hapter 229 Attacking on Two Fronts
All of a sudden, Wendell guffawed. Then, he shot a piercing gaze at Homer and asked, “So,
you want to kill Caspian, huh? Do you have a plan?”
“We plan on using our forces to keep Caspian in Easton. The Yorks can immediately send
people over to Southlake City and seize Southlake Corporation, which belongs to Caspian’s
wife. Then, you can join us in Easton. We’ll trap him by attacking him on two fronts!”
Homer freely shared the plan that had been devised. It sounded flawless. Caspian would
not be able to escape.
No matter how powerful he was, he could not defend himself on all fronts.
Once chaos broke out in Southlake City, he would have to either choose to return or give
up on his wife’s company.
“Excellent! What a marvelous idea! That’s settled, then. We, the Yorks, are willing to join
forces with Mahayan Pavilion to defeat Caspian,” Wendell declared in excitement.
“You’ve made the wise choice, Mr. York. Right now, Southlake Corporation, which belongs
to Caspian’s wife, Willow Stewart, has taken full control over the business market in
Southlake City.
“ASI
long as you settle the situation in Southlake City, the company’s yours!” Homer added. He
was just as ecstatic.
“Wonderful!” Wendell laughed. The issue that had stumped him for days now was finally
getting resolved!
As long as they got rid of Caspian, the Yorks would gain full control over Southlake City,
and Mahayan Pavilion would also be the most powerful force in Easton. This solution
benefited both of them.
Once Homer left, Celestia cried out excitedly, “This is a great plan, Dad! Caspian won’t
know what’s coming for him. He’s doomed!”
“Of course! If we can gain full control over Southlake City, we’ll be able to become one of
the top elite families in Dhord City!” Wendell said with a nod.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had always been their goal to become a top elite family. After all, being one of the top
families was significantly different than being one of the lesser–known ones.
Many lesser–known elite families spent centuries without making it into the top tier of elite
families–all because they lacked the right opportunity.

“Celestia, you lost last time because you didn’t have enough people with you. This time, I
plan on giving you 100 tier–two experts to bring with you, as well as ten tier–three experts
and an eternal grandmaster.
“Your mission is to take back the Two Lakes area and seize Caspian’s wife’s company!”
Wendell instructed with a serious expression.
For the sake of reclaiming the resources and business market in the Two Lakes area,
Wendell went so far as to dispatch many of the family’s expert fighters.
The physique of ordinary people only allowed them to become tier–one experts at most.
the
The more advanced levels included the tier–two and tier–three experts, as well as eternal
grandmasters and innate grandmasters. The more powerful a martial arts expert was,
harder it was to climb up the ranks.
After all these years, the Yorks only managed to train up a single eternal grandmaster.
For the sake of the resources from the Two Lakes area, Wendell sent out the family’s only
eternal grandmaster as well.
“I’ll do a good job, Dad!” Celestia answered with a nod.
She smiled at the thought of punishing Caspian.
“We only have one chance. Failure is not an option!” Wendell warned grimly.
This was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity!
“Understood!”
Celestia nodded before heading off to start gathering the people.
Once Celestia left, Wendell began to sip his coffee again.
He was smiling faintly.
Since the York family’s only eternal grandmaster was joining the fight, there was no way
they would lose this time!
Half a day later, Celestia and the Yorks‘ subordinates had arrived in Southlake City.
“What should we do now, Ms. York?” an elderly man dressed in black asked Celestia.
Even just standing there, the man gave off such a commanding air that everyone around
him seemed to suffocate from the pressure.
The elderly man in black was Ivan Goff, a martial arts expert who had recently become an
eternal grandmaster. Adam, the one who died a while back, was Ivan’s student.

He was joining the fight this time to not only take back what rightfully belonged to the
Yorks but also to avenge Adam as well!
“We shouldn’t waste time. Let’s head over to Southlake Corporation’s branch office and
seize it first!” Celestia instructed.
With a large team of fighters at her command, Celestia was a lot more confident.
She led the York family’s team of experts to Southlake Corporation’s branch office with
one goal in mind to get a swift and decisive victory.
Her goal was to take over the entire Southlake Corporation before Caspian and Willow got
back. Over at Southlake Corporation’s branch office, Geoffrey was busy working.
Willow had made him the general manager of the branch office.
He was even getting a salary of ten million.
Honored by the trust Willow had in him, Geoffrey made sure to do his job properly.
Recently, the branch office had also seen a growth in profits.
Geoffrey was signing some documents when the door to his office was abruptly kicked
open.
Startled, he quickly looked up and saw Celestia barging in with a group of people.
“Celestia? Why are you here again?” Geoffrey exclaimed.
He did not expect Celestia to return after leaving with her tail between her legs.
Previously, Caspian had warned Celestia that he would kill her if she appeared in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSouthlake City again.
Celestia waltzed into the office and sat down on the couch. Smiling, she remarked, “You
must be shocked, Geoffrey. Well, I’ll tell you what’s going on. This time, I’m definitely
taking back everything that belongs to the York family, including Southlake Corporation!”
“I don’t want to see you. Leave, and take your people with you!” Geoffrey said
exasperatedly. In reality, he was a little afraid of her.
“Hahaha! Why should I leave just because you tell me to? It’d be a disgrace,” Celestia
scoffed with an evil smirk.
“Security! Someone’s causing trouble here, Chase them out!” Geoffrey shouted.
Alas, no one came in.
“Don’t bother. They’re all taking a nap on the floor!” Celestia said with a chuckle.
Geoffrey turned to look outside and saw the security guards rolling on the floor in pain.

“Why, you…”
Geoffrey was stupefied. The Yorks came prepared this time.
He grabbed his phone to call Caspian, but someone immediately snatched it and crushed
it to
bits
Geoffrey looked up in shock, only to find an elderly man in black glaring at him.
“What are you doing-”
Before Geoffrey could finish his sentence, Ivan grabbed him by the neck and lifted him.
In an instant, Geoffrey’s face turned scarlet. He could not breathe!
“Should I kill him, Ms. York?” Ivan asked.
“This bastard Geoffrey not only failed to help us, but he even betrayed us. Break his legs
and hang him up outside the building! Let everyone know what happens when they cross
us, the Yorks of Dhord City!” Celestia declared haughtily.
“Understood!”
Ivan nodded and did as told without hesitation.
He threw Geoffrey onto the floor and stomped on the latter’s legs.
Two loud cracks rang out. Geoffrey’s bones had been broken.
He howled in agony as all the color drained out of his face. A few of the York family’s men
came over and hauled him out.
