask you to pay for my men’s medical bills,” replied Tony.
“I don’t have money for that.”
Stephanie subconsciously held her bag tightly as she frantically explained.
The bag held all of the 150 thousand dollars Caspian had given her.
However, her action only served to attract Tony’s attention instead.
He shouted, “What’s in the bag? Show it to me!”
She started panicking. “Absolutely not! I can’t give you my bag!”
She wouldn’t give away the money that Caspian gave her for Elias‘ emergency treatment.
Tony was running out of patience. “Bring me her bag! I’ll see what’s inside myself.”
His men jumped at Stephanie as soon as the order was given.
Although Stephanie was terrified, she held tightly onto the bag as if her life depended on
it.
She screamed her lungs out for help. “Help! Anyone! Save me, please! I’m being robbed!”
Tony’s men began beating her up without any shred of mercy while she defended the bag
in
her arms.
Tony quickly realized that the bag must have been carrying something extremely valuable.

She continued to call for help as she fell down to the ground. “Save me, please! Anyone!”
Unfortunately, she was stranded on a remote path that hardly anyone ever passed
through.
Even if anyone did pass through, they would’ve already left the vicinity upon seeing Tony’s
men.
“Beat her up! Harder! Until she lets go of the bag!” ordered Tony.
He had lost all patience as she chose to make things difficult while screaming his ears off.
The men also amped up the attack at Tony’s order.
Stephanie eventually fell unconscious from all the blows raining down upon her body.
One of the thugs quickly snatched the bag away from her hands and brought it over to
Tony.
He opened the bag and was utterly shocked by the amount of money inside it.
He started laughing out loud in disbelief. “What the fuck? How does she have so much
money? Can’t believe she really said she doesn’t have any!”
He genuinely didn’t expect Stephanie to be so rich.

One of his men raised his concerns. “Should we get her to a doctor, boss? She seems like
she might die if we leave her alone.”
Stephanie’s unconscious figure seemed lifeless on the ground.
“Her life doesn’t matter. Let’s just get out of here!”
Now that he had what he wanted, Tony waved at his men to get the hell out of the place.
He couldn’t care less whether Stephanie would survive now that he had such a huge sum
of
money.
He retreated into the van right after issuing his order.
The vans soon dispersed from the crime scene.
Meanwhile, Caspian had passed by some of the vans going down the opposite direction.
He was confused by the fleet of vans until he noticed that a man with a scar on his face
was
sitting in the passenger seat.
His gut feeling told him that something bad must have happened, considering that this
was Stephanie’s neighborhood.
Caspian stepped on the gas and sped off to check on Stephanie.
A few minutes later, he found a woman lying on the ground unconscious.
+15 BONUS He stopped the car and went down to check on her, only to realize that the
woman was none other than Stephanie herself.
He quickly realized that the escaping vans were filled with men who had beaten up his
teacher.
He picked up the disheveled Stephanie, with blood still dripping from her mouth off the
ground, and shouted her name.
He kept on shouting as he held her in his arms.
He noticed that her clothes were tainted with plenty of footprints. And with all the injuries
across her body, he could only imagine what she had been through.
