It was a casual remark, but it caused a sudden change in Theseus’ complexion. His voice filled with shock and fear as he exclaimed, “How can there be such a terrifying aura? Could it be that you are a Venerable One?”
A Venerable One, also known as a Venerable Being, represented a powerful existence that held a higher rank than a Manifestor grandmaster.
Emrys had simply let out a light shout, yet it left everyone trembling, their blood surging with overwhelming energy. Even Theseus, who was a Manifestor, found himself unable to move.
Theseus believed that only a Venerable One could exude such an intimidating aura, but he couldn’t believe how young Emrys was. Could a Venerable One be so young?
The shock in Theseus’ heart was so intense that it felt like his heart would burst.
“Did you not hear me? Are you Mr. Petrakis?” Emrys spoke again, his voice as calm as ever. Despite no change in his tone, it once again caused Theseus to tremble violently, as if his breath was about to stop at that very moment.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Theseus responded, “I… I am Theseus Petrakis, the guardian of the Drieso Martial Arts Alliance!”
“Was Travis your mentee?” Emrys asked again.
“Yes…”
“Did your personal bias play a part in this martial arts tournament between the Ginger and Houghton families?” Emrys asked again.
“Yes…”
Under the powerful aura of Emrys, Theseus, the dignified guardian of the Martial Arts Alliance, seemed as if he had been scared witless. Whatever Emrys asked, he would answer without hesitation. It was as if, at that moment, Theseus had become the wanted criminal, and Emrys had assumed the role of the judge.
The scene was extraordinarily eerie.
The crowd that had previously been repelled by Emrys’ terrifying aura did not dare to approach, However, each one of them was all ears, eavesdropping.
Everyone’s faces turned peculiar when they heard the conversation between the two of them.
Although they had speculated when Soren stated that Travis was Theseus’ mentee, that this duel was definitely influenced by Theseus’ favoritism, the meaning was entirely different when it came from Theseus’ own mouth.
