Chapter 1204: Rescuing The Old Vige Chief


    Chapter 1204: Rescuing the Old Vige Chief


    The next day.


    Early in the morning.


    Chris Shelby took Tiger to the Jefferson Vige shrine.


    The Jefferson Vige shrine used to be the residence of Peter Jefferson, but it had now been


    upied by the Abernathy family.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    When Chris Shelby arrived at the shrine, he found a table full of food, mostlyvish dishes of fish


    and meat. There was also a bottle of extremely fine wine worth hundreds of thousands of dors.


    It seemed that the Abernathy family had put a lot of effort into negotiating with him this time.


    Chris Shelby nced around and noticed that the person here to negotiate with him was none other


    than Devil''s Frown, the former leader of Ghost Sect.


    "Hahaha!"


    Seeing Devil''s Frown, Chris Shelbyughed mockingly, "Devil''s Frown, we meet again. I didn''t


    expect you to join the Abernathy family. I remember you started with Hall of Death, then joined the


    Wind family, and now you''re with the Abernathy family. You''re quite the turncoat!"


    Devil''s Frown''s face darkened at Chris Shelby''s words. But he knew he was here to negotiate, not


    fight.


    Forcing a smile, Devil''s Frown said, "Chris Shelby, that''s all in the past. Why bring it up? Today, I''m


    here representing the Abernathy family to negotiate with you. Please, have a seat."


    Chris Shelby sat down unceremoniously and got straight to the point, "So, what does the Abernathy


    family want to discuss? If there''s nothing important, let''s not waste time. Either I drive you out of


    Jefferson Vige, or you drive me out. It''s that simple."


    Devil''s Frown was taken aback by Chris Shelby''s directness. He had prepared a lot to say, but it


    seemed unnecessary now.


    "Hehe!"


    Devil''s Frown rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Chris Shelby, we''re old friends. Why resort to


    violence? We''re here for the Dragon Emblem scroll fragments, just like you. Since we have the


    same goal, why not cooperate? Fighting is pointless. Peace is precious."


    "Oh!"


    Chris Shelby said in surprise, "I didn''t expect the great leader of Ghost Sect to understand the value


    of peace. Impressive!"


    Chris Shelby''s sarcasm made Devil''s Frown blush.


    But it didn''t matter; as long as today''s negotiation seeded, a few taunts were nothing.


    Chris Shelby took a sip of wine and said, "So, how do you propose we maintain peace?"


    Devil''s Frown smiled faintly, "Our goal is simple: let''s temporarily set aside our differences and find


    the Dragon Emblem scroll fragments first. Once we find them, we canpete for them. What do


    you think?"


    Chris Shelby immediately saw through Devil''s Frown''s n. It was a stalling tactic: negotiate now,


    find the scroll fragments together, and then fight over themter.


    Chris Shelby tapped the table, thinking it over.


    Seeing Chris Shelby deep in thought, Devil''s Frown didn''t interrupt. He believed Chris Shelby would


    ept his terms. After all, it was beneficial for both sides.


    After a moment, Chris Shelby chuckled, "Devil''s Frown, you''re smart! Fine, I agree to your terms,


    but I have one condition."


    Hearing this, Devil''s Frown felt relieved and asked with a smile, "What''s your condition?"


    Chris Shelby said, "You''ve captured the old vige chief of Jefferson Vige. I want you to release


    him."


    "This…"


    Devil''s Frown hesitated. Peter Jefferson was still useful to the Abernathy family. As the vige chief


    and a direct descendant of Manson Jefferson, he likely knew where the Dragon Emblem scroll


    fragments were.


    Seeing Devil''s Frown hesitate, Chris Shelby sneered, "You won''t even agree to this? It seems this


    negotiationcks sincerity. In that case, don''t me me for being ruthless!"


    With that, an overwhelming killing intent erupted from Chris Shelby.


    Cold sweat broke out on Devil''s Frown''s forehead. He knew Chris Shelby''s strength well and wasn''t


    confident he could win if they fought now.


    He still wanted to rebuild Ghost Sect and didn''t want to die at Chris Shelby''s hands. Peter Jefferson


    was just an old man who hadn''t revealed anything under torture anyway. It was better to hand him


    over and secure the negotiation.


    With this thought, Devil''s Frown quickly smiled and said, "Chris Shelby, don''t be impulsive! It''s just a


    vige chief. I''ll have him released right away!"


    He then instructed his men to release Peter Jefferson.


    "Yes!"


    Seeing Devil''s Frown agree to release the vige chief, Chris Shelby retracted his killing intent.


    Even so, Devil''s Frown still felt uneasy.


    Momentster, Peter Jefferson was brought in. He was covered in wounds and soaked in blood,


    looking barely alive.


    "Old Vige Chief!"


    Chris Shelby rushed over and supported Peter Jefferson.


    Peter Jefferson opened his eyes and smiled weakly at Chris Shelby, "You finally came!"


    Seeing Chris Shelby brought a relieved smile to Peter Jefferson''s face. He had known only Chris


    Shelby could save Jefferson Vige.


    Chris Shelby was a kind person, and the East Coast Jefferson family was a branch of Jefferson


    Vige. He wouldn''t abandon them.


    With Chris Shelby here, neither the Abernathy family nor any other hidden ns could harm the


    vigers.


    Peter Jefferson was confident in this.


    Chris Shelby said painfully, "Old Vige Chief, I''m sorry I camete and let you suffer. Don''t worry;


    I''ll avenge you!"


    Peter Jefferson waved his hand weakly, "Don''t worry about me; I''m not dead yet."


    Suddenly.


    Chris Shelby looked up and red at Devil''s Frown, roaring angrily, "Are you even human? How


    could you be so cruel to a centenarian?"
