LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Unable to think of any other explanation for the situation before her, Anne Cobb was left to consider one possibility. What if her cousin’s husband, Jun Chester, was truly the illegitimate son of the Supreme Lord? In that case, for Jun Chester, someone like Peter Alston was indeed insignificant.

At that moment, Jun Chester had already entered the room. Noticing the absence of the Supreme Lord in the living room, Jun Chester asked Lyvia, “Lyvia, where’s Myers?”

Lyvia responded, “He just went upstairs.”

Jun Chester nodded, “Then you all continue chatting, I’ll go upstairs to discuss something with him.”

Lyvia smiled, “Okay, I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner.”

Acknowledging her, Jun Chester headed straight upstairs.

At this moment, Anne Cobb was too stunned to ask anything. She was practically sleepwalking. Even when Carol and Lyvia guided her to the sofa, she remained in shock.

It was too overwhelming. She had actually met the Supreme Lord of Lordran in Jun Chester’s house!

Anne Cobb’s emotions were in turmoil for a long time, but she reminded herself to stay calm. Having familial ties with someone like Jun Chester was not only a great opportunity for her but also an unprecedented opportunity for the entire Cobb Real Estate. If they could maintain a good relationship with Jun Chester, the entire Cobb family would undoubtedly soar to new heights!

Thinking this, Anne Cobb’s attitude towards Carol underwent a complete turnaround, addressing her warmly as ‘little aunt’.

Upstairs, Jun Chester had entered an office. The Supreme Lord was in a serious conversation on the phone. Jun Chester noticed an invitation with gilded lettering on the office desk. It read ‘Chronicle Auction House’.

This wasn’t unusual. The problem was the calligraphy on the invitation. It seemed to be from a master calligrapher, even more mysterious than that of Woods Randall.

The Supreme Lord had hung up the phone and seeing Jun Chester seriously examining the invitation, he explained, “This was found with the Mills family. But after investigating, I found that there is no such auction house in Lordran.”

Jun Chester responded casually, “Looking at the handwriting on this invitation, it seems to have been written by a martial arts master. Moreover, this person’s cultivation level has at least reached Emptiness!”

“Emptiness?” The Supreme Lord was taken aback.

Jun Chester spoke solemnly, “It seems that in the seven years I’ve been away, the martial arts world of Lordran has indeed undergone great changes. Or perhaps, this is how the martial arts world of Lordran has always been, and we just haven’t paid serious attention.”

The Supreme Lord gasped, “An Ian Mills nearly caused chaos in Lordran. If there are more terrifying martial arts masters, the government of Lordran may not have peace.”

Jun Chester asked, “What is the status of the Mills family now?”

The Supreme Lord replied, “Most of the family members have been taken for questioning. Only Ian Mills and his son Han Mills of the Mills family are still at large! Now… we can only wait for news from Phoenix.”

Just as he finished speaking, Jun Chester received a text message. It was from Phoenix Myers.

“Master, I’ve infiltrated Mycintia but can’t leave at the moment. Don’t worry, I’m safe. Also, Mycintia will start accepting disciples next month, on the tenth. Before then, countless hermits will appear at Lake Chronicle to attend the Chronicle Spring Auction there!”

After reading this message, Jun Chester frowned.

“Lake Chronicle…”

Murmuring to himself, Jun Chester opened the invitation. It indeed contained information about Lake Chronicle. The Chronicle Spring Auction would take place in four days, and with this invitation, they could enter the Chronicle Auction House located at Lake Chronicle. However, the problem was that the invitation to the Mills family from the Chronicle Auction House was addressed to a woman named Jenny Mills.

Jun Chester immediately asked, “In the Mills family, is there a woman named Jenny Mills?”

The Supreme Lord shook his head, “No.”

Jun Chester narrowed his eyes, saying, “Phoenix has already sent a message, stating that she has infiltrated Mycintia. As for this Chronicle Spring Auction, it will be held four days from now at Lake Chronicle in the south. I have to go there myself to see how many people in this world still need to meet me.”

“Four days from now…” Supreme Lord expressed somberly, asking, “Do you need me to send someone to investigate first?”

“No need,” Jun Chester responded indifferently. “Right now, it seems that it’s only Ian Mills of Mycintia who wants to act against the Lordran government. The rest still need to be observed. We must not startle the snake in the grass!”

Supreme Lord nodded, “We have no other choice. But, it’s still a bother for you to make the trip.”

Jun Chester laughed, “It’s not a problem at all. If Lordran indeed has many reclusive martial arts masters, it’s a good thing for Lordran and an even better thing for me!”

Supreme Lord wryly smiled, “Perhaps it is so for you. But for Lordran, it’s not necessarily a good thing. After all, if it weren’t for Ian Mills showing up at Ocean Hall, we wouldn’t have known about his formidable power. If there were a few more Ian Mills standing against us, it would be a huge disaster!”

Speaking up to this point, Supreme Lord added, “To be honest, during the process of arresting the Mills family, over half of the capital’s most elite team was lost. Several of the Mills family, relying solely on their martial arts, slaughtered nearly a hundred of the Myers family. Some high-ranking officials close to me also lost their lives. Yet, we could only keep their deaths a secret.”

Jun Chester frowned, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Supreme Lord was silent for a while before speaking, “You’ve already given too much for Lordran. I didn’t want you to take care of everything personally, nor did I want any of your soldiers to be harmed.”

Jun Chester looked deeply at this old man with graying temples and softly said, “Four days from now, all will be clear. With me here, the peace of Lordran will certainly not be disturbed.”

Supreme Lord didn’t say anything more.

Just then, at the villa’s front gate, Badfella Stannard from Goodherbs suddenly rushed in clutching his chest. He had just entered the gate when he couldn’t hold back and spat out a mouthful of black blood, collapsing onto the ground.

Following Badfella Stannard was a middle-aged man who was nearly two meters tall, with a face as black as iron. The aura he emitted was extremely horrifying, giving the impression of an immovable mountain.

He was Eliott Garner of the capital’s Garner family!

Moreover, he was Ian Mills’s godbrother and Han Mills’s master.

Stepping into the villa on the hilltop, Eliott Garner looked towards the villa with piercing eyes.

Rod Smith had heard the commotion and had already run out from the guardhouse.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He glanced at the unconscious Badfella Stannard on the ground, then quickly looked at Eliott Garner.

In an instant, he was on high alert.

Eliott Garner merely glanced at Rod Smith nonchalantly and said, “Go inform Jun Chester, tell him, his uncle has arrived!”
