LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The person who entered the ward was Bella. During the past nine days, although Jun Chester hadn’t personally treated Bella, he had shared the prepared medicine with her. These days, it was Mildred Clayborne and Deborah Forrest who had applied the medicine to Bella.

Bella actually already knew that she must have recovered her former appearance, and the injuries all over her body must have healed completely. However, she still felt a little disheartened. During these days, Jun Chester hadn’t even looked at her directly, let alone applied medicine for her. In other words, except for the day she was injured when Jun Chester had performed surgery on her personally, he hadn’t even touched her at other times.

Bella didn’t know if Jun Chester had forgiven her. She was still struggling in her heart. Anyway, before she was beaten all over by David Chester, Jun Chester had been able to rescue her. She was already grateful for that. Bella had secretly sworn that from now on, she would turn over a new leaf and start anew. She hoped to obtain Jun Chester’s forgiveness.

At this moment, as Lyvia was sobbing in Jun Chester’s arms, she heard Bella’s voice and her mood became complicated. On the day they were kidnapped by David Chester, she had witnessed Bella being whipped all over by David Chester. That scene had become her nightmare. It was also because Lyvia had spoken out for her that she had suffered those injuries on her face… Looking back, Lyvia didn’t know how she had managed to pull through.

But in fact, Bella’s injuries were a hundred times more severe than Lyvia’s. After all, they were cousins. Even though the two of them had deep-seated grudges, Lyvia couldn’t bear it in her heart! Now, seeing Bella’s body still wrapped in gauze, Lyvia’s heart couldn’t help but ache.

In those days, Lyvia had pleaded with Jun Chester more than once, asking him to help treat Bella as well. However, each time Jun Chester merely responded perfunctorily, and Lyvia had no choice but to believe that Bella’s injuries had not healed. Now, seeing Bella standing there like a mummy, Lyvia felt even more certain of her suspicions. She pursed her lips and looked at Jun Chester, begging him out loud.

“Jun, can you help her too?”

“After all, we are cousins.”

When she heard these words, Jun Chester’s mood didn’t fluctuate much, but Bella felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She never expected that Lyvia would actually plead for her. In the past, Bella had looked down on Jun Chester and asked Lyvia to replace her and deceive him. Moreover, all these years, Bella had not been kind to Lyvia.

Not only did she treat Lyvia as an illegitimate child, but she also regarded her as the lowest level of servant. Previously, in order to get Wilfrid Chester, she even had her people steal Lyvia’s life-saving equipment from the hospital… And now… she was still willing to help her. It wasn’t until this moment that Bella truly understood what family meant! Regretful tears slid from the corners of her eyes. All her calculations, schemes, and malice were now melted away by the tenderness displayed by Lyvia.

However…

Facing her now, she still felt a fishbone stuck in her throat.

She just couldn’t bring herself to greet them.

Seeing Jun Chester indifferent, Lyvia once again pleaded.

“Jun, actually… we… we got to know each other because of her…”

“If you can save her, that’s great. If you don’t, I won’t blame you.”

Although Jun Chester had already helped Bella, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable hearing Lyvia plead for her.

“Lyvia, do you know that your kindness will only be exploited?”

Lyvia was at a loss for words.

How could she not know this truth?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

But…

In the end, she couldn’t give up on her family.

If it were a life-or-death decision.

If she had to choose between Jun Chester and her sister, she would undoubtedly choose Jun Chester without hesitation.

Now…

She could only shamelessly beg Jun Chester.

In truth, Jun Chester didn’t want to put Lyvia in a difficult position either. He took a deep look at her and then finally turned to Bella. However, he only gave her a cold sentence.

“From now on, you’ll be Lyvia’s personal maid. You’ll do laundry, cook, and everything else. Any objections?”

Bella hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded her head vigorously, followed by shaking her head just as fast.

“No objections!”

Jun Chester snorted coldly and looked at Lyvia again.

“Lyvia, go take a shower first. Bella… is fine now.”

“Earlier, I had already instructed Mildred Clayborne to apply medicine to her.”

“Also, you’re being discharged today. I bought you some clothes. However, after so many years, I don’t remember your underwear size, so I just bought you a few at random. Change into them after you shower.”

Lyvia was momentarily stunned, her face suddenly turning bright red.

But before Lyvia could respond, another person appeared outside the door.

Colbert Osborn.

As soon as Jun Chester noticed him, he knew the purpose of his appearance.

Today was the opening day of the martial arts tournament!

Jun Chester hesitated for a moment and asked, “Is Phoenix back?”

Colbert Osborn replied, “Yes, he’s back.”

Jun Chester nodded and instructed, “For the next two days, Phoenix will be responsible for protecting Lyvia’s personal safety.”

Colbert Osborn bowed his head.

After arranging everything in the hospital, Jun Chester went alone to the Dirtmouth Commercial Tower.

The martial arts tournament was being held there.

At that moment.

Inside and outside the Commercial Tower, an undercurrent was surging.

Numerous big shots from both domestic and foreign countries were present, with representatives from sixty countries gathered together.

Among them, Krolin, the son of Cyand’s former Prime Minister Kronen, was the most eye-catching one.

Everyone knew that his father had just died an unnatural death.

Otherwise, his father would have come as the new king of Cyand.

Now, everything had become empty talk.

Under such circumstances, as soon as Krolin appeared, he became the focus of the whole tournament.

His father had died an unnatural death.

His sister was under house arrest by Lordran.

However, while everyone looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

The twelve black-clothed men following him made everyone at the scene gasp in shock.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the twelve black-clothed men disappeared one by one!

And when people found them again, they were already on top of the four buildings surrounding the Commercial Tower.

They were all imposing, as if they were demons! These twelve individuals were none other than the twelve Black Knights of Cinder Chapel, the subordinates of the silver-masked Hollow. Within Cinder Chapel, they were second only to the new generation of twelve Lords!

What’s most important was that, after seven years, each of them had become as powerful as the previous generation of twelve Lords! The sudden disappearance of the twelve Black Knights was broadcasted on television sets in every household. All the spectators watching the martial arts tournament broadcast were shocked and appalled.

Were they even human?

Alongside Krolin, there was also an old man in his eighties dressed in a suit – the king of Cyand, Henrys James. He had already reached retirement age, but due to the sudden death of Krolin’s father, he had no choice but to represent Cyand.

His feelings were somewhat complicated. Now, he was merely a puppet of Krolin. Behind Krolin… was Cinder Chapel!

Old James looked at the twelve Black Knights surrounding him, his eyes filled with apprehension. Krolin, who was beside him, also glanced at the twelve Black Knights, a vicious smile appearing on his face.

Today, they had come to Lordran not to participate in some worthless martial arts tournament! They had come to kill! Their target was Jun Chester!

Of course, today, many wanted to kill Jun Chester. More than half of the sixty countries wished to put Jun Chester to death! They had come to participate in this martial arts tournament, bringing with them the elite of their respective countries.

They all had the same goal: to join forces with Cinder Chapel’s twelve Black Knights and kill Jun Chester in front of the entire world, at any cost! After all, they were now in Lordran. No matter what happened, the loss would be incurred by Lordran.

At this moment, every faction believed that this city, today, was destined to be destroyed along with Jun Chester! But there was one person they had forgotten. This person was David Chester.

Right now, he was walking from the river in front of the Commercial Tower, step by step, towards the shore. At this very moment, all pedestrians on both sides of the river opened their eyes wide in disbelief!

David Chester was walking on the river as if he was taking a casual stroll. Wherever he walked, fish, snakes, and all aquatic creatures in the water floated to the surface, all of them dead!

Someone took out a telescope to observe closely and saw a strange, dark aura swirling around David Chester! Moreover, even though he originally had short hair, his hair was now growing at a visibly rapid rate.

In the still air, his long hair was blown by an unseen force, and his eyes were as black as ink! It was as if a demon had descended upon the earth!

At the same time, far away on a bridge, Jun Chester, who was sitting in a taxi, did not seem the least bit surprised by what was happening. Luminescence stage peak? Just half a step away from the Luminescence stage limit? What a joke!

They all wanted a lesson, didn’t they? Fine. I’ll teach them!
