Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040: The Mischievous Susan

Bang! Before the figure in the black robe could finish speaking, the Lord of the Hall slammed the stone table forcefully. His expression turned cold as he stated, "Explain? Why should I explain to them? This is my affair!" With that, he fixed his eyes firmly on the figure in the black robe and continued, "No matter what means you use, make sure to kill Chris for me and snatch all the remaining pieces of the Dragon Emblem from him!"

"Yes!" The figure in the black robe shuddered and quickly turned to leave.

Swish... After he departed, the stone table that had been struck by the Lord earlier shattered into fine powder. This demonstration of the Lord's power was quite evident! Meanwhile, the figure in the black robe, the primary envoy of the Hall of Death, removed his mask abruptly, revealing a frighteningly scarred face, covered in a web of scars resembling sinister earthworms, enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. He opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was gravely injured and in great pain. "Chris..." The figure wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself. He hadn't expected Chris's strength to be so formidable. It was certain that Chris's strength surpassed his own. As for comparison to the Lord... the figure in the black robe dared not speculate, for he had never witnessed the Lord's abilities. In any case, this time he had underestimated Chris! He gingerly rubbed his arm. Chris's punch had injured the marrow of his arm. If he hadn't reacted in time and used his profound energy to dissipate it, his entire arm might have been ruined. After a long while, the figure in the black robe regained his composure. He donned his mask again, his eyes filled with icy determination...

At that moment, Chris returned to the East Coast. "Wife, this is the money I earned during my trip to Star Island!" Chris produced a bank card and handed it to Esther. Esther was momentarily stunned. She took the bank card and curiously asked, "Husband, how much money is in this card?" Chris replied nonchalantly, "Not much, just around a few billion US dollars!"

Huh? Upon hearing this, Esther was left speechless. It was truly disheartening. She had been managing the Chester Group, struggling to earn a couple of hundred billion a year. Yet, Chris had managed to earn over a hundred billion with a single trip to Star Island. Was her husband robbing banks on the side? It was truly a case of the grass being greener on the other side!
