Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1204

Chapter 1204: Rescuing the Old Village Chief

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Chris Shelby took Tiger to the Jefferson Village shrine.

The Jefferson Village shrine used to be the residence of Peter Jefferson, but it had now been occupied by the Abernathy family.

When Chris Shelby arrived at the shrine, he found a table full of food, mostly lavish dishes of fish and meat. There was also a bottle of extremely fine wine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

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

Chris Shelby glanced 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 Shelby laughed 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 Village, 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 succeeded, 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 can compete for them. What do you think?"

Chris Shelby immediately saw through Devil's Frown's plan. It was a stalling tactic: negotiate now, find the scroll fragments together, and then fight over them later.

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