LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

Upon hearing these words, Jun’s expression immediately grew more serious.

He never expected that Old Martins, who once provided him with a meal, had been diagnosed with cancer!

Fortunately, he was still alive!

A mere cancer was nothing to worry about!

However, upon reflection, Jun remembered that he had entrusted the Pure Yang Jade Refinement to Old Martins years ago, which should have made him immune to all diseases. So why did he get cancer?

Puzzled, Jun urgently asked, “Which hospital is Old Martins in?”

Lorelei immediately replied, “Green City… no, South Capital Court!”

Jun frowned. “Years ago, when I saw Old Martins, he was in good health. His lifestyle and diet were very healthy, and I had checked his pulse, there were no signs of illness. How could he have gotten cancer?”

Lorelei sighed. “Who can say for sure? Maybe it’s because in recent years, Old Martins has been too worried about his family matters and has developed a habit of heavy drinking.”

Jun frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

Lorelei lamented, “Old Martins’ son is notorious for his misdeeds. Over the years, he’s committed many wrongdoings. Most likely, Old Martins’ illness is due to having such a wayward son.”

Jun was puzzled. “That’s not right. I’ve met his son before, named Drogo Martins. He’s a…”

Lorelei interrupted, “You’re talking about Old Martins’ eldest son. Besides him, Old Martins has a younger son named Floyd Martins, who is now the new manager of this Antique Pavilion!”

“On the surface, this Antique Pavilion looks prosperous, but it has been rotten from the inside for a long time. Many of the antiques in the store are fake, and the genuine ones have been sold off by Floyd!”

Jun took another look at the display shelves in the store.

Indeed.

Eight out of ten items were fake.

Lorelei continued, “Moreover, Floyd has been planning to sell this Antique Pavilion recently. On the surface, it’s to pay for Old Martins’ medical treatment, but I suspect there’s more to it!”

Jun remained silent for a moment before saying calmly, “Let’s go to the hospital to see Old Martins first. To be honest, I came to find Old Martins to retrieve something I had entrusted to him years ago. But now it seems… it might be more troublesome than I thought.”

Lorelei was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

Who was Jun?

And who was Old Martins?

Jun was the Lord Chester of Lordran. How could he have something entrusted to Old Martins?

While Lorelei was still puzzled, a commotion erupted outside the door.

“Barnaby, what’s going on? Didn’t you say there was an ancient sword in this Antique Pavilion? Why are you kneeling here?”

The speaker was none other than Lord Bates, the so-called overlord of South Capital mentioned by Barnaby!

And accompanying Lord Bates was another person.

This person…

His name was Woody Bates.

He was Lord Bates’ cousin!

Because Woody held a significant position in Mount Emei and had previously followed Li Qiangang to dominate the Cultivation world!

With such a background, Mortimer Bates, known as Lord Bates, became arrogant and domineering.

Over the years, he committed many wrongdoings in the southern part of Lordran without Woody’s knowledge and was once the underground king of South Capital!

Now, the former Green City had been renamed South Capital.

With experts everywhere.

Mortimer naturally restrained himself a lot.

But despite this, Mortimer still hadn’t given up on his gray businesses.

He just kept them hidden from Woody.

Seeing Woody accompanying Mortimer, a glimmer of hope appeared on Barnaby’s ashen face.

Previously, Barnaby had the fortune to accompany Mortimer to Mount Emei once!

He had witnessed Woody’s prowess!

And Woody, being a super figure in the Cultivation world, wouldn’t care about people from the lower world!

It was said that his master was the senior brother of Pinkriver Temple in Mount Emei!

He wouldn’t fear those bigwigs from Lordran’s officialdom like ordinary martial artists!

However, considering that the head of South Capital was nearby, Barnaby cautiously and briefly explained the previous situation to Mortimer.

Mortimer had never seen Jun’s prowess. After hearing the whole story, he glared fiercely at Barnaby.

“I’ll deal with you later for tricking me into coming here! But for your sister’s sake, I’ll help her out! Damn it! Just one Jun scared you like this? Don’t ever say you’re with me again…”

Before Mortimer could finish his sentence.

Woody, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised his hand and struck down.

With a bang!

Mortimer’s shoulder was instantly smashed into a bloody mess, and he was driven into the ground.

This sudden scene almost scared Barnaby to death as he knelt on the ground. What…

What was going on?

Why did Woody suddenly strike his own cousin so heavily?

Moreover, Mortimer Bates, known as Lord Bates, was also a Cultivation expert whose punch could shatter a boulder. But now he was driven into the ground by Woody?

Was half of his body crippled by Woody?

What was happening?

As Barnaby pondered this, Woody struck again.

A slap landed on Barnaby’s face.

With a smack!

Barnaby’s face was directly torn apart!

The scene!

Fell into dead silence!

Everyone around widened their eyes.

Why?

Why did this happen?

Barnaby was slapped ten meters away, half of his head numb.

Mortimer was driven into the ground and couldn’t even speak for a while.

Both were dumbfounded.

Especially Mortimer, who couldn’t believe he was beaten like this!

What did this mean?

His own cousin!

Calling someone grandfather one after another!

Why?

At this moment, Jun and Lorelei walked out of the store.

Woody didn’t even dare to look at Jun. He knelt on the ground with a thud.

He started slapping his own face.

Without saying a word.

Continuously slapping his face.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Jun coldly looked at Woody. He didn’t need to ask to know why Woody acted this way!

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

Woody still said nothing and continued slapping himself.

Jun glanced at Mortimer who was embedded in the ground.

“Is he the so-called Lord Bates?”

Woody nodded.

“My cousin’s son. I didn’t discipline him well. But since things have come to this point, I accept responsibility!”

Upon hearing this, both Barnaby and Mortimer looked as if they couldn’t die in peace.

Woody referred to himself as grandson in front of Jun?

Jun calmly said, “I’ll give you three days. South Capital must be clean!”

Woody kowtowed and said, “Understood!”

Jun waved his hand dismissively. “Get lost!”

Woody kowtowed again. “Thank you, grandfather!”

Jun ignored Woody and said to Lorelei beside him, “Let’s go to the hospital. Take Hadwin’s car!”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Lorelei followed Jun to Hadwin’s vehicle.

Hadwin, who had been waiting in the car all along, suddenly got out and personally opened the back door for Jun.

Then Hadwin called down the driver and personally drove Jun to South Capital Court.

Leaving everyone in chaos.

The head of South Capital…

Came all the way to Antique Pavilion just to drive for Jun?
