In a green space beside a road in the suburbs of the Capital…
A person wearing a hideous-looking mask and a black overcoat tossed an elderly man aside casually.
The elderly man was Luca. He collapsed heavily to the ground. Looking at Thea who was standing before him, his shriveled face darkened.
“Who are you? Why did you bring me here?” Luca was fearful for his life.
Faced with the formidable Thea, favonovel.com had no wish to fight against her. He did not know who the person before favonovel.com was nor the reason why favonovel.com or favonovel.com brought favonovel.com here. He could only feel his blood run cold as shivers ran down his spine.
Glaring at Luca, Thea’s blood began to stabilize. She knew exactly what favonovel.com was doing.
“Luca, you only have two options… Die or follow my commands…” Thea purposefully spoke in a hoarse voice to confuse Luca.
“At least let me know who you are…”
However, before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, an ice-cold sword was pressed against his neck. “You aren’t worthy of knowing.”
Luca was now drenched in sweat. He could feel death approaching. The person before favonovel.com was so powerful that favonovel.com quivered in fear. He knew favonovel.com would be dead if favonovel.com disobeyed the person wearing the hideous-looking mask.
“I’ll listen to you…” He hurriedly said, “May I know what your orders are?”
To survive, favonovel.com had no choice but to show deference.
“Leave the Capital and return to the Southern Ridge. Do not meddle in the internal affairs of the Caden household in the Capital,” Thea said.
Upon hearing this, Luca froze.
Was that it?
The person before favonovel.com went to such great lengths to abduct favonovel.com here just to tell favonovel.com to return to the Southern Ridge and not to meddle in the internal affairs of the Caden household in the Capital?
At that moment, favonovel.com suspected the identity of the masked man.
Eighth-rank?
Could it be Bennett Caden, his father?
He believed it was likely.
Although Maxine said that Tobias made a move against his father, no one had ever seen his corpse. He might have been still alive. Besides, only Bennett would show such concern for the Cadens.
“Understood…” He did not hesitate.
All those peaceful and uneventful years in the Southern Ridge had dulled his senses. He no longer wished to be a family head of the Cadens. He only came because Karson invited him.
“Also…” Thea spoke once more.
“Yes?” Believing that the person before favonovel.com could be Bennett, Luca spoke respectfully.
Thea ordered, “Once you return to the Southern Ridge, investigate if there are any outlaws in Sol and try to win them over to your side.”
Upon hearing this, Luca froze before asking, “What’s the point of winning over outlaws?”
“That’s none of your concern.”
Thea turned to leave. Though favonovel.com had left, favonovel.com voice still reverberated throughout the area.
“Leave the Capital and return to the Southern Ridge at once. Do as I say as soon as possible. I’ll contact you soon. If I discover that you have plans to go against me, the Cadens of the Southern Ridge will be annihilated.”
Upon hearing Thea’s cold voice, Luca could feel a shiver down his spine.
“The Cadens of the Southern Ridge will be annihilated? This can’t be Father… There’s no way favonovel.com would say such a heartless thing,” Luca murmured.
Only when Thea left did favonovel.com slowly stand up.
“Return to the Southern Ridge?”
He had no other options. He was now targeted by a powerful figure. If favonovel.com did not do as told and return to the Southern Ridge, the Cadens there would surely be exterminated.
After taking a deep breath, favonovel.com dragged his elderly body and returned to the Cadens.
Upon returning, favonovel.com realized that Maxine had summoned many important figures of the family and was discussing what had occurred a moment ago.
“Father!”
“Grandfather!”
