Seconds before Hendrik was able tond his skull-crushing punch on Gerald—who was already
prepared to die at this point—a shout made him stop his attack half-way.

Of course, the person who had shouted was none other than Chester.
“Grandma, Second Lord! Please don’t kill master! This has nothing to do with him!” said Chester as he
fell to his knees.
“You’re calling him master? How absolutely ridiculous! You’re the master of the Holy Witchcraft! Why on
earth would you call this wealthy spoilt brat your master? If news gets out about this, then our n’s
prestigious name will surely be destroyed by you!” replied Tiara as the corner of her lips twitched.
She, for one, was a person who cared a lot about prestige. To her, a man dying was nothing special if it
was to maintain the Holy Witchcraft’s status!
“It was my personal decision to be by master’s side! I’ve never wanted to be the young master of the
Holy Witchcraft in the first ce! All I’ve ever wanted was to live normally… Ever since I began
following master, I came to realize that I was actually able to be useful to him, and knowing that, I was
happy! After all, I was finally granted a chance to walk away from my past lifestyle and begin making up
for all the wrong I’ve done!” cried out Chester.
None of what Chester had said was an exaggeration. He truly had been living in both guilt and pain
before this, feeling extremely lost anding to hate everything since he couldn’t find a way out no
matter what.
However, from the moment Gerald had given him a taste of death before pulling him back, Chester
became enlightened. In a way, that experience had allowed him to finally find a way to slowly relieve
himself of his tormented past.
To make up for all that he had done, he swore from that moment that he would continue doing good
deeds by continuing to stay by Gerald’s side. He would finally be able to achieve much more in life.
That wasn’t the only positive thing about all this either. Chester had actually managed to gain more
friends throughout his stay with Gerald. The friends in question were Master Joshua and several of the
Crawford bodyguards.
In fact, just yesterday, the bodyguards had invited him over to join them for a drink. However, Master
Joshua had caught them in the act and for a second there, they all thought that they were going to be
in trouble. However, Joshua had only been putting on a fa?ade, and in the end, he ended up joining
them as well…
It gave him a feeling of warmth… This was how being alive was supposed to feel.
Chester was also aware that they had invited him to drink with them because they all knew what had
happened to him…
They had noticed that Chester was still quite self-conscious despite having turned into a new leaf after
he began following Gerald around. He had reason to feel that way too. After all, he was a sinner. An
unworthy young master of the Holy Witchcraft…
However, knowledge of that didn’t stop Joshua and the guards from seeing him as a friend. A friend of
Gerald’s was a friend of theirs, and it was at that moment when Chester knew he could share anything
on his mind with them.
It was nothing short of liberating, and for a moment, Chester truly believed that he had finally been able
to walk away from his past.
“…Ridiculous… How absolutely ridiculous! How could the young master of the Holy Witchcraft say
something like that?!” roared Tiara in fury, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
“Since you’re my grandson, I’ll give you one final chance! Kill this Gerald and you’ll be permitted to
regain your title of young master of the Holy Witchcraft!” added Tiara.
Looking at the vicious woman, Gerald could only clench his fists tightly. If only Queena hadn’t sealed
off his power!
“Don’t make me repeat myself!” warned Tiara.
“Even if I have to die, I won’t hurt my master! Why do you want to kill him so badly, grandmother?! I’ve
already left the Holy Witchcraft and I’m over with it! Please, just leave us be already!” replied Chester
as he instantly began repeatedly lowering his forehead to the ground.
As blood began trickling down his forehead, the angered Tiara then shouted, “You b*stard of a
grandson! Fine then! If you won’t do it, I’ll just kill this useless brat myself!”
With that said, she raised her right palm and—aiming it toward Gerald’s head—instantly began
charging toward him!
Without his inner strength, Gerald knew that he wouldn’t be able to dodge the attack, so he could only
brace for impact!
A loud ‘thud’ could be heard, as Gerald’s eyes reddened.
However, the redness wasn’t because of the attack. No, it was out of utter shock.
Chester had taken the hit for him, and due to that, part of his skull ended up getting crushed! The worst
thing was, Tiara had clearly been able to stop her attack when Chester stood before Gerald. Even so,
the old woman had proceeded with the deed anyway!
With blood now spurting out of Chester’s mouth, he fell to the ground right before Gerald.
“Chester!”
