Chapter 556 He Is No Big Deal
This is it. This fellow, surprisingly, is promoting me in such a manner.
Unwilling to indulge him, Emrys immediately responded, “He’s alright, I suppose. I don’t think Mr. Emerentius is as extraordinary as everyone says. Perhaps those paintings are just something he does to pass the time, not something that warrants such profound interpretation.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present, except Chandler, drastically changed.
They all knew that Emerentius held an extremely high status within the calligraphy and painting circles. Thus, most enthusiasts of these arts regarded him as an idol, and Chandler was no different.
However, Emrys had dared to utter such words, clearly aiming to embarrass Chandler.
Even if one was the renowned miracle doctor of Jadeborough and had the favor of the governor, one still couldn’t be so rude.
I can’t believe how tactless he is!
However, everyone initially thought that Chandler’s face would turn unsightly. To their surprise, not only did Chandler not show any displeasure, but his smile became increasingly peculiar.
Something was very wrong.
All that could be heard was Chandler laughing as he said, “Emrys, from what you were saying earlier, it seems like you have your own unique insights into the world of calligraphy and painting. Why don’t you paint one for us all to see?”
Just as expected, Mr. York is indeed angry. He plans to ridicule Emrys after his painting is completed, using this as an outlet to vent his inner dissatisfaction. Mr. York is indeed brilliant!
Everyone sighed softly in their hearts. A middle–aged man sitting across from Emrys subtly signaled him with his eyes, implying that Emrys should quickly say something nice.
Emrys understood and said, “I’m not going to paint. After all, even if I do, my work won’t differ much from that of Mr. Emerentius.”
Shocked, the middle–aged man across nearly fell off his chair.

Idiot! I can’t believe how incompetent he is! This time. Mr. York will definitely show his anger, right?
Everyone cautiously turned their gaze toward Chandler, only to be surprised to find that he maintained his peculiar expression.
It was too bizarre to them.
Chandler stared at Emrys for a while. Seeing that he still showed no reaction, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, feeling a deep sense of regret in his heart.
For a person who valued talent, the inability to showcase the talent they held in their hands was an extremely frustrating matter.
However, judging by Emrys’s demeanor, it was clear that he had no intention of revealing his identity. Thus, Chandler knew it was inappropriate for him to tell everyone that Emrys was actually Emerentius.
As a result, the anticipated effect was not achieved.
What Chandler hoped for was to draw out the truth. Through his careful guidance, he wanted Emrys to gradually reveal himself as Emerentius. Ideally, he would even paint on the spot.
When the colleagues saw the painting, everything would become clear to them.
Only in this way could maximum shock be achieved.
However, if this identity was revealed by Chandler, it would somehow lose some of its excitement.
The group at the table chatted for a while longer. This time, Chandler didn’t deliberately steer the conversation. As they talked, quite naturally, the conversation drifted back to Empyrean Lord.
News of Empyrean Lord’s demise had been spreading far and wide during this period.
The citizens of Chanaea, whether they were ordinary people or martial artists, would all mention it in passing, their faces filled with sorrow.
Now that Empyrean Lord had fallen, their faith crumbled together.
Never had the people of Chanaea ever experienced such despair before.
Seeing their spirits suddenly fall, Emrys spoke in a subdued tone. “Actually, the fall of
