A muted thud rang out. Blood splattered everywhere.The subordinate's face was covered in blood, but he was still alive!"Lord Caspian! You …" Harry Lewis, the man who wanted to shield Caspian from the bullet, had frozen. He was staring at the scene in front of him in shock.Blood was gushing out of Caspian's right arm.During that critical split second, Caspian stuck his arm out to shield Harry.He had used his own arm to protect his subordinate!The moment the bullet struck Caspian, his blood sprayed onto Harry's face.Caspian considered every one of his soldiers his kin. He could not stand by and allow Harry to die protecting him from the bullet.Furthermore, it was a special day today. He was not going to let anything happen to anyone!Harry was stupefied to find that Lord Caspian of all people had shielded him from the bullet.He was ready to die defending Caspian, but instead, it was Caspian who saved him.Sylvia and the others were also thunderstruck to find that Casp
Caspian, Sylvia, and the rest were relieved to see the fighter jets.The roars of the fighter jets' engines and the bangs from the missiles hitting their targets thundered together.The Apex Legion hidden on both mountainsides were pulverized.Soon, Diatoran's elite forces arrived on the battlefield as well.When they saw the wreckage of the three off-road vehicles and Caspian's injury, they were able to deduce how intense the fight had been earlier."Lord Caspian, we, the Special Forces, have been ordered to ensure your safety!" The leader of the special forces unit saluted Caspian."The enemy is hidden on both sides of the mountain. Get rid of them at once!" Caspian ordered."Yes, sir!" The special forces unit did not delay. They swiftly mounted a forceful attack on both sides.Howls and cries of agony echoed through the mountains as Tigra's Apex Legion came under heavy fire.Tanks and missile launchers appeared as well, and another wave of fierce attacks was leveled at both
"Yes, Lord Caspian!" the female special forces soldiers chorused in unison.Caspian was like a god to them."We're running out of time. Once you're ready, head over to Southlake City to meet up with the rest of the bridal party," Caspian continued."Understood, Lord Caspian!" they said with vigor. It was a great honor for them to be tasked to protect the wife of Lord Caspian."Hide your guns under your skirts. Tie them to your calves. If you're attacked, do not hesitate to fire!" Caspian instructed."Yes, Lord Caspian!" They felt privileged that Caspian, the one they revered, was personally giving them his orders. This had always been a dream of theirs.After making the arrangements with the female special forces soldiers, Caspian looked at John. "Since I can't meet up with the bridal party at once, tell your people to bring my suit and the wedding rings over to me.""Yes, Lord Caspian!" John replied."Also, prepare the outfits for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, as well as all
Half an hour later, the Stewart family finally stopped bustling around and noticed Willow."Where's that useless husband of yours, Willow? Why isn't he here yet?""You should just cancel the wedding. That good-for-nothing Caspian has been bragging all this time. I'm sure he has gone into hiding now because he can't hold a wedding ceremony.""Why did that piece of trash even think he could compete against Mr. Richard? He humiliated himself.""It's such a shame that a useless guy like Caspian got to marry a wife as beautiful as Willow."Some of the Stewart family's relatives piled on their sarcastic remarks.Willow's cheeks flamed. She wanted nothing more than to leave at once.However, she still recalled what happened the other night. She had seen how respectful Sylvia and the others had been when they greeted Caspian.Willow chose to believe Caspian. She was certain he was late because he had urgent matters to attend to."Willow, it's one thing for you to humiliate yourself. D
Willow, Miranda, Zoey, and all the scions hanging around were thunderstruck by the majestic display.The people inside Stewart Residence, including the relatives, Richard, and Alicia also came out after hearing the commotion. They wanted to see what was happening.When they saw the armored vehicles, they froze in place."Goodness me! What's going on? Why are there armored vehicles here?""I heard about a crisis over at the southern border. They must be heading over there!""It doesn't look like it. The vehicles seem to be coming over to Stewart Residence!""Look at the cars behind the armored vehicles. They're all decorated with flowers. Those cars must be a part of a bridal party!""Is anyone else from the Stewart family getting married today?"The crowd muttered among themselves. They could not figure out what was going on.With the help of the household staff, Marilyn came out as well. She was also startled by the grand procession.Why were there armored vehicles heading t
"What about the wedding convoy? Is that Caspian's idea, too?" Willow asked again."Yup." Shirlene nodded in confirmation.Now that everything was confirmed, everybody was surprised once again.Willow was filled with mixed emotions. She didn't expect her husband to be so influential. Not only did he mobilize over a thousand world-class luxury cars, but he also got armored vehicles to escort him.Everything seemed surreal.If all of this was true, why did he conceal his identity? Why endure the ridicule and taunts of others?Miranda was in shock. Although she had known that Caspian had an extraordinary background, she never expected him to be so powerful.He held a wedding that could shake the entire city. How many more secrets was this man hiding?Zoey and Willow's schoolmates were equally stunned. Who would have imagined that Willow's spouse had such an influential background? The Stewarts even mocked them before this. Finally, they could stand tall.Marilyn's face turned dark
"Ms. Stewart, besides Mr. Lynch, who else is qualified to be your husband?" Shirlene responded."Then why is he taking so long to arrive?" Willow asked again. She still found it hard to believe that he had arranged such a grand event."Mr. Lynch has been delayed due to some unforeseen circumstances, but he will definitely arrive." Shirlene couldn't tell Willow that Caspian was attacked. So, she brushed her off with a random excuse.The appearance of the luxurious motorcade had turned the surroundings of the mansion into a bustling spectacle. The conversation between the two was not loud. So, the people didn't hear them."Do you really believe that Caspian, that useless guy, could orchestrate such a grand spectacle? The groom must be someone else!" Noticing that Caspian hadn't shown up, Alicia was delighted.She had never believed that Caspian could arrange such a magnificent event.The Stewarts heaved a sigh of relief as well. They had been constantly mocking Caspian before thi
"Of course, I love it! I didn't expect such a huge surprise from you!" Willow exclaimed. Seeing the tears in her eyes, Caspian asked again, "Did someone bother you before I arrived?""No, I was just a bit emotional. That's why I cried." Willow was filled with joy. She no longer wanted to dwell on what happened earlier.Caspian scanned his surroundings and noticed a group of scions, each holding a diamond ring. Nicholas was there, too. It seemed like they had proposed to Willow just now. Caspian could guess what had happened earlier.Caspian wanted to put the ring he had prepared for Willow during their wedding ceremony at the Jade Dragon Grand Hotel. But he couldn't resist the urge to humiliate these guys.So, he took out the custom-made diamond ring. The ring box instantly became the center of attention.As Caspian opened the box, a deep blue, teardrop-shaped ring came into their sight."Wow! It's the Ocean's Heart! I've heard this deep blue diamond is priceless!" a man said
