Chapter 158 Digging Your Own Grave
Seeing Emrys‘ attitude, Zeke roared in anger. However, Erwin waved his hand, signaling him to step back. Then, with an amused look, Erwin turned to Emrys and said, “Young man, you seem to carry quite an air of arrogance, don’t you?”
Emrys did not respond.
Erwin continued, “It’s normal for young people to have pride, but excessive pride is like digging your own grave. Do you think anyone will come to save you today?”
Erwin gave a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. He suddenly fixed a sharp gaze on Emrys,
Emrys, however, seemed completely oblivious. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, “Why should I wait for someone to come and rescue me? Can’t I save myself?”
“Save yourself?”
Erwin and Zeke exchanged a glance before bursting into laughter.
Almost choking on his laughter, Zeke said, “Haha, kid, you’re really trying to make me die of laughter. You don’t seriously think your little tricks can match my dad’s skills, do you?”
Zeke had witnessed Emrys‘ skills back at Tulip Valley, which were indeed impressive, but that should not have made him proud.
Even if an ordinary person had exceptional fighting skills, in the face of a trained martial artist, they would merely be a laughingstock.
“Is it that funny?”
Just when Erwin and his son thought they heard the biggest joke, Emrys‘ words made their laughter
abruptly stop.
“Ignorant child, now I understand why Lydia despises you so much. It’s because you are indeed ignorant and reckless!”
Erwin’s gaze finally turned serious, revealing a fierce expression. The dominating aura that had pushed Richard back earlier surged forth again.
Boom!
In an instant, the hall seemed shrouded in a terrifying shadow. Even Zeke couldn’t help but feel his heart pounding.
However, Emrys suddenly laughed.
“Erwin, do you know why I asked Delia to leave just now? It’s because I was afraid that your blood would taint her beautiful eyes!”
As Emrys spoke, he took a step forward. The imposing aura released by Erwin, instead of forcing him back, extinguished like a candle in the wind.
