Chapter 247 Hidden Martial Arts Expert
After Lincoln announced his investment in Southlake Corporation, he disappeared from
everyone’s sight.
The most shocking thing was Southlake Corporation. During this period, Southlake
Corporation cooperated with many companies and enterprises, becoming the largest
enterprise in the Two Lakes area without anyone to rival it!
Once Caspian resolved the troubles, he and Willow returned to the Stewart family manor.
The residents eagerly awaited their arrival.
“Caspian, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, we might’ve all become homeless!”
Xandros expressed with joy.
The news of Frank’s surrender and the dissolution of his company spread rapidly.
When the residents of the Stewart family manor heard about this, they found it hard to
believe. After all, Frank was influential in the area, and ordinary people didn’t dare to
provoke him.
It wasn’t until the Inspector General’s office announced the news that they were sure he
was arrested.
Seeing Caspian and Willow’s return, they were enthusiastic.
“Great–uncle, we’re all family. There’s no need for formalities,” Caspian said with a smile.
He then turned to everyone and solemnly stated, “Everyone, Frank has been
apprehended. From now on, you can live here without any worries. Nobody will force you
to leave!” “That’s fantastic!”
“We won’t have to live in fear anymore!”
“Thank you so much. Without you, we’d be homeless by now!”
The residents were incredibly excited, and their eyes brimmed with tears.
For the past few months, they had lived in constant fear.
Caspian’s appearance had completely resolved their troubles. For them, Caspian was their
savior!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe residents no longer had to fear being evicted.
“And here’s more good news! Frank’s company has been shut down. The funds he
extorted from the common folks have been invested in the manor.
+15 BONUS
“There will be people coming to build roads and bridges, renovate houses, and we’ll
establish a new school here.
“This will ensure that the children here receive an education, and the residents here will
enjoy better living conditions!” Caspian announced.
The residents were momentarily stunned.
It took them a while to digest this incredible news!
“You’re a saint!”
“I’ve never seen someone so kind!”
“We will forever be grateful to you!”
The residents were emotionally overwhelmed as tears pooled in their eyes, and they all
knelt before Caspian.
“No need to be so polite. I’m also part of the Stewart family!”
“Please, get up! We can’t bear this!”
When Caspian and Willow witnessed this scene, they immediately went to help them up.
However, they wouldn’t budge as they remained kneeling on the ground.
In the eyes of the residents of the Stewart family manor, Caspian was a saint and a savior.
The manor had long–standing unresolved issues, which were difficulties in children’s
education, dilapidated houses, and rough roads. Caspian’s arrival had completely
transformed their lives.
“Let’s go! In gratitude, the residents have prepared a feast in the hall! They want to treat
you well to express their gratitude!” Xandros excitedly pulled Caspian.
Caspian naturally didn’t refuse and went with Willow to the hall.
As night fell, the hall glowed with lights, and the residents were incredibly warm–hearted.
Each household brought out chickens, ducks, fish, and even cows and sheep that they had
kept for a long time–all to serve Caspian and Willow.
Many people raised their cups to toast Caspian.
Willow, who didn’t usually drink, also happily took a few sips.
She had never experienced such simple and genuine hospitality.
Caspian further discussed the time and location for establishing the school.
+15 BONUS
There were no schools established in the manor, and the children had to travel more than
six miles to study.
Caspian’s actions gave hope to these children.
The residents were immensely grateful to him.
After three rounds of drinks, Caspian was a bit drunk and felt dizzy.
Meanwhile, Willow had fallen asleep on the table as she was overwhelmed by the alcohol.
When Caspian saw Willow peacefully asleep, he smiled and draped his coat over her.
“Caspian! Let me raise a toast to you!” Xandros smiled when he saw this. He stood up
with a cup of wine and approached Caspian.
“Great–uncle, I should toast you.” Caspian also rose and raised his cup.
They both finished their drinks.
As Xandros finished, he suddenly became serious. “Caspian, come with me!”
Seeing Xandros‘ sudden change in demeanor, Caspian became curious. Without much
thought, he followed him.
Both arrived outside the hall. Xandros stood firm as he exuded a vigor that was rarely
seen in a 100–year–old man.
“Great–uncle, what’s the matter?” Caspian asked, puzzled.
“Tell me the truth, what is your true background?” Xandros stared at Caspian and
scrutinized
him.
Looking at Xandros‘ sharp gaze, Caspian was stunned for a moment. It seemed this old
man knew something!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Great–uncle, what background could I possibly have? I’m just Willow’s husband. Are you
confused?” Caspian chuckled.
“Stop joking around. Since you don’t want to say it, I won’t push you. However, I know
you’re not an ordinary person. Although I can’t see through you, I can sense it. Anyway,
thank you for helping the Stewart family manor!” Xandros smiled.
Listening to his words, Caspian was surprised. He was sure that the old man indeed saw
through something.
“Great–uncle, you’re too’polite. It’s my responsibility anyway,” Caspian casually replied,
not taking the matter seriously.
“You’ve indeed helped us, and for that, we are grateful. Here is an emerald pendant as a
token
+15 BONUS
Xandros took out a round emerald pendant and handed it to Caspian.
The emerald was translucent, and the intricate dragon carving suggested it was of
considerable value.
“Great–uncle, I can’t take this,” Caspian said.
“Take it. Maybe it’ll help you in the future!” Xandros insisted.
Caspian was puzzled by his words but didn’t want to argue further, so he accepted the
gift.
“Alright, go back and have a rest with Willow.”
With that, Caspian turned to leave.
Looking at his back, Xandros‘ expression turned serious, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
“I’ve been waiting for you for decades. I hope my choice wasn’t wrong!”
Then, he looked up at the night sky.
After a moment, a powerful energy burst out from him.
This wasn’t something an ordinary old man could achieve.
Xandros was certainly a hidden martial arts expert!
When Caspian returned to the hall, an unforeseen event occurred. Willow was missing!
