LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The room Jun Chester was in was an independent kitchen on the twenty-eighth floor of Dirtmouth City Hospital.

Over the past week, Jun Chester had cooked for Lyvia every day in this kitchen.

Upon hearing Jun Chester’s response, Lordran’s Supreme Lord knew that even he could not persuade him.

Hopefully, there would be no more deaths today and tomorrow.

The martial arts tournament would be held the day after tomorrow.

Now, the alliance had secretly held a meeting in Cyand.

If more people died today and tomorrow, the alliance would organize an investigation team to come to Lordran.

If the evidence was conclusive, and the previous thirty-seven world tycoons and nobles all died because of Jun Chester…

Then Lordran would indeed be very likely to become the target of everyone’s arrows.

With such thoughts in mind, the elderly man’s face was full of worry, but he still turned around to get the salt for Jun Chester and placed it by his hand.

Jun Chester continued to cook the soup.

The elderly man took a deep breath, seeming to make a significant decision, and spoke in a low voice.

“Seven years ago, when the twelve Lords of Cinder Chapel wanted to besiege you within Lordran’s borders, I was worried that the people of Dirtmouth would be affected and didn’t help you.”

“Starting today, no matter what you do, I’ll be here!”

“No matter how much trouble you cause, I’ll deal with it for you!”

“After all, as a man, you should do something for your injured wife. I understand!”

With that, the elderly man said no more and turned to leave.

However, he had just stepped outside.

The elder suddenly saw Badfella Stannard standing not far away. Their eyes met. A trace of surprise flashed in the elder’s eyes as he blurted out, “Mr. Stannard?” As the Lord of Herbs in Lord House, the elder naturally recognized Badfella Stannard. He never expected to find Badfella Stannard in the hospital. Could it be that Jun Chester was also one of the Lords of Lord House? Otherwise, Badfella Stannard wouldn’t have appeared here. In his demeanor, he seemed to be visiting an old friend.

Seeing the elder, Badfella Stannard appeared unfazed, his face still bearing a cheerful smile. “James, what brings you here?” he asked. “Oh, it seems there’s some unrest internationally. Do you need help?”

The elder sighed. “Please persuade Jun. He shouldn’t be so domineering.”

Badfella Stannard’s smile remained unchanged. “On the contrary, I think Lord Chester is too gentle. If Lord Chester allowed me to take action, it wouldn’t just be those thirty-seven people. I wouldn’t spare even the thirty-seven families behind them. Since we’re going to act, we should cut the grass and eliminate the roots!”

Upon hearing this, the elder’s face changed dramatically, his voice trembling. “What did you call Jun Chester?”

Badfella Stannard was slightly taken aback. “What, don’t you know? He’s Lord Chester of Lord House.”

The elder stood rooted to the spot, his shock overwhelming. He hadn’t expected Jun Chester to be Lord Chester of Lord House! He had only thought that Jun Chester might be a member of Lord House, with a position above the Lords’ Guards. Now it seemed that Jun Chester was actually Lord Chester of Lord House!

But how many secrets did Jun Chester have that people didn’t know about? Compared to his identity in Lord House, his title as “Lord Chester”, commander of the three armies of Lordran, paled in comparison!Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Seeing the elder’s dumbfounded expression, Badfella Stannard casually handed him a cane. “Colbert gave me this cane the day before yesterday. It looks ordinary, but inside is the scepter of an ancient Egyptian queen.”

“They found it in Minister Cyand’s house.”

“Originally, I wanted to keep it for myself, but I was afraid, afraid of being beaten up by Lord Chester!”

“I’m too old to take a beating, you take it. I’ve had enough fun with it. Why not return it to Egypt? After all, it belongs to them.”

The elder, trembling, accepted the cane. The moment he took it, the coating on the cane shattered, revealing a golden snake-headed queen’s scepter. A pigeon egg-sized green gem was embedded in the golden snake head, and the snake’s eyes were two black crystals of unknown material. The golden snake scales looked lifelike, and the black staff underneath seemed to be made of the hardest metal in the world.

The elder nearly dropped the scepter, which weighed at least fifty pounds. Holding it, he felt as if he were imbued with supreme majesty. The elder’s emotions took a long time to settle.

Badfella Stannard didn’t say anything else, carrying a bag of items and entering the kitchen where Jun Chester was.

The next day, the death toll continued to rise worldwide. And without exception, the deceased were all world-class tycoons. Even if they hid in tropical rainforests, they couldn’t escape the Lords’ Guards’ pursuit.

However, the ancient Egyptian queen’s scepter suddenly appeared in Egypt. The lost treasure, after thousands of years, finally returned. Egypt immediately announced the news. The world’s top circles were shocked and deeply puzzled.

At the same time, some countries friendly with Lordran and some countries without grudges against Lordran all received gifts of equal value. The top circles of various countries were all puzzled. What on earth was going on?

The Supreme Lord of Lordran understood that this was a scheme set up by Jun Chester. Those were gifts for friendly countries.

And as the world was in a state of panic and bewilderment, a martial arts tournament began in Lordran Dirtmouth.

At that moment, Jun Chester had already brought Lyvia to the mirror. Originally, he could have removed the gauze two days ago. But Jun Chester had applied a special ointment to Lyvia’s face. Lyvia looked at the mirror, her entire head wrapped in white gauze. At this moment, she was extremely nervous, not knowing what would happen next.

During the previous nine days, she had followed Jun Chester’s instructions every day, taking medicine, changing ointment, and thinking that even if she couldn’t recover her original appearance, she would at least be somewhat better. Lyvia tightly grasped Jun Chester’s hand, her voice trembling, “Should we remove it now?”

Jun Chester smiled faintly, “Of course, after removing the gauze, you will see a slightly different you.” As the layers of gauze were removed, Lyvia dared not open her eyes. But her intuition told her… she really felt very different. Her face felt cool and refreshing, no longer unbearably itchy like before.

Lyvia tentatively opened her eyes. In the mirror, her current appearance appeared instantly. Although there was still some herbal residue on her face, she could still see her smooth, fair skin. Seeing the flawless face in the mirror, Lyvia subconsciously wiped the herbs off her face and reached up to touch her own face. She couldn’t believe it! It was hard to imagine that this was her own face.

Compared to before she was injured, her face was now even more fair and delicate. Her skin was as smooth as a baby’s… Her appearance hadn’t changed, but she was even more beautiful now! “Is… is this me?” Lyvia was shocked to the extreme, completely unable to believe that the woman in the mirror was herself. With just one glance, she felt that she had hopelessly fallen in love with herself.

In a moment, all her previous worries vanished! She had worried that she would become extremely ugly in the future, be a burden to Jun Chester, and become his shame. Now, Lyvia was extremely confident. She was completely amazed by herself.

Jun Chester gently stroked Lyvia’s hair, smiling and saying, “Who else could it be if not you? You’re so beautiful, I really want to have more children with you.” In an instant, Lyvia’s face flushed with shyness. But the next moment, she suddenly burst into tears, turned and threw herself into Jun Chester’s arms, sobbing loudly. All the grievances were gone. The tears she shed were tears of extreme joy.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened. The person who entered was wrapped in thick gauze from head to toe, looking like a mummy and walking quite comically. She looked at Jun Chester and Lyvia, who were hugging each other, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions.
