Chapter 581 Gilbert And Teagan
Vaughn dared not carelessly reveal Emrys‘ identity.
Emrys gave him a long look and said nothing more.
During that time, Vaughn didn’t even dare to breathe.
The remaining guests at the scene were completely bewildered. They couldn’t understand why Vaughn was showing such respect to Emrys. Could it be that his earlier confrontation with Emrys was just an act for Gilbert’s benefit?
That must be it. They must have been best friends.
Meanwhile, Gilbert caught up with Bernard’s pace. “Dad, why did you make me apologize to that jerk just now? You saw how arrogant he was, why didn’t you teach him a lesson? You should know that in the past, you…”
With a piercing, icy glare, Bernard silenced Gilbert immediately.
After a short while, Bernard withdrew his gaze and said, “Being a guardian is not easy. You don’t know how many people are watching you from below. It would be best for you to keep a low profile for a while.”
Bernard was a man who reveled in
power.
He had gone to great lengths to secure his position as a guardian.
Now, after much difficulty, an opportunity had finally arisen to overthrow the Mapleton family. Having climbed to this position, the foundation was still not stable, so it was necessary to act discreetly.
Just a moment ago, Emrys had openly criticized Gilbert for his lack of manners right in front of him. How could Bernard not be furious?
But could he kill Emrys?
Would it be appropriate to kill Emrys in front of such a large crowd?
If he had killed Emrys, or rather, given Emrys a lesson, it wouldn’t be long before the martial arts community in Jipsdale spread the word that he and his son were bullying the weak.

He had just taken office and was already so domineering. What would it be like in the future?
It would provide his arch enemies with an opportunity to strike.
Therefore, Berard chose to be patient. Once he had firmly established himself in the future, it would be a simple matter to settle old scores with Emrys.
After hearing his father’s explanation, Gilbert felt frustrated and annoyed.
He was the type of person who sought revenge for the smallest grievance, and he wanted to seek retribution right then and there.
He wasn’t sure when he would be able to confront Emrys again.
By the time Bernard finally found his footing, it would already be too late.
Gilbert didn’t pay attention to a single word Bernard had said.
He felt that his father was worrying about things that may never happen.
It wouldn’t be so easy to bring down a respected guardian of the Martial Arts Alliance, for he hadn’t made a fundamental mistake like the Mapleton family.
Moreover, among these high–ranking members of the Martial Arts Alliance, who could honestly claim their records were entirely clean?
It was just that they had never been exposed.
Gilbert arrived at a nightclub, feeling incredibly frustrated. He ordered the company of a few attractive hostesses but found himself completely uninterested. He quickly dismissed these dolled–up women after a short while.
“Mr. Cunningham.”
At that moment, a man with a fawning smile approached and offered Gilbert a drink.
Gilbert glanced at him disdainfully, scoffing, “Teagan, you’ve been trying to win favor quite frequently lately, haven’t you?”
The man was indeed Teagan.
