LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Was it a dream?

Or…

Was it my imagination?

Jun had disappeared for over three months. How could he suddenly reappear?

While Samantha was in a panic, thinking about all this, Jun’s voice reached her ears once again.

“What’s this? It’s already this late, and you still want to negotiate with me?”

Samantha trembled and quickly spoke.

“Phoenix Pavilion!”

Not only did Jun hear these three words, but Harrison, who was on his horse, also heard them.

However, Harrison mistakenly thought that Samantha was referring to him with those words.

He sneered.

“What, you want me to accompany you to your chambers and spend the night with you? Sorry, I made a promise to my brothers to make you, Samantha, suffer humiliation, so… keep undressing, keep crawling!”

At this moment, Samantha was left with nothing but a long gown and a set of undergarments.

If she undressed any further, she would truly become a “bitch.”

It was then that Jun’s voice once again reached Samantha’s ears.

“If Kayla is unharmed, I will save you. Otherwise… your life and death have nothing to do with me!”

Upon hearing this, Samantha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But she remained silent.

Looking again at the corner of the city wall, Jun’s figure had already disappeared.

Deep within the Imperial City.

Phoenix Pavilion.

Jun’s figure suddenly appeared in this place.

However,

While the aura enveloped the entire Phoenix Pavilion, Jun found no one inside.

Nevertheless,

Jun was not in a hurry. He quickly entered the Phoenix Pavilion and appeared inside Samantha’s bedroom.

Based on the topographic map of the Island of the Five Emperors he had obtained on Emei, Jun was already familiar with all the buildings within the Imperial City!

He even knew that there was a secret chamber inside Samantha’s bedroom.

And the passage to that secret chamber was beneath the phoenix bed.

Sure enough,

Jun arrived at Samantha’s bedside and lightly tapped the bedboard, confirming there was indeed space below.

Without further delay, Jun lifted the bedboard, followed the secret passage, and swiftly entered.

At the end of the secret passage, there was a black stone door.

Pushing it open, Jun saw a magnificent palace inside.

And it was brightly lit.

In the next moment, Jun quickly moved and stood in the middle of the palace.

It was at this moment

that a woman’s voice came from deep within the palace.

“Is there something important keeping you busy? Why did it take so long for you to come?”

As soon as the words fell,

Jun saw a woman dressed in a light purple gown walking out through a veil on the left side of the palace’s end.

And this woman’s appearance was somewhat similar to Ursa’s.

Jun couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Could it be…

Is this his eighth aunt, Kayla?

If she was Kayla, how come she had no injuries at all?

On the contrary,

Her every move and gesture resembled that of an aristocratic lady.

At the same time, the beautiful woman naturally looked at Jun. With surprise on her delicate face, she blurted out,

“Who are you?”

Jun didn’t rush to reveal his identity but instead asked in return.

“Who are you?”

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of annoyance.

“Did Samantha send you?”

Jun remained silent.

The woman continued.

“Could it be that you’re Casey’s servant?”

Jun raised an eyebrow.

It seemed that this woman was unaware of what had happened outside.

After a moment of silence, Jun suddenly inquired.

“Do you know Fabian and Ursa?”

Upon hearing this, the woman froze in place, looking stunned.

Then she panicked and said, “What… What are you talking about? I… I don’t understand.”

Jun continued, “Are you Kayla? Ursa’s mother?”

The woman became even more flustered and replied, “No, no, I don’t know anyone named Ursa, and I certainly don’t know anyone named Kayla. I… I am just a servant of Samanthab’s.”

Jun persisted, “I’m Jun, I’m Eric’s son, and I’ve come to rescue you.”

The woman was struck with disbelief.

Based on her reaction, Jun confirmed that she was indeed Kayla, but he was somewhat confused.

Had Kayla been living in this place all these years?

Just then, the woman hesitated and said, “Are you… Are you really my family? Are you truly Eric’s son?”

Jun nodded and suddenly asked, “Didn’t that wicked Samanthab harm you?”

Before he could delve deeper into his thoughts, a familiar voice came from behind him.

It was Harrison, who had previously humiliated Samanthab in front of the Taiji Hall. “Lord Ben, I never expected that this wretched woman followed Casey for so many years and never even let him touch her with a finger. But if you dare deceive Lord Ben, the consequences… You won’t be able to bear them!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Samanthab chuckled and said, “Harrison, there’s no need to beg for mercy on my behalf. Just make sure your methods aren’t too cruel!”

Harrison burst into laughter. “Rest assured, if you satisfy me, I might even treat you as the lady of the Island of the Five Emperors after I become its lord!”

Samanthab didn’t say anything more, only letting out a laugh. Meanwhile, Kayla, who was in the underground palace with Jun, heard the voice and immediately ran towards the entrance of the palace with a tense expression on her face.

This scene left Jun bewildered.

What was happening?

Without delay, Jun blocked Kayla’s path and furrowed his brow.

“What are you doing?”

Kayla persisted, “I can’t let Samanthab be humiliated by others!”

But as soon as she spoke, Harrison’s scolding voice came from behind Jun. “Who are these rats?”

Immediately after, Harrison appeared behind Jun.

Harrison was taken aback when he saw Jun’s back and Kayla’s figure.

But it was at that moment that Jun turned around to face Harrison and straightforwardly asked, “Are Clive and the others in your hands?”

Harrison coldly retorted, “Who are you?”

As soon as those words were spoken, Samanthab’s laughter came from behind Harrison. “His name is Jun! He’s the one who will kill you!”

Saying that, Samanthab waved her hand, and the stone doors of the palace swiftly closed.

At the same time, Harrison abruptly turned around and returned to Samanthab’s side, grabbing her neck with his bare hands.

In a chilling tone, he said, “You deceitful puppet! You tried to trick me! I’ll strangle you!”
