Yvette was in agony; she almost could not suppress her impulse to go forward to check on Chester's wound.
'Brother Chester chose to do that instead of harming one of us....'
However, she knew that Chester's sacrifice would be wasted if she showed her concern.
She withheld herself when she thought of that.
"Mr. Zhang!"
Chester wrapped his wound as he stared at Zhang Jue. "I have proved my sincerity. Do you still have any suspicion?" He did not even look at his severed arm on the ground as he talked.
For him, losing an arm was nothing compared to saving others' lives.
Phew!
Zhang Jue took a deep breath and stared at Chester for a dozen seconds before he finally nodded. "Fine, Master Wilson, you're an indomitable man, indeed. I'd be wasting your talent if I still have any suspicion."
He turned to his subordinates and instructed, "Hurry, get Master Wilson some medication. Take the others back to the prison cell."
Chester froze and exclaimed hurriedly, "Mr. Zhang, didn't you promise that—"
Zhang Jue interrupted him with a smile. "I only agreed to spare their lives; I did not say that I was going to let them free."
'F*ck!'
Chester was extremely infuriated to hear that. Zhang Jue was too sly.
Dax and the others could not resist at all because they were exhausted. All of them were tied up quickly and sent back to the prison cell.
Chester went to the altar hall as invited by Zhang Jue.
Chester was a sharp thinker. He guessed that Zhang Jue wanted to go against Darryl because he wanted to dominate the Nine Mainland.
Zhang Jue sniggered at Chester's suggestion, and he shook his head. "If only the others were as insightful as you to understand the situation, I would've saved a lot of trouble. Dax Sanders and the others are all stubborn as mules. They would rather die than submit to me, so they have to die eventually."
Chester jerked internally and replied hastily, "Mr. Zhang, I can persuade them on your behalf if you trust me."
He smiled and continued to say, "I am Dax's sworn brother. He might listen to me."
Indeed, Chester wanted to get an opportunity to meet Dax and the others in the prison cell instead of persuading them to surrender.
"Fine!"
Zhang Jue's eyes shone as he burst into laughter. "Master Wilson, you are ambitious. I did not trust the wrong person, indeed. This matter is yours to handle."
"Thank you for your trust."
