LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The grand hall was filled with silence, so quiet that people could hear their own heartbeats. Mark Sutton’s words had just reached the ears of those around them. Jun Chester had not only killed his father, but also shattered all the antiques hidden within Chester Fortress!

As the head of the Dirtmouth Special Service Agency and a favorite student of Lord Charlton, Mark Sutton would not be joking about such matters. For a moment, most people chose to believe him.

The most important part was that many people around them knew that Bella had once been Jun Chester’s fiancée. Upon Jun Chester’s return, he discovered that his fiancée had become his stepmother. Such a thing was enough to serve as a motive for Jun Chester to kill his father.

Many people secretly sighed, lamenting Lord Chester’s tragic fate. No matter how powerful he had been seven years ago, he still met a tragic end. Even though he had done everything a man should do, it didn’t change the fact that Jun Chester had killed his own father.

Now, with Lord Charlton and Mark Sutton around them, no matter how formidable Jun Chester was, he could not escape his fate. Even though everyone knew the truth in their hearts, they dared not speak because Colbert Osborn was among them. Trouble was brewing.

If Mark Sutton openly arrested Jun Chester, it would be like pouring oil on a fire, completely enraging Jun Chester. In that case, everyone around them could be affected. Many astute people had already quietly left the scene, knowing they couldn’t afford to watch the drama unfold. Although the affairs of the Chester family were captivating, their own safety ultimately came first.

However, most of the people around them had once received favors from the Harding family. They were eager to see the downfall of a powerful figure like Jun Chester.

What they didn’t know was that Jun Chester had indeed come from Chester Fortress, but he had no knowledge of Wilfrid Chester’s murder. Even Bella was utterly clueless.

Wilfrid Chester was dead? What had happened?

It didn’t take long for Bella to become convinced that Wilfrid Chester must have been killed by Jun Chester. After all, the terrifying aura Jun Chester had displayed in Chester Fortress still sent shivers down her spine.

Wilfrid Chester had already been gravely ill, his days numbered. Now, being killed by Jun Chester or dying from Jun Chester’s intimidation was only a matter of course. However, for some reason, Bella’s face showed no sadness after firmly believing this.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

No matter what, she had to complete her performance.

Bella steadied herself as tears immediately welled up in her eyes. As she watched Jun Chester approach step by step, her teardrops fell to the ground like a string of pearls. Anyone would feel pity for her.

Finally, Bella spoke again. “Father, did you hear? Did you see? Jun Chester is nothing but a sinful beast!” “With Colbert Osborn by his side, perhaps even you and Mark Sutton would struggle to bring this bastard to justice!” “But this is the truth, and today, even if I die, I’ll die with regrets!” “It’s just my daughter Ann. At such a young age, she’ll be left without parents!”

Upon hearing Bella’s words, Blake Charlton heaved a deep sigh. He comforted Bella, “Bella, don’t worry yet. Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding here!” “I don’t believe Jun Chester would commit such a heinous act!”

Choking on her words, Bella’s tears continued to fall. Blake Charlton glanced at Mark Sutton and slowly raised his hand. The meaning was clear: Mark, you handle this for now. I’m too old for this kind of shock.

Understanding Blake Charlton’s meaning, Mark Sutton strode towards Jun Chester, blocking his path. “Jun Chester, what are you doing here?”

Jun Chester looked at Mark Sutton without saying a word. Mark Sutton’s voice thundered, “Someone sent a message saying they witnessed you injuring your uncle and killing Wilfrid Chester with your own hands at Chester Fortress!” “Even the numerous antiques in Chester Fortress have been destroyed by you!” “Is this true?”

Jun Chester’s brow furrowed slightly. “Wilfrid Chester is dead?”

Mark Sutton sneered, “My people wouldn’t joke about something like this. Come with me to the station now, and I’ll find out the truth. Then, I’ll present all the evidence before your eyes!” With that, Mark Sutton took out a pair of handcuffs.

But at that moment, two men in military uniforms stood in front of Jun Chester, staring coldly at Mark Sutton. They were Colbert Osborn and Dawson London! Colbert Osborn took off his uniform and threw it to the ground, looking coldly at Mark Sutton with an indifferent voice. “I don’t believe Lord Chester would do such things, but even if he did, what then? He is my master, and those who insult him shall be killed!”

Colbert Osborn’s actions caused everyone present to widen their eyes and gasp. His behavior made it clear that he would rather give up his glory and honor than betray his sense of justice. He was the Commander-in-Chief of Lordran! What did that mean? With a single command, millions of soldiers would heed his call. Such prestige and power, yet today…

He acted in such a way? Dawson London, the youngest famous general in Lordran! Everyone knew that, barring any accidents, years later, this young man was destined to succeed Colbert Osborn’s place and become the Commander-in-Chief!

But his next actions were identical to Colbert Osborn’s. He actually removed his military uniform and threw it on the ground. The only difference from Colbert Osborn was that he didn’t say a word, standing straight in front of Jun Chester.

With Lord Charlton attending today, the London family, as one of Dirtmouth’s most well-established families, naturally had their core members present at the Harding family gathering. Dawson London’s father nearly fainted upon witnessing his son’s behavior.

If Jun Chester truly committed the crime of patricide, the London family would be utterly ruined this time! Dawson London, this foolish child! He was still too young. His current actions were completely thoughtless!

Dawson London’s current behavior, if it went awry, could jeopardize the London family’s reputation, status, and wealth!

Dawson London’s father, named Edward London, was a very shrewd businessman. Seeing the situation unfold before him, he closed his eyes and faked a ridiculous death scene by kicking his legs out.

The London family’s old butler saw this and lamented. “Young Master! Young Master! Master has fainted!” He urged, “Please, please come over! We must rush the Master to the hospital, he has a heart condition, and it will be too late if we don’t hurry!”

Dawson London merely glanced at Edward London and paid him no further attention.

Still standing straight in front of Jun Chester, Dawson finally spoke up. “Today, whoever dares to touch a single hair on Lord Chester will have to step over my dead body first!” His voice was resolute and powerful, displaying the courage of a young calf unafraid of tigers.

However, the soldiers under Jun Chester were not young calves, but rather dragons and tigers! The scene grew completely silent. Jun Chester spoke calmly, “Colbert, Dawson, you two go to the Chester house first and investigate the whole matter.”

“If Wilfrid Chester is truly dead, I give you half a day to get the murderer!” He continued, “The sky of Dirtmouth has become murky, filled with too many vile characters. We need to trace the root of the problem and cleanse the source to restore clarity.”

As he spoke, Jun Chester cast a meaningful glance at Blake Charlton, who had temporarily avoided trouble. It seemed as if part of his words were meant for Blake, suggesting that once a person grew old, they could easily become muddled and seek fame at any cost.
