LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

As soon as these words were spoken, a chill seemed to envelop the entire hall.

Although the lady’s tone was alluring, it couldn’t hide her intent to kill Clive.

She wanted Clive to lay bare his so-called loyalty, in other words, to make him take his own life on the spot.

Clive knelt on the ground, not daring to make a move.

The lady let out a cold snort.

“You dare not?!”

Clive remained silent.

The lady abruptly turned around and slapped Clive’s old face once again.

Smack!

The force of the slap sent Clive’s body flying three meters away.

“Do you dare or not?”

Clive finally spoke again.

“As heaven bears witness, if this old slave ever deceives Madam, may I be struck by five thunderbolts on the same day!”

The lady’s expression changed like flipping through a book, and she smiled.

“To be honest, have you hidden any remnants of the Chester Ancient Clan in your mansion?”

Clive kowtowed.

“You may send people to search!”

The lady narrowed her eyes, observing Clive for a while before saying with a smile.

“If you hand over the remnants of the Chester Ancient Clan, tonight, in this hall, you can do whatever you want to me!”

Clive trembled with fear.

“This old slave dares not!”

Jun, who was watching this scene from afar in the hall, couldn’t help but twitch his face.

This woman…

She’s quite audacious!

But…

It should bea bluff!

This woman appears to be a lady at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it’s just a facade.

Looking at her brows, nose bridge, and philtrum, it seems she hasn’t been touched by a man.

She has likely trained in a purely Yin-based martial art, which is why she appears like a lady.

However, it was at this moment that the lady pointed to the dragon-headed golden chair on the dais and smiled provocatively at Clive.

“I changed clothes there before you arrived. On ordinary days, when no one is in the hall, I don’t even bother to wear clothes. Otherwise… would you like me to give you a performance?”

Clive prostrated on the ground, not daring to lift his head, and his voice trembled.

“It’s Shannon who slandered this old man! There truly are no remnants of the Chester Ancient Clan in my mansion!”

The lady scoffed.

“I call them remnants, but you still see them as people?”

Clive immediately changed his words.

“Remnants! They are remnants! Remnants of the Chester Ancient Clan! Why didn’t they die cleanly back then? They’ve caused me this unjust suffering!”

The lady approached Clive, squinted her eyes, and inquired.

“If the remnants of the Chester Ancient Clan aren’t in your mansion, does that mean you’ve arranged them outside? I’ll give you one last chance! Speak the truth, and I’ll ensure the survival of your Hampton lineage. Otherwise, you will die, and every member of your Hampton family will die!”

Clive still maintained an expression of being wronged and spoke in a deep voice.

“This old slave has been wronged!”

The lady chuckled.

“Whether or not you’ve been wronged, I know in my heart!”

Speaking of this, the beautiful woman suddenly threw a pill in front of Clive and commanded, “Be loyal and don’t dig! Then swallow this pill!”

Clive didn’t hesitate for a moment. He immediately picked up the pill in front of him and swallowed it without hesitation.

The beautiful woman squinted at Clive for a while and smiled, “You may leave now.”

Clive bowed and thanked her, then turned and headed towards the exit of the hall, without even looking back.

Just as Clive’s feet left the hall, the tall doors suddenly swung shut with a bang.

Far above in the outer hall, Jun saw this scene and furrowed his brow slightly, silently speculating. Why did they close the doors? Could it be… they’ve discovered me?

At the same time, inside the Taiji Hall, the old man in the red robe, who had previously retreated to the inner hall, appeared once again beside the beautiful woman and asked, “You just let him go like that?”

The beautiful woman replied coldly, “He’s like a stone in a pit, both smelly and hard. I doubt we would get anything out of him anyway.”

The old man in the red robe suddenly chuckled and asked, “Could it be that you’re avoiding even our Infinite Ultimate True Skill?”

The beautiful woman cursed, “Damn you!”

The old man in the red robe chuckled, “After all, I’m your father!”

Before the words could sink in, the beautiful woman abruptly turned around and slapped the old man in the red robe with a resounding slap.

However, the old man seemed accustomed to it and sighed, “Such an unfilial daughter.”

The beautiful woman spoke in a cold voice, “The Blood Pellets I gave Clive will intensify the toxins in his body. In three days, he will undoubtedly die.”

The old man in the red robe was stunned and asked, “So?”

The resentful beautiful woman said, “Starting now, keep an eye on him for me. Within three days, he will show some activity.”

The old man in the red robe chuckled, “Understood.”

Just as the beautiful woman was about to say something, the old woman known as Granny Jimenez suddenly walked out from the inner hall and said to the beautiful woman, “Madam, it’s time for the island lord to take his medicine.”

Disgust filled the beautiful woman’s face as she glared at the old woman and through gritted teeth said, “Can’t he take it himself?”

The old woman sighed, “That medicine is bitter. For years, whenever he takes a few sips, you have to take a few sips too. If this habit suddenly changes, he will kill someone.”

The beautiful woman clenched her teeth and said, “Once I find the Infinite Ultimate True Skill, I will skin that bastard alive!”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Despite her words, the beautiful woman still walked towards the inner hall. After she disappeared into the main hall, the old man in the red robe stood in silence for a long time before turning and leaving the hall.

At that moment, Jun was standing by the window outside the main hall.

Hearing the sound of the red-robed elder opening the door, Jun blinked and deliberately made a noise.

At that moment, the red-robed elder suddenly looked over.

“Who?”

As he spoke, the red-robed elder swiftly moved towards Jun.

However, Jun disappeared from the spot and headed towards the east side of the palace.

Swift as light!

The red-robed elder was no pushover and immediately followed.

In less than ten seconds, Jun’s figure appeared outside the eastern wall of the Imperial City, coming to a halt.

Naturally, the red-robed elder also stopped, coldly watching Jun’s back and spoke in a chilly voice.

“Who exactly are you?”

Only then did Jun turn around to face the red-robed elder.

The red-robed elder clearly saw Jun’s appearance and was greatly astonished.

“Russell? You… weren’t you going to Emei? How did you come back so quickly?”

Jun imitated Russell’s voice and told a lie.

“On this trip to Emei, everything that needed to be done has been done, and moreover, I have gained extraordinary benefits! Otherwise, how could I be much faster than your steps, old sir?”

The red-robed elder widened his eyes.

“You… Did you refine Noelle?”

Jun smiled and remained silent.

The red-robed elder’s eyes widened even further.

“You refined Jun?”

Jun smiled and said,

“I’m curious, how did you and your wife come to know Jun?”

The red-robed elder snorted coldly.

“Granny Jimenez is your great aunt. Didn’t she tell you about these matters? Otherwise, why would she have helped you become the most important envoy among the Five Element Envoys…”

Just as he mentioned this, the red-robed elder suddenly realized something, glaring angrily at Jun.

“No, you’re not Russell!”

Jun chuckled.

“I’m not Russell, then who could I be?”

The red-robed elder, not knowing what he had thought of, suddenly moved his toes, intending to return to the Imperial City.

But it was in that instant…

Jun disappeared from the spot and simultaneously attacked with his sword.

After the blade passed by…

The red-robed elder met a tragic death!

Jun stood beside his corpse, sighed, and muttered to himself.

“I had hoped to extract something from your mouth, but now it seems I can only focus on Clive!”

With those words, Jun’s large hand descended.

An invisible aura enveloped the red-robed elder.

Boom!

The red-robed elder, along with his clothes and body, all turned into blood splatters!

The next moment.

Jun disappeared from the spot.

Soon, he arrived outside the central gate of the Imperial City.

As for Clive, he had just arrived here, but as soon as he stepped out of the gate, he fell to the ground with a thud!

He coughed up a mouthful of black blood!
