Chapter 498 Empyrean Lord
“Max…
“Shut up!” Maximus impatiently interrupted Shanise, leaving her stunned.
Seeing her distraught expression, Maximus softened and couldn’t help but say, “You really don’t need to worry about me because. Rys is formidable. He’s the Empyrean Lord.”
Empyrean Lord?
Shanise was dumbfounded.
At that moment, Emrys suddenly approached Maximus and asked, “Are you finished talking?”
Maximus nodded.
The two of them exited the seafood restaurant.
With an apologetic expression, Maximus said, “Rys, I’m sorry.”
“Huh?”
Is it common to apologize now?
Emrys was momentarily puzzled. “Why are you apologizing to me?”
“I just revealed your identity to Shanise.”

Chapter 408 Empyrean Lord
Maximus vividly remembered that Emrys had warned him not to casually reveal his identity. However, after witnessing Shanise’s reaction just now, he couldn’t resist.
Maximus had already prepared himself for a harsh scolding from Emrys.
However, Emrys casually patted his shoulder and said, “I heard it. Even if you reveal my identity, Shanise may not believe it. And even if she does believe it, no one else will.”
After all, the Empyrean Lord was regarded as a godlike figure to the Chanaeans.
People would sooner believe in Christmas miracles than believe that the Empyrean Lord was a young man in his early twenties.
Otherwise, witnesses wouldn’t display such shocked expressions every time Emrys revealed his identity.
Emrys continued, “You’ve got some backbone, lad. You didn’t degrade yourself into a simp. I’m impressed by the way you handled things just now.”
Maximus remained silent.
“Furthermore, I didn’t misjudge you. Despite knowing that Jipsdale would be hit by a heavy storm in the coming days, you still resolutely chose to stand with me on the front lines. That’s true loyalty.”
Maximus couldn’t help but say, “Rys, didn’t you say you were stepping aside just now?”

Chapter 498 Empyrean Lord
“I did step aside, all the way to the window. But people are always a bit curious. I just happened to overhear a little bit of your conversation.”
Is this what you call a little bit? Shanise and I only spoke for a short while. Did you perhaps use a loudspeaker and listen to the entire conversation right next to your ear? You stepped aside for nothing!
Back at the Langford residence, the atmosphere was oppressively
tense.
“Kneel down!”
Suddenly, a palm slammed onto the solid wooden table, causing a vibrating shock, accompanied by a stern and harsh roar.
The one who slammed the table was Alpheus.
The one being scolded was Blanche.
Blanche stood in the middle of the hall, surrounded by members. of the Langford family. They all glared at her darkly as if she had committed a grave sin.
If looks could kill, Blanche would have been riddled with holes by now.
