Chapter 672 Ego
Displaying oneself in front of an attractive woman was indeed a matter of great prestige.
However, amidst the crowd, a bald man suddenly appeared. Without saying a word, he rushed forward and slapped Sylvia on the shoulder. Then, he pinched Sylvia’s face, all the while calling her Wifey Nina.
This behavior was truly frivolous and showed a profound disrespect towards beautiful
Women.
Jonah watched with annoyance.
What bothered him the most was that this bald man completely ignored him, as if he didn’t recognize him.
The facts proved that the bald man truly didn’t know him.
It was hard for Jonah not to question the bald man’s identity. After introducing himself, his eyes were fixed on the bald man, trying to detect any signs of guilt or unease.
However, the bald man, Emrys, remained composed. He even managed to mock Jonah with a retort, “I thought you were important. Turns out, you’re nothing special after all!”
“What did you say?” Jonah’s expression immediately turned gloomy.
The bald man standing before them was dressed as a mentee of the Crimson Sun Sect. Any mentee of the Crimson Sun Sect was required to address Jonah respectfully.
However, after learning about Jonah’s identity, this bald man not only failed to show respect but also dared to speak in such a manner. It was clear that he was blatantly disrespecting Jonah.
Moreover, it was in front of beautiful women, which made Jonah feel embarrassed.
Jonah was already feeling extremely upset.
Refusing to back down, Emrys retorted, “Do you know who I am?”
“Who are you?” Jonah held back his anger.
Emrys puffed out his chest, exuding an air of satisfaction that surpassed even what Jonah had shown earlier. He proudly declared, “Do you know Abel, the tower guard of the
1/3
Crimson Sun Tower? I am his only direct mentee.”
Anyway, it was all boasting, exaggerating to the extreme.
Within the Crimson Sun Sect, Abel held a higher rank than even the sect leader, Quincey. He could be considered the most senior member of the Crimson Sun Sect.
Jonah, the esteemed eldest mentee directly taught by Quincey, was nothing compared to the status Emrys claimed.
“Abel’s direct mentee?” Jonah was clearly taken aback, falling into deep thought. After at moment, he shook his head and said. “Impossible. I’ve never heard of Abel taking on a direct mentec.”
“That’s because you’re out of the loop. If you don’t believe me, feel free to ask Abel,” Emrys said disdainfully.
“You…” Jonah stiffened.
As a mere mentee of the Crimson Sun Sect, Jonah had no right to question Abel.
At the same time, Emrys was certain that Jonah didn’t have the courage.
Jonah then said in a deep voice, “Since you claim to be Abel’s direct mentee, do to accompany me to meet Mr. Gallagher to verify your identity?”
you
dare
Jonah didn’t dare to ask Abel, but he could certainly inquire with Quincey. If Abel had truly taken on a mentee, Quincey would definitely be aware of it.
To ascertain the truth of Emrys‘ words, he only needed to accompany Jonah to meet Quincey.
Who would have known that Emrys simply shrugged and said, “I’m sorry. I’m busy. Unless Abel and Mr. Gallagher personally summon me, there’s no need for me,to accompany you on this trip.”
