LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

If Samantha had not been severely injured, Harrison might not have been her opponent at all.

But now, due to the chaos in Imperial City, Samantha’s strength has greatly diminished, leaving her no room for resistance as Harrison grips her throat.

With Harrison exerting force, Samantha’s face turns purplish-red in an instant.

However, at that moment, Samantha sees a sudden flash of white light behind Harrison.

Pu!

The white light directly pierces Harrison’s back.

It is the Dragon-Slaying Blade used by Jun.

At the same time, Harrison’s facial expression freezes in that instant.

Even his eyes are about to bulge out of their sockets.

He never expected that.

As a transcendent martial arts expert, he would be effortlessly pierced through the heart by a blade.

His heart stops abruptly.

However, Harrison does not die immediately.

The real reason for Harrison’s death is Samantha suddenly taking action in front of him.

In her hand, a jade dagger suddenly appears.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

And as the dagger falls into her hand…

In an instant, Samantha swiftly slashes over a dozen dagger shadows.

Each strike, the blade of the dagger lands precisely in one spot-Harrison’s throat.

And the total time it takes for these dozen strikes is not even a second.

As if it were the blink of an eye, Harrison’s neck becomes a mess of flesh and blood!

One can even see his pale cervical vertebrae!

It seems that just a little more, and Harrison’s head would be severed!

Blood, hot as if infused with chicken blood, continuously spurts from Harrison’s wound, and crimson gushes forth from his back.

Until everything before Harrison’s eyes turns pitch black.

Harrison, the Lord of Green Emperor City on the Island of the Five Emperors, dies like this!

Before his death, only one thought flashes through Harrison’s mind.

Regret for falling for Samantha’s trap. He was foolish enough to be deceived and brought to this Phoenix Pavilion!

But Jun and Kayla see it all.

The former’s face remains cold, showing no emotional fluctuations due to Harrison’s death.

The latter stands dumbfounded in place, paralyzed by fear.

It is only when Samantha pushes Harrison’s corpse aside that Kayla finally regains her senses.

Samantha glances at Kayla before turning her gaze to Jun.

After a moment of hesitation, Samantha’s face loses all traces of seduction and adopts a formal expression as she walks towards Jun.

She stops five steps in front of Jun.

Then…

Samantha kneels down on the ground.

“Samantha, I thank Mr. Chester for saving my life!”

With those words, Samantha kowtows to Jun.

Jun remains unmoved and speaks calmly.

“It’s just a transaction, and you don’t need to feign defeat. I personally killed Mallory before, so you should hate me.”

Samantha is slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes.

At that moment, Kayla finally speaks up.

“Senior Sister Ping, what… what happened? How could Harrison be so disrespectful to you?”

Hearing Kayla’s address to Samantha, Jun frowns slightly.

He is also puzzled as to why Kayla respects Samantha so much.

Samantha says something to Kayla.

“There’s a long story behind this. Stay here for now, I have something to discuss with Mr. Chester.”

Kayla becomes even more confused.

Samantha takes a deep breath and looks at Jun again.

“Since you think I’m acting, I’ll get straight to the point. How about we make another deal?”

Jun seems to see through Samantha’s intentions with a single glance and coldly asks.

“You want me to help you escape from the enemy?”

Samantha shakes her head.

“While I don’t know where you’ve been for the past three months, I’m not naive enough to put all my hopes on you. Besides, the Twelve Heavenly Prodigies of the Island of the Five Emperors are all outside, and you are not their match. I only want you to assist me in leaving the Island of the Five Emperors!”

Jun paused and asked, “And then?”

Samanthab spoke cautiously, “During the time you were gone, both Margaret and Clive, even Fabian, have become prisoners of Harrison. I can take you to see them now, but whether we can save them or not is not my concern.”

At this point, Samanthab added, “Harrison is dead, and those people outside are watching us closely. So, our time is limited, and you need to make a quick decision!”

Jun said coldly, “Lead the way.”

Samanthab didn’t say anything more and pointed behind Jun, saying, “Leave this underground palace through the back door. Once outside, I know of a secret passage that leads to the dungeon outside the Imperial City.”

Jun hesitated for a moment, then turned to Kayla and said, “You come too.”

Kayla looked astonished and blurted out, “The dungeon? So, Fabian isn’t dead, and he’s in the dungeon outside the Imperial City?”

Samanthab nodded and Kayla’s voice trembled as she said, “What on earth is going on? Didn’t you say that Fabian died in the battle all those years ago? How is he still alive?”

Samanthab seemed reluctant to meet Kayla’s gaze and remained silent.

Jun continued, “Not only is Uncle Fabian alive, but he has been on this Island of the Five Emperors all these years. From what I know, he has been secretly investigating your whereabouts, but he never expected to find you inside the Imperial City.”

Kayla’s emotions became extremely complicated for a moment. She had been living in this underground palace for so many years, and the only person she could see on a regular basis was Samanthab. Moreover…

The relationship between the two of them couldn’t be summed up in a few words.

In any case, for the current Kayla, she was completely caught in a dilemma.

Besides worrying about Fabian’s safety, she was also troubled by another person!

That person was Samanthab, who had always avoided direct confrontation with her.

The relationship between the two women was very complicated.

Lost in her thoughts, Kayla followed in Jun and Samanthab’s footsteps and arrived at the depths of the underground palace.

It was a study.

Kayla often came here to pass the time.

Upon arriving, Samanthab quickly walked to the front of a row of bookshelves and pulled a mechanism hidden inside.

Boom!

The next moment, the bookshelf split open in the middle.

Behind the bookshelf was a dark secret passage.

Upon seeing this secret passage, a hint of surprise flashed across Kayla’s mature and beautiful face. Despite living here for so many years, she had never known that there was a secret passage behind the bookshelf.

“Does this secret passage lead to the dungeon?” Kayla asked Samanthab unconsciously.

Samanthab ignored Kayla and entered the secret passage, inviting Jun to follow.

But it was at that moment that Kayla suddenly became filled with fear and anxiety.

“No… I… I won’t go to the dungeon. I won’t go!” she exclaimed.

Jun questioned, “Why? Don’t you want to see Uncle Fabian as soon as possible?”

Kayla, in a state of worry, shook her head frantically, her fear intensifying.

“No! I won’t go to the dungeon! I won’t go!”

Jun furrowed his brow.

Then Samanthab suddenly said to Kayla, “I brought you out of the dungeon back then, and this time, I will only take you in to see someone. I won’t let you suffer in the dungeon again!”

Kayla’s body went weak, but she continued to shake her head crazily.

“No! I won’t go!”

Seeing Kayla so terrified, Jun couldn’t help but ask Samanthab, “Is the dungeon really that terrifying?”

Samanthab only said four words, “A living hell!”
