Chapter 1198: Thousands of Excavators
Peterson Abernathy smiled faintly and said, "You guessed right, we are indeed here for the Dragon Emblem fragment. Since you already know, please tell me where the Dragon Emblem fragment is located."
"You must be dreaming!"
Peter Jefferson cursed, "None of you are good people. Our ancestors left a decree that the Dragon Emblem fragment should not be handed over to those without martial virtue. I will never give the Dragon Emblem fragment to you!"
"Old man, do you know who this person in front of you is? He is Mr. Abernathy, the head of the top ten heritage families. If you don't reveal the whereabouts of the Dragon Emblem fragment, you are doomed today!" Devil's Frown grabbed Peter Jefferson by the collar, his face grim.
Upon hearing Peter Jefferson's words, Devil's Frown immediately became furious.
He grabbed Peter Jefferson's collar and said in a steely voice, "You know who this person in front of you is? He is Mr. Abernathy, the head of the top ten heritage families. If you don't disclose the location of the Dragon Emblem fragment, today you will meet your end!"
"You are Mr. Abernathy of the top ten heritage families?"
Peter Jefferson looked surprised at Peterson Abernathy, then burst into laughter.
"Haha!"
"I knew it! So it's the Abernathy family that lost its kingdom! Even your kingdom is lost, and you still want the Dragon Emblem fragment. How ambitious!"
Peter Jefferson sneered at Peterson Abernathy.
Peter Jefferson was born during the fall of the previous dynasty, hence he held no fondness for the Abernathy family.
Facing Peter Jefferson's mockery, Peterson Abernathy's face turned grim.
"You old stubborn fool, I don't believe your words are so tough."
Narrowing his eyes, Peterson Abernathy said menacingly, "If you don't reveal the whereabouts of the Dragon Emblem fragment, I will kill everyone in Jefferson Village. Will you speak then?"
Upon hearing this, Peter Jefferson shook with anger.
He never expected that Peterson Abernathy would threaten him with the lives of the entire Jefferson Village.
Peter Jefferson gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it! The reason why the people of Jefferson Village have lived here for generations is to protect the Dragon Emblem fragment. Even if you kill everyone in Jefferson Village, I will not tell you the location of the Dragon Emblem fragment."
Hearing this, Peterson Abernathy's face darkened to the extreme.
He did not expect Peter Jefferson to be so stubborn, even in the face of the threat to the village's lives.
Devil's Frown beside him said fiercely, "Mr. Abernathy, why not kill this old man?"
"No need!"
Peterson Abernathy waved his hand and said, "Keeping this old man alive may be useful. Don't kill him for now!"
He snorted coldly and said, "Someone, take this old man down and torture him severely. I want to see if he's afraid of death!"
"Yes!"
As the orders were given, several elders of the Abernathy family immediately took Peter Jefferson away.
Peter Jefferson immediately cursed, "Don't be smug, I have already sent word out. I believe Chris Shelby will come soon, and when he does, you will all be doomed..."
Upon hearing that Chris Shelby might come, Devil's Frown and Peterson Abernathy's faces changed.
Devil's Frown exclaimed anxiously, "Mr. Abernathy, what should we do? Peter Jefferson has managed to leak the information. If Chris Shelby really comes, we will be in trouble!"
Devil's Frown felt genuine fear towards Chris Shelby.
Before, he had suffered losses at the hands of Chris Shelby multiple times.
Because of Chris Shelby, his Ghost Sect was destroyed.
So now, just hearing Chris Shelby's name made him tremble.
Peterson Abernathy's face was equally grim.
He had ordered the lockdown of Jefferson Village when he arrived, but somehow, information still leaked.
The last time Chris Shelby attacked the Abernathy family, they suffered heavy losses.
If Chris Shelby came again this time, Peterson Abernathy wasn't sure if the family could withstand it.
"Humph!" Peterson Abernathy snorted, "We can't delay any longer. We must find the Dragon Emblem fragment as soon as possible!"
Devil's Frown hesitated, "But we have no idea where the Dragon Emblem fragment is!"
"No problem,"
Peterson Abernathy smirked, "I have made preparations. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground of Jefferson Village, we will find the Dragon Emblem fragment."
"Bring them in!"
Peterson Abernathy ordered.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, a series of thunderous rumbles could be heard.
Devil's Frown turned and was stunned to see thousands of excavators and bulldozers roaring towards them.
"This..."
Seeing this, Devil's Frown was completely dumbfounded.
Peterson Abernathy smiled triumphantly, "With these thousands of excavators and bulldozers, I don't believe we can't find the Dragon Emblem fragment!"
Devil's Frown exclaimed in delight, "Mr. Abernathy, you are truly formidable!"
Only the Abernathy family could mobilize such massive equipment.
Peterson Abernathy suddenly turned serious and said to Devil's Frown, "Devil's Frown, I entrust you with the task of finding the Victor Yellowbird's tomb and the Dragon Emblem fragment before Chris Shelby arrives. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
Devil's Frown shouted and looked serious.
Devil's Frown knew that they had to find the Dragon Emblem fragment quickly.
If Chris Shelby arrived, things would get complicated.
Even if they found the Dragon Emblem fragment, Chris Shelby wouldn't easily let them take it.
Without further ado, Devil's Frown immediately commanded the thousands of excavators and bulldozers to start digging up the entire Edmund Jefferson tomb!
Meanwhile, Chris Shelby drove with Harold Jefferson towards Jefferson Village.
This time, Chris Shelby did not bring Esther and Juliette.
The journey to Jefferson Village was dangerous and unknown, so he didn't want Esther to take the risk.
Therefore, this time, Chris Shelby brought only Harold Jefferson and Tiger with him, along with thousands of royal guards.
However, the royal guards did not accompany Chris Shelby. They followed behind. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
As for Lynx, he had returned to Middleton.
There were still many things to attend to with the Springfield Crew.
And Phoenix remained on the East Coast, leading the Guards of Death to protect the East Coast.
There was a distance between the East Coast and Jefferson Village.
After driving for about two to three hours, Chris Shelby and his group arrived at Sandford where Jefferson Village was located.
Since it was already noon, Chris Shelby decided to have lunch before heading to Jefferson Village.
After getting off the car, Harold Jefferson immediately exclaimed, "I'm starving!"
Chris Shelby couldn't help but feel speechless at Harold Jefferson, who was a big eater.
Chris Shelby and the others then went to a small restaurant in Sandford.
The restaurant was not large, with only about four or five tables, and there were not many people dining there.
After all, Sandford was just a small town, where most residents ate at home and few outsiders came to dine.
Soon, the restaurant owner came out.
With a big smile, the owner asked, "What would you like to eat?"
