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!"
