LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Master Branden of Dirtmouth, carried by Dawson London with one hand, was shocking enough. Everyone present wondered who Dawson London was. Now they heard Master Branden crying, saying that Dawson London was merely a soldier under Jun Chester. The entire hall fell silent. Everyone began to speculate about Jun Chester’s background.

Upon hearing his words, Bella’s face was filled with astonishment, her mind blank. Dawson London – was he really just a soldier under Jun Chester? There must be some misunderstanding! How could someone as promising as Dawson London be a subordinate of that fool Jun Chester? Bella couldn’t help but examine Dawson London again. Although he was dressed in military attire, there were no stars or badges on his shoulders. Bella couldn’t help but doubt the rumors, and she believed Dawson London couldn’t possibly be a general.

Didn’t Lordran have any better man? A young brat like him could be a general? Came to think about it, Bella snorted coldly and said to Dawson London in an icy voice, “Dawson London, you should know that I’m speaking kindly to you now because of the past friendship between our families. Otherwise, what do you think you are? Put him down immediately, and I won’t hold it against you! Otherwise, even the London family won’t be able to protect you, you liar!”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

A glimmer of coldness flashed in Dawson London’s eyes.

At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in Dirtmouth’s special forces uniform emerged from the hospital’s ground floor elevator hall, followed by a group of fully armed soldiers carrying anti-riot equipment. Those being held by these special forces people were the punks who had appeared on the 28th floor with Master Branden. They hardly ever fought back all this time, and some even cried out in thanks as if being held by the special forces was the greatest blessing of their lives. Compared to the special forces, the men in military uniforms with stars on their shoulders on the 28th floor were much more intimidating. To these punks, it seemed that just standing in front of those men with stars on their shoulders was an unbearable ordeal.

Bella was shocked to her core by what was happening. The others present couldn’t help but cheer at the events unfolding. Over the years, this Master Branden had proven what a trouble he had been in Dirtmouth! Today, he and his punks were finally arrested! The middle-aged man leading the special forces approached Dawson London with large strides. When he drew near, he saluted and said in a stern voice, “General, we have captured Humbert Branden and 34 others!” Dawson London raised his hand nonchalantly. “Take them all away, and keep the area around the hospital clean. Tonight, I don’t want to see any flies bothering me!” The middle-aged man’s face turned cold. “Yes, General!” The middle-aged man took Humbert Branden from Dawson London’s hand and walked outside.

Dawson London didn’t even glance at Bella again, striding towards the hospital’s main entrance and finally stopping by the door. He still stood upright. Bella watched what was happening, unable to regain her senses for a long time. It felt like she was dreaming. She didn’t know how much time had passed before she came back to her senses and quickly headed to the elevator to go to the 28th floor. She still couldn’t believe that everything that had just happened was related to that fool Jun Chester.

When Bella arrived at the elevator on the 28th floor, she finally regretted her actions. Inside the elevator lobby on the twenty-eighth floor, she saw more than a dozen officer-looking men squarely standing there in military uniforms with stars on their shoulders. As Bella stepped out of the elevator, she was immediately locked in by all their gazes. All those extraordinary gazes fell upon Bella, who felt weak and almost stumbled to the ground.

In front of these people, Bella felt less than an ant. Trembling, she tried to calm herself down before looking at Colbert Osborn. Bella didn’t know that Colbert was Jack Osborn’s son, nor that he was Jun Chester’s student. But she knew that this man was Lordran’s Commander-in-Chief, who had once single-handedly defeated an army of millions. As long as Colbert Osborn was on the border, no one dared to invade Lordran’s territory.

Despite this, Bella did not believe that Colbert Osborn’s arrival had anything to do with Jun Chester. She thought it was because Colbert Osborn was also from Dirtmouth. For years, Humbert Branden had been stealing and selling antiques stored in Chester Fortress. Colbert Osborn’s return to his hometown must be just to eliminate the gang.

But thinking of this made Bella even more afraid. The reason why Humbert Branden had been able to sell these antiques without restraint all these years was because of Bella’s secret permission and support. Otherwise, in just seven years, the Harding family would not have grown so rapidly, becoming a giant alongside the Chester and London families. This had made Bella the first invisible female tycoon in Lordran.

As she looked at Colbert Osborn and the others, Bella gasped and hurriedly walked towards the room where Lyvia was. Colbert Osborn stepped forward and uttered a single word, “Leave!”

Bella stopped in her tracks, her voice trembling. “I’m here to visit a patient. Lyvia is my cousin.”

Colbert Osborn stared into Bella’s eyes for a moment. “I will go in and report.”

Bella’s face turned pale upon hearing this. “To whom?”

Colbert Osborn sneered. He didn’t even bother to explain to Bella. She was not worth it! Bella was both frightened and enraged by his expression. For seven years, who had dared to speak to her like this? Colbert Osborn treated her like nothing!

This was worse than being slapped in public and having her head rubbed against the ground! But when she thought of Colbert Osborn’s identity, Bella could only bear the humiliation.

At that moment, Colbert Osborn had reached the door of the sickroom. He knocked gently and announced loudly, “Lord Chester, someone is here!”

When she heard his words, Bella felt like she had been struck by lightning. From within the sickroom, she heard the faint voice of a man, “What is it?”

Upon hearing this, Bella almost fainted, her entire body shaking. Colbert Osborn’s voice came again, “Lord Chester, Bella Harding is here, and she hopes to have your permission to come in and see you.”

Bella was furious. Permission? During their childhood, just no matter what Bella did to Jun Chester, this fool would only try to appease her. In front of her, he was less than a dog!

To bully this cultivation nerd, Bella and other children had repeatedly tried all their ways on him, yet he had never even once fought back! Bella even lied that the money for his cultivation came from the Harding family, and this foolish dog would even believe her!

Now, just to see this fool, she needed permission? Bella laughed in anger. Fine, permission it was! What choice did she have?

But the next words from Jun Chester inside the sickroom completely shattered Bella’s sanity. Jun Chester only said a few words: “Tell her to get out!”
