Chapter 448 Staying Put

“Right, you’re too narcissistic. I must be overthinking.” Willow nodded.

Caspian and Mia had never met before, so there was no way they could have a connection.

Seeing Willow drop the topic, Caspian breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Landon approached, holding two checks. “Ms. Stewart, Mr. Lynch, this is the 200 million

dollars Ginger tried to bribe me with.”

200 million dollars was indeed a big temptation, but Landon wouldn’t dare accept that.

“Well done, Landon. You resisted the temptation,” praised Caspian.

This marketing manager was not bad.

“Ms. Stewart is so good to me. How could I do such a thing?” Landon smiled.

He meant what he said. Willow treated the employees well.

On a side note, he also feared Caspian, given the numerous rumors about him in Southlake City. He

was afraid that Caspian might take action against him.

“Consider this money as a reward for resisting temptation,” Caspian said, pointing at the

check.

“What…” Landon was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Caspian to be so generous. What had he done to deserve this? Was Caspian

testing him?



“Take it. Southlake Corporation won’t mistreat loyal employees. Since you refused the bribe. and didn’t

betray the company, you deserve this reward,” Caspian said calmly.

Willow nodded in agreement.

For a corporation, 200 million dollars was nothing. But if Landon had truly betrayed them, the losses

would have been more than the mentioned amount.

“Thank you, Mr. Lynch! Thank you, Ms. Stewart! I’ll do my best to repay your trust.”

Landon was so excited that he was overwhelmed and speechless.

“Don’t get too excited yet. I have another task for you,” Caspian said.

“What is it?” Landon askéd nervously.

“Southlake Corporation is about to expand its business to the north. As the marketing manager, you

need to lead the way. Of course, there will be risks.

“If you’re willing to do this, take the 200 million dollars. If not, it’s fine. You’ll still remain as the marketing

manager,” Caspian explained, looking directly at Landon.

Caspian wasn’t one to use forceful methods. The decision rested entirely on Landon. If he lacked

confidence, Caspian wouldn’t force him.

“I’ll do my best to help Southlake Corporation open up the North Diatoran’s market,” Landon replied

with determination.

200 million dollars was an amount most people couldn’t earn in several lifetimes.

“Well, then. Prepare yourself. Be ready to set off at any time,” Caspian said with a smile.



“Understood.”

Landon took the check and left the office.

Willow seemed contemplative as he watched him leave.

“Hubby, can we trust Landon?” Willow asked with concern.

Expanding business into another group’s territory wasn’t an easy task.

The first step was always difficult. If that didn’t go smoothly, every step afterward would be very

challenging.

“Don’t worry. Since Landon can resist the temptation, it means he’s trustworthy,” Caspian replied as he

pinched Willow’s rosy cheeks.

Hearing that, Willow nodded.

She initially considered sending Miranda to open up the northern market.

But come to think of it, Southlake Corporation was their headquarters. Someone needed to stay behind

to hold the fort.

Willow had complete confidence in Miranda’s skills.

With that, Willow could also plan the opening of the market in the north with ease.

In the afternoon, Southlake Corporation announced its expansion into North Diatoran. And Landon,

Southlake Corporation’s marketing manager, would head to Dhord City first.

The news shocked the entire Diatoran.



Many had thought the clash between the two companies had concluded.

No one expected Southlake Corporation to enter Dhord City so boldly. Morrison Group definitely

wouldn’t remain silent.

The residents of Dhord City were well aware of Morrison Group’s deep–rooted influence.

arrogant.

Meanwhile, upon returning to Dhord City, Jyn immediately headed to Morrison Group’s headquarters.

The losses incurred in Southlake City were substantial, with an investment of nearly two billion dollars

resulting in nothing.

“Ms. Morrison.” Chandler, the head of the Kane family, had waited in the office for a long time.

“Let me get straight to the point. Morrison Group has suffered significant losses this time,” Jyn said, her

expression cold and stern as she looked at Chandler.

Although Chandler had known about Morrison Group’s situation in advance, hearing it from Jyn’s

mouth still shook him.

Southlake Corporation was just a relatively new company, but it had defeated the well- established

Morrison Group.

No one had expected this outcome.

“Southlake Corporation will soon expand its operations here, with Enies as their first stop.”

Enies was located in the southernmost area of Dhord City.

For Southlake Corporation to open up the market in Dhord City, they needed to establish a presence in

Enies first. Therefore, the market in Enies was crucial.

“Enies has always been the Kane family’s territory. I hope you can personally go to Enies and stop

Southlake Corporation from expanding,” Jyn said sternly.

The failure of Morrison Group this time had made Jyn more cautious.

Southlake Corporation would undoubtedly become a formidable opponent. After all, Willow had

Caspian to assist her.

“Okay. I’ll go to Enies personally. I will not let Southlake Corporation expand their business there,”

Chandler replied solemnly.

After all, Caspian was his sworn enemy.

Caspian had been in Southlake City all along, so there was nothing Chandler could do. If Caspian

dared to come to Enies, Chandler would definitely find a way to eliminate him.

Meanwhile, in Southlake City, several sneaky figures appeared outside Riverside Villa.

“Mr. Cooke, Caspian stays in this villa,” an underling of Shadow Gate reported respectfully.

Asher looked at the villa.



Even with just a glance, he could tell it was extraordinary. The surroundings were quiet, and occasional

patrols monitored the area.

Moreover, there was an entire troop guarding the perimeter. If anything happened here, the troop would

attack, and Asher would undoubtedly die.

“Damn it!” Asher cursed.

After all his years in the business, this was the first time he had encountered such tight security. Even

an innate grandmaster would find it challenging to enter the villa.

“By the way, any updates on the matter I told you to investigate?” Asher asked in a lowered voice.

Asher and his men arrived in Southlake City from the reclusive Shadow Gate with only one goal, and

that was to kill Caspian and reclaim the Eldorian Scroll fragment.

“Yes, Mr. Cooke. A few days ago, Ace led the elites of the Traditional Martial Arts Association to

Southlake City but was intercepted by Caspian’s people on the outskirts. In the end, Ace was severely

injured. It was a narrow escape for him, but none of the others survived.”

Upon hearing this, Asher took in a sharp breath.
