LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Upon hearing this, Jane felt as if she had swallowed a tranquillizer.

However, Jane could no longer withstand the torment from her grave internal injuries.

The rescue whistle by her pale lips slowly slipped away, and her eyes gradually closed as well.

Just then, Jun Chester reached out and pointed at her brow.

Gently speaking,

“Sleep, when you wake, all the pain will be gone.”

As he spoke, Jun Chester’s fingertip glowed as he injected a profound energy into Jane’s body.

At the same time, a rope descended from above.

It was the rope Lyvia had lowered down.

Lyvia called out from the top of the well,

“Dear?”

Jun Chester looked up at the rope and used his energy to project his voice.

“Pull Jane up in ten minutes. She is gravely wounded and I need to heal her!”

Hearing this, Lyvia immediately responded,

“Okay, be careful down there.”

Ten minutes later, Jun Chester had mostly healed Jane’s injuries.

However, Jun Chester did not immediately leave the bottom of the well.

Instead, he wrapped the rope around Jane’s wrists, then said to Lyvia above,

“Pull Jane up first. I sense something strange down here so I’ll dive in to investigate.”

Indeed.

While Jun Chester was healing Jane earlier,

he had done so by depleting his own internal energy reserves.

But Jun Chester noticed that

during Jane’s treatment, wisps of aura seemed to rise up from the well water.

Like small fish noticing bait on the water’s surface, they all surged towards Jun Chester’s body.

This caused Jun Chester’s energy expenditure for healing Jane

to not diminish whatsoever. On the contrary, he vaguely felt it increasing substantially!

What was going on?

Could there really be a vein of Nanite Stones down there?

Thinking thus,

Jun Chester sent Jane up before directly diving into the water himself.

It was pitch black underwater.

But as Jun Chester sank deeper, the aura attracted to him grew increasingly dense.

It felt like walking through fog –

from the initial thin mist, it gradually evolved into thick fog enshrouding his body.

Moreover, this feeling grew stronger and stronger!

Jun Chester didn’t know how far down he had swum, but the bottom seemed perpetually out of reach!

Yet the fog-like aura around him seemed to undulate nonstop.

Although Jun Chester had opened all his meridians with Nanite Energy, he still struggled to fully absorb the aura!

In the end,

Jun Chester had no choice but to dissolve all the needles in his meridians. With the mindset of absorbing as much as came, he continued absorbing the surrounding aura. But still…

Only four words surfaced in his mind.

Inexhaustible!

Jun Chester thus plunged ceaselessly into the dark depths,

Probing while absorbing the aura around him.

After some unknown amount of time, Jun Chester’s body finally went still in the dark waters!

Yet he still hadn’t reached the bottom of this ancient well!

However, Jun Chester’s body…

Seemed unable to bear any more aura.

Having no other option,

Jun Chester could only stop.

After another unknown stretch of time, Jun Chester finally surfaced.

At the same time,

heavy rain now fell over the entire capital.

When Jun Chester emerged from the well and stood on the ground,

his whole being seemed to have changed somewhat compared to before. The white streak in his hair had turned black.

Jun Chester had also grown a bit taller.

At this time Lyvia was sitting on a stone stool under the canopy next to a stone table.

Seeing Jun Chester’s transformation,

she couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Dear, you…”

Jun Chester asked in puzzlement,

“What is it?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Unable to wait, Lyvia walked up to Jun Chester and gestured at their height difference.

Previously, Lyvia was nose-level with Jun Chester.

Now, standing before Jun Chester, Lyvia’s forehead only reached his neck.

Only then did Jun Chester realize the changes to his body.

His face also revealed some bewilderment.

He couldn’t help but glance back at the old well.

His eyes were full of confusion.

Lyvia also looked towards the old well following Jun Chester’s gaze. She couldn’t help but ask,

“What was the situation at the bottom of the well?”

Jun Chester shook his head.

“I don’t know, I didn’t reach the bottom.”

Lyvia asked in surprise.

“Then what happened?”

Jun Chester shook his head again.

“Nothing else happened. I feel like the aura in this well is countless times denser than under the Forum!”

Lyvia opened then closed her lips, as if wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Jun Chester took a deep breath and softly said,

“In any case, it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.”

Lyvia nodded.

Jun Chester looked around and asked,

“Where is Jane?”

Lyvia replied,

“I helped her to the bedroom to rest.”

Just as Jun Chester was about to head for the bedroom,

an old man in robes appeared outside the mansion’s front gate.

This person was none other than Amir.

Through the mansion’s gate, Amir easily spotted Jun Chester and Lyvia.

Having seen Jun Chester as a child,

Amir had not seen him again after he grew up.

But this didn’t seem to prevent Amir from recognizing Jun Chester’s identity.

Seeing Jun Chester under the canopy in the yard, Amir walked up to the gate while laughing and said,

“You little bastard seem quite capable. When my master and I came earlier, we didn’t see you. After sending my master back, I went to the dispensary again but still didn’t find you. You really sent me running around!”

Hearing this, Jun Chester’s gaze turned icy.

“So you mean you’re the one who injured Jane?”

Amir looked slightly surprised and continued walking through the gate without stopping.

Moreover, after entering,

he turned and closed the gate behind him.

He even latched it shut.

Only then did Amir look back at Jun Chester with the same smile. He slowly said,

“Injured? If nothing unexpected happened, that wench should be dead by now.”

Having said this, Amir added with hands behind his back,

“But you needn’t take it to heart. I came to ask you some questions. If you answer them all, I might be able to act on your behalf and give you another year or two. Then we’ll see how you do and consider sparing your life. If you hem and haw, sorry, but you’ll have to die today!”

Jun Chester did not answer Amir’s questions.

Instead, he asked back,

“Who are you?”

Amir’s brows furrowed slightly.

He reached out and scooped up some rainwater from outside the canopy.

As the water landed in Amir’s palm, it condensed into a blade.

Then Amir flicked his finger at Jun Chester, saying at the same time,

“I’m the one asking questions now.”

As he spoke, the rain blade shot towards Jun Chester.

In a flash, a slit appeared out of nowhere on Jun Chester’s clothes. But his skin remained completely unharmed,

as if just a droplet of water had gently landed on him.

However, Amir believed his flicked rain blade could have pierced Jun Chester’s organs.

Thus, after attacking, Amir looked back out at the rain curtain. Casually, he added,

“Jun Chester, consider that just a small lesson for you, bastard. If you dare say one more word out of turn, I’ll make you lose your entrails yet keep you alive!”

Having said so, Amir brought his gaze back to Jun Chester.

But what Amir saw…

was not a battered Jun Chester, but rather Jun Chester looking down on him like a deity gazing upon ants!
