Chapter 580 Reasons To Keep It A Secret
The insult, while not particularly vulgar, had a wide–ranging impact.
It wasn’t just Gilbert who was scolded, Bernard was also berated, as was the entire Cunningham family. Moreover, this
happened right in front of Bernard.
The scene fell silent once again.
A silence as deep as death.
Everyone looked at Emrys, their emotions a complex mix. They no longer knew what to say to him.
Judging from Bernard’s behavior just now, it was clear that he intended to turn hostility into friendship. He demanded Gilbert to
apologize, showing ample respect to Emrys.
If Emrys had simply accepted the apology, that would have been the end of it. But he just had to be sarcastic, saying he couldn’t
be bothered to argue with someone who lacked manners. How was Bernard supposed to take that?
It was completely outrageous!
Gilbert’s face contorted with rage, his teeth grinding loudly as if he wished nothing more than to kill Emrys on the spot and
devour his flesh and blood.
He wanted this punk to understand that arrogance came with a heavy price.
A twitch tugged at the corner of Bernard’s mouth as he stared at Emrys, remaining silent. He looked extremely dangerous at the
moment.
He was considering whether or not he should teach Emrys a lesson.
Vaughn gave a bitter smile in his heart.
Had it not been for the brief skirmish just now, he might have thought, like everyone else. present, that Emrys was simply inviting
trouble.
However, at that moment, he disagreed.
A cultivator had nothing to fear from the guardian of the Martial Arts Alliance, for even the chief of the Martial Arts Alliance had to
show respect to Emrys.

A being like Emrys, the rules of the ordinary world and the martial arts field had long ceased to affect him. Anyone foolish
enough to provoke him could only blame themselves for their misfortune.
On the other hand, in general, cultivators wouldn’t bother to lift a finger against these people, as the was no benefit to be gained.
Just like a group of ants on the ground, who would have the time to urinate and flood their nest?
It was a very rare occasion.
Unless that swarm of ants made the first move to attack.
This was precisely Emrys‘ situation at the time.
Darrell and Gilbert were like blind ants, tired of their ordinary existence. They yearned to taste the essence of Emrys‘ life, curious
about its unique flavor.
And for this, they might have to pay with their lives.
Vaughn understood that if he didn’t step forward to intervene, there was a high chance that Bernard would also become just
another ant in the colony.
Hence, Vaughn was preparing to mediate, urging both parties to calm down.
The main goal was to help Bernard calm down.
However, before Vaughn could even speak, Bernard burst into laughter. The gloomy expression on his face faded away as he
said, “Emrys is right. It’s my fault for not disciplining him properly. I will certainly discipline this little brat more strictly in the future.”
“Dad...”
“Shut up! Come with me right now and reflect on your actions!”
With an angry voice, Bernard rebuked them. Then, he turned his gaze to Emrys and Vaughn. “Emrys, Chancellor Diaz, I must
take my leave!”
Having said that, he turned around and left.
A look of unwillingness filled Gilbert’s face, his inner frustration reaching its peak.

He didn’t understand.
Even though Bernard’s position was higher than before, his way of resolving things had changed.
However, since Bernard had spoken like that, even if Gilbert harbored great resentment, he could only follow along in frustration
and leave.
Right before he left, his gaze was serious as he lowered his voice and said, “Cowardly Grandmaster, consider yourself lucky
today. You’ve managed to escape with your life. But rest assured, I will settle this score with you sooner or later.”
Emrys didn’t bother to respond.
Vaughn, on the other hand, sighed in exasperation. Why are you still seeking revenge? Can’t you just live your life properly?
Emrys cast a glance at him, his face displaying a blend of amusement and seriousness as he inquired, “Why didn’t you give
them a heads–up?”
“A heads–up about what?” Vaughn was momentarily taken aback, but soon grasped that Emrys was questioning why he hadn’t
informed Bernard and Gilbert about his cultivation abilities.
Vaughn responded with a hint of resentment, “Wasn’t it because you were afraid of offending them?”
From Vaughn’s perspective, Emrys was undeniably a cultivator, yet he publicly identified himself as a temperer grandmaster.
There had to be a reason behind this.
