Chapter 331 The Sequestration of the Hoff Family

+15 BONUS

Before Charles could come 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.

Nonetheless, 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 had 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 incompetence.

He felt uneasy as well. He feared Caspian would remove him from the governor’s position

in a fit of rage.

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

+15 BONUS

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

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

them.

“This person’s skilled,” Caspian said as he glanced 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 underground 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 blame 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 back 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 one last 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. Casplan walked into the rain while holding a black umbrella.

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 was completely 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!” he commanded.

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 glance 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 his composure.

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

for interrogation!” Alton commanded.

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 dollars!

Jean Hoff, the eldest son of the Hoff family, had been handed over to the Inspector

General’s team for his crimes.

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 a large troop for this operation. The scale of

this operation was unprecedented.

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 become much

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 regular 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 crackdown operation.

“I have raided the entire Hoff family according to your instructions. I’ve also arrested

many of the forces affiliated with the family.
