LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Jun Chester turned his head, who else could be speaking but Elise Garner?

Elise Garner looked at Jun Chester with a sarcastic gaze, adding, “Jun Chester, do you know there’s a saying? When the heavens go mad, it means rain; when a man goes mad… disaster follows!”

Jun Chester didn’t even bother to respond to Elise Garner, instead turning to Palmer Mills in front of him, smiling as he said, “I wasn’t joking earlier.”

Seeing Jun Chester’s arrogance, Elise Garner gritted her teeth and said to Palmer Mills, “Agree with him, isn’t it just shaking his hand? Even better, crush his hand!”

Palmer Mills glanced at Elise Garner and said, “It doesn’t seem like it’s your place to speak here.”

Elise Garner was taken aback.

She hadn’t expected Palmer Mills to disregard her dignity so openly in front of Elsa Garner.

But considering Palmer Mills’ strength…

Elise Garner didn’t even dare to get angry.

Palmer Mills again focused his gaze on Elise Garner’s face, as if waiting for Elsa Garner’s response.

At this time, Theresa Hale and Patrick Garner had of course also followed, and both had heard Jun Chester’s “wild words”. They were both thinking, has Jun Chester gone mad? Daring to challenge Palmer Mills!

Especially Theresa Hale, hearing that Jun Chester had promised Skyhowl to Elsa Garner, she felt utter despair.

Perhaps, Jun Chester could really spar with Palmer Mills for a dozen rounds or so, this was not impossible, after all, Theresa Hale had not really seen Jun Chester’s strength, but she had seen the strength of his apprentice Bruce Wells.

The apprentice was so strong, what more the master?

But who was Jun Chester facing now?

The whetstone Han Mills had used from childhood, Palmer Mills!

What did Jun Chester just say?

Let Palmer Mills shake his hand, and if Palmer Mills could break free from his grip, he would transfer Skyhowl and his properties, even his powers, all to Elsa Garner?

This was clearly a giveaway!

But now, under the public gaze, what could Theresa Hale do?

To thickly say to Elsa Garner and Palmer Mills, don’t stoop to Jun Chester’s level, he’s a fool, he’s just joking?

Impossible!

The words were already out of Jun Chester’s mouth, Theresa Hale couldn’t publicly deny Jun Chester’s dignity, could she?

Theresa Hale gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, “Skyhowl, a huge enterprise, isn’t something that can be transferred to someone else just by saying it. Is this a child’s play? Well, there’s no evidence for verbal claims, and I’m the legal person of Skyhowl, I can just deny it later!”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, as Theresa Hale was thinking this, Elsa Garner squinted at Jun Chester and asked with a smile, “If I heard correctly, you just made a betting agreement with Palmer Mills, right?”

Jun Chester shrugged and said, “You could think of it that way.”

Elsa Garner was delighted inside and said, “Empty words are not convincing!”

Jun Chester laughed, “You’re thinking too small. When have I ever spoken empty words?”

A chill flashed in Elsa Garner’s eyes, she nodded and said, “Good, it’s getting more and more interesting. Then let’s do as you said. If you lose, Skyhowl, and all your assets under the name of Jun Chester, will belong to me, Elsa Garner. Of course, that includes your Lord House!”

Jun Chester shrugged his shoulders and asked, “Does your word hold sway? Palmer Mills just said that in this lifetime, he only listens to Han Mills.”

Elsa Garner, always one for shocking statements, retorted, “Han Mills is the flesh of my body. Do you think my words carry weight in front of my son’s servant?”

The crowd was stunned at her words. Han Mills was Elsa Garner’s son? Jun Chester furrowed his brow while Theresa Hale and Patrick Garner were utterly gobsmacked. No one had expected that Han Mills was Elsa Garner’s son! So, were the rumors circulating in the upper circles of the capital all baseless speculation? Did Elsa Garner and Ian Mills, the Lordran’s territorial official, have an affair?

Ignoring everyone else, Elsa Garner kept her gaze on Jun Chester and said with a faint smile, “Real powers always face a lot of rumors and gossip. I’ve heard some say that Han Mills and I are lovers. Huh, they all deserve to die!”

Jun Chester responded, “This is indeed a surprise to me.”

Elsa Garner coldly retorted, “If my son were here, he wouldn’t waste his time talking to you. For your disrespect towards me alone, he could squash you! Of course, if I gave the word, Palmer Mills could do the same! But considering your mother Iris had some connections with me in the past, I might spare you!”

Silence fell over the crowd. Unbeknownst to them, atop the Westeast Tower, a woman in a black robe was looking down at everything happening below. Her age was indiscernible, her temples were frosted with age, yet her veiled face was as smooth as a baby’s skin. However, her narrow eyes were filled with an age-old weariness, making her a peculiar figure. Her gaze was focused on Jun Chester; seemingly indifferent, but within that indifference, a vague, indescribable emotion stirred.

Jun Chester, sensing someone watching him, glanced up at the top of the Westeast Tower, but found no one. Yet, he was certain someone was there. Could it be one of Elsa Garner’s allies?

As Jun Chester was lost in thought, Elsa Garner lightly laughed, “What’s the matter, are you scared?”

Jun Chester snorted, “The word ‘fear’ isn’t in my dictionary.”

Elsa Garner turned to Palmer Mills and said with a smile, “Let’s get started then. It’s just a handshake, what’s there to it?”

Upon receiving Elsa Garner’s permission, Palmer Mills casually finished his cigarette and formally turned to Jun Chester. Exhaling a puff of smoke, he extended his hand and said, “Come on.”

As he did so, his aura surged. The air seemed to distort around him, giving a surreal sensation like heatwaves under a lens. His red hair began to flutter independently of the wind, and his presence far exceeded anyone’s imagination, making him seem like… a god!

Jun Chester, however, didn’t rush to shake Palmer Mills’ hand. Instead, he turned to Elsa Garner and added, “Since it’s a bet, I’m wagering Skyhowl and the Lord House on my side. Shouldn’t you put something on the line, too?”

Elsa Garner’s expression slightly changed. She hadn’t expected Jun Chester to make such a demand at this crucial moment, especially ignoring the aura displayed by Palmer Mills. Even Palmer Mills himself was somewhat surprised. Regardless of Jun Chester’s combat strength, the composure he displayed was extraordinary.

Originally, Palmer Mills had only exerted 70% of his strength. Seeing Jun Chester’s calm demeanor, his aura suddenly intensified, displaying 100% of his power, causing a thunderous blast to echo in the surrounding air.

The sound pierced the ears of everyone present. Apart from Jun Chester, everyone’s expression tightened. Even Elsa Garner didn’t expect that Palmer Mills was this formidable!

Seeing Elsa Garner didn’t answer, Jun Chester reminded her, “I’m talking to you.”

Elsa Garner’s face was full of arrogance as she laughed and said, “Since you are so reckless, I’ll indulge you. If you win, the Garner Group is yours. But if you lose, what I want is not just Skyhowl and the Lord House, but also… your life!”

Jun Chester shook his head and said, “That’s not a fair deal.”

Elsa Garner said, “I think you’re just scared.”

Jun Chester’s next words left Elsa Garner dumbstruck.

“How about this, if I win, the Garner Group is mine. Also, you can tell Han Mills that I want this kid, Palmer Mills. Lately, I’ve been bothered by a matter. My favorite disciple needs a sparring partner!”

Saying this, Jun Chester turned to Palmer Mills and grasped his hand. It seemed casual, but the moment Jun Chester gripped Palmer Mills’ hand, the ground beneath his feet shattered like a spider web.

At that moment, Palmer Mills’ face changed. But before he could pull his hand back, he felt a surge of intense energy flow from his palm throughout his body, especially in his lungs. It felt as if they were going to explode, burning hot one moment and icy cold the next.

This caused Palmer Mills’ complexion to change again. His originally rosy skin turned pale as if he was standing in a freezing hell, and every pore on his body exuded a mist-like cold air!

Jun Chester looked at Palmer Mills and said with a smile, “All these years serving as Han Mills’ sharpening stone, you have quite a few old ailments. The special cigarettes in your pocket can only relieve the pain, but they have no effect on your old ailments. Fortunately, you met me. Also, I appreciate your attitude towards others. It’s different from those who only know how to jump and shout like fleas.”

As his words fell, Palmer Mills spewed a mouthful of blood.

Jun Chester quickly stepped aside, resulting in a large mouthful of blood spraying directly onto Elsa Garner and Elise Garner’s faces.
