The newcomer’s face was stoic, and his height was close to two meters tall. He wore a khaki combat uniform with a crest of the ancient dragon royal family as a symbol of his status.
His eyes had nearly no whites as his gaze swept over the audience. Even Elder Whitmore seemed quite surprised by his arrival.
He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “My lord, why are you here?”
“Why? Am I not welcome?” When this person spoke, everyone felt as if they were trapped in an ice cellar.
“We welcome you, of course.”
Elder Whitmore broke out in a cold sweat and said, “What orders do you have, my lord?”
Except for a few steady people in the crowd, most of the people started whispering among themselves.
“Hasn’t the royal family already sent us someone?”
“This person looks like a member of the Shell family, a true member of the ancient dragon royal family.”
“Really? Do they value us so much?”
The gloomy man coughed and said aloud, “I’m Hardy Shell, here today to go with all of you to the forbidden land and help you in getting the secret treasure.”
Before he finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
In the middle of the line, Philip asked Claire in puzzlement, “Why is everyone so quiet?”
