Following that, Emrys approached Leiandros.
At this point, Leiandros was completely stunned. His eyes were wide open, his expression stiff with astonishment and disbelief.
He was utterly astounded to the point of madness.
He and Emrys were orphans from the same orphanage and were essentially old friends. When he saw his old friend suddenly transform into an unfathomably influential figure, his bewilderment was far greater than the shock experienced by others.
“Thank you!” Emrys walked up to Leiandros, the coldness on his face replaced by a sincere smile.
Just now, Leiandros had risked provoking the Bjorn family’s wrath to persuade him to leave. Emrys must express his gratitude to him.
“Mr. Lund…” Leiandros‘ throat was parched from the shock, so he was at a loss for words while facing Emrys.
Emrys patted his shoulder and said, “You don’t have to say anything. If you are bullied in the Bjorn residence in the future, feel free to come to me. As an old friend, I will certainly lend you a helping hand.”
This was Emrys‘ promise to Leiandros, just like how Leiandros promised to help find him a job when the latter thought he wasn’t doing well.
Tears welled up in Leiandros‘ eyes.
Meanwhile, Emrys had already left the Bjorn residence’s courtyard and arrived at the entrance. Without delay, Erwin bowed humbly and said, “Mr. Lund, do you like dogs? I can be your dog! Woof, woof!”
Erwin was also profoundly shocked.
He had known that Emrys was a cultivator since long ago, but what he had witnessed just now shook him to the core. Even a guardian from the Martial Arts Alliance had to submit to Emrys, which meant Emrys‘ identity was influential.
It was an honor to be the lapdog of such a big shot.
Emrys took the bicycle from his hands and said, “That depends on how you perform.”
“Yes, sir!”
Owen, who knelt in the courtyard of the Bjorn residence, only dared to rise long after Emrys had departed. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and the expression of reverence on his face had yet to fade.
With a strained voice, Finnley asked, “Mr. Lambourne, who exactly is that guy?”

Owen shook his head with a bitter smile. “He’s someone terrifying.”
He didn’t say much more.
Finnley gazed at his son’s corpse sorrowfully and sighed. “I can’t believe Huxley provoked such a terrifying figure this time. He even got you involved and caused you to lose your position.”
“Owen also heaved a sigh. “”I suppose I brought this upon myself. I would not have been implicated if I had behaved properly.“”
After a moment of silence, Finnley asked, “Mr. Lambourne, are you really going to turn yourself in to the Martial Arts Alliance? Why don’t you escape-”
“Shut up!”
Owen immediately interrupted Finnley, speaking sternly, “Don’t you know? Escaping won’t do you any good once you offend that person. Also, stop calling me Mr. Lambourne. I am merely a sinner.”
With that, he strode out of the Bjorn residence and traveled overnight to the Jazona Martial Arts Alliance to confess his guilt.
Finnley stood frozen on the spot, the storm of shock in his heart refusing to subside. Even though Owen did not mention a title, Emrys‘ identity was already pretty obvious. He was the Empyrean Lord.
Only the Empyrean Lord who was at the pinnacle of the nation possessed such terrifying and intimidating power.
