LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

This scene, in Rod Smith’s eyes, was beyond description.

Shock!

He was shocked to the extreme!

How could a person be so terrifying? Flying on a log?

Rod Smith was staring blankly at the suddenly appearing Leif Thompson, completely dumbfounded.

And just at this moment, Leif Thompson finally turned his gaze to Rod Smith. Seeing his gatekeeper’s demeanor, he was slightly taken aback and asked with a frown, “Are you… Rod Smith?”

Rod Smith was surprised and asked, “Who are you? Do… do you know me?”

Leif Thompson didn’t answer Rod Smith’s question. Instead, he sneered and said, “I never thought that the so-called top-tier practitioner would stoop to becoming a gatekeeper. This is… quite surprising to me!”

Only then did Rod Smith realize that the visitor meant trouble. He asked warily, “Who exactly are you? What do you want?”

Leif Thompson laughed, “You’re not worthy of knowing my name.” As the words fell, Leif Thompson vanished abruptly, only to appear in front of Rod Smith.

The next moment, Rod Smith widened his eyes. Almost reflexively, he retreated, but… it was too late! Leif Thompson struck out a punch, landing directly in the center of Rod Smith’s chest.

Boom! The punch sent Rod Smith flying backward, crashing into the wall behind him. The wall crumbled instantly. Rod Smith, without pause, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Splatter! The crimson liquid sprayed everywhere. Rod Smith only felt as if his internal organs had been shattered. The intense pain nearly made him faint on the spot. Thankfully, Rod Smith was no ordinary high-level practitioner, and he quickly gathered his energy to stand.

In an instant, Rod Smith’s aura was as vibrant as a rainbow. Even so, he could not hide the shock and disbelief on his face. Who was this sudden old man? A single punch could injure his internal organs?

Seeing that Rod Smith still had the ability to fight back, Leif Thompson chuckled, advanced a step, and, like a ghost, appeared again in front of Rod Smith.

Boom! Another heavy punch! This time, he used the back of his fist, striking Rod Smith. In an instant, Rod Smith was sent flying again, but this time not backward but to his right, towards the mansion at the top of the hill. By the time he landed, Leif Thompson had already disappeared from his original spot and reappeared next to Rod Smith.

A thick flow of blood gushed from Rod Smith’s mouth. The blood even carried some flesh with it. Clearly, this second punch from Leif Thompson could have taken his life! Moreover, this was purely one-sided abuse! As strong as Rod Smith was, in front of Leif Thompson, he was utterly defenseless, like a straw man.

Rod Smith stared at Leif Thompson as if he was unwilling to close his eyes even in death, and with all the strength he had left, said one sentence, “Who… who are you?”

A warm smile appeared on Leif Thompson’s face as he slowly replied, “Leif Thompson.”

A look of bewilderment flashed in Rod Smith’s eyes. Leif Thompson… who was he? When did such a formidable figure appear in the cultivation world?

At this moment, Landon Fuller, who arrived at the Hill Grandsilk mansion last night, suddenly ran out of the mansion. The moment he saw Leif Thompson, his face was filled with surprise.

Landon Fuller was a disciple of Barnsley. Leif Thompson’s “grandson” Ken Thompson, was also a disciple of Barnsley! So naturally, Landon Fuller had met Leif Thompson before. He had even visited Leif Thompson in the city with Arthur Goyle. However, what he hadn’t expected was how terrifying Leif Thompson was.

He had arrived at Hill Grandsilk and without a word, severely wounded Rod Smith. Quickly, Landon Fuller realized that Leif Thompson’s arrival must be related to the incident that happened at the Thompson family’s meeting hall yesterday. Ken Thompson had been publicly disabled by Jun Chester. Leif Thompson must have come to take revenge on Jun Chester!

At the same time, people from another mansion next to the hilltop mansion heard the commotion and came out. It was Jun Chester’s current neighbor… the Riordan Wells family.

Bruce Wells and Rod Smith had not known each other for long, but they felt a bond of friendship. Seeing Rod Smith in such a state, Bruce Wells’s aura instantly turned furious.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Immediately, without saying a word, Bruce Wells rushed to Leif Thompson’s side. His aura was magnificent! However, the moment Bruce Wells’s fist landed on Leif Thompson… Leif Thompson simply raised his hand and caught Bruce Wells’s fist!

Then, the casually standing Leif Thompson, seemingly using only thirty percent of his strength, turned Bruce Wells’s fist into a meatball!

“Ah!” Bruce Wells let out a sudden scream. Leif Thompson responded with a backhand slap to Bruce Wells’s face.

Smack! Bruce Wells was sent flying, landing dozens of meters away!

Boom!

The moment he hit the ground, Bruce Wells felt as if his head had been struck by a car. His vision blackened, and he fainted immediately.

“Bruce!”

Bruce Wells’s mother saw that her son had been knocked unconscious, half his face caved in. She screamed out loud and quickly ran towards him. Riordan Wells, however, stood still.

He watched Leif Thompson with an extreme calm, his voice frosty, “Mr. Thompson, what are you doing?”

Leif Thompson glanced at Riordan Wells and laughed, “Oh, it’s you, Riordan. I did not expect that you’ve become Jun Chester’s neighbor and your son has become Jun Chester’s apprentice!”

Riordan Wells did indeed know Leif Thompson.

But in Riordan Wells’s perception, Leif Thompson was merely the head of the Thompson family. Like himself, he was a businessman.

However, it seemed that Leif Thompson was not just a businessman! He was a practitioner, and even a heavy hitter within the cultivation community! Otherwise, why would Rod Smith and his son, Bruce Wells, be so vulnerable in front of him?

Realizing this, Riordan Wells forced himself to maintain his composure. He took a deep breath, his voice slightly trembling, “So, you came looking for Jun Chester?”

Leif Thompson shook his head with a laugh, “You’re wrong. I didn’t come for Jun Chester. That guy is already dead. I had him killed!”

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent. Dead silent.

Riordan Wells’s face was filled with disbelief. Jun Chester was dead? How could that be? Just half an hour ago, he had seen Jun Chester leave from his own balcony. In such a short time, how could Jun Chester be dead?

Not only did Riordan Wells not believe it, everyone present couldn’t believe it. The only exception was Rod Smith, who had been severely injured by Leif Thompson and was near death. He began to doubt.

There was good reason for his doubt! Just now, Rod Smith had witnessed the terrifying power of Leif Thompson. One man with a massive log, suddenly appearing here! This terrifying act showed just how powerful Leif Thompson was. Rod Smith had lived to a ripe old age and had never seen such a terrifying warrior.

With this in mind, Rod Smith’s face turned ashen.

Not far away, Landon Fuller, who had not moved, also looked as if he had seen a ghost. His newly accepted master… was killed by Leif Thompson?

“Jun Chester hurt my grandson yesterday, so he brought this on himself,” Leif Thompson spoke again. “I came here to eradicate him root and branch! Of course, before that, I must see Lyvia. My grandson Ken Thompson has been infatuated with that girl for many years. Today, I want to see what makes Lyvia so attractive to him.”

As he said this, Leif Thompson stepped on the chest of the grounded Rod Smith and asked, “So, where is the lady of the house?”

With that, Rod Smith spewed out another mouthful of blood. His eyes bulged out like copper bells. He believed… Jun Chester had indeed been killed by Leif Thompson!

For a moment, Rod Smith’s face unexpectedly revealed a smile, as if he had a sudden burst of vigor.

Leif Thompson frowned, “Why are you smiling?”

Rod Smith said, “Nothing, just reflecting on things before I die.”

Leif Thompson laughed, “Reflecting on what?”

Rod Smith said word by word, “This… is the martial world.”

Leif Thompson roared with laughter. “Yes, this is the martial world, where the weak are prey to the strong! No matter how high-profile Jun Chester was in his life, he couldn’t escape death when he crossed paths with me! It’s a pity that I didn’t kill him myself. That’s a regret of my life!”

Who would have thought, just as these words fell, a flash of white light suddenly shot towards Leif Thompson.

It was Landon Fuller who had suddenly moved.
