LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

In the room, aside from the Supreme Lord’s family, there was also the family of Riordan Wells. The couple, Don and his wife, being Lyvia’s adoptive parents, were naturally present. They were all stunned when they heard Jun Chester reprimanding the Supreme Lord with a tone of blame. Especially Don, whose eyes were about to drop to the ground. What status could his son-in-law possess, that he dared to speak to the Supreme Lord of Lordran in such a way?

The family of Riordan Wells was also on edge. They had not expected Jun Chester to treat the sovereign of a nation in such a manner. But what shocked them even more was that, after hearing Jun Chester’s reproach, not a trace of anger could be seen on Supreme Lord’s face. Instead, he looked self-reproachful.

After all these years, he hadn’t noticed Ian Mills’s ambitious nature. He had been too careless. After a moment of silence, Supreme Lord spoke softly. “I’ll go ahead. I’ll personally rush to Mycintia to investigate this matter. If I can’t clear it up within three days, I’ll resign!”

Jun Chester responded indifferently. “You go back to the capital and purge the Mills family first. As for the matter of Mycintia, send Phoenix. Her physique is extraordinary. Even if she encounters Ian Mills or the masked woman from today, she should be able to retreat unscathed!”

Supreme Lord was somewhat skeptical upon hearing this. He couldn’t believe that, in Jun Chester’s eyes, Phoenix Myers’ potential in martial arts would be so terrifying. Even Phoenix Myers herself didn’t believe she had such terrifying potential. Could she really come out unscathed if she encountered Ian Mills and the masked woman from earlier?

Meanwhile, Lyvia had already gotten up from the bed. Jun Chester waved his hand. The Supreme Lord and others left, leaving only Jun Chester and Lyvia in the room.

Jun Chester, looking at the newly awakened Lyvia, expressed his guilt. “I’m sorry, I failed to protect you.”

Lyvia looked at Jun Chester, raised her hand to touch his cheek, and smiled lightly, “I’m fine.”

Jun Chester smiled bitterly, “Today was supposed to be our big day, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”

Lyvia was perplexed, “What big day?”

Without saying a word, Jun Chester helped Lyvia up and took her to the viewing platform on the top floor of Ocean Hall.

The scene before them was breathtakingly beautiful. The night had already fallen. The moon was rising above the sea. Against the backdrop of the night, countless shooting stars streaked across the sky, falling towards the sea. Amid the meteor shower, a giant rose was suspended in the night sky. Its red petals and green leaves, although illusory, seemed incredibly lifelike.

Lyvia stared at this scene dumbfounded. Tears fell. When she turned her gaze back to Jun Chester, her beautiful face was wet with tears. Jun Chester reached out and wiped the tears from Lyvia’s face, and began to speak softly. “This was the proposal ceremony I prepared for you, but unfortunately…”

Before Jun Chester could finish, Lyvia suddenly interrupted. “I want the ring!”

Jun Chester was taken aback, looking embarrassed. “Let’s wait until another day. Someone died here today, it’s a bit unlucky.”

Lyvia started to whine while crying. “I don’t care, I want the ring.”

Jun Chester scratched his nose and then took out a black brocade box from his pocket. Inside was a stunning pink diamond ring. Lyvia had already extended her slender hand, her lips slightly parted. “Help me put it on.”

Jun Chester made a face. “I haven’t even proposed to you yet. Are you willing to marry…”

Lyvia interrupted him with a coquettish urgency. “Hurry up and put it on!”Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

As a result, Jun Chester skipped the process of going down on one knee, and quickly put the diamond ring on Lyvia.

Jun Chester took a deep breath and asked again. “Lyvia, are you willing to…”

Before Jun Chester could finish, Lyvia had already tipped her toes and kissed him on the lips. Jun Chester was stunned. This… this wasn’t his fault.

Half an hour later, Lyvia was completely dazed from the kisses, her lips a bit swollen. When she left the room, she was shy and blushing, just like a newlywed bride. The meteor shower outside was still falling, and the citizens of Dirtmouth wouldn’t have a peaceful night. The whole city was buzzing. Each family was discussing who had the means to create such a dream-like scene. Only a select few knew that this scene was created by the world’s top special effects team at the request of Jun Chester.

In the meantime, PhoenixMyers had already set off for Mycintia under the cloak of night. Looking back at the star rain over the sea, she felt a bitter taste in her heart.

On the top floor of Ocean Hall, Jun Chester and Lyvia took their seats together. In front of Supreme Lord and others, Bruce Wells kneeled before Jun Chester and Lyvia.

“Master!”

Once Bruce Wells finished his ceremonial bow, Jun Chester and Lyvia each took a sip from the tea he offered. Then, Bruce Wells presented a small gift.

Jun Chester didn’t look at it, but set it aside and instructed Colbert Osborn who was standing nearby. “Bring the gift I prepared for Bruce.”

Colbert Osborn immediately brought a long box. When opened, it contained a gleaming long sword. As Jun Chester held it in his hand, the sword quivered slightly, emitting a faint humming sound.

Jun Chester looked at Bruce Wells and began to speak slowly, “This is the Sword of Lambert. Before I turned sixteen, I used this sword to defeat the world’s top fighters. Today, I present this sword to you. I hope you can take this as encouragement from me. In the future, cultivate your mind and body to be better than the best!”

Bruce Wells, emotionally moved, accepted the Sword of Lambert, his voice trembling a bit, “Bruce will never fail your expectation, Master!”

Jun Chester smiled, “Alright, this is just a formality. You’ve just recovered from a severe illness. In the future, when practicing, don’t overexert yourself. Taking care of your body is the most important.”

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the room, except for Colbert Osborn, was filled with smiles. Colbert Osborn’s feelings, however, were extremely complicated. Although he was also a disciple of Jun Chester, he felt like he lacked presence. He never experienced a ceremony like this.

Jun Chester seemed to see through Colbert Osborn’s thoughts and cheerfully instructed, “Colbert, from now on, you will accompany Bruce in his martial arts training. Don’t hold back, use your killer moves, beat him hard! And don’t belittle yourself. You are the catfish in my pond. Without you, these little kids who are about to become dragons are nothing. With you, the effect will naturally show.”

After hearing this, Colbert Osborn turned and left, leaving behind a single sentence. “Master, I’m going to jump into the sea. Life is unbearable. You asked me to accompany my junior brother in training. I’d rather die.”

Jun Chester burst into laughter.

After the banquet, Jun Chester and Lyvia bid goodbye to everyone. But just as they were about to get in the car to go home, they saw all the members of the Knowles family, led by Norman Knowles, kneeling in a line in front of the Ocean Hall.

Each and every one of them looked as if they had been struck by frost, their faces full of humiliation. Especially Don’s father, Norman Knowles. He was kneeling there with his head down, looking like a criminal. He did this with no other intention but to apologize to Jun Chester in front of everyone, hoping to force Jun Chester to forgive the entire Knowles family.

Norman Knowles didn’t believe that Jun Chester, in front of all the important people of Dirtmouth, would still want to kick a dog when it’s down. That would make him look like he had no magnanimity. As long as Jun Chester spared the Knowles family for the sake of face, it would be a fortunate outcome in their misfortune. At the very least, they would all be able to survive.

However, a single sentence from Jun Chester made the Knowles family feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave!
