An elderly man with a face like a red jujube walked out.
He said respectfully, “Yes, we have!”
This red-faced elder was the one in charge of intelligence within the Ghost Sect.
The Lord of the Ghost Sect, with no expression on his face, said, “Let’s hear it!”
“Yes!”
The red-faced elder glanced at Guardian Michael, raised his head, and said, “Chris Shelby. Several years ago, he was a vagabond. Later, he became the son-in-law of the Jefferson family for the sake of good fortune!”
“On the second day of his grand wedding, he suddenly ran away! The day he returned, he caused a great stir in the south of Amerosia, proclaiming himself the Master of the South Alliance, the King of the East Coast…”
“Oh?”
The Lord of the Ghost Sect was slightly surprised.
It seemed this son-in-law was not simple at all! In such a short time, he had already taken control of the entire south of Amerosia. Now he had the Dragon Emblem fragment in his hand. If the storm gathers, it would surely transform into a soaring dragon! This man must be removed. Given time, he will surely head north. By then, it would be difficult to eliminate him!
With this thought, the Lord of the Ghost Sect coldly glanced at Guardian Michael.
It was just a glance, but instantly, Guardian Michael felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar. His body uncontrollably trembled, and his heart filled with fear. He didn’t know, what kind of punishment awaited him?
“Guardian Michael, you’ve caused the Ghost Sect to lose soldiers and suffer heavy losses, originally you should suffer the punishment of branding,” the Lord of the Ghost Sect said. “But considering your years of hard work for the Ghost Sect, although you can escape death, you cannot avoid punishment! Now I declare, you will be punished with thirty strokes and sent to repentance cliff to reflect on your mistakes!”
Hearing this, Guardian Michael breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought he was surely going to die. Now, although he was punished with thirty strokes, sent to repentance cliff, and didn’t know when he could come out again, he was lucky to have his life spared.
“Thank you, Master, for sparing my life!” Guardian Michael knelt on the ground, shouting gratefully.
Soon, he was dragged away.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Then came screams.
During this process, the Lord of the Ghost Sect remained expressionless.
He spared Guardian Michael simply because of his skills in managing people. Killing Guardian Michael would have been simple, but it would certainly cause the Ghost Sect to be in turmoil. Moreover, kindness and sternness were the way for those in power to manage their subordinates. After this incident, Guardian Michael would surely be grateful to him!
Seeing this, Guardian Tim showed a hint of regret.
However, it soon turned into schadenfreude. Although Guardian Michael was not killed, being sent to the repentance cliff was equivalent to a life sentence! After all, the repentance cliff was not a place for ordinary people. There, even if you don’t die, you’ll lose a layer of skin!
“Guardian Tim!”
Just then, the Lord of the Ghost Sect suddenly called out.
“I’m here!”
Guardian Tim was startled and quickly stood up.
The Lord of the Ghost Sect looked at him and said lightly, “I order you to lead three hundred grandmaster experts to the East Coast to seize the Dragon Emblem fragment!”
“Remember, this Chris Shelby is very strong. You can only outwit him, don’t try to confront him directly! At critical moments, you can use any means necessary, but you must bring back the Dragon Emblem fragment!”
Guardian Tim had a look of joy on his face.
He didn’t expect that the Master would entrust such an important task to him! It seemed that his rise to power was just around the corner! When the time comes, it wouldn’t be impossible to snatch the position of the boss!
He licked his lips and sneered, “Master, rest assured, I will not let you down!”
