LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Upon hearing these words, Adele was completely dumbfounded. She never expected that the stablehand who usually followed Clive would actually listen to the words of this lackey behind her. That stablehand was the top expert of the Lone Family. Besides Clive’s words, he wouldn’t listen to anyone else. So why would he obey the commands of this lackey behind her so obediently?

Only now did Adele realize that she was surrounded from all sides.

“Clive! You old thief! Are you planning to betray us? Come out! I’m asking you!” Adele couldn’t help but shout in panic.

From the kitchen, Clive’s laughter echoed. “Apologies, Princess Seventeen. I am currently occupied attending to my young master. I don’t have time to talk to you.”

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Adele fall silent, but everyone in the mansion did as well.

Young master? Clive referred to the young man in the hemp clothes as…

Young master?

In an instant, all eyes focused on Jun.

At the same time, the middle-aged woman from this station not far away had already brought someone over. In the blink of an eye, Adele was bound and gagged with a piece of white cloth shoved into her cherry-like mouth.

“Ugh! Ugh, ugh, ugh!!!” Adele was rendered speechless, glaring angrily at Jun.

At this moment, Adele probably guessed Jun’s identity. He was most likely from the Chester Ancient Clan. However, despite Adele figuring this out, all she could emit were unintelligible sounds.

Just then, Clive emerged from the kitchen with two bowls of freshly cooked noodles, followed by two kitchen maids carrying various condiments for the noodles.

Simultaneously, someone had placed a long table in the middle of the courtyard.

“Please have a seat,” Clive said with a smile, gesturing for Jun to take a seat behind the long table.

Jun naturally obliged and sat down without hesitation.

At that moment, except for Adele, who was tightly bound, everyone else in the courtyard knelt down, bowing their heads.

But Jun casually spoke, “I don’t have such strict rules for my own people. You may all rise.”

The crowd then stood up.

Jun glanced at Clive and instructed, “You may also take a seat.”

Clive chuckled and sat beside Jun.

Seeing this scene, Adele, who was still bound, panicked and somehow managed to spit out the white cloth from her mouth. She glared at Clive and cursed loudly, “You old dog from the Chester Ancient Clan!!!”

But Clive paid no heed to their past friendship. With a flick of his hand, he sent a wave of energy into Adele’s chest.

Adele suddenly coughed up blood.

However, Jun looked at Clive and calmly said, “Let’s eat.”

Only then did Clive refrain from reprimanding Adele any further.

Adele, in a state of panic, shouted towards the direction of Imperial City, “Mallory! Come and save me!”

Yet, there was no response from the direction of Imperial City.

Jun took a bite of noodles and calmly uttered a sentence to Adele, “Mallory is already dead.”

Adele exclaimed in disbelief, “That’s impossible!”

But as soon as those words left her mouth, a flash of white light appeared, and the Dragon-Slaying Blade was pinned right in front of Adele.

At the sight of the Dragon-Slaying Blade, Adele fell silent once again.

This is…

The Dragon-Slaying Blade?

“Who are you?”

Adele trembled as she looked at Jun, her tone filled with fear.

Although Adele appeared headstrong, she was not a foolish woman.

In that instant of seeing the Dragon-Slaying Blade, she immediately understood.

The envoy her father sent to Mount Emei was likely met with an accident!

Otherwise…

How could the Dragon-Slaying Blade have fallen into someone else’s hands?

Jun ignored Adele and continued eating his noodles. Only after finishing, he asked Adele a question.

“You must be familiar with the people in the Imperial City, right?”

Adele suddenly calmed down, staring at Jun intently, and uttered a sentence.

“You are Jun, the scum of the Chester Ancient Clan!”

Jun raised an eyebrow.

“I didn’t expect you to know my name.”

Adele persisted.

“Once you set foot on the Island of the Five Emperors, you will undoubtedly meet your doom! Release me immediately! Otherwise, my father will not spare you!”

Jun chuckled.

“It seems you still haven’t grasped the situation.”

Adele sneered.

“I think it’s you who hasn’t grasped the situation! Every day at noon, I will send news about the Lone Manor to the Imperial City. If my father doesn’t receive any updates from me for a day, he will consume a Grand Xuan Pill!”

“And that Grand Xuan Pill is refined using the corpses of 172 remnants from your Chester Ancient Clan. Furthermore, my father still has someone in his possession, a person named Kayla, from your Chester Ancient Clan!”

As these words came out, both Jun and Clive fell silent.

Kayla, who had disappeared years ago…

Was actually in Casey’s hands!

Coincidences do happen!

At this critical moment, within the depths of the inner palace, a young woman suddenly rushed over, her face in panic, and quietly said something to Clive.

“Something has happened!”

Clive frowned.

“What happened?”

The young woman nervously reported to Clive.

“Luza has taken Margaret away, and there is news from the Imperial City that the city wall patroller, Mallory, has been killed by the young master! At this moment, it seems that the Imperial City is organizing a massacre, aiming to kill Margaret!”

Upon hearing this, Clive was furious.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Idiot! Can’t even keep an eye on a person!”

The young woman’s expression turned troubled.

“Luza used the Life and Death Needle, stimulating all her hidden potential, which is how she took the person to the Imperial City! Now it seems that the people in the Imperial City already know that the young master has arrived on the Island of the Five Emperors!”

Just as Clive was about to say something, Jun suddenly stood up and calmly said,

“Take this Adele and go to the Imperial City to make an exchange.”

But Clive said,

“Young master, hold on! After Luza used the Life and Death Needle, she will undoubtedly die within three days. However, she still did it. This matter is very suspicious!”

Jun sneered.

“After I arrived on the Island of the Five Emperors, I haven’t seen the City Lord of White Emperor City, Shannon. I estimate that this matter is related to her!”

Clive was stunned and amazed.

“Could it be that you and I, master and servant, have thought of the same thing?”

Jun narrowed his eyes.

“It’s highly possible that Shannon is secretly scheming, making me fight against the people on this Island of the Five Emperors. She will benefit from it! But our priority is to save people! This trip to the Imperial City is not just about saving Margaret, but also my Aunt Kayla!”

Little did they expect that as soon as these words were spoken,

A person suddenly walked in from outside the inner palace gate.

This person wore a blue robe and held a dragon-patterned spear.

It was Jun’s uncle, Fabian.

He walked in with firm steps and hoarsely said,

“Take me with you!”
