“My home is at…” The girl began to speak but suddenly stopped, her face showing shock as she exclaimed, “Sister, how did you get here?”
Upon hearing this, Chris Shelby was momentarily taken aback.
He turned around and saw a woman approaching, clad in a long green dress.
She appeared to be in her twenties, with skin like creamy porcelain and breathtaking beauty.
Most importantly, when had this woman arrived?
Why hadn’t he noticed her?
With this thought, Chris Shelby narrowed his eyes.
With his abilities, few could escape his notice.
The fact that this woman had appeared so silently meant only one thing: she was no ordinary woman.
The woman, cold as ice, glared at the girl and said sternly, “You’re out causing trouble again. Do you believe I should teach you a lesson?”
Hearing this, the usually unruly girl instantly fell silent.
She bowed her head and said, “Sister, I know I was wrong!”
“If that’s the case, then come back with me!”
With that, the woman turned and left.
Throughout the encounter, she didn’t spare Chris Shelby a single glance, as if he didn’t exist.
Seeing this, Chris Shelby couldn’t help but chuckle.
It was the first time in a long while that he had been completely ignored.
Hearing the woman’s words, the girl did not dare to disobey and followed her.
However, as the girl was leaving, she turned back, smiled at Chris Shelby, and said, “Remember my name, sir. I’m Emily Silverstone. We might meet again!”
“What’s with all the chatter? Hurry up and go!”
The woman in the green dress, annoyed, grabbed Emily and vanished on the spot.
Watching their disappearing figures, Chris Shelby’s gaze grew intense.
From the speed of the woman’s departure, Chris Shelby could tell that she was a cultivator, and not just any cultivator, but one of at least the Transcendence realm!
To have reached the Transcendence realm at such a young age, this woman in the green dress was indeed no ordinary person!
Furthermore, the name Silverstone…
That name carried weight in Amerosia!
Chris Shelby chuckled softly to himself, murmuring, “Interesting! Truly interesting!”
Meanwhile.
In the blink of an eye, the woman in the green dress had taken Emily a kilometer away.
The woman in the green dress, with a stern face, said to Emily, “Emily, remember this, you must never casually reveal your surname to others, do you understand?”
Emily nodded, her face full of remorse, “Sister, I understand!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, two figures appeared before them.
“Miss Emily! Greetings, Miss Samantha!”
Two men, one stout and one slim, greeted the woman in the green dress and Emily with respect.
The woman in the green dress looked at them coldly and said, “Rhys, Griffin, I’m entrusting Emily to you. If anything happens to her, you will answer to me!”
“Yes!” Rhys and Griffin quickly nodded in agreement.
Curious, Emily asked the woman in the green dress, “Sister, where are you going?”
The woman in the green dress replied with icy determination, “This time I came to the East Coast to find the fragments of the Dragon Emblem. It is said that the Dragon Emblem fragments are in the hands of someone called the King of the East Coast. I must find him and obtain the Dragon Emblem fragments!”
The Fragment of the Dragon Emblem?
No one had anticipated that the woman in the green dress who appeared so suddenly was actually after the fragment of the Dragon Emblem.
She had no idea that the man she referred to as the King of the East Coast had already brushed past her…
As for Chris Shelby, he had returned to his villa by now.
At this moment, the nanny, May, was cooking in the kitchen.
Since Esther and the others had not yet left work, Chris Shelby went to his room.
Once in his room, Chris Shelby’s gaze became intense.
The unexpected appearance of the woman in the green dress gave Chris Shelby an ominous premonition.
Despite her young age, this woman possessed remarkable abilities and hailed from the so-called Silverstone family.
It seemed Amerosia held many secrets unknown to him.
Chris Shelby didn’t dwell on it much; he sat cross-legged on his bed and began to practice the Dragon Techniques he had acquired at the House of Rainstorms.
Speaking of the Dragon Techniques, they bore a striking resemblance to the Dragon Script found in the Dragon Emblem fragment.
In Chris Shelby’s view, the Dragon Techniques and the Dragon Script were essentially the same.
The Dragon Techniques were a practice cultivated by the Terracotta royalty, while the Dragon Script was left by the Dragon Emperor, a martial overlord of Amerosia from a thousand years ago.
How could these two be connected?
This puzzled Chris Shelby immensely!
Moreover, entering the tomb of Prince Felix had presented numerous problems for Chris Shelby.
Firstly, ever since he obtained it, the House of Rainstorms had remained in his mind, unresponsive no matter how he summoned it.
Additionally, the Dragon Techniques he acquired from Prince Felix’s legacy, once merged with the Dragon Script, had significantly enhanced his power, propelling Chris Shelby’s abilities forward by leaps and bounds.
At this rate, given time, he would surely reach the pinnacle of the second step in martial arts.
Whether he could break through to the third step depended on whether he could gather all the fragments of the Dragon Emblem and find the treasure left by the Dragon Emperor!
The more Chris Shelby practiced, the more he realized that this world was just the tip of the iceberg he was seeing.
What lay beneath the iceberg remained unknown to him.
However, Chris Shelby knew that as long as he followed the path step by step, one day he would uncover the entire iceberg!
As the sky gradually darkened, Chris Shelby exhaled a breath of stale air and walked out of his room.
By this time, Esther and others had finished work, and Marie along with Ava were in the kitchen helping May cook.
Seeing Chris Shelby approach, Esther curiously asked, “Dear, where were you today? Why didn’t you pick up Hope from school?”
Chris Shelby replied with a smile, “Sorry, something urgent came up today, so I had you pick up Hope.”
Regarding his encounter with Emily, Chris Shelby did not tell Esther.
In his eyes, Emily was just a passerby in his life, not worth mentioning.
Esther did not pursue the matter further after asking casually.
Chris Shelby then looked at Esther and Juliette with a serious expression and said, “Esther, Juliette, it’s best not to wander around much recently!”
Esther asked, puzzled, “Dear, is someone trying to kidnap me again?”
Being kidnapped had become somewhat routine for her.
After all, danger had been a constant since she had been with Chris Shelby.
Chris Shelby chuckled and said, “It’s not that, just that the East Coast has been a bit unsettled recently. You’d better be careful.”
