hapter 56 Trouble With Lincoln
Hence, Emrys resignedly told Caylie that Patrick likely didn’t have the guts to offend him because he used Needle of Ninth Revival during the Eastfield Auctions.
Boy, the man was stunned by my skills then.
As for Christian, he was afraid of Emrys because he personally witnessed the incident at Cordelia Group. Also, Caylie learned about it from Cordelia.
After listening to his explanation, Caylie finally understood what transpired and thought everything made sense.
Emrys intentionally hid his identity as Empyrean Lord from her because he didn’t think she would believe him even if he told her.
After all, when he told Cordelia the same thing, she didn’t believe him.
Thus, he assumed Caylie wouldn’t, too.
It was the same as no one would believe a friend who claimed to be the world’s richest man after disappearing for fifteen years unless they saw their friend’s balance in a bank account.
Emrys‘ identity was even harder to explain. Although Cordelia and the others had heard of the title Empyrean Lord before, they wouldn’t understand what it meant even if he had the identification documents as proof of his identity.
It was then Caylie suddenly recalled something. “Oh yeah. How come you seem fine after drinking so much liquor?“.
“Now that you mentioned it, I am feeling a little drunk.” Emrys tried to act like an average person and staggered into her embrace.
She quickly hailed a taxi and brought him to Apricot Hall thinking that he was telling the truth.
Even though the road was bumpy, Emrys didn’t feel awful. It’s so nice to have Caylie around.
When they arrived at Apricot Hall, he saw the shopfront on the opposite side was undergoing
renovation.
That shopfront used to be a bakery in the past, but the previous owners moved away because it was recently bought by a new proprietor.
