Chapter 317 The Celestial Token

Larissa remained silent, turning her head to look at Emrys instead.

Emrys sneered inwardly, then shook his head and said, “I’m not satisfied.”

“Oh?” Monaldo narrowed his eyes and asked, “So, how do you plan to punish Soren, Mr. Lund? Should I dismiss him from his position and forbid him from rejoining the Martial Arts Alliance? Or should I throw him into the dungeon?”

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

Generally speaking, after providing such a significant way out, anyone with a sense of propriety would let the matter slide. Then, both parties could sit down for a meal as if nothing had happened. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

However, when Emrys shook his head indicating his dissatisfaction, it naturally soured Monaldo’s mood.

In order to persuade Emrys to know when to stop, Monaldo added meaningfully, “Mr. Lund, although Soren was the first to act out of personal considerations in this matter, you must not forget that Travis has already died at your hands.”

He was issuing a threat.

After all, Emrys had indeed killed a person. If he continued to push his luck, Monaldo was fully capable of making a big issue out of this matter.

What does it matter if you are a Venerable One? I represent the Chanaea Martial Arts Alliance, where numerous Venerable Ones preside over the main alliance. If we were to fall out, it would benefit no one.

Monaldo thought he had hinted quite clearly, but to his surprise, Emrys shook his head and said, “I’m not satisfied.”

With a cold gaze, Monaldo looked at Larissa with a forced smile and said, “Ms. Lockwood, your younger brother sure is stubborn.”

The implication of these words was to tell Larissa to quickly persuade Emrys to quit while he was

ahead.

Larissa didn’t get a chance to speak before Emrys shook his head again and said, “I’ve already told you, I’m not satisfied. Are you deaf from all your incessant chattering?”

In an instant, the temperature in the air dropped sharply.

The expression on Monaldo’s face had turned utterly cold, for Emrys’ words just now were exceedingly disrespectful. It was clear that he intended to pursue the matter to the end.

How could he be so ungrateful?

Theseus scolded angrily, “How dare you! Watch your tone when you speak to Mr. Scarpelli. Don’t think that just because you’re a Venerable One, you can do whatever you want. If it weren’t for Ms. Lockwood’s sake, do you think we would be standing here wasting our time with you?”

“Wasting time?” Emrys gave a cold laugh, saying, “All right, then I won’t waste any more of your time. My demand is this: you, Theseus, are to be dismissed from your position and forever barred from rejoining the Martial Arts Alliance. And you, Monaldo, are to be demoted.”

The surroundings fell silent.

After a long time.

With a furious roar, Monaldo said, “Young man, you’ve really overstepped your bounds! Who gave you the audacity to dictate orders to us!”

His entire being radiated a chilling aura, his anger uncontrollable. Clearly, he intended to burn bridges completely.

Larissa was also taken aback by Emrys’ words just now, but immediately her face turned icy as she said, “Monaldo, you are a respected chief. You knowingly let your subordinates act out of personal bias, yet you shield them from punishment. Can you truly justify your title as a leader?”

She was no naive innocent. Having managed to secure the position of the chief of the Central Chanaean Martial Arts Alliance, her thoughts were obviously far from simple.

From the way Monaldo adeptly deflected blame onto Soren, it was clear that this matter was far from simple. Who would believe that Theseus hadn’t been showing favoritism?

With a cold tone, Monaldo remarked, “Ms. Lockwood, your younger brother lacks discretion. Surely, you are not as naive as him?”

“I cannot say for certain whether Issa is naive or

not, but what I do know is that you have dared to offend me, and you will not escape punishment. Kneel!” Emrys exclaimed abruptly, revealing a token with a flick of his hand.

It was none other than the Celestial Token!

There was only one of its kind in the entire Chanaea.

Furthermore, no one dared to replicate it, nor did anyone possess the capability to do so!

Emrys was none other than the Empyrean Lord!

In this moment, Monaldo was nearly terrified. As soon as he laid eyes on the Celestial Token, he fell to his knees with a loud thud.
