Chapter 8

    “Mr. Lund, how may I help you?” A polite voice rang out from the phone speaker after the call


    connected. “Help me hack into a personalwork. I want all the documents and pictures on his


    computer. Send the files to me as soon as possible.” “Yes, Sir!” After giving the brief and concise


    instruction, Emrys hung up the call and sent the other party a man’s resume. The resume belonged to


    none other than Zachary. Emrys was present when Cordelia fired Zachary yesterday. Through his


    observation, he noticed something fishy about Zachary. First of all, when facing Cordelia’s


    interrogation, Zachary didn’t even bother to exin himself and directly admitted that he had colluded


    with Allure Group. Secondly, he shed an obvious smirk during his departure as if he was scheming


    something. Considering the recent and uing activities nned by Cordelia Group, Emrys had a


    hunch that the most likely event to be tampered with was thepany’s new productunch the next


    day. He had copied Zachary’s resume from thepany’s database and ordered someone to hack into


    thetter’sputer. Emrys was confident he could acquire some dirt on Zachary to prevent thetter


    from doing anything foolish during the press conference. That was Emrys’ safety measure. After


    breakfast, Emrys went downstairs to take a walk. When he arrived at the mansion garden, he saw


    someone standing outside the courtyard door. The stranger was a man in his forties with a squarish


    face and closely-trimmed beard. He wore a stern and dignified facial expression. That man was


    Osmond Langdon, but the people of Jadeborough usually addressed him as “South River King.”


    “Greetings, Empyrean Lord! I’m Osmond Langdon, South River King,” Osmond greeted in a sonorous


    voice, abruptly bending his b*dy into a ny-degree bow when he saw Emrys. He had been waiting


    there for over an hour, standing with a straight back the whole time as if a moment of cking would


    lower his reverence toward Emrys. He had changed only his posture into a bow when Emrys showed


    up. “You’re quick to receive news of my arrival,” Emrys uttered nonchntly while ncing at Osmond.


    He wasn’t familiar with anyone who went by the title “South River King,” but he could sense that


    Osmond practiced martial arts. “My elder brother is General Chance’s subordinate, and he deliberately


    reminded me to care for your needs, Empyrean Lord.” “Care for my needs? Aren’t you here to butter


    me up?” Emrys snorted. “I would never dare to do that!” Osmond broke out in a cold sweat. He felt as if


    a mountain was pinning him down and suffocating him. Empyrean Lord’s aura is too terrifying. Others


    might think Emrys was just an average Joe. However, anyone who was slightly acquainted with him


    would realize the more ordinary a person seemed, the scarier they were. Osmond was a prime


    example. If he weren’t informed about Emrys’ identity in advance, he would assume thetter was just


    a typical teenager. However, after he learned about Emrys’ status, Emrys’ every word and action


    brought immense pressure upon him. “Rx. Regardless of your intention, you havee at the right


    time.” Right when Osmond was about to be smothered, Emrys’ words revitalized him. “Your wish is my


    command!” “Good.” Emrys nodded. “There are a few things I need you to do. First, I suspect Prime


    Realty has something to do with the fire at Sunshine Children’s Home fifteen years ago, so I want you


    to carry out a thorough investigation on the person in charge. Second, my sister’spany, Cordelia


    Group, will be having a press conference for their new productunch tomorrow. I hope you’ll set an


    example. The third thing is…” After Emrys exined the tasks to Osmond, thetter retreated politely,


    utter excitement churning within him. The opportunity to serve Empyrean Lord is an honor countless


    people yearn for. I wonder how many people will be jealous of me, knowing I am fortunate enough to


    be blessed with this privilege. Not long after Osmond left, Emrys received an email notification. He


    returned to his room and used Cordelia’sputer to log in to his email ount to download the


    compressed folder. After unzipping the file, he noticed the folder contained some shocking content.


    Emrys couldn’t help but curl his lips into a contemptuous smile. “Amazing!” Nothing will happen to


    Zachary if he stays obedient. Conversely, if he’s foolish enough to stir up trouble during tomorrow’s


    event, these documents I have are sufficient to ruin his reputation. The next day, one after the other,


    members of the media showed up at the conference hall on the thirteenth floor of Cordelia Group.


    Cordelia emphasized, “You must check their work ID properly and don’t let any irrelevant people enter.”


    The chief security officer, Henry Graham, patted his chest and assured her, “Ms. Youngblood, you can


    count on me.” Nevertheless, Cordelia still felt uneasy when she was preparing backstage. Emrys


    pinched her palm and asked, “What’s the matter, Delia?” “I don’t know. My right eyelid has been


    twitching since morning. I can’t shake off this sense of foreboding in my heart.” “Things will be fine. I’m


    here. Even if the world copses, I’ll be here to support you.” “The only thing you’re capable of is


    followed by the entrance of Zachary. Tagging alongside him was Simon. Simon was sitting in a


    wheelchair, and both his legs were in casts. One of his arms was also covered in bandages and slung


    in front of his chest. When Henry took in the scene, instead of stopping them, he stepped forward and


    took the initiative to help Simon push his wheelchair. A reporter immediately ced a microphone near


    Zachary’s mouth. “Sir, are there any grudges between you and Cordelia Group?” “Of course. I’m the


    seasoned employee who was dismissed by Cordelia.”
