Chapter 1196: The Second Dragon Emblem Scroll

Upon Harold Jefferson's return, he found a group of unidentified individuals in the village.

These people arrived at Jefferson Village and immediately wanted to dig up the ancestral tombs.

Naturally, the people of Jefferson Village resisted and conflict ensued.

To prevent the situation from escalating, the old village chief Peter Jefferson went to negotiate with these unidentified individuals.

Unfortunately, he was injured by them!

Upon Peter Jefferson's injury, he realized the seriousness of the situation and sought out Harold Jefferson to go to the East Coast and find Chris Shelby to resolve the matter in Jefferson Village.

In Peter Jefferson's view, no one could handle the crisis in Jefferson Village except Chris Shelby.

After all, Chris Shelby was powerful, even Peter Jefferson was not his match.

Unexpectedly, after Harold Jefferson arrived at the East Coast, his wallet was stolen.

Being unfamiliar with the area as it was his first time on the East Coast, Harold Jefferson didn't know where to find Chris Shelby.

Hungry and lost, Harold Jefferson resorted to a free meal.

Luckily, fate led Harold Jefferson to encounter Chris Shelby and others at a roadside stall.

"Mr. Shelby, you must hurry to save the old village chief! He is severely injured, and if you don't go, his life might be in danger! The entire Jefferson Village is locked down, and I barely escaped with great effort," Harold Jefferson pleaded urgently.

"Moreover, those people are incredibly powerful. All the villagers are confined to their homes; no one can leave without their permission. If this continues, Jefferson Village will be doomed!" he continued with concern.

Hearing Harold Jefferson's words, Chris Shelby's expression turned grave.

Chris Shelby had a gut feeling that these unidentified individuals were not just simple troublemakers; they could possibly be old acquaintances of his.

Whether it was the Abernathy family or Daniel Williams, Chris Shelby pondered.

Peter Jefferson's skills were known to him.

Though not on par with himself, Peter Jefferson was definitely a master-level practitioner.

If these unidentified individuals could injure Peter Jefferson, their strength must be formidable.

Considering Daniel Williams had recently suffered a setback at Chris Shelby's hands, it seemed less likely to be him.

The biggest possibility was the Abernathy family!

However, since Chris Shelby hadn't personally visited Jefferson Village yet, it was too early to draw conclusions.

Only upon reaching Jefferson Village would he figure out who was causing trouble there.

Yet, Chris Shelby was curious.

What were these people after in Jefferson Village?

It was just a remote, poverty-stricken place with nothing special.

Previously, Guardian Michael and others had gone to Jefferson Village to seize the Dragon Emblem scroll from Yip Man's tomb.

But since Chris Shelby had taken that Dragon Emblem scroll, what could Jefferson Village possibly have to attract these individuals?

Chris Shelby couldn't comprehend and realized he needed to visit Jefferson Village to unravel the truth.

"Despicable! They are truly despicable!" Esther, standing nearby, exclaimed with indignation upon hearing Harold Jefferson's story.

"They injured such a good person like the old village chief; these people are truly despicable!" Esther looked at Chris Shelby, urging, "You must help the people of Jefferson Village this time!"

The East Coast Jefferson family was a branch of Jefferson Village, and Esther wouldn't sit idly by when trouble arose there.

"Rest assured, Jefferson Village's problem is my problem. I will definitely help Jefferson Village!" Chris Shelby assured.

Grateful, Harold Jefferson thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Shelby! Thank you, Mr. Shelby!"

Harold Jefferson was genuinely thankful.

He had heard that Chris Shelby was a good person who had helped Jefferson Village immensely.

Last time, tens of thousands of martial artists had gone to Jefferson Village.

If Chris Shelby hadn't intervened forcefully and wiped them out, Jefferson Village would have been in ruins now.

Therefore, Chris Shelby was seen as a great benefactor by all in Jefferson Village!

"Oh, Harold Jefferson, you must have practiced martial arts, right?" Chris Shelby suddenly inquired.

Surprised, Harold Jefferson asked, "Mr. Shelby, how did you know I practiced martial arts?"

"Hehe," Chris Shelby chuckled, "I can tell from your aura; you must be a master-level practitioner!"

Harold Jefferson confirmed, "Mr. Shelby is correct; I have indeed practiced martial arts. I naturally inherited great strength and trained in the Springtime Fist with the old village chief since I was young. I am the old village chief's only disciple!"

As Peter Jefferson's closed-door disciple, Harold Jefferson was the strongest person in Jefferson Village besides Peter Jefferson.

Otherwise, Peter Jefferson wouldn't have sent Harold Jefferson to find Chris Shelby.

In Peter Jefferson's eyes, as long as Harold Jefferson was alive, the fire of Jefferson Village would not be extinguished.

Chris Shelby could see Harold Jefferson had decent martial talent, reaching master level at his age.

Of course, Chris Shelby was an exception, a prodigy among prodigies!

To achieve such heights at Chris Shelby's age was rare-one in a million.

It could be said that Chris Shelby was a once-in-a-thousand-year martial genius.

That's why Archer Wintersong had taken Chris Shelby as his disciple.

After finishing the meal, Chris Shelby and the group returned to Cloud Bay.

As Harold Jefferson was new to the area, he stayed at Cloud Bay for the night.

It was already late, so Chris Shelby decided they would head to Jefferson Village the next day.

Meanwhile, in Jefferson Village.

"Devil's Frown, does Jefferson Village really conceal the second Dragon Emblem scroll?" Mr. Peterson Abernathy of the Abernathy family asked Devil's Frown incredulously.

Peterson Abernathy had heard from Daniel Williams that there was a Dragon Emblem scroll in Jefferson Village before.

But the discovery of a second Dragon Emblem scroll in the village was unbelievable!

Devil's Frown, once the master of the Ghost Sect, had become a lone wolf since the sect's demise.

He initially betrayed the Hall of Death to join the Wind family.

But after the Wind family's destruction by Chris Shelby, he became a lone wolf again.

Finally, Devil's Frown had no choice but to join the Abernathy family and had become a lackey to three families. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Hehe!" Devil's Frown chuckled. "Of course! When I was the Ghost Sect master, I secretly investigated Jefferson Village and found it extraordinary! Besides the Dragon Emblem scroll hidden in Yip Man's tomb, there is another one here. Unfortunately, Chris Shelby has taken the Dragon Emblem scroll from Edmund Jefferson's tomb!"
