Chapter 669

A moment later, Ashley Solo stood up. "Damn, I almost died! Fortunately, I was clever and laid down

in advance," he said while grimacing in pain, covering a wound on his abdomen.

When Phoenix gave the order to fire, Ashley Solo immediately lay down on the ground. Even so, he

was hit by a stray bullet. Although the injury was not fatal, it was quite severe.

"Let's go! We must leave now; otherwise, we'll be dead!" Ashley Solo gritted his teeth. The trip to

the Jefferson family village was a nightmare for him. Not only did he fail to obtain the Dragon

Emblem fragment, but the entire Middleton Alliance's three thousand experts were also wiped out.

He wondered what kind of punishment he would face when he returned.

At the same time, not far from the Jefferson family village, in a small mountain ravine, Guardian

Michael sat on a large rock, healing his injuries with his eyes closed. After more than ten minutes of

healing, his internal injuries had stabilized significantly. However, his appearance seemed to have

aged considerably, all because of Chris.

Guardian Michael muttered through gritted teeth, "Chris, all of this is thanks to you! I swear to

avenge this humiliation!” Whenever he thought of Chris, the hatred in his heart surged like a stormy

sea. His trip to the Jefferson family village was a complete failure. Not only were his subordinates

annihilated, but his own fortune was also taken away by Chris.

"Let's go!" Guardian Michael didn't dare to stay any longer. He bit his teeth, enduring the pain, and

quickly left.

Within a day, the tens of thousands of warriors who had gathered in the Jefferson family village had

all disappeared. Curious people who went to Golden Top found numerous corpses, which terrified

them. When the news reached the Jefferson family village, the villagers only knew that the warriors

had died.

Peter Jefferson personally issued a gag order. The villagers could not leak this incident. It

immediately became a taboo in the Jefferson family village. As for the thousands of corpses lying at

the foot of Golden Top, Chris ordered Phoenix and the Guards of Death to clean them up overnight.

As night fell, the entire Jefferson family village was shrouded in darkness. However, the ancestral

hall of the Jefferson family was brightly lit. Chris and Peter Jefferson sat across from each other at a

tea table, with steam rising from the teapot.

After gulping down a cup of tea, Chris said, "Old man, I plan to return to the East Coast tomorrow!"

The Dragon Emblem fragment was already in his possession, and staying in the Jefferson family

village no longer held any meaning for Chris. Moreover, Candace Nance was planning to open a

branch on the East Coast, and he didn't know what kind of waves that would create. He had to

return as soon as possible.

Peter Jefferson nodded and said, "Yes, you should go back." He didn't seem to have any attachment

to Chris staying, as if asking Chris to come was merely a trivial matter.

"However, old man, before I leave, I have a question that I must ask you!" Chris said, taking out the

Dragon Emblem fragment from his pocket. He asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is this Dragon

Emblem fragment blank?"

At that moment, if it weren't for Chris himself taking the Dragon Emblem fragment from the coffin,

he would have thought that he had obtained a fake.

In response to Chris's question, Peter Jefferson took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile, "Have

you forgotten about the dragon-shaped jade pendant you have?"
