Chapter 316 Extreme Arrogance
Charles was somewhat perplexed. Why would Caspian be willing to marry Willow and
become the matrilocal son–in–law of the insignificant Stewart family?
“And this is where you’re wrong, Mr. Hoff Senior. What’s bad about being a matrilocal son–
in- law? You don’t need to do anything before the marriage or pay anything, and you’ll be
provided for even if you lie at home all day.
“Isn’t that nice? And I got to marry such a beautiful wife who’s also the president of a
large company. Many people would want a life like mine!” Caspian grinned widely.
While Caspian spoke, he looped an arm around Willow’s slender waist.
“Don’t worry, honey. As long as I’m president of the company, you’ll be treated well!”
Willow smiled shyly.
Everyone was stunned at the sight of this scene. Caspian was way too infuriating. He was
just a matrilocal son–in–law, and yet he acted like he was above everyone else.
Caspian was right, though. The fact that he married a beautiful wife who was also
president of a company was enough for many other people to envy him.
“You sure do view things differently from everyone else, Mr. Lynch!” Charles laughed.
“I’m Wendell York, the head of the York family. It’s an honor to meet you, the God of
Gambling!”
Right at this moment, Wendell and the others arrived at the reception hall. They were
stunned. the instant they caught sight of Caspian before flames of rage rose in their
hearts.
“Caspian Lynch, why are you also here?” Wendell asked, angry and shocked.
“The respected God of Gambling sent me an invitation. Shouldn’t I be here?” Caspian
asked in disdain.
Upon hearing that, Wendell gave Charles a perplexed look. What was Charles doing? If
Charles had invited Caspian to this banquet, why was he also invited?
Charles gave Caspian a look. What a quick–tongued fellow!
Caspian was obviously trying to create a rift between both sides.

Casino will be mine!” Charles said animatedly.
“What?” Wendell was stunned. Azuria Casino was a business owned by the York family.
What right did Caspian have to decide its fate? Caspian was being disrespectful to him,
the head of the York family!

“Caspian Lynch! You’re way too arrogant! My Azuria Casino is being investigated and was
shut down because of you, and yet you’re trying to decide its fate. Who do you think you
are?” Wendell asked nastily.
“To be honest, you’re right. You’re not in the picture at all,” Caspian said calmly. Despite
that, his words were laced with arrogance.
Caspian’s commanding way of speaking overwhelmed Wendell and the others.
“You!” Wendell was so mad that his hands trembled. Caspian was way too arrogant! How
dare
he?
“Caspian Lynch, how dare you be so arrogant? You’re just the matrilocal son–in–law of the
Stewart family from Southlake City. The Stewart family are just ants to us, the Yorks of
Dhord City!” Celestia stepped forward, speaking vindictively.
“I didn’t expect the Yorks of Dhord City to sound so confident. According to what I’ve
learned, you’re just a lesser–known elite family. You’ll probably become something less
than that after you return to the city this time,” Caspian said blandly.
Willow did not pay much attention to these affairs, but she had heard some things by
virtue of being by Caspian’s side often. That included how the York family of Southlake
City was wiped out by Caspian.
“Caspian, you’re way too conceited. One day, we’ll wipe out the Stewart family in
Southlake as well! Your wife’s company too! It’ll eventually become a business owned by
the York family!‘ Celestia said, her face alight with rage.
Even those in Dhord City would not dare to wilfully antagonize the York family, and yet
Caspian was so arrogant!
Celestia felt humiliated. The flames of rage in her heart burned brighter and brighter.
Wendell’s heart sank. He knew the situation the York family was currently in, so he must
think of a way to get Azuria Casino back this time. The York family would be in danger
otherwise.
Charles looked at Caspian and asked, “Mr. Lynch, now that Wendell is here, tell me. How
do you wish to gamble?”
At this moment, everyone turned to look at Caspian. They wanted to know what Caspian
would propose against the God of Gambling
Was it not a death sentence to gamble with the God of Gambling?
Caspian was not perturbed by their gazes. He pointed at Wendell and said, “The gamble
hinges on Wendell. I bet that he won’t be leaving Hoff Residence today!”
Huh?
Caspian’s words stunned everyone. Wendell, in particular, felt rage come over him. What
the hell did Caspian’s words mean? Was he about to fight him?
Wendell had not experienced such humiliation before, and he could not just take it. There
was already a feud between him and Caspian, and now, Caspian was publicly humiliating
him. He could never just tolerate this!
Wendell clenched his fists tightly. He was so enraged that he was trembling from head to
toe, and his gaze was filled with so much rage they looked like they were on fire.
“Caspian Lynch, you arrogant man! I’ll fight you to the death!” Wendell roared.
He was suddenly engulfed in power. He was now an eternal grandmaster, and he gave his
all against Caspian, launching a punch directly toward Caspian’s face.
Caspian looked calm, though, completely unaffected.
Noticing Wendell’s rage, a grin slowly bloomed on Caspian’s face. This grin was one laced
with disdain.
Caspian launched a punch as well. It was done so swiftly the air rippled with his strength.
With a heavy thud, Wendell was sent flying, and he landed on the floor.
Caspian, on the other hand, had slowly made his way back to his seat.

Upon seeing that, Charles‘ expression turned serious. Caspian seemed to be extremely
powerful. Even an eternal grandmaster like Wendell was not able to take a punch from
him!
That was why he attended the banquet with a leisurely ease. It was because he had the
power to back him up!
“Dad!” Celestia called panickedly.
The moment Wendell landed on the floor, he spat out a glob of blood.
“Dad, are you okay?” Celestia looked at Wendell with concern. Wendell’s pitiful state made
her
heart hurt.
“I’m… I’m fine.” Wendell shook his head.
This was his first time going up against Caspian directly. He had heard Cole talk about how
powerful Caspian was, but he had thought that Cole was exaggerating. Now, though, he
believed everything.
With just one punch, Caspian had showcased what he was capable of. That was why he
could wipe out Mahayan Pavilion and Galecrest…
Caspian was only in his 20s, and yet he possessed such overwhelming power. This was
really hard to accept.
Wendell had been practicing martial arts for decades. He was also supported by the York
family, which allowed him to obtain the resources necessary. That was why he could
achieve what he had today.
However, Caspian was more powerful than him despite his young age. What was the true
extent of his power?
Wendell gave Cole, who was beside him, a look. Cole was standing there, looking
impassive as if he had predicted that this would happen.
How infuriating! How maddening!
Cole knew that he would never stand a chance against Caspian, and yet Cole had not
reminded him. It was because he wanted Wendell to embarrass himself in public.
Now, Wendell was filled with rage directed at Cole as well. If he ever got the chance, he
would surely show Cole the consequences of his actions!
