Chapter 1350: The Noble Families

Book:The Primus Of The Country Published:2024-10-27

Although Chris Shelby had not seen them, he knew that each member of the East Coast Guards had undergone a transformative change. Previously, despite their rigorous training, the East Coast Guards were essentially a group of hooligans. But now, they had completely turned into warriors. Chris Shelby did not insist on having Tiger lead the East Coast Guards back. Because Tiger was right, a soldier’s first duty is to obey orders. As the boss, Chris naturally wouldn’t lead by violating the orders of the Amerosia troops.
Ding-a-ling!
Just as Chris Shelby ended the call with Tiger, another call came in. Chris picked up his phone and saw it was Harold Jefferson calling. “Harold, aren’t you at work? What’s the matter?” Now, Harold Jefferson had become the head of security at Chester Group, which was a mid-level position. From the other end, Harold Jefferson spoke anxiously, “Mr. Shelby, it’s bad! Someone is causing trouble at Chester Group!”
“What?” Chris’s face darkened.
“Harold, who dares to cause trouble at Chester Group?” Chester Group was now the premier corporation on the East Coast, and it was well-known as his wife’s business. To cause trouble there was akin to a death wish!
Harold Jefferson replied, “Mr. Shelby, it’s the son of the East Coast Governor, Dylan Piper, who has brought people to make trouble.”
“Dylan Piper?” Hearing the name, Chris Shelby frowned. Since the last time he had beaten Dylan Piper at Drake International, he had not seen him. Unexpectedly, Dylan Piper was bold enough to bring people to cause trouble at Chester Group this time; it seemed he had a death wish.
“Harold, wait for me at the company, I’m coming over immediately!” After hanging up, Chris Shelby drove straight to Chester Group. Upon arrival, he met Harold Jefferson. “Harold, where’s Dylan Piper?” Chris Shelby asked curiously.
“Mr. Shelby, Dylan Piper is currently in the president’s office!” Harold informed him.
Hearing this, Chris Shelby immediately took the elevator to the president’s office. Soon, he arrived. There he saw Dylan Piper in the president’s office, not alone but with a young man beside him.
This young man wore a haughty expression and seemed quite arrogant, sitting on the sofa, with Dylan Piper obsequiously standing behind him. Chris’s face showed a trace of inexplicable emotion. It seemed the young man’s identity was no small matter, even Dylan Piper, the son of the East Coast Governor, sought to curry favor with him.
Upon seeing Chris Shelby, Esther immediately stood up and said, “Dear, let me introduce you, this is the young master from the Middleton Frost family, Lysander Frost!”
Hearing this, Chris Shelby’s face brightened with recognition. The Middleton Frost family, he had heard of them. Middleton itself was a place abundant with noble families-first-rate, second-rate, third-rate… there were many.
The Shelby family, to which Chris belonged, was considered a powerful family in Middleton. Although powerful families in Middleton were mostly influential economically, the Frost family was different; they were one of the founding noble families.
When the founder of Amerosia conquered the lands, he had appointed ten founding nobles!
And these ten great founding heroes left behind their families, which became the ten noble families.
Each noble family in Amerosia holds a title, the least of which is that of an earl.
Although Chris Shelby is the Primus of Amerosia, he holds no title.
Thus, these ten noble families are behemoths in Amerosia.
Each noble family wields significant influence in the Amerosian court.
In the eyes of these noble families, the so-called elite Shelby family is insignificant!
Among the ten noble families, the Frost family ranks at the bottom.
The East Coast’s Frost family is a branch of the Middleton Frost family.
Even as a branch, it holds the esteemed position of Governor of the East Coast.
Were it not for Chris Shelby on the East Coast, the Governor would be the top figure across the entire East Coast!
Now, with Dylan Piper bringing Lysander Frost to the East Coast, their intentions seem ominous!
Lysander Frost, with a smirk, said to Chris Shelby, “So you are the so-called King of the East Coast, the Primus of Amerosia, Chris Shelby? Allow me to introduce myself; I am Lysander Frost, the son of the Middleton Frost family!”
Lysander Frost looked disdainfully at Chris Shelby, the so-called Primus of Amerosia.
To them, a Primus is nothing!
Back when their ancestors were conquering lands with the great founder, Chris Shelby was nowhere to be found, not even born!
A nobody, risen to become the Primus of Amerosia, dares to act arrogantly before the Frost family, which is preposterous!
With a cold expression, Lysander Frost said, “Chris Shelby, Dylan Piper is my distant cousin. Last time, you turned him into a eunuch, which is a direct affront to the entire Frost family. Do you realize that?”
Chris Shelby, understanding the situation, realized Lysander Frost was here to support Dylan Piper.
Chris Shelby sneered, “Ah, the illustrious son of the Frost family. What an honor. I heard your ancestor was Himus Frost, is that true?”
“You…”
Hearing this, Lysander Frost’s face turned extremely ugly.
Indeed, Himus Frost was an ancestor of the Frost family.
However, this ancestor, Himus Frost, had brought centuries of shame upon the Frost family.
Given Lysander Frost’s status, no one dared to speak such words publicly.
But now, Chris Shelby dared to mock him openly, fueling Lysander Frost’s anger.
At that moment, Dylan Piper stepped forward and cursed, “Chris Shelby, don’t think you’re something special just because you’re the Primus of Amerosia! I’ll have you know, you’re nothing in front of my cousin!”
Dylan Piper, seething with hatred, cursed Chris Shelby.
Chris Shelby, that bastard, had dared to make him a eunuch, effectively ruining his future.
He would not rest until he had his revenge.
To seek vengeance, Dylan Piper had specifically invited Lysander Frost.
Like Dylan Piper, Lysander Frost was known as a spoiled scion.
Within the Frost family, he was nothing more than a layabout.
Upon hearing his cousin had been made a eunuch, Lysander Frost rushed over without a second thought to defend his cousin’s honor.
But what Dylan Piper hadn’t anticipated was that Chris Shelby, that bastard, wouldn’t even show respect to his own cousin.
He should remember that his cousin belongs to a noble family!
And the head of the Frost family is an earl of Amerosia.
Does Chris Shelby not fear death?
