LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Silence, a deathly silence!

No one expected that the first thing Hadwin, the head of South Capital, would do after getting out of the car was to kneel and salute Jun!

This…

And at that very moment, while everyone was still in shock!

All of Hadwin’s attendants faced Jun from a distance and, like Hadwin, knelt on one knee!

In unison, they said:

“Congratulations! Spirit Town King! Lord Chester! Jun! Welcome back safely!”

The voices were not particularly loud.

But each one was firm and powerful!

It was only at this moment that Barnaby, kneeling in front of Jun, realized what kind of person his sister had offended today!

Lordran’s…

Lord Chester!

The man who was said to be on par with James!

Moreover, recent news suggested that Lordran had acquired new territory overseas!

Named Spirit Town!

And Mr. Hadwin had just referred to Jun as the Spirit Town King!

Which meant…

The young man in front of him was the true prince?

As for his elder brother, the so-called Lord Bates, he…

In front of Jun, the true prince…

Was nothing!

For a moment, Barnaby was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

His face ashen!

At this moment, Barnaby even thought of getting up and beating his sister to death!

Of all people to offend, why this overwhelmingly powerful figure?

Looking at Mrs. Sutton now.

Although she had been beaten by Felicia and couldn’t get up, seeing the scene in front of the Antique Pavilion…

She seemed to have lost her soul!

Where was the shrewish behavior she had shown earlier?

As for Barnaby’s lackeys, each one wished they could turn into an ant and find a hole to hide in!

It’s over!

It’s really over this time!

Mom said not to get involved in shady business, but I didn’t listen. Now…

I don’t even have a chance to work menial jobs in society anymore!

Looking at Lorelei now.

She was completely stunned.

Just moments ago, she was thinking of pleading with the head of South Capital to listen to her explanation and buy some time for the man who stood up for her to leave the scene…

But now…

There was no need.

The man who stood up for her turned out to be the legendary…

Lord Chester?

The man her sister revered as a deity?

For a moment.

Lorelei was completely dumbfounded.

Jun, facing Hadwin’s salute, showed no emotional fluctuation. He simply raised his hand slightly and said calmly:

“No need for formalities!”

Only then did Hadwin rise.

But before Hadwin could speak again, Jun asked first:

“How did you know I was here?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Hadwin replied respectfully:

“The head of South Capital troops informed me. Moreover, I received orders from James. James instructed me to ensure that Lord Chester comes to my humble abode. James is on his way to South Capital, he seems to have something to discuss with Lord Chester!”

Jun nodded slightly and waved his hand:

“Wait in the car for now. Also, have your men take those scoundrels in the middle of the road to the South Capital Special Operations Unit for interrogation. Clean up all their dirty dealings!”

Hadwin replied respectfully:

“Yes, sir!”

With that, Hadwin carefully retreated and followed Jun’s instructions, having his men arrest Mrs. Sutton and those lackeys.

Then, Hadwin returned to the car.

He even had the driver park the car in a nearby parking spot.

The scene…

Became even quieter.

No one expected Jun to make Hadwin wait in the car!

This…

Hadwin was the head of South Capital!

And yet he obeyed Jun’s words?

It was clear what Jun’s name meant in Lordran.

Jun looked at Barnaby again and said calmly:

“Call your backer, Lord Bates, and tell him to come here.”

Barnaby’s mind went blank.

Jun frowned and said:

“What? You don’t understand what I’m saying?”

Barnaby’s face twitched as he swallowed a mouthful of blood and trembled:

“I understand!”

With that, Barnaby decisively took out his phone and called the so-called Lord Bates.

It’s worth mentioning that Barnaby still had some cunning.

When the call connected, he didn’t tell Lord Bates the truth but instead lied.

He said he saw a treasure at the Antique Pavilion related to the Cultivation world!

Lord Bates asked, “What treasure?”

Barnaby continued lying, “An ancient sword with significant historical value! Can you come over and take a look?”

Lord Bates replied, “You buy it first, I’ll reimburse you later.”

Barnaby looked bitter, “I can’t afford it! Old Martins said this ancient sword is priceless and won’t sell it to just anyone. So I thought you should come personally.”

Lord Bates said indifferently, “Alright, I’m coming over. My brother is with me, he knows more about these things than I do.”

Barnaby finally breathed a sigh of relief and added, “Please hurry, ancient swords are hard to find these days!”

Lord Bates said nothing more and hung up.

Barnaby then looked pitifully at Jun and said bitterly:

“Does this count as making amends?”

Jun replied calmly:

“No.”

“…”

Barnaby had nothing more to say and lowered his head in shame, awaiting his fate.

Jun ignored Barnaby and gave a calm order to Felicia nearby:

“Wait outside and keep an eye on Mrs. Sutton.”

Felicia smiled brightly:

“Yes, sir!”

Then Jun glanced at Lorelei, who was still stunned, and said calmly:

“Come inside with me, I have something to ask you.”

Lorelei opened her mouth but hesitated.

Jun walked into the Antique Pavilion, and Lorelei snapped out of it and nervously followed him inside.

She saw Jun already sitting on the sofa in the reception room. Without a word, Lorelei knelt before Jun.

Jun frowned and said:

“What are you doing? Get up!”

Lorelei’s eyes reddened as she said:

“If it weren’t for you today, my life would be over! This is gratitude! I’m kneeling not because you’re a big shot but because of your kindness!”

Jun said softly:

“Stand up.”

Only then did Lorelei rise but dared not look at Jun again.

Jun then asked:

“Do you know where Old Martins is right now?”

Lorelei immediately replied:

“I know.”

Jun asked:

“Where is he?”

Lorelei hesitated for a moment and choked up:

“In the hospital.”

Jun frowned and asked:

“Why is he in the hospital?”

Lorelei tearfully replied:

“He is sick, he’s been bedridden for half a year. They say it’s cancer!”
