LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

However, Phoenix Myers couldn’t say it in the end. It wasn’t that she didn’t have the courage, but just as she was about to speak, her father came out of the Commercial Tower. The old man was smoking and looked troubled. Jun Chester looked at the old man and asked, “What’s the matter?”

After approaching, the old man glanced at the unconscious David Chester on the ground and asked in a deep voice, “Did he say anything?” Jun Chester nodded, “He did.” The old man was about to say something, but suddenly turned his head to look at Phoenix Myers, “You go back first. I have something to discuss with Lord Chester.”

Phoenix Myers’ face immediately darkened, “I am your daughter, and also…” Before she could finish, the old man interrupted her in an unquestionable tone, “I told you to go back!” Phoenix Myers felt wronged. Jun Chester spoke up, “Let her stay here. I heard she’s been getting close to the Mills family’s daughter. She should learn how to choose friends today!”

Phoenix Myers didn’t understand why Jun Chester would say that. The old man’s expression became extremely serious after hearing Jun Chester’s words, “Are you saying that it was the Mills family who betrayed you back then?” Jun Chester didn’t deny it and pointed at the Commercial Tower, “Let’s go inside and talk.”

The old man’s face changed several times as they entered the tower. After a while, the three of them arrived at an office on the first floor of the Commercial Tower. When the old man heard the name Ian Mills, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table, furious. “Ian Mills! How dare that old bastard!”

Jun Chester calmly reassured them, “Calm down. We cannot convict Ian Mills just based on what David Chester said!”

“If Ian Mills has truly submitted to Cinder Chapel, it means that he has been in close contact with the surrounding countries all these years!”

“We still need to further confirm this matter!”

The elder anxiously asked, “How can we confirm it?”

Jun Chester smiled faintly, “The people in the Negative Thirteenth Floor still think I’m Cinder Chapel’s Blood Demon!”

“In three days, I will personally question them.”

The elder furrowed his brow, “Why three days later? Why not now?”

“In any case, everything has been settled, and we have nothing to worry about!”

Jun Chester patted the elder’s shoulder, “You’re too impatient.”

“Let’s starve them for three days first.”

“A hungry beast is easier to tame!”

“Moreover, in the next three days, I will have my people closely monitor the Mills family!”

“I want to see what Ian Mills will do first. After all, with the leaders of the sixty countries collectively appearing in Dirtmouth, if he feels guilty, he cannot stay still!”

“Seven years have passed. If Ian Mills truly harbors rebellious intentions, the information he has collected in Lordran and the wealth he has amassed over the years will be an unimaginable amount.”

“It’s easy to kill him, but what about the tails behind him?”

After listening to Jun Chester’s words, the elder couldn’t help but gasp.

As a minister of Lordran, if Ian Mills were to betray the country…

Lordran would face disastrous consequences in various aspects.

At this time, startling the snake in the grass was not a wise move.

However…

Thinking about the martial arts tournament being unable to proceed as planned, and the leaders of the sixty countries trapped on the Negative Thirteenth Floor of the Commercial Tower, the elder became troubled.

“Now, the whole world is watching this city!”

“If the martial arts tournament cannot proceed smoothly, and the ministers cannot contact their leaders, it could lead to uncontrollable events!”

Jun Chester remained cold and detached, “These years, the alliance has been quite busy in Lordran, hoping for internal strife in our country!”

“If they fall into chaos just because they can’t see the news about their country’s leaders, what does it have to do with Lordran?”

“Anyway, it’s all Cinder Chapel’s doing!”

“If Cinder Chapel can’t stand the pressure anymore and sends their people here, we’ll send their corpses back!”

At this moment, the elder couldn’t even meet Jun Chester’s gaze.

Only today did he personally experience what a commander needs!

Phoenix Myers had even stopped breathing.

Even though she only heard about two things, it was enough for her to understand everything.

Ian Mills!

He had betrayed Jun Chester!

Subconsciously, Phoenix Myers swallowed her saliva, standing to one side, not daring to say another word.

And now, she realized how ridiculous she had been.

Every matter her father and Jun Chester discussed was Lordran’s top secret.

But just a moment ago, she was actually thinking about…

How she should confess her feelings to Jun Chester!

What was wrong with her?

Did her brain stop working when she saw Jun Chester?

Was this even important?

But as Phoenix Myers thought like this, the elder coldly looked at her.

“Starting today, you must sever all ties with the people of the Mills family. How could I have such a blind daughter?”

“You even claimed that the Mills family’s girl is your best friend!”

“Embarrassing!”

Phoenix Myers, chided by the elder, suddenly lost her composure, resentment rising from her heart.

Coldly retorting, “After giving birth to me, have you ever cared about me?”

“Now that something has happened, you blame me!”

“Ian Mills used to go to the same school as you, why don’t you mention that?”

“Who was it that drank and chatted like close brothers with Ian Mills?”

“I tell you, as the Supreme Lord of Lordran, you have the right to tell me what to do, but as a father, you have no right to lecture me for even half a sentence!”

The elder was almost furious.

If she only talked to him like this at home, it would be fine.

Outside…

How dare she speak to her father like this!

But…

Even if the elder was angry, he still changed his face and humbled himself to apologize to Phoenix Myers.

“Dad is not lecturing you, Dad is just…”

Before the old man could finish speaking, Phoenix Myers snorted coldly.

“You don’t have to be so hard on yourself. If you think you should scold me, just do it. After all, you’re the father and I’m the daughter; what’s the problem with you disciplining me?”

The old man trembled with anger.

“You and your mother are the same; I’ve spoiled both of you!”

Phoenix Myers laughed.

“Heh.”

The old man clenched his fists.

He couldn’t help but sigh!

Jun Chester stood aside, watching this father and daughter, and frowned.

“Is this how things are in your home?”

“You two, are you really her father?”

“Phoenix Myers, go stand outside.”

“Seven years have passed, and you haven’t made any progress at all. Have you no shame?”

Phoenix Myers suddenly lowered her proud head.

She could confront her father, the Supreme Lord of Lordran!

But not Jun Chester…

She didn’t dare.

Then, Phoenix Myers left with a stern face.

The old man sighed heavily and glanced at Jun Chester.

“Alas, this girl, she only listens to you!”

“However… you’ve been wrong these past seven years. She hasn’t made no progress; it’s just not very noticeable!”

Jun Chester didn’t bother to argue with the old man about this topic and ordered indifferently.

“Clean up the area. This afternoon, representatives from the business world will come to Lordran to discuss the next three-year business strategy cooperation.”

“Also, have the head of Bank of Lordran come to see me.”

“I want to check the accounts. I want to know if they were really serious about fulfilling the ten-year tribute agreement they signed. I will check every single penny!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The old man was stunned.

“Yesterday, I saw that your account balance was four trillion. That’s not a small amount.”

“How much do you want?”

Jun Chester became furious.

“Seven years, and only thirty percent of the tax revenue from the sixteen countries amounts to four trillion? Do you believe them?”
