The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

hapter 798 The Spell Stops Working +15 BONUS Caspian planned on pretending to be asleep until Jerry gave the command out loud. Then, he would do whatever Jerry said to dispel Jerry’s suspicion.

Meanwhile, Jerry was panicking hard. He didn’t know what to do.

He even wondered if Jethro had done something.

If Jerry failed to awaken Balthazar, he wouldn't be able to stop Dax from dispatching the soldiers.

Nevertheless, Jerry had no choice but to return to the phone and say, “His Majesty is sound asleep, Champion Santos. | can't wake him.” However, as soon as he finished speaking, Dax ended the call.

Jerry was flabbergasted. It was clear that Dax was going to make a move against Filren.

“Jethro, you bastard! You were dishonest with me!” Jerry roared, pinning all the blon Jethro.

Jethro had been the one who volunteered to assassinate Byron. Not only did he fail, but he even gave Byron something to use against Diatoran.

Just then, a guard cin and reported, “Mr. Roman is asking to see you, Andrews." Mr.

Jerry was furious, but at least he could now take his anger out on Jethro.

“Give the order. Later, if | give the signal, apprehend Jethro at once!” Jerry growled.

Looking at Jerry’s expression, the guard could already LB what might unfold later.

Soon, Jethro cin with two black bags.

He looked completely calm, as if unaffected by his failed assassination attempt.

“Greetings, Mr. Andrews,” Jethro said with a nod.

“How did things go with your assassination attempt, Mr. Roman?” Jerry asked despite knowing that the mission had failed.

“Even though we failed to kill Byron, we didn’t walk away completely empty- handed,” Jethro calmly reported.

+15 BONUS Jerry was infuriated. Jethro had returned after a dismal defeat, so how could he claim to have gotten something out of it? “Is that so? What did you walk away with?” Jerry asked.

Jethro tossed the bags onto the floor, and a few bloody heads rolled out.

Jerry was so frightened that he nearly fell out of his seat.

“I didn’t manage to kill Byron, Mr. Andrews, but | took out several of Filren’s senior politicians. That should be enough to suppress the Filrenians!” Jethro declared with confidence, looking like he had made a major contribution to the nation.

Jerry sorely wanted to beat Jethro up, but alas, he was no match for Jethro. He dared not attack Jethro.

Instead, he turned on the television and played a recording of Byron's earlier announcement.

Jerry thought that would suffice to humiliate Jethro, but he was mistaken. Jethro was far more shameless than he ever imagined.

“Byron is just putting on an act, Mr. Andrews,” Jethro declared scornfully.

“How dare he be this arrogant when I've killed so many of his senior politicians? Furthermore, if he has the guts to declare war against us, why would he need to wait three days? That alone proves that he fears us.” Jerry thought Jethro had a point.

Byron wouldn't delay things if he knew for certain he could win the war.

“Guards!” Jerry abruptly called out.

The guards immediately rushed in, much to Jethro’s alarm. They cstraight for Jethro.

Flustered, Jethro tried to flee. The heads he brought didn’t belong to Filren’s senior politicians. They were merely random people he'd killed to put on an act. “Hold it! Who told you to attack Mr. Roman? | only want you to take these heads away,” Jerry chided as he stopped the guards.

The guards sheepishly cleared the heads off the floor.

“I've run into an issue, Mr. Roman. The spell no longer works on His Majesty,” Jerry quickly said.

He wanted to know if Jethro had done something. After all, Jethro was the master ww +15 BONUS when it cto witchcraft.

“What? That doesn’t make sense. That shouldn't happen,” Jethro exclaimed.

“Caspian bribed a guard and poisoned His Majesty. Thankfully, Mr. Dunn noticed it and treated His Majesty. Mr.

Dunn said that His Majesty's condition is unstable due to the poison,” Jerry informed Jethro.

He would have to count on Jethro’s help to continue controlling Balthazar.

“Is that so?” Jethro said with a frown. He had a bad feeling about this.

“That's right. I've lost the ability to control His Majesty. Why don’t you take a look? His Majesty is currently sleeping,” Jerry said.

Caspian had his guard up the moment he heard Jethro’s and Jerry's voices.

He thought that Jethro would've died after failing in the assassination attempt, but to his shock, Jethro managed to escape.

That was not something Caspian had anticipated.

He had made up his mind. If he were to be exposed later, he would slaughter all of these traitors. Since Balthazar was safe now, he no longer needed to worry about anything.

Meanwhile, Jethro approached Caspian and hauled him up by the collar.

Caspian was outraged! He was currently disguised as Balthazar, yet Jethro was treating him this way! That alone solidified Caspian’s decision to kill Jethro.

Caspian kept his eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

“That's strange. His Majesty seems perfectly normal,” Jethro said doubtfully.

He pressed two fingers against Caspian’s wrist to check his pulse.

But of course, someone like Caspian could easily use his internal force to control his own pulse.

After checking the pulse, Jethro was utterly confused.

“Mr. Andrews, how did Jett treat His Majesty?” Jethro asked.

“He used skind of life force manipulation technique. I’m not sure how it works either. Is something wrong?” Jerry asked anxiously.

“No, | just have the feeling that something's different about His Majesty. Nevertheless, I'm certain that His Majesty is perfectly healthy. Jett was lying.” +15 BONUS While checking the pulse, Jethro was shocked when he didn’t detect any trace of the cursed bugs he had planted inside Balthazar.

He thought Jett had used the life force manipulation technique to get rid of the cursed bugs.

He was the only one who knew how to use such curses and spells. If someone were to find a way to undo them, he wouldn't be able to utilize them anymore.

Because of that, Jethro didn’t tell Jerry the truth. He was afraid he would lose his standing within Skyarch Palace.

Jerry would surely kick Jethro out if he discovered that Jethro’s witchcraft no longer worked.

Thus, Jethro kept up appearances and continued to study Caspian.

“Have you figured it out yet?” Jerry asked.

Jethro said quietly, “Yes, | know what's the problem now. The strength of the curse has waned over time, so we need to cast a new one on His Majesty!”
