LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Chapter 178: Eloise Hawson! Life Hanging by a Thread!



Eloise Hawson was staring at Jun Chester with such intensity, as if she wished to swallow him whole. Taking a deep breath… she leapt from the rafters to the ground.

As for the three burly men in black who had come with her, they all stood about twenty meters from Jun Chester. They dared not move a muscle. Without exception, they were all on high alert!

Jun Chester glanced at Eloise Hawson, then at Phoenix Myers. He asked Phoenix Myers, “What is your relationship with this Eloise Hawson?”

Phoenix Myers hesitated for a moment, then replied, “She’s a debt left from my dad’s youthful indiscretions!”

Eloise Hawson retorted resentfully, “You are the debt left by James Myers’ indiscretions!”

Jun Chester frowned slightly.

Eloise Hawson still didn’t know the relationship between Jun Chester and Phoenix Myers. Seeing Jun Chester’s displeasure, she opened her mouth to reply, but in the end, she didn’t continue to argue with Phoenix Myers.

Next, Eloise Hawson’s glance fell on Carl Chambers, who was beaten to the point of unconsciousness on the ground. Her mind was in chaos, completely unsure of what to do next.

Should she follow Carl Chambers’ earlier plan and continue to negotiate with this scoundrel, or should she follow Carl Chambers’ second plan and lure this scoundrel into the treasure house, letting him fall into the lava trap that Carl Chambers had set up long ago?

As Eloise Hawson was thinking this, Jun Chester looked at her and asked, “Carl Chambers just said that he had something to discuss with me. Do you know what it is?”

Eloise Hawson hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Carl Chambers and said, “He has some fake Nanites… Our intention is to use these fake Nanites to swap out the items on the people outside, and after succeeding, share the spoils equally!”

Jun Chester’s expression became strange, and he asked, “Whose idea was this?”

Eloise Hawson thought for a moment, then said, “Of course it’s my idea. Carl Chambers doesn’t have such brains!”

Jun Chester scornfully said, “You really know how to flatter yourself!”

Eloise Hawson was taken aback.

Jun Chester squinted his eyes and said, “It’s a good plan, but you did threaten to band together with those good-for-nothings outside to kill me. Under such circumstances, how can I cooperate with you?”

Eloise Hawson gritted her teeth and said, “What do you want?”

Jun Chester paused for a moment, then instructed Phoenix Myers who was standing at his side, “Carl Chambers should have some Energy Pellets on him. Search him.”

Phoenix Myers looked confused, not understanding why Jun Chester would do this, but he ultimately followed Jun Chester’s instructions and retrieved a small bag from Carl Chambers. The bag contained Energy Pellets.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Jun Chester took the bag, pulled out one pellet, and said to Eloise Hawson, “Eat it.”

Eloise Hawson was immediately panicked.

Jun Chester said mockingly, “Carl Chambers once said that his Energy Pellets are much better than mine. Well, eat it up, I won’t harm you!”

Eloise Hawson was even more panicked and blurted out, “Carl Chambers’ Energy Pellets are poisonous!”

Jun Chester smiled and said, “That’s why I asked you to eat it. Don’t worry, although this pellet is poisonous, I can provide the antidote. Eat it first, and then we can discuss cooperation… or should I feed you?”

Eloise Hawson gritted her teeth, suddenly took the Energy Pellet from Jun Chester’s hand, and swallowed it.

Phoenix Myers couldn’t help but ask, “Why are Carl Chambers’ Energy Pellets poisonous?”

Jun Chester replied, “It’s the same principle as the forbidden drug from Cinder Chapel. If you take it and don’t get the antidote within three months, you’ll suffer a backlash. By then, you’ll wish you were dead!”

Phoenix Myers was dumbfounded.

Eloise Hawson stared at Jun Chester and said, “I didn’t expect you to see through this. Who exactly are you?”

Jun Chester smiled, quickly returning to his original appearance.

Seeing Jun Chester’s true face, Eloise Hawson was shocked and demanded, “Who are you really?”

Jun Chester smiled lightly and said, “My name is Jun Chester.”

The moment these words were uttered, Eloise Hawson was struck like a bolt of lightning. She turned pale with shock and exclaimed, “Impossible! How could you be Jun Chester? Jun Chester is just a common person in the mundane world…”

As she spoke, Eloise Hawson suddenly realized something. She turned her gaze towards Phoenix Myers, her eyes wide with realization. “No wonder! No wonder you stood up for this brat just now! So you two… I see! I see!”

Jun Chester coldly stared at Eloise Hawson and said in an icy tone, “Who are you calling a brat?”

Eloise Hawson fell silent instantly. The look she gave Jun Chester was full of incredulity.

The three black-clad men in the room were similarly taken aback. They never expected that today’s uninvited guest was none other than the widely rumored Lord Chester!

A commoner with such terrifying power!

How did he manage to do that?

Jun Chester glanced at the three men, who were all standing agape. With a flick of his wrist, he shot three poisonous Energy Pellets into their mouths.

The three black-clad men, without exception, involuntarily swallowed the poisonous Energy Pellets.

Eloise Hawson was so shocked she couldn’t speak. The three black-clad men she brought with her, all being super cultivators carefully trained by Mycintia, were effortlessly made to swallow poison pills by Jun Chester from a distance of twenty meters.

Just how terrifying was Jun Chester’s power?

At this point, Jun Chester’s gaze fell again on Eloise Hawson. In a cold voice, he said, “If it weren’t for your connection with James Myers, given my temper, you and Carl Chambers would share the same fate!”

Eloise Hawson opened her mouth and shivered.

Jun Chester turned around, pointed at the treasure pavilion, and ordered, “Collect all the items in the treasure pavilion into a box. It’s time to wrap up today’s business.”

Eloise Hawson gasped in fear and stood still in place, not daring to move. The reason was simple. Under the treasure pavilion was a lava trap.

Who knew if Jun Chester was already aware of this? If he was, wouldn’t she be killed if she went to fetch the items from the pavilion?

Jun Chester chuckled, “If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t resort to such lowly tricks.”

Eloise Hawson was dumbfounded again.

So, Jun Chester did know after all.

No wonder he had killed Carl Chambers without a second thought!

With this in mind, Eloise Hawson didn’t say another word and fearfully walked towards the treasure pavilion.

However, just as Eloise Hawson stepped into the treasure pavilion and took the fourth step, a stone slab under her foot suddenly sank!

Boom!

In an instant, the entire floor of the treasure pavilion seemed to collapse and fell downward.

Eloise Hawson lost her footing and fell straight down.

Ah!

Eloise Hawson screamed!

Her body was falling rapidly, and beneath her was a chasm hundreds of meters deep.

At the bottom of the chasm was a sea of red-hot magma and molten iron.

Eloise Hawson only took one glance downwards and felt utter despair!

She never expected that beneath the Lake Chronicle was a pool of lava like this!

And she was going to die here today.

But at this critical moment, Eloise Hawson suddenly felt a large hand grabbing her waist.

She turned her head and saw none other than Jun Chester.
