Chapter 199 Lockdown
“See, Willow? I’ve always told you that he must be someone with authority! Do you
believe me now? Turns out your husband’s a general officer! No one in Southlake
funny tricks on you now!” marveled Zoey.
Will dare to try any
She was also envious of Willow as she recalled herself blushing throughout the whole
ordeal when Caspian rescued her and carried her out of danger.
She felt that it was a pity that Caspian was Willow’s husband and could not possibly
become hers.
Willow was elated. “I get it already! I just never expected Caspian to be such a highly–
ranked officer in the military!”
She had always thought Caspian was a good–for–nothing man who married into her family
because of pure luck.
Caspian understood that Willow would not be able to accept the fact that was the
Diatoranian God of War even if he tried to tell her the truth.
It was simply too intimidating of a title for the common people.
Zoey
tinued to praise, “Caspian’s ranking in the military is only one step below John, you know?
I sure hope I can get a man like Caspian as well.
“That’s easy. I’m sure Caspian has plenty of friends within the military who he could
introduce you to,” jested Willow.
“It’s alright! It’s not like I’m as pretty as you or anything. I might not be able to handle
having such an awesome husband like yours!” answered Zoey.

She could only look up to a man of such quality like Caspian.
Willow held onto Caspian’s arm and exclaimed, “Listen, Caspian. You can’t just simply let
everyone know about your identity, alright? I don’t want you to be constantly gawked at
by other women. It’ll be a problem if all sorts of rivals pop up to challenge our marriage!”
Caspian was surprised that Willow wanted him to continue keeping a low profile. He had
expected her to be proud of his identity.

inadequate to be paired with him.
She felt that he was too powerful of a man as a general officer. He could easily charm any
other
woman.
Titles and the authority that came along with it had been the symbol of might since

Not even the most affluent businessman was a match of a man with authority.
She was worried that she might lose Caspian if he ever publicly announced his identity.
Smiling, Caspian reassured her, “What are you saying, honey? I won’t ever lay eyes on
any other woman other than you.”
He was surprised that she would be jealous and protective over something like this.
“I don’t care. You have to listen to me! Or you’ll be sleeping on the sofa tonight.”
She instantly regretted her words as she wondered if he might run away to look for
another woman’s company.
“Relax, honey. You’re my one and only,” answered Caspian.
Willow felt her heart aflutter as she basked in the sweet aftertaste of his reassurance.
She couldn’t believe that her own husband was a general officer, and he was so loyal to
her too.
She wanted to give him a reward as she felt that it was an honor to be loved by a man like
him.
“Enough already, you two! My eyes are bleeding with how much flirting is going on in front
of me! Hmph! I’ll have Willow all to myself tonight!” complained Zoey.
The couple was taken aback as they were expecting to spend some alone time once they
reached home.
But they didn’t decline Zoey’s requests as they felt bad.
Willow and Zoey went for a shower after they returned home safely.
Caspian sat down on the sofa in the living room and made a call to John.
Due to the special circumstances tonight, John was still on high alert and had not yet gone
to bed.
John immediately greeted Caspian as he accepted the call, “Lord Caspian, how are
things?”
“The Tigrans have been wiped clean, but we’ve also suffered tens of casualties,” answered
Caspian.
John let out a sigh of relief. “That’s great news. I’ll be able to have a good sleep tonight,
then.” Caspian continued, “I’ve already assigned troops to send all the treasures in
Dragon’s Hill back to South Aridlands. I need you to audit and record everything before
turning them in.”
“Yes, sir!” answered John.

Meanwhile, Sylvia led some soldiers toward Glorious Group.
It was five in the morning, and the surroundings were dead silent save for a few security
guards on duty.
She led the charge and subdued the guards in an instant.
The group then continued to charge into Glorious Group.
The sudden invasion took the guards by surprise. They were given no time to react
accordingly.
Sylvia continued to lead the charge and broke into the condominium of Glorious Group.
They rounded up all of the higher–ups of the group.
The higher–ups were abruptly kidnapped in the middle of the night and were
dumbfounded by the sudden occurrence.
“Who are you? Why did you arrest me?” asked Greg.
“You’re all arrested under the orders of Lord Caspian for attempting to steal the treasures
of Diatoran, as well as attempting to murder Lord Caspian himself!” declared Sylvia.
Greg tried to claim innocence, “This has nothing to do with me! I don’t even know what
you’re talking about! I’m a Tigran, and I wish to request to be directed to the Embassy of
Tigra!”
He felt disrespected to be woken up in the middle of the night.
Sylvia, however, was not in the mood for chatter and simply ordered her soldiers to arrest

Other residents of the condominium were shocked by the commotion.
They were all woken up by the commotion and came out of their units to gawk at what
was happening.
They did not expect to see the CEO of Glorious Group get apprehended.
Nobody had expected the seemingly righteous Glorious Group to have their leader
detained.
Plenty of employees had expected a better life when they applied to work for Glorious
Group, but their dreams were crushed within a month due to the group’s closure.
Macy soon arrived at the scene as well.
“Macy, you’re right on time. I need you to lock down Glorious Group and prevent anyone
from entering or leaving,” ordered Sylvia.
“Of course!”
Macy immediately stationed 200 soldiers around Glorious Group.

The higher–ups of the group were then moved to South Aridlands.
They were to face serious punishment for their crimes against the security of Diatoran.
Caspian remained at home. He could finally relax once he received an update that
everything was going accordingly.
However, he no longer had any time to sleep as the sun had already risen.
Willow rushed out of the bedroom in a panic. “This is bad! I’m going to be late! Hubby,
please drive me to my office!”
After coming home, she slept right after taking a shower.
When she woke up, she realized that she had overslept and was late for work.
“What’s the hurry? It’s not a big deal for the boss to be late once in a while, no?” asked
Caspian.
“No way! I should be setting a good example for my employees!” answered Willow,
“Today’s an exception, considering you only made it home late into the night. Why don’t
you catch up on some sleep and eat breakfast before going to work?”
Willow nodded her head and realized that she might as well stay at home a little longer
since she was already late.
