LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

All core members of the Chester family had arrived at the Harding residence. The core members of the Harding family were also present, and they all appeared to be in high spirits. In the entire nation, perhaps no one was unaware of Lord Charlton. Even the most inconspicuous person following Blake Charlton was a high-ranking official. Thus, Blake Charlton’s power and influence were evident.

The people present were stunned when they heard Blake Charlton asking about the whereabouts of his master. For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Blake Charlton was already a hundred years old, which meant that his master must be at least a hundred and twenty years old. Did such long-lived individuals truly exist in this world?

Bella, in particular, was astounded. However, the information she focused on was not merely that Blake Charlton had a master, but that he was asking Colbert Osborn about their master. Bella already knew that Colbert Osborn had once been a soldier under Jun Chester, so Jun Chester should be above Colbert Osborn. If Blake Charlton and Colbert Osborn now shared the same master, wouldn’t that make him even lower than the “bastard”?

Inwardly, Bella had a bad feeling. Colbert Osborn also looked puzzled and could not figure it out. What did he mean by “our master”?

“Is our master not here?” asked Blake Charlton, noticing Colbert Osborn’s confusion.

“Your master is…” Colbert Osborn couldn’t help but ask.

Blake Charlton stroked his beard and laughed, “I understand now. My master must have thought I was joking back then, but that wasn’t the case. Although I’m old, I’m not that senile! When I lost completely back in the day, I was completely convinced. I came to Dirtmouth this time to make an announcement in front of everyone! If he refuses to see me, then… I’ll stay in Dirtmouth and not leave. I’ll only go when he agrees!”

People often say that when someone gets old, they sometimes become like a child. This was precisely what was happening to Blake Charlton. It was then that Colbert Osborn finally understood something. The person Lord Charlton was referring to must be…

Colbert Osborn couldn’t help but gasp, but he still asked, “Lord Charlton, are you talking about my teacher, Jun Chester?”

Blake Charlton burst into laughter. “Hahaha, it’s not arrogance, but who else could be qualified to be my master other than Lord Chester?”

“Could it be you?” “Colbert, although you are the Commander-in-Chief, your intellect is far inferior to that of Lord Chester!” Colbert Osborn wore a bitter smile on his face.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Bella, as well as the core members of both families present, were all struck as if by lightning.

Blake Charlton…

Jun Chester

Master

Bella’s mind went blank.

She felt as if she had suddenly become the butt of a huge joke.

At that moment, Blake Charlton looked at Bella and asked with a smile, “Bella, is my master really not here?” Bella’s face displayed a range of emotions.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Colbert Osborn sneered at Bella for once, “Bella, you are Lord Charlton’s goddaughter, and Lord Charlton is about to become my master’s disciple.”

“What should you call me then?!” Blake Charlton added with a hearty laugh, “Bella, if I succeed today, you will have been touched by fortune, and this is an honor that ordinary people can’t attain!” Bella’s ears turned red.

Every pore on her body seemed to be heating up.

But she couldn’t say anything.

Because, she had indeed become the butt of a huge joke.

With so many important people around them, would Blake Charlton be joking?

At that moment, Bella wished she could just crawl into a crack in the ground.

What was she supposed to do now.

How could that bastard become Lord Charlton’s master.

Was she dreaming.

Bella took a long time to come back to her senses.

Biting her teeth, Bella decided to give it one last try. “Godfather, I think you need to think twice before you do anything!” Blake Charlton looked puzzled. “Why?” Bella asked, “Do you know about my relationship with Jun Chester?” Blake Charlton’s face grew even more puzzled.

Gathering all her courage, Bella glanced at everyone, led Blake Charlton aside, and whispered: “Godfather, perhaps you don’t know, but before I could become your goddaughter, I was already married to Jun Chester’s father, Wilfrid Chester.

If Jun Chester becomes your master, then I…” Blake Charlton furrowed his brow.

When Blake Charlton took Bella in as his goddaughter, it was solely because Bella and his youngest daughter were best friends, and she had also helped the Charlton family quite a bit.

As for the other matters concerning Bella and the Chester family, Blake Charlton knew nothing.

Bella added in a low voice. “Moreover, Jun Chester is such an ungrateful son.

He just returned yesterday and already made his father cough up blood in anger!” “He even slapped my brother, knocking out over a dozen of his teeth.

My brother is still lying in the intensive care unit!” “Even his uncle was injured by him!” “Not only that…”

Tears welled up in Bella’s eyes, turning them red. She seemed to have been wronged to the extreme, continuing to sob. “Because there is no one to help me now, and that animal wants to do those unspeakable things to me!” she exclaimed.

“Why do you think I insisted on you coming here instead of Chester Fortress?” she asked. “It’s because of Jun Chester! He’s running amok at Chester Fortress, and now he’s going to tear it down!”

“I really shouldn’t be telling you all this!” she cried. “If I weren’t so helpless, I wouldn’t be burdening you, Father, with all these problems!”

“Father, you must stand up for me!” she pleaded. “Otherwise, I won’t be able to go on living like this!”

Blake Charlton, after all, was already a hundred years old. Bella was only twenty-eight and looked utterly pitiful. How could Blake Charlton bear to see her like this? In a short time, he had some ideas.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a special service uniform approached. “Master, I beg your pardon, but Mark is tied up with official duties and cannot accompany you!”

“Something big has happened at Chester Fortress. We received a report that Jun Chester not only severely injured his uncle but also killed his father!” he continued. “In addition, many antiques stored in Chester Fortress have been smashed by Jun Chester!”

This middle-aged man was none other than Mark Sutton, the head of the Dirtmouth Special Service Agency and one of Blake Charlton’s disciples. The people of this city usually called him the Maverick of Dirtmouth.

Now, he suddenly told Blake Charlton that Jun Chester had committed such heinous crimes. Blake Charlton couldn’t help but widen his eyes, his emotions becoming extremely complicated. Could it be that the “Lord Chester” he hadn’t seen for seven years had become a notorious villain?

He had already heard that Jun Chester had been captured by an organization called Cinder Chapel. He had disappeared for seven years, and now that he had returned, could he have become a massive threat?

As Blake Charlton thought of this, his heart raced, and his voice trembled, “Find Jun Chester, I want to speak with him personally!” But just as he finished speaking, a cold voice came from outside the Harding family’s door.

“Where are the Hardings!”

Everyone looked in unison, gasping in shock. For they saw “Lord Chester” Jun Chester, standing at the doorway.
