LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The echo of the slap lingered in the air. The sound of James Garner heavily falling to the ground also lingered. When all of the commotion finally faded away, there was a deathly silence at the scene. Everyone was struck dumb by the sudden turn of events!

One character was more powerful than another. Was Winston Garner, Master Winston, powerful? When he met Jun Chester, he knelt! Was Winston Garner’s son Talon Garner powerful? He could take a life with a single flying dagger, yet he still couldn’t injure Kim Woolf, the “Guardian Deity” of the capital, in front of James Garner. Was James Garner powerful? In front of him, even Kim Woolf had to refer to himself as existing by James’s grace.

Now Jun Chester’s wife appeared, reaching the pinnacle of power! This woman who looked like a fairy, who seemed gentle and demure, upon hearing James Garner’s disrespectful words, darted over without hesitation and delivered a slap! A human? Could this still be considered a human?

Most people present were not cultivators. Just seeing Lyvia dart across the red carpet left them awestruck, let alone when she went up to James Garner and raised her hand against him! Most shocking of all, with just a slap, she sent James Garner flying back over ten meters!

Among those present, more than one person knew of James Garner’s background and identity. But only Jun Chester and Marietta Stewart truly understood his power. Especially Jun Chester. Because previously, Hugh Garner had told Jun Chester that when James Garner was 20 years old, he had already successfully cultivated the Ethereal Core once! This was an unbelievable concept! Even Jun Chester had only managed to cultivate the Ethereal Core successfully after arriving in this city!

Before returning to Dirtmouth from this city, he had absorbed the energy within the Map Stone and practiced the cultivation methods recorded on it, only reaching the strength of cultivating the Ethereal Core three times! Yet James Garner had already succeeded in cultivating the Ethereal Core once when he was 20! Now though, he was sent flying by a slap from Lyvia?

Jun Chester didn’t want to feel surprised. But facing this situation, he couldn’t help it. How could this be? On the way to the capital, he had only used the cultivation methods from the Map Stone to temper Lyvia’s essence a few times. Now, with just that, his wife could defeat James Garner with a slap? What was the name of the cultivation method from the Map Stone? How could it be so powerful?

James Garner only felt a burning pain across his face from the slap. But this little pain was negligible to him! What frustrated him the most was that he, someone who had cultivated the Ethereal Core successfully at 20, one in tens of millions, was now sent flying by a slap? For the first time in his life, James Garner’s mind went blank. His only thought was questioning how this could have happened! What sect did this woman come from to possess such terrifying strength? Even if it was the head priest of Pinkriver Temple, they probably didn’t have this kind of power! How could this be?Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, Lyvia looked condescendingly at James Garner with confusion between her brows. “That’s it?” “Didn’t Hugh Garner say you were very powerful?” “Didn’t Hugh Garner say that you were the one my husband had to be most careful of in this trip to the capital?” “That’s it?” “The king has turned to bronze?” “How could you not even withstand a slap from me, a weak woman?”

These words were severely insulting and offensive to James Garner’s ears. For the first time in his life, James Garner’s face flushed crimson red. His expression fluctuated irregularly as he shakily stood up and looked at Lyvia coldly. He spoke slowly, “I thought Jun Chester had exceptional talent in cultivation. Now I see he was only able to make Marietta Stewart submit because… he has you propping him up!”

Hearing this, Lyvia’s expression became strange. Just then, Jun Chester also walked over. He flicked his wrist tentatively and a silver needle shot towards James Garner, accurately hitting the back of his neck. James Garner’s body went limp and he collapsed to the ground again.

Jun Chester knitted his brows. “Weren’t you supposed to be very powerful? Is this all you’ve got? Are you really the James Garner that Hugh Garner mentioned?” James Garner lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, looking as if he was staring at death. The way he looked at Jun Chester was filled with shock. He never imagined that he couldn’t even dodge a silver needle in front of Jun Chester! How could this be?

With James Garner still in shock, Jun Chester had already walked up to him. He stepped on James Garner’s face and asked again, “I’m asking you, are you really James Garner?”
