The Lord Protector had long known that Leif Wind was a shrewd person. He shook the two torn remnants of the Dragon Emblem in his hand and said, “If you help me, I’ll give you one piece of the Dragon Emblem!”
Upon hearing this, Leif Wind narrowed his eyes unhappily and asked, “Lord Protector, didn’t you promise to give me both pieces of the Dragon Emblem? Why do you only have one now?”
The Lord Protector replied irritably, “I promised to give you both pieces of the Dragon Emblem, but only if you help me kill Chris Shelby. Now I ask you, did you kill Chris Shelby for me?”
Leif Wind remained silent. If he could actually kill Chris Shelby, Leif Wind wouldn’t just stand there and watch him walk away.
Lord Protector said calmly, “Leif Wind, don’t be too greedy. I’m asking you, will you agree? If you refuse, I’ll find someone else to help me!”
Saying that, the Lord Protector prepared to put away the Dragon Emblem.
Seeing this, Leif Wind extended his hand and said, “Stop talking nonsense, give me the Dragon Emblem!”
How could he let the Lord Protector take it back when it was within his reach?
“Hehe!” The Lord Protector chuckled lightly and handed one piece of the Dragon Emblem to Leif Wind.
Leif Wind examined it carefully and, seeing that there were no problems, put the Dragon Emblem into his pocket. He looked at the Lord Protector and asked, “Tell me, how do you want me to help you?”
The Lord Protector said calmly, “It’s simple! I want you to introduce me to the Abernathy family. As you know, I have no connection with the Abernathy family, but your Wind family and the Abernathy family are both part of the Ten Heritage Families. It’s best if you, from the Wind family, make the introduction!”
The Abernathy family lives in seclusion and would not accept anyone without an introduction from the Wind family. Lord Protector probably wouldn’t even know where the Abernathy family’s door is without the Wind family’s introduction.
Leif Wind thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
Crack!
Suddenly, at that moment, it began to pour rain outside. The dense dark clouds weighed down the entire sky…
The whole sky seemed gloomy and stuffy as if Abernathy Family’s birth was imminent.
At the same time, at the foot of Hill Cloudtop, Chris Shelby suddenly stopped and looked at Phoenix. He said, “Phoenix, lead a hundred thousand Guards of Death and settle them at the foot of Hill Cloudtop. If the Wind family shows any signs of action, immediately inform me!”
Though he couldn’t take the Lord Protector away, the Wind family was still a threat. By having Phoenix lead a hundred thousand Guards of Death stationed at the foot of Hill Cloudtop, he would be able to deal with any actions from the Wind family calmly.
“Yes!” Phoenix immediately went to make arrangements.
After giving instructions to Phoenix, Chris Shelby looked at James Mester and said, “James Mester, once you return to the East Coast, raise the security level to the highest. Any unidentified personnel entering the East Coast must be closely monitored.”
“Yes!” James Mester nodded in response.
Tiger, who was next to them, saw Chris Shelby making these arrangements and curiously asked, “Commander, do you know who Lord Jenson is?”
Only Chris Shelby knew Lord Jenson’s identity, and it must be someone of great significance for him to make these arrangements.
“Hmm!” Chris Shelby nodded.
“Then who is this Lord Jenson?” Tiger continued to ask.
Chris Shelby waved his hand impatiently, “Enough, stop talking. Let’s hurry back to the East Coast!”
Seeing that Chris Shelby didn’t want to say more, Tiger didn’t dare to ask further. After all, whatever Chris Shelby didn’t want to say, it was pointless for him to ask.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
Soon, tens of thousands of green Humvees disappeared in the distance. Chris Shelby sat in one of the bulletproof Humvees, looking out the window, his eyes gradually becoming distant.
This trip by the Wind family had caught him by surprise. Especially when he learned about Lord Jenson’s identity, it shocked him even more.
Chris Shelby had never expected that Lord Jenson would be the Lord Protector!
It wasn’t that Chris Shelby didn’t want to reveal Lord Jenson’s identity to Tiger. It’s just that this matter was too significant. If not careful, it would cause upheaval within the Amerosia government.
Without sufficient confidence, Chris Shelby didn’t want to disclose Lord Jenson’s identity!
However, Chris Shelby knew that after this incident, the Lord Protector would certainly not give up. He would do everything possible to deal with Chris Shelby!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, thunder and lightning roared in the sky, and dark clouds loomed overhead.
Looking at this, a saying popped into Chris Shelby’s mind.
The storm is coming, winds fill the tower!
…
Hill of Lords.
The foremost of Amerosia’s Ten Famous Mountains.
In the past, this was where the emperors of the former dynasty performed their ceremonies. It was extremely prestigious, and ordinary people couldn’t set foot here. Anyone who did so would be killed without mercy.
But after the fall of the former dynasty, Hill of Lords fell into silence.
After the fall of the former dynasty, the Abernathy family took shelter here.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, several figures shuttled through and then stopped. The figures of Lord Protector and Leif Wind appeared.
“Is this Hill of Lords, the location of the Abernathy family?” Lord Protector looked at the majestic Hill of Lords before him, his face filled with surprise. He never expected that Hill of Lords would be the hiding place of the Abernathy family!
In the former dynasty, Hill of Lords was a sacred mountain. Besides the emperor, no one was allowed to approach. Such famous mountains and rivers held special political significance.
And the Abernathy family had boldly concealed themselves here?
What were they implying?
Could it be that they were still up to their old tricks?
For a moment, Lord Protector’s mind was filled with countless thoughts.
Leif Wind nodded and said, “Yes! Ever since the fall of the former dynasty, the Abernathy family has been hiding here. Alright, let’s not waste time, let’s go!”
“Hmm!” Lord Protector nodded without speaking. However, a hidden killing intent appeared deep in his eyes.
The Abernathy family residing in Hill of Lords, it seemed they were still causing trouble.
After he ascends to the throne, the first thing he needs to do is to destroy the Abernathy family.
Otherwise, the Abernathy family would pose too great a threat to him!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The people didn’t waste time and headed towards the depths of Hill of Lords.
At the peak of Hill of Lords, there was a magnificent palace with palatial buildings everywhere. It looked like a fairyland on earth, exuding an even grander aura than the Hill Cloudtop where the Wind family resided.
And it had a touch of royal air.
This was the residence of the Abernathy family!
The Abernathy family was a royal family of the former dynasty. Even though they had fallen now, they remained the foremost of the Ten Heritage Families!
Inside the palace, Abernathy family members came and went, each of them exuding a strong aura. All of them were cultivators at the level of masters or above.
