Chapter 767 Balthazar's Private Call
"What's going on? Why is there a pit here? It looks like the soil has just been dug up. Could someone
have taken the scroll?" Aria said worriedly.
Tom quickly knelt and started digging through the soil with his hands.
But no matter how hard he searched, there was no trace of the scroll.
Tom's heart was in turmoil. The Black Moon Technique Scroll was missing!
"Shit! The scroll has been stolen!" Tom was in a panic.
"Are you sure you hid it here?" Caspian asked.
"I remember it clearly. It was right here. It's really gone," Tom answered, feeling helpless.
He finally decided to practice the Black Moon Technique, only to discover that the scroll had been
stolen.
"It means someone from Three Poisons Hall survived and took the scroll before us," Aria analyzed.
"Damn it!" Tom gritted his teeth and pounded the ground with his fists.
"Now that it's happened, there's no use regretting it," Caspian consoled.
"Lord Caspian, the Black Moon Technique Scroll is a family heirloom. My revenge depends on it.
"But now that the scroll is gone, I can't improve my strength. It seems I won't be able to avenge
Greenton or my father," Tom said. Tears were welling up in his eyes.
"Calm down, Tom. This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, your scroll wouldn't have been lost," Miranda
said, feeling guilty.
As soon as she said that, she started crying too. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Enough of this crying. I'll eradicate Skyarch Palace. You two don't need to worry about it," Caspian
said calmly.
"Lord Caspian, are you serious? Skyarch Palace has many experts! I heard they even have many
innate grandmasters! What if you're not their match?" Tom expressed his concern.
"Innate grandmasters are considered strong? I became an innate grandmaster when I was 18 years
old. They're just a bunch of ants to me," Caspian said confidently with a smirk.
"What?" Tom was stunned by Caspian's words.
Was Caspian bragging? Innate grandmasters were extremely rare in Diatoran, and Caspian became
one at 18 years old? Just how strong was he now?
"Let's focus on what to do next," Caspian said. He rarely mentioned his strength to others.
"Maybe the person who stole the scroll hasn't gone far yet. We might be able to retrieve it if we chase
them now," Aria suggested.
"It's too late. They arrived ahead of us even though we drove here. It shows that they have exceptional
speed. There's no point in wasting our efforts," Caspian said calmly.
For Caspian, even if Skyarch Palace had the Black Moon Technique Scroll, they still wouldn't be a
match for him.
After that, Caspian drove the car and took everyone back to Riverside Villa.
In less than an hour, they arrived home.
"Caspian is finally back!" Cecilia exclaimed as soon as the car stopped.
Following her voice was the aroma of food.
"Cecilia, why aren't you staying at the dorm today?" Caspian asked.
"Caspian, it's the weekend. Did you forget?" Cecilia chuckled.
Then, Willow also came out.
"You're finally back!" Willow was relieved to see everyone return safely.
Apart from Tom suffering from some injuries, everyone else was unharmed.
"Willow, I'm sorry for making you worry," Tom said awkwardly.
"It's okay. As long as you're back safely, that's what matters. Come on in," Willow said with a smile.
"Willow, I think I smelled food," Caspian said.
"Mom said Tom and Miranda haven't eaten. And since Cecilia is back, she made another meal," Willow
explained.
Caspian entered the kitchen and saw Sherry busy inside.
"Mom, you don't have to cook. I'll hire someone," Caspian said, feeling sorry.
He originally intended for Sherry to enjoy her retirement, but she was still working so hard.
"No need. It's just cooking. If you don't let me do anything, I'll feel bored at home," Sherry said.
She wasn't the kind of person who enjoyed idling around. After so many years, she had gotten used to
a busy life.
She would feel uneasy if she didn't do anything all day.
Willow was about to bring out the dishes, but Cecilia entered the kitchen first. "You shouldn't be doing
this, Willow. Just wait to eat.
"Caspian, why are you standing there? Aren't you worried Willow might hurt herself?"
Obviously, Cecilia also knew about Willow's pregnancy.
Willow glanced at Caspian awkwardly. The latter shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
"Willow, we need to hurry," Caspian whispered in Willow's ear.
Willow blushed, unsure of what to say. It wouldn't be possible in these few days. She was having her
period.
Sensing the harmonious atmosphere between Caspian and Willow, Sherry couldn't stop smiling.
This was the life she had always wanted. She didn't need wealth or status. Just seeing her family
happy made her feel content.
Just then, Caspian received a call on his phone.
At first, he thought it was Laina calling, but when he checked, it was Balthazar's private number.
Caspian was surprised. Was Balthazar calling because he was out of danger?
Caspian quickly went into the bedroom and closed the door.
"Yes, Your Majesty?" Caspian spoke softly after answering the call.
However, Caspian felt something was off.
He noticed Balthazar's unusual tone, but he still showed his respect.
If Caspian hadn't heard Balthazar's words himself, he would have thought he was hallucinating.
These words weren't something Balthazar would say.
Suddenly, Caspian realized that Balthazar had yet to be out of danger. That was why he was saying
such things.
