LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

If these words had come from someone else’s mouth, Joseph Smith would have only thought that this was an ant who didn’t know life and death and didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, spewing out arrogance. However… these words came from Jun Chester’s mouth. In an instant, Joseph Smith suddenly had the feeling of a great gust of wind blowing through his heart. His whole body shivered!

Jun Chester was fearless! These words were simply arrogant to the extreme. However, when Joseph Smith thought about the horror of Margaret Lovall… he still felt that Jun Chester’s words were a bit too conceited.

Joseph Smith wouldn’t be able to withstand a single move in front of Jun Chester, but in front of Margaret Lovall… wasn’t it the same for him? Joseph Smith shook his head with a wry smile.

“Lord Chester, if I’m not mistaken, you haven’t seen Margaret Lovall yet, have you?” Jun Chester said lightly, “I’ll see her soon.”

Joseph Smith looked at Jun Chester complexly for a while, sighed, and asked, “Do you know why Margaret Lovall left such an important thing as the Map Stone in the hands of an ant like Pam Chester back then?”

Jun Chester didn’t say anything. Joseph Smith answered his own question, “There are some secret patterns on the Map Stone that even Margaret Lovall can’t fully decipher, but Margaret Lovall has enough confidence to take back the Map Stone at any time.”

“Back then, the reason why Margaret Lovall left the Map Stone in Pam Chester’s hands was because she was certain that Pam Chester would try every means to decipher the secret patterns on the Map Stone.”

“Sure enough, Pam Chester did decipher some of the secret patterns on the Map Stone, so he was able to use that Map Stone to find the Nanite Stone vein here in this city!”

“And now, Margaret Lovall already has enough confidence to personally decipher all the secret patterns on that Map Stone, so she sent me to find Pam Chester, but unexpectedly…”

“Pam Chester said the Map Stone had fallen into your hands!”

Upon hearing this, Jun Chester sneered, “Did you know that the Map Stone originally belonged to the Garner family?”

Joseph Smith laughed out loud. “What thing in this world completely belongs to a clan or completely belongs to a person?”

Jun Chester retorted, “So what you mean is, there are no rules in this world anymore, and if you’re strong, you can just go grab whatever you want?”

Joseph Smith retorted back, “How else?”

Jun Chester smiled slightly. “Without rules, there is no circle!”

Joseph Smith sighed. “Do you want to know anything else?”

Jun Chester shook his head. “I don’t want to know anymore, because the things I want to know, you don’t know either.”

Joseph Smith took a deep breath. “In fact, I’m already over a hundred years old. There really isn’t much in this world that I don’t know.”

Jun Chester narrowed his eyes and asked, “What thing in this world can truly be unafraid of thunder and fire? For example, is there something that can be made into a piece of clothing, and then even if you throw that piece of clothing into magma, it won’t be damaged!”

Joseph Smith was slightly taken aback. “There is such a treasure in this world?”

Jun Chester shrugged. “You see, I just said that the things I want to know, you don’t know either. It really is so now, it seems.”

Having said that, Jun Chester waved his hand. “While I still have a little patience, go back to Mycintia and tell Margaret Lovall that I will come find her!”

Joseph Smith looked deeply at Jun Chester for a moment. He kowtowed again and said, “Thank you Lord Chester for not killing me!”

Jun Chester didn’t say anything more. Only then did Joseph Smith stand up, but just as he was about to leave, he turned back and asked Jun Chester, “How many times have you cultivated the Ground Core?”

Jun Chester sneered. “Ethereal Core!”

Not only Joseph Smith, all the people present also changed their expressions when they heard these two words.

Jun Chester… didn’t cultivate the Yellow Core, didn’t cultivate the Luminescence Core, didn’t cultivate the Ground Core, but cultivated the Ethereal Core? No wonder! No wonder he was able to severely injure Joseph Smith with a slash from thousands of miles away just now!

Joseph Smith’s voice trembled and asked, “How many times?”

Jun Chester replied, “Once.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Joseph Smith asked again, “Succeeded? Is it substantive, or…”

Before Joseph Smith could finish asking, Jun Chester smiled faintly. “Substantive.”

Joseph Smith gasped. The way he looked at Jun Chester was full of disbelief. “Thirty years old?”

Jun Chester chuckled lightly. “Twenty-eight.”

Joseph Smith was so shocked that he was completely dumbfounded. After a long time, he spoke up, “Even Margaret Lovall didn’t form her Ethereal Core until she was nearly sixty years old!”

“You… you are twice as fast as her!”

Jun Chester frowned slightly. “Margaret Lovall also tempered her body by cultivating the Ethereal Core?”

Joseph Smith nodded. “That’s right.”

Jun Chester’s expression suddenly became heavier. He really didn’t expect that there would be other high-level cultivators like himself in this world who had succeeded in cultivating the Ethereal Core!

Jun Chester asked, “How old is Margaret Lovall?”

Joseph Smith shook his head. “I dare not ask!”

Jun Chester’s expression became even heavier. Joseph Smith… was already over a hundred years old. Yet he was Margaret Lovall’s adopted son. Then wouldn’t Margaret Lovall’s real age be at least a hundred and twenty or thirty years old?

There was one more thing. He had heard before that his mother was as famous as Margaret Lovall, so how old exactly was his mother?

It was at this moment that Hugh Garner, who was standing not far away, seemed to see through Jun Chester’s doubts with one glance. He slowly opened his mouth, “Being equally famous does not mean having similar ages!”

“Who said Cecelia Garner is a peer of Margaret Lovall?”

Jun Chester frowned and looked at Hugh Garner. He asked, “You know?”

Hugh Garner glanced at Joseph Smith and said lightly, “Let him leave first.”

Before this sentence fell, without Jun Chester turning to look at Joseph Smith, Joseph Smith had already waved his hand to summon his sword. He rode away on his sword! His bearing was truly like an immortal sword cultivator of the mortal realm!

Hugh Garner gazed at the direction Joseph Smith had disappeared into and sighed, “Jun, you shouldn’t have let him leave.”

“You shouldn’t have revealed your true strength in front of him!”

Jun Chester retorted, “Who told you I was telling the truth about Joseph Smith?”

Hugh Garner’s expression changed. Shocked. “You didn’t cultivate the Ethereal Core once?”

Jun Chester flicked his hand. The Map Stone fell into his palm. He smiled faintly, “With this in hand, once is enough, twice or thrice is also enough, ten times or a hundred times is even more so!”

“Until the day comes when I can no longer conceal my eyes!”

After saying this, Jun Chester raised his face and looked up at the sky. The rain had stopped. It was unknown whether it had anything to do with Jun Chester. But this scene looked like a miracle in the eyes of Hugh Garner and the others!

But before they could think deeply, Jun Chester had already turned to look at Hugh Garner. He smiled and said, “Can you say what you should say now?”

Hugh Garner pondered for a moment, pointed at the villa north of the manor, and said, “Let’s talk inside.”

The old and the young came to a room on the second floor of the villa. Hugh Garner stood by the window with his back to Jun Chester. He asked, “What do you want to ask?”

Jun Chester thought for a moment and asked, “How much do you know about Margaret Lovall?”

Hugh Garner replied, “I don’t know where she came from. By the time I knew her, she was already the abbess of Pinkriver Temple. I should have been an adult when she was already grown up!”

Jun Chester’s mind was slightly shaken. It must be known that Hugh Garner was already a hundred and fifty years old. When he became aware, Margaret Lovall was already grown up? What kind of concept was this? Could there really be an art of eternal youth in this world?

Although Hugh Garner had his back to Jun Chester, he seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. “There is indeed an art of eternal youth, the Emperor Token can achieve this. Some secret methods in the Mycintia martial arts can also achieve this. Joseph Smith is a living example! But the art of longevity… one hundred and eighty years is the known limit for humans, any more than that, there is none!”

Jun Chester looked up and down at Hugh Garner in puzzlement, and couldn’t help but ask, “In principle, you shouldn’t be so familiar with the people of Pinkriver Temple… but now it seems, why…”

Before Jun Chester could finish asking, Hugh Garner interrupted, “Are you trying to say my martial strength is too weak, and I don’t have the qualifications to know about Pinkriver Temple?”

Jun Chester did not deny it.

Hugh Garner sighed and said hoarsely, “There was an emperor from my Garner family’s ancestors. You know this. But do you know what kind of ancient country the emperor from my Garner family established?”

Jun Chester glanced at the Map Stone in his hand and softly replied, “Kairh.”

Hugh Garner was shocked when he heard these two words. He suddenly turned around. His face was full of astonishment. “How did you know?”

Jun Chester shook the Map Stone in his hand. “These so-called secret patterns on it are Kairh.”

Jun Chester then added, “One of the benefits of working in the military is that you can freely access all the historical records from before Lordran.”

Hugh Garner stared at the Map Stone, his voice trembling. “So you mean you’ve figured out all the Kairh on this Map Stone?”

Jun Chester nodded, then shook his head. “More than half, not all of it.”

Hugh Garner carefully asked, “What content is written on it?”

Jun Chester laughed. “Didn’t I just ask you questions earlier?”

Hugh Garner was dissatisfied. “Didn’t I just tell you Margaret Lovall’s exact age? That’s what you wanted to know, right?”

Jun Chester shook his head. “Not just that.”

Hugh Garner looked defeated. He looked at Jun Chester for a good while before saying, “Come back with me to the capital and go to a place. You’ll understand everything when we get there.”

Jun Chester was puzzled. “What place?”

Hugh Garner hesitated, then impatiently said, “When your mother ran away from home at the age of ten, she actually hadn’t even left the capital city. She was later able to qualify to study at Pinkriver Temple entirely because of the recommendation letter from the place I just mentioned!”

Upon hearing this, Jun Chester’s mind was full of questions. “What kind of place is it exactly?”

Hugh Garner said four words. “Garner Stonehouse!”

Jun Chester narrowed his eyes and blurted out, “Garner Stonehouse is in the capital?”

Hugh Garner sneered. “Do you think the dragon veins of the capital that our old Garner family ancestors found would be anywhere else?”

Having said that, Hugh Garner seemed to have thought of something else. He smiled at Jun Chester and asked, “Didn’t you want to know if there is anything in this world that can not only be made into clothing, but can also truly be immune to thunder and fire? Come back with me to the capital, and you’ll understand everything then!”

Seeing that Hugh Garner was still speaking in riddles with him, Jun Chester was quite annoyed. “How many more secrets are you still hiding in your heart, old man?”
