LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Jun Chester officially turned his gaze to Patrick Garner’s face and asked lightly, “Why are you in Dirtmouth?”

Patrick Garner was slightly startled, then put away his awkward expression, walked towards Jun Chester, and laughed, “I am now the legal representative of Garner Group. Elsa Garner wants to swallow your Skyhowl, I am here to help transfer the procedures.”

Jun Chester seemed to put this matter aside and chuckled, then asked again, “What’s the situation with the Garner family now?”

Patrick Garner was stunned, and said, “They are divided into three factions.”

Jun Chester asked, “Which three factions?”

Patrick Garner looked at Jun Chester with interest and laughed, “The old lady’s faction, responsible for protecting the foundation of the old Garner family, I am part of this faction. In modern terms, we are laying low and keeping our troops still. The other two factions, Elsa Garner and Eliott Garner are the representatives. The former is a fence-sitter, aligning with whoever is stronger while developing her own power. The latter has become a dog of the Mills family! Whatever he does, he has to follow the will of the Mills family!”

At this point, Patrick Garner paused, then added, “Oh yes, headed by Elsa Garner, in the last two years, it seems that she has also been suppressed by Eliott Garner. Because the two people Elsa Garner values the most, Paul Garner and Ken Garner, have already pledged allegiance to Eliott Garner. She let the two brothers do this, presumably to wait and see how things develop!”

Jun Chester fell silent for a moment, then asked, “What about the Mills family? What’s the current situation with the Mills family?”

Patrick Garner laughed, “Haven’t the Mills family already been taken care of by you and the Supreme Lord? Ian Mills came to Dirtmouth once and hasn’t shown his face since. The Supreme Lord is truly deserving of his title. I estimate he controls all of Lordran, surely he has some tricks up his sleeve, so that’s why the Mills family has been dealt with recently.”

Jun Chester replied indifferently, “You know that’s not what I’m asking.”

Patrick Garner was slightly taken aback, feeling that after many years of not seeing him, Jun Chester seemed like a different person, his demeanor had completely changed.

However, Patrick Garner didn’t dwell on it. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself, took a puff, then said, “It is rumored that the Mills family has some issues with Mycintia, especially the old, unworldly members of the Mills family. They are all hidden in Mycintia, and they are all big shots. In recent years, they have been targeting a person together, Han Mills, who could… potentially become the next head of the Mills family! Of course, I say all this, but you probably won’t understand.”

“Han Mills again…” Jun Chester squinted his eyes, asking, “Have you ever dealt with this person?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Patrick Garner grimaced and said ruefully, “I certainly don’t have that privilege. Even his enlightenment teacher, Eliott Garner, was beaten by him and couldn’t get up, and this happened when Han Mills was just sixteen.”

Jun Chester chuckled, “This is getting more and more interesting!”

Patrick Garner sized up Jun Chester again and laughed, “Have you been in the military for too long? Why do I feel like you have some kind of official aura now! Heh, you visited the Garner family once when you were young and never went again, so you don’t understand the true depth of the Garner family. Let me tell you, Eliott Garner alone could beat several of you. I’m serious, I’m not joking with you! So, you don’t need to put on airs here with me!”

Jun Chester then asked, “Can you beat Eliott Garner?”

Patrick Garner laughed out loud, “How would you like me to answer that? Beating him is not something to be proud of, after all, he is my dear uncle…”

He continued, laughing, “Heh heh, actually, we fought once three years ago, I lost. Of course, I intentionally conceded. If it was a real fight, I could kill him.”

Jun Chester nodded, “Okay, it’s been seven years since we last met at the military, you really have made a lot of progress.”

Patrick Garner rolled his eyes, “Brother, don’t show off here. I agreed to observe the Garner family for you because of my cousin’s sake. I know you’ve had a tough time these years, earning the title of Lord Chester in the military, and establishing the Lord House and Skyhowl. So… I guess I’m just paying back my cousin’s favor by not helping Elsa Garner swallow up your Skyhowl. You better behave and not go against Elsa Garner, why do you want to lower yourself to a woman’s level? Besides, you can’t beat her!”

Jun Chester looked deeply at Patrick Garner and chuckled, “My mother told me before she died, you are a child who is both righteous and evil, but you are fundamentally not bad! You’re carefree and lack the demeanor of an adult, let me tell you, you better not help the likes of Eliott Garner and Elsa Garner destroy the Garner family.”

Patrick Garner laughed, “Jun, you really don’t need to tell me, I know all this. Anyway… take care of yourself. The day Mycintia opens its doors to recruit disciples is not far away, the first arena competition is set up in South Lordran, so there have been many hermits appearing in the surrounding areas recently. Don’t take the martial arts masters lightly just because you have a position in the military! And let me also tell you, don’t put on airs and start lecturing me here!”

At this point, Patrick Garner suddenly sighed and continued, “Oh, by the way, remember Paul Garner, who used to bully you? He got beaten up pretty bad, his whole body is fractured! And I just received news that Ken Garner was also beaten up, apparently for bullying your cousin Theresa at the airport. He was knocked down with a punch! The world is dangerous, be careful!”

Jun Chester raised an eyebrow.

He quickly thought of Bruce Wells.

The person who beat up Ken Garner was likely Bruce Wells.

Jun Chester didn’t bother explaining anything further to Patrick Garner. He chuckled and began to speak, “Fine, go about your business. Oh, and your cousin’s grave, let me move it to…”

Before Jun Chester could finish, Patrick Garner waved his hand and interjected, “You don’t need to tell me, I know. I went to pay my respects just yesterday. I brought along a pound of hot steamed buns. After all, if it weren’t for her, I would’ve starved to death on the streets back then. Ah, this is the Garner family for you. Despite being a legitimate member, they beat me up and threw me out on the streets in the middle of winter, all because I stole some money from my own father. No one cared for me. If it weren’t for you and your mother happening to pass by then, seeing me, and your mother buying me two hot steamed buns… I, a handsome young man, have now passed the twentieth anniversary of her passing.”

Jun Chester took a deep breath and said, “I don’t care to hear about those things.”

Patrick Garner made a face, glanced towards the entrance of the Westeast Tower, and asked, “That girl from earlier, the one you opened the car door for, is she your wife?”

Jun Chester ignored Patrick Garner and headed towards the Westeast Tower.

Patrick Garner was annoyed. He chased after him, cigarette in mouth, and said, “Jun Chester, out of respect for my cousin, I call you brother. Are you getting too full of yourself? I asked you if that was your wife! Let me tell you, don’t underestimate me. If I lose my temper, I’ll help Elsa Garner swallow up your Skyhowl! And I mean it!”

Jun Chester calmly replied, “You truly don’t know how dangerous the world is.”

Patrick Garner scoffed, “You know, your whole family knows. No, I’m asking you, was that your wife just now? Let me tell you, you might not see it, but she’s definitely someone special. At a glance, I could tell her meridians have been opened. I could teach her a few things, for your sake! Don’t cry when some martial arts big shot comes knocking, and you can’t beat them! If your wife knew martial arts, she could protect you!”

Jun Chester turned to look at Patrick Garner.

He was right. The current Lyvia was indeed different from before, as Jun Chester had opened her meridians while treating her.

Jun Chester chuckled, “I didn’t expect you to be quite perceptive.”

Patrick Garner was about to say more when suddenly a man’s voice rang out from behind, “Master!”

If it wasn’t Bruce Wells, then who could it be?

He had just rushed over from the airport with Theresa Hale.

Patrick Garner thought he was the one being called. He instinctively turned around and his eyes widened in surprise, “Damn! Can anyone open their meridians now? There’s another one?”

Bruce Wells glanced at Patrick Garner without paying him any mind. He continued towards Jun Chester and smiled, “Master, Miss Hale insisted on coming to Skyhowl to find you, so I brought her along.”

Following behind Bruce Wells was none other than Theresa Hale and Jane.

At this moment, Theresa Hale was staring unblinkingly at Jun Chester, while Jane was popping pills from a bag.

Seeing the two of them, especially the pill in Jane’s hand, Patrick Garner was instantly stunned. Only one phrase came to mind.

Energy Pellets!

A treasure worth billions in the martial arts world, and this young man is eating them like hawthorn balls?

Snapping back to reality, Patrick Garner immediately ran over, bowed to Jane, and asked respectfully, “I’m Patrick Garner, brother, may I ask what your master’s name is?”

Jane looked a bit puzzled as she assessed Patrick Garner. She shrugged it off and walked towards Jun Chester, opening her mouth to say, “Ababa ababa ababa!”
