Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2559

"Good!"

Zhang Jue was very pleased, and he gestured with his arm. "Enough with the courtesy. By the way, Master Wilson, you must be exhausted. You are still injured. You should rest as soon as possible."

Chester grunted in response before he left the main hall with White Horse.

"Master!"

A disciple nearby asked a question cautiously right after they left. "Chester Wilson is also a heroic person. Based on his ambition, there's no way that he only managed to convince one person to surrender. Besides, why are you so polite to an Eternal Life Palace subordinate?"

Zhang Jue squinted slightly and smiled instead of replying to him.

After a few seconds, he said, "Go and check them out; see if Chester Wilson and White Horse have separated to rest. Get White Horse here alone without alerting Chester, but don't do anything to spook them if they're still together."

Zhang Jue had been very impressed when Chester sliced his arm off to show his sincerity. However, he was not stupid, and he figured that it could be a ruse to deceive him.

He did not let down his guard either after Chester succeeded in convincing White Horse to surrender.

The disciple left the main hall hurriedly after responding to the instruction.

A few minutes passed; the disciple returned with White Horse, who looked conflicted.

"Mr. Zhang."

White Horse was indescribably anxious when he entered the main hall. "What orders do you have for me?"

Zhang Jue smiled lightly; he did not reply to him. Suddenly, he charged at White Horse and struck his chest with his arm as swift as lightning.

Smack!

White Horse could not react at all because of Zhang Jue's extreme speed. He was terrified, and he almost slumped to the ground when he was attacked right near his heart.

To White Horse's astonishment, he was utterly harmless without any pain even though he was attacked.

Zhang Jue stifled a cold laugh and continued to speak in an unhurried tone, "Tell me, were you sincere when you pledge your allegiance to me or did Chester Wilson force you? Tell me the truth or wait for your death in half an hour."

"I—" White Horse froze as he sweated profusely.

'F*ck, it's all Chester Wilson's fault. Why did he have to pick me? Great, Zhang Jue saw through everything already...'

White Horse went down to his knees with a plop and admitted fearfully. "Mr. Zhang, mercy! Chester Wilson forced me to do that. He was only pretending to submit to you."

He went on and disclosed Chester's plan in the next few minutes.

'F*ck.'

Zhang Jue's face darkened, and he took on an appalling expression when he found out. Indeed, things were as he had guessed—Chester was only pretending. He had to acknowledge that Chester had acted really well. He even sliced his arm off to gain his trust.

Zhang Jue had an impulse to instruct his men to get Chester and kill him on the spot that instant. However, he changed his mind when he figured that he should play along if Chester wanted to scheme against him.
