Chapter 546 Catching Up
It seemed that I have to step up my efforts too, striving to keep pace with Rys. In her heart, Cordelia secretly made a vow.
Suddenly, Ninette’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts. “Rys, we’ve already seen the treasure. Now, what’s the story behind these peculiar clothes you’re wearing?”
As they spoke about Emrys‘ outfit, several beautiful women once again curiously shifted their gaze onto him.
They couldn’t believe that Emrys dressed so oddly just to tease them.
Emrys spoke somewhat awkwardly. “My own clothes were torn for some reason when I was in the underwater world. I happened to pass by an Ibican man who was laughing happily, so I ended up taking his clothes.”
When the Ibican saw the guardian of the Chanaea fall, he nearly laughed his head off. However, the moment he turned around, he was knocked unconscious by a massive fist. When he came to, he found himself stark naked, tied up on the deck.
It was truly a case of “Don’t celebrate too soon as things could still go wrong.”
Caylie laughed and teasingly said, “Emrys, you really are too mischievous.”
“Hehe, you flatter me, Caylie.”
“Rys, what happened to your dragon mask? How did it crack? Also, your sword is in the hands of the Anglandur Divinity martial artist. Aren’t you planning to retrieve it?” Ninette asked again.
Emrys looked toward the expanse of the sea, his gaze landing on the Anglandur Divinity martial artist who was arrogantly suspended in mid–air.
Suddenly, he grinned. “During my last visit to the Langford residence, Blanche’s grandfather imparted a principle to me, ‘When a significant figure faces a downfall, it leads to the emergence of various hidden challenges!“”
After a moment, Yelena responded, “Are you implying that everything that happened was deliberately orchestrated by you, just to create the illusion for the world that you were already dead?”
Emrys gave her an approving glance. “You’re right. Only by making them believe I was

dead could many things hidden in the shadows dare to reveal themselves.”
The fearsome reputation of the Sky Devourer Lord was truly terrifying. It suppressed the martial artists of various nations around the world, preventing them from raising their heads. As long as he lived for one more day, those powers dared not act rashly.
However, it was, after all, a threat.
If the Sky Devourer Lord were to die, those powers would certainly become restless. Once they had reached their peak, Emrys would strike them with a devastating blow.
He would accomplish the whole task in one stroke.
Emrys continued, “Issa, haven’t you always been worried about the mutant issue? Once the news of the Empyrean Lord’s death spreads completely, those genetically modified individuals hiding in Chanaea will probably be unable to sit still, right?”
Larissa’s eyes lit up, revealing her sparkling little tiger teeth as she said, “That makes sense, Rys, you’re really too clever. Come, I will reward you with a sweet kiss.”
Emrys suddenly stepped back, his expression serious as he said, “Please respect yourself, Issa. I am already a married man.”
Karina’s face on the side blushed slightly.
Larissa was taken aback for a moment but quickly recovered. She scoffed and said, “You had your chance and you blew it. I even feel like I’ve been shortchanged, hmph!”
Yelena, holding Karina’s hand, said, “Karina, listen to me. You can’t indulge this little ruffian. He’s taking advantage of your meekness. The next time he calls you ‘wifey,’ you must resist.”
“I…” Karina cautiously glanced at Emrys, noticing his seemingly amused gaze fixed on her.
Instantly, her cheeks grew even hotter.
The fact that she had already become involved with Rys was something she truly didn’t know how to explain to the others.
At that moment, Ninette let out a sudden sigh and said, “Although I was aware that this was part of Rys‘ plan, it was unbearable to see Atharian strutting around so arrogantly. I really had the urge to rush over and punch him!”
Emrys chuckled, “Don’t worry, their time of regret will come. What we need to do now is
