Chapter 14: A Crime Worthy of Punishment!
The old man was James Matthews. He had been the best friend of Jun Chester’s grandfather in his lifetime. At eighty years old, he was still strong and spirited. Back in the day, Jun’s grandfather had made his fortune trading on the border and had encountered bandits many times. James Matthews had saved him countless times. However, for some reason, the two parted ways in their twilight years.
It was said that Jun’s grandfather had done something unforgivable to James Matthews, and in the end, James had no choice but to leave with a heavy heart. Before his departure, James Matthews had been Jun Chester’s mentor. After all, no one could truly learn everything on their own. Especially cultivation. Even with his extraordinary talent, Jun needed someone to show him the way. James Matthews was that person. Thanks to James Matthews’ guidance, Jun Chester had established a solid foundation at such a young age.
In Jun Chester’s eyes, James Matthews had always been his idol. Not just because he had challenged and defeated all the sects with his iron fists and Scurry Steps. But also because the old man cherished his brothers more than his own life! Even if betrayed by his brother, he wouldn’t turn against him! Although Jun had surpassed James Matthews at the age of fifteen, the influence of the old man still lingered in his life. The day Jun Chester defeated James Matthews, the old man finally left with peace of mind. For many years, Jun Chester had thought James Matthews was dead.
Because during their last training session, Jun Chester had noticed that James Matthews was gravely ill and didn’t have much time left. How could he have imagined that they would meet again today! How fortunate! Yet, as Jun Chester was immersed in surprise and joy, Bella seemed to have grasped a lifeline. She cried out to James Matthews. “Mr. Matthews, hurry and seize this bastard.
He has no respect for his own mother, and he deserves to die!” A sudden surge of anger rose in Jun Chester’s eyes as he looked at Bella again. Bella immediately shut her mouth. James Matthews upstairs glanced at Bella with utter disgust. He spoke coldly. “Bella, if it weren’t for the fact that you married into the Chester family, your actions alone would have given me enough reason to kill you!” “Now that you’ve fallen so low, you still don’t know how to repent, it’s simply outrageous!
“Upon hearing James Matthews’ words, Bella’s face turned ashen. Unexpectedly, her only lifeline was siding with this bastard. Bella was completely desperate! But the next moment, Bella felt she had another chance. Because Jun Chester wasn’t looking at her anymore, he had disappeared! And when he reappeared, he was right in front of James Matthews upstairs. When she saw what happened, Bella was shocked.
James Matthews looked at Jun Chester up and down, his face full of gratification. “Jun, you’re so young and have already reached the peak of Harmonization. You’ve truly surprised me.” Downstairs, Nathan Harding gasped upon hearing this. The peak of Harmonization and the Harmonization stage were two completely different concepts! How could he have thought that Jun Chester, so young, had reached such a terrifying realm! But Jun Chester spoke calmly to James Matthews, “Not the peak of Harmonization.
“James Matthews’ eyelids twitched, and he looked at Jun Chester again in astonishment, “Could it be. . . Luminescence?” Jun Chester didn’t answer but glanced at James Matthews. He raised his hand and pointed his index finger at James Matthews’ forehead.
Wow! James Matthews couldn’t help himself and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. It was then that Jun Chester spoke softly, “Seven years ago, I had already broken through the Luminescence limit, all thanks to your guidance back then, Master!” James Matthews’ eyes widened, shocked to the core. Downstairs, Nathan Harding’s mind went blank. Luminescence. . . limit?
Had Jun Chester reached that legendary realm seven years ago? Although Bella wasn’t a cultivator, she had heard about cultivation over the years while trying to maintain her figure. The Luminescence limit was completely beyond her comprehension! However, she had heard of Harmonization and the peak of Harmonization. Luminescence limit. . . would that be even more powerful than the peak of Harmonization? Otherwise, why would Nathan Harding not even have the courage to fight Jun Chester?
The others present also heard Jun Chester’s voice. They were all panicked. They wished they could flee Chester Fortress as quickly as possible! If Jun Chester approached them again, wouldn’t he crush them like ants, one by one, underfoot? Jun Chester, however, didn’t pay attention to anyone downstairs. He supported James Matthews’ arm and spoke softly. “Master, I have already helped you remove the chronic disease from your body. I never expected you to reach the Harmonization stage.” James Matthews only felt a refreshing sensation, and of course, he knew it was all thanks to Jun Chester.
For a moment, James Matthews was too emotional to speak. After a while, James Matthews finally spoke with a trembling voice. “Jun, I am not worthy of being your master!” “Before I embarked on my journey, it was the knowledge you taught me that gave me an extra decade or more.” “Reaching Harmonization is all because of what you just did. I don’t know what to say; you are truly a genius!” “It is a great honor for me to have known you in this life!” “You should be my master… Please!”
With that, James Matthews was about to bow to Jun Chester. Jun Chester hurriedly supported James Matthews, saying anxiously, “Master, please don’t do this.” James Matthews held Jun Chester’s arm for a long time, not knowing what to say. He was so emotional that he wanted to cry. Jun Chester had no choice but to change the subject. “Master, why did you suddenly come back? Or have you been in Dirtmouth all along?”
James Matthews looked downstairs, then turned to look at Wilfrid Chester’s room and sighed softly. “I was told that your father was seriously ill, so I came here hoping I could help him and give him some more time, but it seems now. . .” James Matthews didn’t continue. A trace of gloom flashed in Jun Chester’s eyes as he said in a low voice, “The recent events in the family are indeed embarrassing.” James Matthews sighed again, saying, “Although I can’t save him anymore, after all, he is your father. He has something to say to you. Go see him.”
Jun Chester took a deep breath. He didn’t want to refuse James Matthews’ request. He nodded to James Matthews and walked towards Wilfrid Chester’s bedroom. But at that moment, a cell phone rang downstairs. It was Bella’s phone. When she saw the caller ID, Bella’s eyes suddenly widened. It was a call from Blake Charlton. She answered the call quickly. A woman’s voice came from the other end.
“Lord Charlton is now in Dirtmouth, and he’s on his way to your house. Bella, are you at home?” Meanwhile, on the road from Dirtmouth Airport to Chester Fortress. A convoy of more than a hundred meters was driving in the middle of the road.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Countless security vehicles cleared the road ahead of them! Such a scene had never occurred in this city before!
In the middle vehicle was none other than Lord Charlton, who had come to Jiang City solely for Jun Chester. However, Blake Charlton was somewhat nervous, unsure if Jun Chester would agree to let him follow him.
When Bella heard of Lord Charlton’s arrival, she was overjoyed! In an instant, it seemed as if all her hopes had been rekindled!
Lord Charlton’s students were practically the entire bureaucratic system, and the head of the Dirtmouth Special Security Agency was one of them. Just the day before, Jun Chester had injured Edric Harding, and now Pete Chester lay on the ground, bloodied and screaming!
Even with the protection of Colbert Osborn, he could not escape such a crime.
Could this mongrel even go against the law?
Lord Charlton was here.
Jun Chester’s death was more than sure!
