Chapter 13: No One Can Laugh Anymore!

Everyone present was taken aback. All eyes fell on Jun Chester's face simultaneously. The middle-aged man who had just spoken enough to slander Jun Chester's mother was the first to speak. His gaze was fierce, and his voice was loud. "Who are you? How dare you speak to us like that!” The middle-aged man's name was Pete Chester, a cousin of Wilfrid Chester.

With the support of the Harding family, Pete Chester had been living quite well in Dirtmouth these years. Everyone close to him was a high-ranking official. In the grand castle hall, only he sat on Bella's left. In the Chester family, his status was second only to Wilfrid Chester and Bella. However, when the Chester family had not yet made a fortune, he was just a small merchant, not having much contact with Wilfrid Chester, and did not know Jun Chester. Moreover, Jun Chester seemed like a completely different person compared to yesterday. Even Bella, only after carefully examining him, recognized him.

It turned out that he was the bastard who had humiliated her in the hospital last night! Bella's face was frosty, and her tone was cold. "Jun Chester, I didn't expect you to come alone and dare to break into my Chester Fortress. That's really courageous!” When they heard the name Jun Chester, everyone present felt tense. They all knew. Yesterday, upon Jun Chester's return, he had slapped Edric Harding into the hospital.

Although this bastard no longer had the enormous power he had seven years ago. His fists were not something to be taken lightly. Especially Pete Chester, when he found out that this was Jun Chester, he suddenly became silent. Sitting in the chair, he now only dared to pinch his own hand, not daring to say another word. Jun Chester glanced at Bella and said indifferently, "I'll take care of this Pete Chester first, then we can talk." Upon hearing this, Pete Chester became extremely nervous. Bella snorted coldly and ordered a young man behind her.

"Nathan, go teach this ignorant bastard a lesson. If you can break his mouth for the sake of my brother's revenge, that would be even better!” Upon hearing this, the young man stepped forward with a cold expression. It seemed as if the temperature in the entire room had dropped significantly. Nathan Harding was Dirtmouth's best cultivator. Seeing Nathan Harding step forward, Pete Chester finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had complete trust in Nathan Harding's strength.

After all, he had already reached the peak of the Confluence stage! His fists were extremely domineering. With just one punch, he had once smashed his enemy into the wall. Little did he know that at Jun Chester's level, he was nothing more than an ant. A few days ago, Jun Chester single-handedly shattered the entire Bastille Highs. With his strength, ordinary fights were indeed a great difficulty. After all, if he wasn't careful, he could turn his enemies into dust!

Nathan Harding was already walking towards Jun Chester, but after taking just three steps, he stopped as if he had sensed something. Nathan Harding felt that this Jun Chester was not simple. Just the aura emanating from him was enough to prove that he was a monster in disguise! Jun Chester stepped forward without even glancing at Nathan Harding. "You just called someone a bitch?” Pete Chester's face changed slightly, but because Nathan Harding was in front of him, he became more confident. He sneered and replied to Jun Chester with just two words.

"Your mom!” As soon as these words were heard, the crowd burst into laughter! "Hahaha! "

"Pete, you've always been so interesting!" they exclaimed.

But in the next moment, not one of them could muster a laugh. Jun Chester stomped his foot on the ground.

Boom!

The floor shattered, and the entire castle's main hall seemed to experience an earthquake. All the chairs in the room were shattered as a consequence, and everyone sitting on them fell to the ground.

Before anyone could recover, Jun Chester lifted his toes and lightly kicked his leg out. A piece of broken rock shot towards Pete Chester's face like a bullet, narrowly missing his cheek. Everyone's eyes widened.

Panic filled the grand castle hall, with women screaming and men shouting in confusion. The chaos enveloped the entire space.

Only then did Pete Chester feel a sharp pain. He touched his face and saw his hand covered in blood, his eyes widening in terror. The shards of rock had pierced both sides of his face. As he screamed in fear, blood continuously flowed from the corners of his mouth.

This sight shocked everyone. Since there were no chairs left, Bella fell to the ground, utterly disheveled. Her usually proud face was now filled with terror, her mind blank, not even caring about the skirt she was wearing. She retreated continuously, her usual composure gone, as if she were lost in fear.

At that moment, Pete Chester, unable to bear the pain and shock, fainted.

Jun Chester naturally approached Bella. As he walked past Nathan Harding, he didn't even glance at him. Nathan's face turned pale, hardly daring to breathe, feeling numbness in his legs and weakness throughout his body. He hadn't expected Jun Chester's power to be so terrifying. Everything that had happened completely shattered his understanding.

"Is this... the power of Harmonization?" Nathan Harding blurted out in terror.

Jun Chester scoffed coldly. "Harmonization? You're insulting me again."

Nathan Harding's face turned ashen. He didn't even dare to move his legs, let alone try to stop Jun Chester. Unbelievable! Such a terrifying man existed in the world!

Jun Chester continued to approach Bella. With every step he took forward, Bella moved back. Debris on the floor scraped her silk stocking-covered leg, leaving a bloody cut, but she seemed not to notice. Fear and desperation filled her.

Jun Chester spoke again. "I told you yesterday, I'll come back for you in three days. But it seems you don't need any more time!"

Bella, as if possessed by a ghost, started to cry. She slapped her face hysterically while speaking incoherently. "Jun Chester! Don't come any closer! I... I know I was wrong! I shouldn't have said those things about your mother! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!"

As she continued to slap herself, Bella suddenly remembered that she was Lord Charlton's goddaughter. What could this lowly soldier do to her? Would he really dare to offend her godfather? How could she know that even if Blake Charlton were there, upon seeing Jun Chester, he would only stand aside? Moreover, Blake Charlton had already taken Jun Chester as his master.

Bella tore off the Charlton family crest from her chest, raising it high and speaking frantically. "Jun Chester, my godfather is Blake Charlton! If you dare to lay a finger on me today, you'll become the enemy of the entire Charlton family and half of Lordran! Think about it!"

A mocking glint flashed in Jun Chester's eyes. "Blake Charlton will be in Dirtmouth today. I'll ask him if he's blind when I see him, or else why would he take you as his goddaughter?"

Bella was terrified, more desperate than she had ever been before, wanting to cry out for help. However, she discovered that in the grand castle's main hall, more than half of the people were hiding in the corners. Even the core members of the Harding family had retreated to the corners in panic!

Bella had nowhere to hide and was about to collapse in front of Jun Chester, begging for mercy. But just then, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the second floor. "Jun, enough. Let's just call it a day for my sake and spare these blind fools!"

Everyone looked up at the second floor, and there stood an elderly man dressed in a white robe, with white hair and a pale complexion. When Bella saw this old man, it was as if she had found a life-saving straw.

When Jun Chester saw the old man's face clearly, his heart couldn't help but tremble. He hadn't expected that the man would still be alive!
