The Almighty Lord Caspian by Cath Nitfisch

Chapter 701 Black Moon "You're saying it as if I'm trying to harm you. They wanted to deal with you from the beginning. I just used their mentality to set them up," Laina said.

"Then you must ensure my personal safety," Tom said.

"Why? Are you afraid of death?" Laina asked.

"I'm not, but I'm heavily injured and can't fight against them," Tom said somewhat exasperatedly.

Before, he wouldn't have been afraid.

But this time was different. He was still heavily injured. If he encountered an assassination attempt, he would have

no means to defend himself.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to protect you," Laina said. g "Okay then." Tom nodded.

Laina couldn't stay at the hospital all the time, so she arranged for some security measures near the hospital before leaving.

"Tom, I never thought you had such a tragic life," Aria exclaimed after Laina left.

"Yeah, I have a deep feud with Skyarch Palace. I'll definitely get revenge one day," Tom said fiercely.

"You're alone now. How are you going to fight against Skyarch Palace?" Aria asked.

"My family has a peerless treasure

blade passed down through generations. As long as I can retrieve it and master the technique, getting revenge will be easy," Tom answered.

"What? Your family has a treasure blade that's been passed down? What does it look like?" Aria asked curiously.

"It's called Black Moon. It has a long and wide blade with immense killing power," Tom replied.

"Why does it sound so cumbersome? Is it easy to use?" Aria asked.

"To unleash its full power, it requires a special blade technique. But I've only mastered the first segment of the Black Moon Technique Scroll. I still have a long way to go," Tom said.

"Your family even has a blade technique scroll that's been passed down? It sounds impressive!" Aria's curiosity about Tom's background grew.

"Of course. The Black Moon Technique Scroll has a total of seven segments.

I've only learned the first, but it's already very powerful. Even my father only mastered three segments. With just that, he can deal with many strong opponents," Tom said proudly.

""So where's your Black Moon?" Aria asked.

She really wanted to see for herself just how powerful Black Moon truly was.

"Someone took it when the martial artists from Skyarch Palace attacked us," Tom said, feeling somewhat

| discouraged.

"Ah, what a pity! I wanted to see how | powerful this blade really is. It's frustrating that it was taken away," Aria exclaimed indignantly.

"Yeah. Black Moon has a long history.

I'm afraid I won't be able to finish telling you even after days," Tom said.

"Really? Well, I'm not sleepy anyway.

Why don't you just tell me?" Aria asked.

She was a little sleepy at first, but hearing about the blade technique piqued her interest.

"In short, this blade is very powerful.

Black Moon is most powerful on the night of a full moon. It can absorb the energy of nature and condense it into a

fierce beast. This blade has changed hands many times and was finally obtained by my ancestors. = "However, this blade has been stained with too much blood. My ancestors found it very ominous, so they always kept it hidden in a secret chamber.

"This also resulted in no one in our family being able to use this blade.

When the martial artists from Skyarch Palace attacked, Greenton was wiped out," Tom explained tirelessly.

"I didn't expect such a mystical origin.

It's really beyond my knowledge!" Aria exclaimed.

She didn't expect that there were still so many elite families of traditional martial arts around and such a legendary weapon.

"By the way, did your family's Black Moon Technique Scroll also fall into the hands of Skyarch Palace?" Aria asked.

"No." Tom shook his head. "My dad gave me the scroll when I escaped." "Can you let me see the scroll? I'm so curious," Aria asked. | She was now filled with great interest in the things of elite families of traditional martial arts.

"Sorry, I didn't bring the scroll with me." Tom shook his head.

""Are you lying to me? You didn't bring such an important thing with you? I think you just don't want me to see it," Aria said, feeling annoyed.

"I'm not stupid. If I brought the scroll

with me and was chased, wouldn't the | scroll fall into someone else's hands?" Tom retorted. ~— He had long hidden the scroll in a very hidden place.

Aria didn't continue to ask about the scroll. After all, this was his privacy.

2 Tom and Aria chatted enthusiastically.

They didn't feel sleepy at all.

After Laina left, she originally planned to report the situation at the hospital to Caspian, but it was already midnight. She didn't want to disturb him.

She planned to tell Caspian about what happened at the hospital the next

morning.

Caspian must be busy, and she couldn't trouble him with every little thing.

The news of Wyatt's and Lanson's deaths quickly reached the Andrews family.

Upon learning that his son's men had been killed, Jerry was furious. "Zane, what's going on? How could two experts not take down an injured man?" "Dad, it's not as you think. They could have killed Tom, but something unexpected happened," Zane quickly explained.

"What happened?" Jerry asked.

"There were two very powerful women in Tom's ward. They were the ones | who organized the assassination of

Wyatt and Lanson," Zane replied.

"Aren't your men eternal grandmasters? They couldn't even take down two women? How useless!" Jerry said coldly.

"I just got the news. Those two aren't ordinary people. They're from Task Force Rose, and one of them is the captain," Zane reported.

"What? Task Force Rose? Laina?" Jerry exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! If they hadn't shown up, our plan would have succeeded." Zane sighed.

"This is bad. We've been targeted by Task Force Rose," Jerry said nervously.

"What's so bad about that?" Zane asked.

ask Force Rose is the most powerful and mysterious special forces organization in Diatoran. They're spread all over the country. If they find out Wyatt's and Lanson's identities, they can eventually find out about us.

Isn't that bad enough?" Jerry replied.

"Wyatt and Lanson rarely appeared.

This time as well, they didn't bring anything that could prove their identities. You don't need to worry," Zane said.

"But what if Tom recognizes them?" Jerry asked.
