LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

As Reeds Hale’s voice died away, Jun Chester, Lyvia, and Hugh Garner all turned their gazes toward her. Lyvia, a simple woman with no martial arts skills, didn’t display any unexpected reaction upon seeing Reeds Hale. She merely thought that the latter was just an ordinary guest there.

However, there was one thing she was puzzled about. How could this woman know her husband’s name? Did she know her husband?

On the other hand, the way Jun Chester and Hugh Garner were looking at Reeds Hale was unusually serious. To them, Reeds Hale appeared plain and unremarkable, with no traces of a martial artist’s aura on her. Yet, it was exactly this that drew their attention. Was it normal for a woman with no trace of a cultivator’s aura to appear here?

Jun Chester scrutinized Reeds Hale for a moment before questioning, “Do you know me?”

Reeds Hale blew on the hot steam rising from her teacup, took a calm sip, and then replied, “I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

Jun Chester inquired further, “Who are you?”

Without any attempt to hide her identity, Reeds Hale responded calmly, “Thelma Hale is my adopted sister. My name is Reeds Hale. I know that it was you who cured my sister’s curse eight years ago. Oh, also, Kiki’s achievements today are all due to you.”

Jun Chester continued to stare at Reeds Hale, a flicker of confusion in his eyes. “Reeds Hale… I’ve never heard of you.”

Reeds Hale smiled. “It’s enough that I’ve heard of you.”

Looking around at the surroundings, Jun Chester asked, “This isn’t the main venue for the Medical Conference, is it?”

Reeds Hale confirmed, “Correct, this is just a tea room.” With that, she gestured at the chair beside her, inviting Jun Chester to sit. “Please, take a seat.”

Jun Chester hesitated before walking over. As Reeds Hale took a detailed look at him, she gave a slight smile. “Thelma has good taste.”

A twitch crossed Jun Chester’s face. “Thelma Hale and I are just friends.”

Reeds Hale chuckled. “I didn’t mean anything else by that.”

Jun Chester, while taking in the surroundings, said, “I didn’t come here to chat with you.”

It was then that Reeds Hale got to the point. “I came here to save you. The main hall of the Medical Conference is next door. You will die if you go there.”

Jun Chester scoffed, “Really? Then I’m even more interested.”

Reeds Hale gave it some thought before suddenly suggesting, “Join the Dragon Alliance. If you join the Dragon Alliance, you won’t die.”

Jun Chester counter-questioned, “Who wants to kill me?”

Reeds Hale answered nonchalantly, “Everyone next door wants to kill you.”

Jun Chester queried, “Why?”

Reeds Hale explained after a moment’s thought, “You possess a large number of Nanites. To the cultivation world, these are the best resources!”

A chill flashed in Jun Chester’s eyes as he scoffed, “So, in their eyes, I deserve to die?”

Reeds Hale gave Jun Chester a deep look and said softly, “Some people operate that way. And to them, it’s the rule. I know you’re strong, but the people next door, especially Pam Chester, are even stronger. Take my advice, don’t provoke them.”

Jun Chester squinted. “You’re with the Dragon Alliance. Most of the people next door are from the four major families of the Dragon Alliance. You should be in league with them.”

Reeds Hale shook her head. “I was before, but not now. As far as I know, someone wants to betray us. And they want to use an outsider like you!”

Upon saying this, Reeds Hale finally put down her teacup and turned her full attention to Jun Chester, adding, “The time for a cup of tea has passed. Whether you heed my advice or not, it’s up to you. Anyway, as Thelma’s elder sister, I’ve said what I had to say.”

Jun Chester asked with interest, “What happens if I join the Dragon Alliance, and what if I don’t?”

Reeds Hale replied, “If you join the Dragon Alliance, you become mine, and I’ll protect you. If you don’t join, you remain an outsider. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. It’s that simple.”

Jun Chester thought for a moment, then asked another question, “Between you and Pam Chester, who is stronger?”

Reeds Hale was slightly taken aback before answering seriously.

“Equally share the autumn scenery!”

Jun Chester suddenly made a request.

“How about a fight?”

Reeds Hale laughed.

“I don’t fight. If I take action, I only kill.”

Just as Jun Chester was about to say something, the large double doors to his left were suddenly pushed open.

Those who entered were Sun Chester and Moon Chester.

One in white, the other in black.

Very eye-catching indeed.

At this point, Lyvia and Hugh Garner were sitting on two chairs at the door.

Upon seeing Sun Chester and Moon Chester, both of them were slightly stunned.

Especially Hugh Garner, who immediately focused on the two swords in their hands as soon as Sun Chester and Moon Chester appeared.

Sun Chester and Moon Chester, however, did not pay attention to Hugh Garner and Lyvia, but immediately focused on Reeds Hale.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

For a moment, both were stunned, as if they had not expected Reeds Hale to be here!

The next moment, Sun Chester and Moon Chester simultaneously bowed to Reeds Hale.

In unison.

“Lady Hale!”

Reeds Hale didn’t even glance at the two of them, still looking at Jun Chester and smiling.

“Jun Chester, let’s not fight. If you are itching for a fight, you can try these siblings.”

With that, Reeds Hale suddenly took out a short sword from his sleeve and continued.

“They are both high-level sword practitioners. I can lend you my sword. Otherwise, you, unarmed, will likely lose miserably.”

Jun Chester was stunned, then laughed.

“So you mean, even if I use your sword, I won’t be able to win against them?”

Reeds Hale did not deny it.

But just then, Hugh Garner, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly disappeared from his seat.

He appeared like lightning in front of the siblings, Sun Chester and Moon Chester, raised both hands, and directly snatched their long swords.

“My sword? Damn, it disappeared for over a hundred years, didn’t expect it to be in the Dragon Alliance, I’m quite relieved!”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Hugh Garner’s sudden move left Sun Chester and Moon Chester, the siblings, in chaos.

And Reeds Hale. His face changed dramatically.

He never expected that this old man who came with Jun Chester would be so terrifyingly quick.

In the blink of an eye, he snatched the long swords from Sun Chester and Moon Chester!

You should know that even Reeds Hale might not have such terrifying strength, so who exactly is this robed old man?

Just then, Jun Chester glanced at Hugh Garner and said, “Give them back, two useless swords, what’s the use?”

Hugh Garner explained, “When I last tempered my Devil Slayer, the hilt was missing something. I’ll melt down these two swords later, refine them a bit, they will be barely usable!”

Jun Chester frowned and said, “Devil Slayer is yours, but in the future, it’s mine. I’ll temper it myself. As for these two black and white swords in your hands, they are too trashy to serve as auxiliary materials for tempering the Devil Slayer!”

Hugh Garner thought for a moment, and finally threw the black and white swords at the feet of the siblings, Sun Chester and Moon Chester, and said, “Since my apprentice has always been right, so I listen to my apprentice! I’m sorry, you two, I was rash just now!”

Who knows how Sun Chester and Moon Chester felt at this moment.

Just then, Jun Chester looked again at Reeds Hale and said, “Those two at the door, who can’t even hold their swords, are not qualified to fight with me. You come, it’s okay, you can kill me, I won’t hurt you, I’ll stop when I touch you.”
