Facing Chris Shelby's mockery, a hint of anger appeared on Lord Jenson's face. He asked, half-smiling, "Why do you want to see me so badly? I'm afraid you'll regret it once you do."
"What do you mean?" Chris Shelby squinted his eyes and asked.
Regret? That's a joke! Chris Shelby never regretted anything he did! Lord Jenson claimed that he would regret it.
Could it be that he was actually Amerosia Master William? But Chris Shelby knew it was impossible. Amerosia Master William was a highly respected figure. How could he become a mere Lord Jenson? Unless he had gone crazy!
But if Lord Jenson was not Amerosia Master William... then who could he be?
"Hehe!" Lord Jenson chuckled lightly. "You're that curious about my identity? Well, I'll satisfy your curiosity."
After speaking, Lord Jenson slowly removed his mask.
Chris Shelby's gaze became sharper. His breathing quickened. He was extremely curious about Lord Jenson's identity!
Finally, Lord Jenson took off his mask, revealing an old and imposing face.
In an instant, Chris Shelby's eyes widened in disbelief. He recognized this face all too well, especially the resemblance between the eyebrows and the person who sat on the throne in the Golden Dragon Palace, the supreme one!
"Lord Protector!" Chris Shelby gritted his teeth, one word at a time.
Chris Shelby couldn't believe it. Lord Jenson was actually Lord Protector! After all, Lord Protector was Amerosia Master William's younger brother, a prince of Amerosia! How could such a noble person become Lord Jenson? And he even allied with the Wind family to snatch the Dragon Emblem fragments!
What did Lord Protector want to achieve? Was he planning a rebellion?
Suddenly, Chris Shelby was startled. It was only now that he understood the deeply hidden dark power mentioned in Master William's secret order. Lord Protector, along with the ten heritage families, the Middleton families controlled by the Hall of Death, the Ghost Gate, and the various forces controlled by the former Ghost Gate Master, all formed an impenetrable web of conflicts!
Perhaps Master William had already sensed this, which was why he issued the secret order for Chris Shelby to investigate.
Yes, it must be so! Who was Master William? He was the man who controlled the entire Amerosia! And he had two intelligence agencies, Dragon Crew and Team Thunder. How could they not have discovered anything?
Why did Master William let him investigate? Chris Shelby thought that Lord Protector's identity must be extremely special. He was Master William's brother, and a prince of Amerosia with significant influence in the royal court. Taking action against Lord Protector recklessly would certainly cause turmoil in the Amerosia court. And with the intricate forces behind Lord Protector, if things went wrong, the entire Amerosia would plunge into chaos!
No wonder Master William agreed for him to return to the East Coast. There must be deep considerations behind this arrangement. But he wondered if this arrangement was Master William's intention or his mentor's. After all, his mentor was Master William's teacher, and Master William listened to his mentor's opinions!
Regardless of whether it was Master William or his mentor's intention, the sight of Lord Protector still shocked Chris Shelby to the core.
