The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 435 Surviving Only in Name

“It’s too late! It’s all over!” Ace lamented after seeing the fighter jets. He was dumbstruck.

Even though they were too weak to defeat Caspian, they were still strong enough to escape.

However, the sudden arrival of the army had cut off their retreat!

John was the first to hop off one of the tanks. He rushed over as soon as he received the order

om Caspian.

“How dare you lay your hand on Lord Caspian? You’ve all got a death wish!” John snarled at Ace and

the experts from the TMAA.

“Kill them all!” he instructed with a wave of his hand, and the tanks behind him 1 continued pressing

forward.

At the same time, the thousands of soldiers fired their guns, and the bullets pierced through the crowd

of Ace and all of his men. They scrambled for cover.

They couldn’t figure out why the army was helping Caspian, but before they could wrap their heads

around the situation, an overwhelming majority of them had died.

The stench of blood filled the air.

The sight of his subordinates going down one after the other enraged Ace.

“Charge forward! Clear a path!” Ace roared.



The only thing he could think of now was to find a way out as soon as possible. No matter how adept

they were at fighting, they were powerless when confronted with guns.

Their only chance of survival was to find a way to break through the siege.

“This is fun!” John snorted.

He issued an order through his walkie–talkie. “Don’t let them escape!

The fighter jets up above immediately aimed their spotlights down on the ground. Once the lights

zeroed in on Ace and his people, the soldiers started firing at them.

Bullets rained down from the sky, extinguishing the last flicker of hope in Ace’s heart.

In the face of such powerful weapons, even mighty martial arts experts like them were defenseless.

A bullet ripped through Hector’s abdomen, and blood gushed out of the wound.

“Save me, Mr. Garland!” Hector howled in pain as he clutched his wounded abdomen.

“Hector!” Ace roared.

He wanted to save Hector, but now that Hector had been hit, his fate was sealed. Within seconds, he

had more bullets in him than one could even count.

“Caspian! I’ll rip you to pieces myself!” Ace howled in rage.

All of his most trusted subordinates had been killed by Caspian.



Ace wanted vengeance, but now was not the time for that. If he wanted to come after Caspian, he had

to escape this place alive and rebuild his forces.

He dared not waste any more time. Mustering up every ounce of strength, he got ready to flee this

place.

Supreme grandmasters had a heightened sense of awareness above and beyond that of ordinary

people.

Ace was able to swiftly dodge all the bullets that came flying at him, but the rest of his people weren’t

as fortunate.

They fell like dominos, row after row.

It was a devastating sight.

Lincoln and the others were stunned by the scene before them.

On the other hand, this was nothing out of the ordinary to Caspian. He had seen his fair share of

horrifying battles.

From the moment the people from the TMAA decided to attack Southlake City, their fate had been

sealed. A crushing loss was the only possible outcome.

“Caspian, I’m going to kill you if it’s the last thing I do!” Ace ferociously declared as he broke out of the

siege.

Behind him, all of his people had fallen.

Ace dared not stick around any longer. He swiftly disappeared into the night.

When Sylvia saw him fleeing, she rushed forward and said, “I want to hunt Ace Garland down,

Caspian!”

She couldn’t accept the fact that she had lost to him during their earlier fight.

“Don’t bother. Let him go. Now’s not the time to kill him. Either way, the strongest fighters in the TMAA

will have gone down after this fight. Even if he gets away, he won’t be much of a threat,” Caspian said

as he shook his head.

Following this fight, the TMAA would exist only in name. Caspian could easily destroy the

After hearing what Caspian said, Sylvia backed down. She obeyed his orders without question.

Just then, John approached Caspian and reported, “Apart from Ace Garland, the rest of the TMAA are

all dead, Lord Caspian!”

After exchanging glances with his people, Lincoln gulped. He didn’t know how to react.

Caspian became even more awe–inspiring to him.

“Clean this place up. Burn all the bodies,” Caspian instructed as he glanced at Lincoln.

“Yes, Mr. Lynch!” Lincoln replied with a nod.

John and the army also jumped into action.

Too many had died in this fight. They needed to clear the place as soon as possible, lest it would lead

to unwanted trouble..

Caspian looked at Bernard and the others. They had just gone through a bloody fight. This experience

would surely change them, and he knew they would become even more resilient after this.

“All of you did well. No one backed down from the fight. You’re all worthy of calling yourselves

honorable men.

“I will give the families of the deceased two million dollars each to support them in their time of grief.

Everyone who took part in the fight will also receive 500 thousand dollars in cash as a reward!”

Caspian solemnly declared.

He was always generous with his subordinates. The fallen men were all heroes who died while

defending the citizens of Southlake City, so their families deserved to be compensated.

Money was nothing but a meaningless string of numbers to Caspian. He didn’t care about it at all.

“Thank you, Lord Caspian!”

“Thank you, Mr. Lynch!”

Everyone expressed their gratitude, moved by Caspian’s gesture.

In the past, Lincoln’s men had merely been street thugs. Everyone kept their distance from them, and

no one respected them.

But ever since they started working for Caspian, they became responsible for maintaining the peace

and security in Southlake City.

They started to feel a sense of respect from others.

Meanwhile, the banquet at Draymore Hotel had ended, and the attendees had already left.

Jyn was getting ready for bed in one of the hotel’s luxury suites.

But after hearing Ginger’s report, she stared at Ginger in disbelief and exclaimed, “What did you say?

Everyone from the Traditional Martial Arts Association is dead?”

“That’s right. According to the latest news, Ace Garland, the chairman of the TMAA, led about

ten

thousand of his people over to Southlake City to snatch the Eldorian Scroll fragment from Caspian.

However, not a single one of his men survived!

“A bloody fight took place on the outskirts of the city, and only Ace managed to escape. The fight had

been even at first, but the army got involved, turning the tides in Caspian’s favor!” Ginger trembled as

she gave the report.

Just who was Caspian? Was he really just some guy who once served as a soldier?

Why would even the army show up to help him?

Jyn’s brows creased. She didn’t know what position Caspian held in the army, but she was certain he

had to be someone of extreme importance. Otherwise, the army would not have shown up to protect

him.

After the appalling defeat the TMAA suffered, they were as good as abolished.

Jyn got the feeling that the power balance in Dhord City would soon be undergoing a great upheaval.

“Tell our people to start buying up all of the TMAA’s assets and businesses!” lyn instructed Ginger with

a serious expression. “If anyone refuses to sell anything to us, just seize it by force! I want to take over



all of the TMAA’s assets within ten days!”
