LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

“Yes, what, you didn’t know?”

That matter-of-fact sentence from Dawson London caused Germain Hyde’s face to change drastically.

Elizabeth’s face also turned very surprised.

Unexpectedly… her elementary school classmate, had now become that man from the legends in Lordran!

Lord Chester?

Not only were Germain Hyde and Elizabeth shocked.

The parents around them were all shocked as well.

Who would have thought… a parent of an elementary school student from Fifth Avenue Elementary School, was actually the renowned Lord Chester of Lordran!

It was said that the reason why Lordran is so prosperous now, and why the tax rates in every industry have become so low, is all because of Lord Chester!

And now, they were seeing the man himself?

For a while, most of the people in the school had their eyes focused on Jun Chester.

Feeling uncomfortable with this, Jun Chester gave Dawson London a displeased look.

Dawson London’s face tightened, and he quickly said, “I… I’ll go do my homework now.”

After saying that, Dawson London quickly left.

At this time, both Germain Hyde and Elizabeth were still in shock.

Jun Chester stiffly said to Elizabeth, “Elizabeth, come with me to the school infirmary. I didn’t misread, there’s indeed a big problem with your health now.”

Elizabeth’s heart skipped a beat.

“Could it be,” she wondered, “that I really have melanoma, just as Jun Chester claimed?” The realization nearly brought Elizabeth to tears. She had just learned that she had such an extraordinary elementary school classmate, who had then informed her that she was suffering from melanoma. Subsequently, under the watchful eyes of all present, Jun Chester made his way to the school infirmary. Lyvia naturally followed him.

Elizabeth and Germain Hyde stood frozen in place for a good ten seconds before following them. Elizabeth, already frightened, frantically glanced at Germain Hyde and said with a worried face, “I… I don’t really have melanoma, do I? I heard it can be fatal!”

Although Germain Hyde was in a state of half belief, he still comforted Elizabeth, “Don’t believe what Jun Chester says, he’s never been reliable since we were kids. You believe the words of such a poor student?”

With tears in her voice, Elizabeth pleaded, “But he is now Lord Chester! How could he possibly joke about this with me?”

Annoyed, Germain Hyde retorted, “Didn’t he joke with you a lot when you were kids? Don’t scare yourself, it’s okay. By the way, our school’s doctor, Dr. White, is a seasoned physician. Let’s see what he has to say.”

As the two were talking, Jun Chester and Lyvia had already arrived at the school infirmary. Inside, an elderly doctor was studying some materials at his desk. This man was Lorraine White, a retired doctor who now served as the school doctor for Fifth Avenue Elementary.

During a previous poisoning incident at the school, it was he who first discovered it, promptly reacted, and organized the staff to send all the poisoned children to the city hospital. When Jun Chester had saved the 87 children, including Dion, Lorraine White was on the scene. To this day, Lorraine White still could not figure out how Jun Chester had managed to cure those 87 children. It was baffling!

As Lorraine White pondered this, Jun Chester and Lyvia had already approached him. Lorraine White was engrossed in the toxicology report from the city hospital when Jun Chester glanced at it and stated, “This report is inaccurate.”

Only then did Lorraine White look up at Jun Chester, first stunned, then his face filled with astonishment. “Jun Chester? The Jun Chester who saved those 87 children? Why is he here?”

As Lorraine White looked on in shock, Germain Hyde and Elizabeth entered the infirmary. Clearly, Elizabeth was familiar with Lorraine White, and her first words upon entering were directed at him. “Dr. White,” she said, “Jun Chester told me that I have melanoma. Could you check if… if I really have this terminal disease?”

To her surprise, without even looking at Elizabeth, Lorraine White suddenly grabbed Jun Chester’s hand and then, in front of Elizabeth and Germain Hyde, knelt before Jun Chester. “Mr. Chester, I must pay my respects to you!”

Everyone present, including Jun Chester, was taken aback. “What’s going on?” Jun Chester quickly helped Lorraine White to his feet, asking, “Sir, what are you doing?”

Excitedly, Lorraine White explained, “You saved the lives of 87 children, including my granddaughter. If it weren’t for your timely appearance in the emergency room, the consequences would have been unthinkable!”

In the room, apart from Lyvia, Germain Hyde and Elizabeth were dumbstruck. Moreover, because Jun Chester’s identity had just been revealed, a crowd had gathered outside the infirmary, all eager to get a closer look at Jun Chester. Upon seeing Dr. Lorraine White kneel before Jun Chester, everyone present, both inside and out, was shocked.

Aside from Lyvia, no one had imagined… The man who had previously saved the lives of eighty-seven children was actually Jun Chester! The Lord Chester from Lordran?

Just as Jun Chester was about to speak, some parents burst into the infirmary. Without exception, they were all parents of the poisoned children. Now, they all knelt on the ground.

“Thank you!”

“Thank you for saving our children, Mr. Chester!”

“Thank you, Lord Chester!”

“If it weren’t for you, our children would be gone!”

Expressions of gratitude filled the room. Many parents were so moved that they shed tears. Nowadays, isn’t every child the treasure of their family?

Jun Chester had brought these children back from the brink of death, which, to these parents, was a lifesaving grace. They viewed him as the benefactor of their entire families!

Seeing the parents kneeling before him, Jun Chester was deeply touched. His emotions were incredibly complex!

To be honest, he was undeserving of the parents’ kneeling. Once, the Venom Gang, in alliance with Maple, wreaked havoc in Lordran, even instigating a gas war a hundred years ago. The Venom Gang… were one of the main culprits!

Although Jun Chester had single-handedly annihilated the Venom Gang in the West Sea, an oversight allowed one to slip through the net – Chad Peterson!

Many years passed!

Chad Peterson came for revenge, and if it were only directed at Jun Chester, it would be easy to handle. But Chad Peterson poisoned 87 children from Fifth Avenue Elementary!

Jun Chester couldn’t help but feel responsible. He believed that it was his failure to fully eliminate the Venom Gang that led to this disaster. How could he accept the parents’ kneeling now?

But how could he explain all of this to these ordinary parents?

While Jun Chester was struggling with this, one of the parents seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly spoke.

“Gratitude is gratitude!”

“Lord Chester, you don’t need to worry about this!”

Jun Chester looked slightly startled, and turned his gaze towards the parent.

It was an ordinary middle-aged man, his face bearing the marks of hardship, wearing a cheap short-sleeved shirt. He held Jun Chester’s gaze firmly.

“My name is Aiden Roberts. I know of the Venom Gang. My grandfather died on the battlefield because of a gas bomb developed by the Venom Gang. So I know even more that it was you who single-handedly wiped out the Venom Gang!”

“Now they are rising from the ashes for revenge!”

“But it doesn’t matter, Aiden Roberts, as an old soldier of Lordran, stands with Lord Chester!”

Jun Chester stared at this middle-aged man named Aiden Roberts for a while before he slowly spoke.

“Once, someone asked me, ‘As Lord Chester, you defend the country, endure misunderstandings despite your contributions, and fight enemies. Even if you do good, you get misunderstood. So, do you feel wronged? Is it worth it for them?'”

“I am not wronged, it is worth it!”
