LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Despite this, Jun Chester didn’t pay much attention to the matter. He examined Gaylord Chow’s injuries again and found that they were only minor cuts and bruises that would heal with some rest.

However, Gaylord Chow’s face was filled with astonishment. He couldn’t believe it…

Kennard Meskill, a disciple of the True Martial Sect, was actually Jun Chester’s apprentice?

This was unimaginable!

Even Margaret Lovall would show deference to Kennard Meskill if she saw him. How could Jun Chester, who was much younger, become the master of such an esteemed figure?

At that moment, Jun Chester stood up and said to Gaylord Chow, “Leave on your own. This doesn’t concern you anymore.”

Gaylord Chow still couldn’t believe that Jun Chester was Kennard Meskill’s master. He was also worried that Jun Chester would go to Pinkriver Temple during this crucial time when it was open for accepting disciples…

But before Gaylord Chow could say anything, Jun Chester had already walked towards James Myers, who was not far away.

Gaylord Chow watched Jun Chester’s departing figure, struggling to find the right words. He had no idea how to stop Jun Chester from going to Pinkriver Temple…

Because until today, Gaylord Chow realized that he didn’t even have the qualifications to advise Jun Chester with his own abilities.

Jun Chester approached James Myers and calmly said, “Let’s go to the Violet Gold Pavilion for a discussion.”

James Myers looked around the devastated Chess Pavilion with a complex expression and sincerely said, “If it weren’t for you today, not only here but even the ancient capital outside would have been engulfed in flames. You saved all of Lordran.”

Jun Chester chuckled lightly. “I wasn’t the first to make a move.”

Saying that, Jun Chester pointed to Eric Chester outside the Chess Pavilion’s main gate. “He was.”

James Myers turned to glance at Eric Chester, his expression becoming even more complicated. Eventually, he couldn’t help but ask, “Is he really your father?”

Jun Chester only replied with two words, “Family matters.”

James Myers was slightly taken aback and could only force a bitter smile. He didn’t ask further.

With James Myers’ status in Lordran, he could inquire about the family matters of any Lordran citizen. However, he dared not touch upon Jun Chester’s family matters.

Standing behind James Myers were several elderly figures, including Blake Charlton. Alf Charlton was the patriarch of the Wen family, and Archer Sherman was Blake Charlton’s uncle.

These two had caused trouble.

Among all the people involved in this event, Blake Charlton’s emotions were the most complicated. At this moment, all he could think about was the safety of the entire Wen family.

If it weren’t for Jun Chester today…

Archer Sherman, with his formidable strength, could potentially turn the whole of Lordran upside down! Now, Archer Sherman has been taken away for interrogation! So, what comes next…

The entire Wen family is evidently going to face severe consequences! Jun Chester glanced at Blake Charlton, as if seeing through his thoughts, and calmly asked, “Are you feeling fortunate that Lordran is not in chaos, or are you worried about the safety of your Wen family?” These words startled Blake Charlton at first, and then he burst into tears. Blake Charlton knelt down on the ground and said, “Jun the Accursed, your insight is unparalleled! I am utterly ashamed!” Jun Chester looked down at Blake Charlton and said, “Take your Wen family and retire by the riverside.”

Blake Charlton kowtowed nine times and said, “Thank you, Jun the Accursed, for your mercy!” Jun Chester sighed, “Rise.” Blake Charlton trembled as he stood up. However, unexpectedly, after getting up, Blake Charlton suddenly said to Jun Chester, “Jun the Accursed, take care!”

These four words came out of Blake Charlton’s mouth, hoarse but weighty. Jun Chester looked at Blake Charlton again and calmly said, “Instead of dying in shame, why not pass down your doctrine of moderation? It may be useless on the battlefield, but it holds great value in times of peace!” Blake Charlton was struck as if by lightning!

He never expected that Jun Chester would see through his thoughts so clearly!

Jun Chester approached and gently patted Blake Charlton’s shoulder, saying, “Moreover, weren’t you planning to personally design the national academy in Jianghai? If you were to die, who would share my concerns in this matter?” Blake Charlton cried uncontrollably.

Despite his old age, at this moment, he cried like a child. It was unimaginable that someone’s heart could be so broad. Blake Charlton knelt down once again and said, “Though old, this humble man can still be of use! Please rest assured, Jun the Accursed! I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to the national academy and give my all until my last breath!” Jun Chester helped Blake Charlton up and said, “Don’t kneel.”

Blake Charlton wiped away his tears and remained silent. Then, Jun Chester, accompanied by James Myers, walked toward another building within the red walls and yellow tiles-the Violet Gold Pavilion, the place for discussing national affairs. However, as the two of them exited the gate of the Chess Pavilion, Eric Chester, carrying breakfast, approached Jun Chester again, wearing a smile on his face. With a fatherly affection, he said, “Son, the breakfast is getting cold.”

Jun Chester replied calmly, “You should go back first.”

Eric Chester looked sad and said, “Son, it’s not always about you, you, you. I am your father.”

Jun Chester’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Please go back.”

Eric Chester took out the breakfast and sandwiched two youtiao (fried dough sticks) with a shaobing (baked flatbread), handing it to Jun Chester. “Eat your breakfast, and then I’ll go back,” he said.

Jun Chester didn’t take it. Eric Chester looked at Jun Chester with pleading eyes and said, “Eat, not having breakfast will make you sick. Also, by the way, just now, I overheard something about Archer Sherman causing trouble in Lordran, seemingly related to the Tianying Sect of Tianying Kingdom?”

“Should I go to Tianying Kingdom? Should I take care of the leader of the Tianying Sect? It’s no big deal. Before it gets dark, I’ll be back to cook dinner for you and your mother!”

After hearing this, Jun Chester didn’t have any particular reaction.

However, James Myers, the Supreme Sovereign who followed Jun Chester, as well as the elderly high-ranking officials of Lordran, all had a twitch on their faces after hearing Eric Chester’s words. What kind of family were they?

Why were their words and actions so arrogant?

Jun Chester responded coldly to Eric Chester, “I have my own plans for this matter, you don’t need to worry. Just focus on what you need to do.”

Eric Chester had a loving expression on his face. “How can it not concern me? After all, I’m also a citizen of Lordran with an identification card! How about this? I heard you say that you want that guy named Andy Salazar to lead the troops to Tianying Kingdom? I can be a pawn in this battle! With me around, we can minimize the casualties. For the sake of the soldiers in Lordran, use me! No need to pay me!”

Although Jun Chester was moved, he still responded indifferently, “Go back and listen.”

Eric Chester smiled and said, “No problem! I’ll go back and listen to your arrangements!”

Jun Chester didn’t say anything more and continued on with James Myers and the others towards the Violet Gold Pavilion.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

At this time, Andy Salazar had also come out of the Chess Pavilion and was about to follow Jun Chester to the Violet Gold Pavilion for the meeting.

However, Eric Chester blocked his way.

Their eyes met. Andy Salazar was about to politely greet Eric Chester when Eric Chester questioned him without holding back, “Did you bully my son when he first arrived in the military?”

Andy Salazar’s face tightened, suddenly turning into a stunned expression.

Eric Chester sneered, “If you dare to disrespect my son again, I’ll beat you. Understand?”

Andy Salazar’s face became gloomy.

Strictly speaking, he was Jun Chester’s first instructor after he joined the military, his former superior! Now, he was being threatened by Jun Chester’s father. It was truly absurd!

But when I think of Eric Chester’s terrifying power, especially when he appeared before and pinned Archer Sherman to the wall with a single sword… Andy Salazar, for the time being, swallowed his anger and said in a deep voice, “Understood.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as those words fell, Eric Chester’s tone suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to pat Andy Salazar’s shoulder. “Just kidding with you, kid. Your father was my sworn brother in my younger days. In terms of seniority, you should call me ‘godfather.’ Your arm is injured, right?”

“Tsk, tsk, you’re too weak. You can’t even defeat a mere Archer Sherman! Look at yourself, not doing as well as my son. In terms of strength, you’re not stronger than my son! It’s really frustrating!”

“How about this? Let me give you some pointers to help you become stronger. Andy Salazar, swallow the world like a tiger, only then can you live up to your name. Otherwise, you’ll be a disgrace to your own name!”

Who knows what Andy Salazar’s current mood is like. But just as he was about to say something, even if he had to die or become crippled, even if he remained ignorant, he would never acknowledge this baldy as his godfather. He wouldn’t do anything and wouldn’t accept guidance from this baldy!

Unexpectedly, before Andy Salazar could say those words, he felt a violent aura emanating from his shoulder. It lasted only a moment, but the sword wound on Andy Salazar’s arm visibly healed at an astonishing speed! Andy Salazar’s overall strength increased by more than a hundredfold!

At that moment, all the people in the imperial capital noticed a golden light rising into the sky from the center of the city, from within the red walls and yellow tiles.

Andy Salazar, stepping into the Ninth Realm!

Fifteen minutes later…

When Andy Salazar looked at Eric Chester again, his eyes had changed! They were filled with admiration, fanaticism, respect, and… genuine praise!

Eric Chester continued to wear a smiling face, calmly looking at Andy Salazar. “Call me dad!”

Andy Salazar gritted his teeth in anger. But just at that moment, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the Violet Gold Pavilion. “If you don’t leave here, I’ll throw you out!”

The owner of that voice, who else could it be but Jun Chester?

Upon hearing the voice, Eric Chester immediately spoke in the direction of the Violet Gold Pavilion. “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. We’re leaving, we’re leaving… Hehe, I was just afraid that this kid, Andy Salazar, would hold you back. I was helping him!”

With those words, Eric Chester decisively left the entrance of the Chess Pavilion. In just a moment, he returned to the old residence in Luofu Lane. However, as soon as he entered the door, he was startled by someone sitting under the pergola in the courtyard.

This person was dressed in white and was a middle-aged man of similar age to Eric Chester. He was none other than Sebastian Meskill, the eldest son of Kennard Meskill, the Chief Elder of the True Martial Sect.
