Chapter 436 A Warning
However, from a personal perspective, Blanche couldn’t help but speak up.
The atmosphere had been rather gloomy initially, but after Blanche spoke those words, Emrys seemed to perk up a bit. He laughed and said, “Sierra and I acknowledging each other is already public knowledge. What else could people possibly use against me?”
“You’re so naive!” With a scoff, Blanche said, “You don’t
understand the complexities of the entertainment industry. Even if you are innocent, you can’t withstand the slander of those with malicious intent. Your presence brings no benefits to Sierra. It only attracts criticism towards her.”
“Those with malicious intent? You’re talking about Luciana, aren’t you?” Emrys suddenly asked.
Blanche looked at Emrys in surprise. “Since you already know it’s Luciana, you should consciously keep your distance from Sierra.”
“Is Luciana very impressive?”
“Regardless of impressive or not, she’s not someone you can mess with casually.”
“What if I told you I’ve already stirred up trouble?”
“What did you say?” The expression on Blanche’s face changed abruptly, her eyes widening as she said, “Are you sure you’re not joking? I can assure you, this joke isn’t funny at all.”

Chapter 436 A Warning
Of course, Luciana wasn’t the one to be feared. The real terror was the Santana family, or to be more precise, their powerful backer, the White Dragon King.
After all, Venerable Beings were not to be messed with.
Over the years, the relationship between the Langford and Santana families had reached a delicate balance, a balance that was reflected in many aspects.
The relationship between Luciana and Sierra could also be considered a kind of balance.
Luciana had always been seeking opportunities to tarnish Sierra’s reputation, a fact well–known to the Langford family. Especially after Luciana married into the Santana family, her underhanded tactics became noticeably more frequent.
However, the Langford family rarely intervened.
On one hand, it was because Luciana hadn’t taken any drastic actions yet. Despite her vindictive nature, she maintained a shred of rationality and wouldn’t easily provoke the Langford family.
On the other hand, it was because Sierra herself had said that a clean hand wanted no washing. Hence, she wasn’t afraid of being slandered.
After such a long period of covert conflict, Luciana had not managed to gain any leverage.
This represented a form of balance.

Emrys said that he had already provoked Luciana. Minor
conflicts were not much of an issue, but if a severe conflict were to erupt, it could very likely shatter this balance.
Looking at Blanche’s face, which had suddenly turned icy, Emrys found it amusing. He deliberately laughed out loud and said, “I’m not joking with you. That woman, Luciana, has people keeping an eye on Sierra all day long. Of course, I can’t stand by and do nothing.”
“Foolish! Emrys, I’ve heard from Amalia that you’re a martial artist. Perhaps this is the reason for your arrogance. But do you know? Luciana’s backer is the Santana family, and the Santana family’s backing is a Venerable Being. You’re a martial artist yourself, so I shouldn’t need to explain to you the concept of a Venerable One, right?”
There were two rumors circulating about Emrys at that time. One suggested that he was a martial artist, while the other claimed he was a friar.
Those who referred to him as a martial artist were people like Amalia, who had personally witnessed Emrys carrying Sierra up the mountain while on set.
The ones who referred to him as a friar were those paparazzi outside the film crew.
