Chester sat there and took in a sharp breath; he felt very complicated.
Chester had been trying to break free from the iron shackles, but he continued to fail because he was way too weak. He was very annoyed. He was also disturbed because his soul contract with the King of the Dead seemed to have changed subtly.
At that moment, Chester still had no idea that many things had happened in the past few days. Donoghue had taken over the King of the Dead's power and succeeded as the new ruler.
Rustle…
Just as Chester was feeling morose and depressed, he heard faint footsteps from the outside.
Immediately afterward, someone pushed the dungeon gate open and walked into the chamber.
The visitor looked like a crafty person; his eyes flashed with cunningness. It was the White Horse's trustworthy follower, Juan Pablo.
Chester scowled when he saw the man.
"Sect Master Chester!"
Juan forced a smile when he saw Chester. He said, "How do you feel after being here for a few days?"
Chester sneered. "If you are here to ridicule me, you would be disappointed. I won't die even after you lock me up for ten and a half months."
White Horse was cunning and despicable, and Juan was his follower. Chester did not welcome his presence.
Uh…
Juan was embarrassed at how Chester had treated him, but he still managed to speak with an uncomfortable laugh. "Sect Master Chester, don't be too quick to push me away. I'm here because I care about you."
Juan spoke earnestly, but his eyes revealed a hint of cunningness.
Juan was cunning by nature. There had been no news about White Horse for a few days, and his heart began to itch. So he wanted to try to reap some benefit off Chester.
'Care about me?'
