LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

As the old man’s voice fell, a woman in black standing at the entrance of the battle room, like a statue, immediately took a step forward and responded, “Yes, Master!”

As she finished speaking, the woman in black turned and left.

However, the elderly man, about two meters tall and dressed in a long robe, had already walked towards a row of bookshelves in the battle room and took down an ancient book bound with thread, seemingly indifferent to others.

This old man was named Loong Chester.

He was one of the four major clans of the Dragon Alliance, the master of the Chester family.

And he was Kiki’s father.

Inside the room, apart from Loong Chester, Kiki was also present.

At this moment, Kiki was sitting on a jade chair on the side of the spot where Loong Chester had just sat, drinking tea with an expressionless face.

On the lower row of jade chairs to Kiki’s left, there was also an old man in a suit, none other than the long-absent Lordran frontier official, Ian Mills!

But at this moment, Ian Mills no longer possessed the demeanor of being second to none, instead, he was extremely cautious, sitting on the jade chair, barely daring to sit straight.

Ian Mills watched Loong Chester stand in front of the bookshelf reading, remained silent for a good while, and then cautiously stood up and walked towards Loong Chester, carefully asking, “Master, is the young master personally going to kill Jun Chester today?”

Loong Chester, upon hearing this, did not immediately respond. It was only after finishing a page of the book that he slowly opened his mouth, “Didn’t you see just now, Jun Chester, with just one kick, crippled William Garner who practiced both the Emperor Token and Nanite Energy. This boy, indeed, deserves to die at my son’s hands!”

Ian Mills drew a deep breath and said, “I know a bit of lip reading. From what I saw, the meaning in William Garner’s words suggest that Jun Chester seems to be a fellow practitioner. Could it be that Jun Chester is also practicing both the Emperor Token and Nanite Energy?”

Loong Chester chuckled, “Otherwise, why do you think you lost to Jun Chester at the Ocean Hall?”

Ian Mills gasped in shock, exclaiming “No wonder he was so terrifying!” Then he asked confusedly, “But, it’s rumored that if both Emperor Token and Nanite Energy are practiced simultaneously, no one can survive more than three years. How come Jun Chester seems perfectly fine?”

Loong Chester sneered, “Naturally, it’s because of the Nanites.”

Saying this, Loong Chester sighed deeply, continuing, “It’s a pity that after my son took the Map Stone from Jun Chester’s mother years ago, he found a Nanite Energy mine according to the graphics on it. But after mining, we only obtained some Nanite Stones. Although these can help cultivators improve their abilities, compared to the Nanites embedded in ancient cultivators’ talismans, these are practically worthless in a certain sense!”

Worthless?

Ian Mills was secretly shocked.

The Nanite Stone, which could drive the cultivation world crazy, was considered worthless in Loong Chester’s eyes?

It was simply inconceivable!

After a long while, Ian Mills managed to suppress the excitement in his heart and boldly speculated, “So, the purpose of holding this Medical Conference is ostensibly to incite infighting among the other three clans of the Dragon Alliance. In reality, it’s to lure Jun Chester to the scene, kill him, and then obtain the Nanites in his possession?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Loong Chester glanced at Ian Mills, laughed, and said, “You’ve become smarter. However, I didn’t expect Jun Chester to have so many Nanites. For my Chester family, using the Nanite Stone to provoke the other three clans, and even the various forces in the cultivation world of Lordran, is the main purpose of holding this Medical Conference. But the Nanites in Jun Chester’s hands are indeed a pleasant surprise! A few days ago, he appeared at the Spring Auction, displaying so many Nanites, and publicly discarded such valuable treasures as trash. What does this suggest?”

Ian Mills trembled slightly, “It suggests that Jun Chester has a lot more Nanites!”

Loong Chester laughed and nodded, “Exactly! Over the years, I have been deeply researching the origins of the Nanites, and have also reviewed a lot of historical materials. As a result, I’ve indeed found some clues. Hundreds of years ago, a high-ranking practitioner from Lordran took a large number of Nanites overseas, but it seems that a shipwreck occurred midway, causing the Nanites on that ship to sink into the sea! It seems now that those Nanites that sank into the sea all ended up in Jun Chester’s hands!”

Ian Mills tremblingly asked, “How many?”

Loong Chester paused for a moment, then said, “Jun Chester’s wife, Lyvia, was originally an ordinary woman, but now she has transformed, and with one slap, she shattered William Garner’s face. Unsurprisingly, this should all be due to the Nanites within the Nanites! So, how many do you think are in Jun Chester’s hands? It can’t be possible that Jun Chester, in order to make a woman successful, would use up all the Nanites in his possession, right? There’s no chance of that!”

Ian Mills, extremely excited, asked, “How many Nanites does it take to create a Lyvia?”

Loong Chester did not answer Ian Mills’s question, but instead opened a page in the book he was holding and handed it to Ian Mills, saying, “Read more of these ancient books, and you’ll know.”

In just a moment, Ian Mills had silently read the page that Loong Chester had shown him. The expression on his face twisted to the extreme, and he trembled, “Tens of thousands… tens of thousands of Nanites!”

Loong Chester squinted his eyes and said, “It might even be more! But what I can confirm is that the number of Nanites in Jun Chester’s hands will be astronomical!”

Ian Mills, extremely excited, asked, “Today, can Jun Chester die at the hands of the young master?”

Loong Chester laughed and said, “If I wasn’t sure of winning, why would I go to such lengths? It’s ridiculous that in order to rightfully kill Jun Chester, I had to make use of that trash from Barnsley, just for… a justifiable cause? Ha, such petty tricks do somewhat damage the prestige of my Chester family!”

As he said this, a cold smile appeared on Loong Chester’s face. He added, “However, for the Nanites in Jun Chester’s hands, my Chester family would do anything! There’s no shame in making money!”

Ian Mills laughed along, “Master, you’re right, making money… indeed, there’s no shame!”

No sooner had he finished his sentence, than Loong Chester suddenly raised his hand and struck down.

Slap!

A slap landed on Ian Mills’s face.

Ian Mills didn’t even flinch, his entire body suddenly stiffened, blood flowing from his seven orifices, and he fell to the ground.

His huge head, on the surface, seemed as if nothing had happened, except for the blood flowing from his seven orifices. But the skull under the skin of his face, and even the flesh and brain inside the skull, had all turned into a squashed watermelon…

On this, Loong Chester didn’t offer half an explanation, and even seemingly ignored the event, bending down to retrieve the book from Ian Mills’s hand.

Ian Mills, just like that, silently died at the hands of Loong Chester.

Immediately, Loong Chester acted as if nothing had happened, picked up his book, moved to sit next to Kiki, and asked, “I heard you’ve met Jun Chester?”

Kiki remained expressionless and replied, “Yes, I have.”

Loong Chester asked, “How does he compare to your big brother?”

Kiki paused for a moment before saying, “He’s trained his core a hundred times.”

Loong Chester scoffed, “In this world, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a cultivator who has trained their core a hundred times.”

Kiki was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m currently on my eleventh training cycle.”

Loong Chester was slightly taken aback. He reached out to grasp Kiki’s wrist, checking it over. His face suddenly turned to surprise, alternating between pale and flushed, he asked, “Did Jun Chester do this to you?”

Kiki casually shook off Loong Chester’s hand, her face gloomy, “I dolled myself up, washed my feet, wore a gauze dress, sat by the bed, looking like a vixen trying to seduce him. But he didn’t bat an eyelid!”

Upon hearing this, Loong Chester’s expression grew serious. After a long silence, he asked, “What now?”

Kiki retorted, “Do you want your son to die?”

Loong Chester frowned, “What do you mean?”

Kiki said, “The night I tried to seduce Jun Chester, the moment he left, I called Pam Chester. I asked him about his current level, he boasted, ‘Unrivalled in the world!’ I told him to spare Jun Chester for today. But in my eyes, your son, whom you brought in from the outside, is nothing more than a braggart! If he could beat Jun Chester, I’d be willing to do anything!”

Loong Chester frowned, “What do you mean?”

Kiki replied irritably, “How would I know! That bastard Jun Chester’s arrival has thrown all my plans into disarray! In his eyes, I’m now less than a prostitute!”

Loong Chester said disappointedly, “The Chester family has given you all the decent resources we have, but you can’t even handle a man. I really don’t know what use you are!”

Kiki sneered, “Then you might as well place all your bets on Pam Chester. Isn’t he just like Jun Chester? And just how many high-level cultivators have died at his hands over these years? Just because I don’t say it, doesn’t mean I don’t know!”

Loong Chester was stunned for a moment, then laughingly said, “Even if Pam Chester is capable, he’s destined to be killed in the end. Or do you think the old geezers of the Dragon Alliance are blind? If the medical conference causes turmoil in the Lordran cultivation world and the other three families all suffer deaths, injuries, or defections, our family will be punished! At that time, we can only hand over Pam Chester! He’s just a pawn for both of us! Tell me honestly, what are you really thinking!?”

Kiki looked at Loong Chester for a while, then said, “The other three families of the Dragon Alliance have many advisors. They should know that our holding this Medical Conference is for power. Let’s see what the situation with the Hale family is. To my knowledge, although Thelma Hale and I are both cultivation seeds favored by the Dragon Alliance, the Hale family has at least thirty members who are stronger than Thelma Hale!”

Loong Chester fell silent for a moment, then asked, “What if they are all killed by Jun Chester?”

Kiki squinted her eyes, then said softly, “I heard that Reeds Hale, the daughter of the Dragon Alliance chairman, has also come to this city.”

Loong Chester’s face changed dramatically, “Reeds Hale?”

Kiki nodded, “Yes, Reeds Hale.”

Loong Chester laughed, “Then I can rest assured. Your sister will be on our side. If Pam Chester succeeds, we’ll kill him. If Jun Chester proves to be the best among the crowd, you let your sister personally intervene, arranging a marriage between you and Jun Chester. If this happens, the nanites in Jun Chester’s possession, our Chester family, and your sister, will share them equally.”

Kiki chuckled coldly, “But don’t forget. After Reeds Hale, Thelma Hale, and I became sisters, Reeds Hale, as the eldest, always preferred Thelma Hale, not me.”

Loong Chester chuckled, “Thelma Hale is a fool. Other than her exceptional cultivation talents, she has no brain at all. Reeds Hale aims to be the chairman of the Dragon Alliance. He needs your genius-like intelligence, not a dimwit like Thelma Hale.”

Kiki said meaningfully, “In any case, Jun Chester… is an unknown factor.”

Loong Chester laughed heartily, “An unknown factor? He won’t be a match for Reeds Hale even if he were to cultivate his core a hundred times. Don’t worry, as long as Reeds Hale is here, everything is still within our game.”

Kiki sighed, “I hope so.”

Loong Chester couldn’t help but say, “It would be great if you and Jun Chester really become a thing. The child you will have will still be part of the Chester family. A genius of a generation! As a grandparent, I will personally teach him how to be a person.”

Kiki coldly snorted, “You’re thinking too far ahead.” Then she turned her head and glanced at the already dead Ian Mills, saying, “Also, his son, Han Mills, is another unknown factor. Otherwise, Pam wouldn’t secretly accept such a lowly-born guy like Han Mills as her true disciple! And Pam, I fear, won’t be content with the status quo.”

Loong Chester laughed, “Everything is under control!”

Kiki didn’t say anything more.

Just then, outside the combat room and around the high platform, on one of the most unassuming spectator seats, a plain-looking young man casually glanced in the direction of the combat room, a trace of contempt flashing across his lips.

This plain-looking young man was Pam Chester in disguise.

Beside Pam Chester sat a man and a woman.

The woman, a middle-aged woman, was called Elsa Garner.

The man, a young man, was called Han Mills.

At this moment, Elsa Garner and Han Mills were extremely cautious.

Elsa Garner carefully poured a cup of tea for Pam Chester and said respectfully, “Mr. Chester, your tea.”

Pam Chester glanced at Elsa Garner, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, “Ian Mills is dead.”

Elsa Garner was struck as if by lightning!

The nearby Han Mills was also astonished!

At this time, Pam Chester reached up to his ear, and on his fingertip, appeared a small black object, which seemed to be a very small eavesdropping device.

Then, Pam Chester crushed this object and continued, “Loong Chester killed him with his own hands. He can be said to have… died as he deserved!”

Elsa Garner and Han Mills fell silent for a long time, the latter suddenly said, “It’s good that he’s dead. Now, we no longer have to bow to Loong Chester during festivals.”

Pam Chester reached out and patted Han Mills on the head, saying, “From now on, you will replace your father. During the festivals, bow to Loong Chester for me, but bow to his tombstone!”

Han Mills remained silent.

Pam Chester glanced at the time on his wristwatch, somewhat impatiently saying, “Why hasn’t Jun Chester arrived yet?”

Han Mills said, “I can’t wait either. In a while, I want to kill him with my own hands!”

Pam Chester lightly laughed, “He’s a genius who has cultivated his core a hundred times. Even I can’t kill him, I can just barely… cripple him. So, what are you?”

Han Mills was shocked! His feelings, hard to calm! He was extremely astonished!

He had never expected that even Pam Chester could not kill Jun Chester and could only barely cripple Jun Chester!

Jun Chester… cultivated the core a hundred times?

How did he manage to do that?

Soon, Pam Chester didn’t say anything more, picked up his teacup again, and took a sip of the tea that Elsa Garner had poured.

It seemed in his eyes, whether it was Loong Chester, Kiki, or even Jun Chester who had cultivated his core a hundred times, none of them were a threat!

One can’t help but wonder, if Pam Chester knew that Jun Chester’s current strength was only a third of Jun Chester’s real strength, what would he think!

At this time, Jun Chester was on his way from the exhibit hall on the first floor to the underground tenth floor.
