Chapter 436 A Warning


    However, from a personal perspective, nche couldn’t help but speak up.


    The atmosphere had been rather gloomy initially, but after nche spoke those words, Emrys seemed to perk up a bit. Heughed and said, “Sierra and I acknowledging each other is already public knowledge. What else could people possibly use against me?”


    “You’re so naive!” With a scoff, nche said, “You don’t


    understand theplexities of the entertainment industry. Even if you are innocent, you can’t withstand the nder of those with malicious intent. Your presence brings no benefits to Sierra. It only attracts criticism towards her.”


    “Those with malicious intent? You’re talking about Luciana, aren’t you?” Emrys suddenly asked.


    nche looked at Emrys in surprise. “Since you already know it’s Luciana, you should consciously keep your distance from Sierra.”


    “Is Luciana very impressive?”


    “Regardless of impressive or not, she’s not someone you can mess with casually.”


    “What if I told you I’ve already stirred up trouble?”


    “What did you say?” The expression on nche’s face changed abruptly, her eyes widening as she said, “Are you sure you’re not joking? I can assure you, this joke isn’t funny at all.”


    Of course, Luciana wasn’t the one to be feared. The real terror was the Santana family, or to be more precise, their powerful backer, the White Dragon King.


    After all, Venerable Beings were not to be messed with.


    Over the years, the rtionship between the Langford and Santana families had reached a delicate bnce, a bnce that was reflected in many aspects.


    The rtionship between Luciana and Sierra could also be considered a kind of bnce.


    Luciana had always been seeking opportunities to tarnish Sierra’s reputation, a fact well–known to the Langford family. Especially after Luciana married into the Santana family, her underhanded tactics became noticeably more frequent.


    However, the Langford family rarely intervened.


    On one hand, it was because Luciana hadn’t taken any drastic actions yet. Despite her vindictive nature, she maintained a shred of rationality and wouldn’t easily provoke the Langford family.


    On the other hand, it was because Sierra herself had said that a clean hand wanted no washing. Hence, she wasn’t afraid of being ndered.


    After such a long period of covert conflict, Luciana had not managed to gain any leverage.


    This represented a form of bnce.


    Emrys said that he had already provoked Luciana. Minorconflicts were not much of an issue, but if a severe conflict were to erupt, it could very likely shatter this bnce.


    Looking at nche’s face, which had suddenly turned icy, Emrys found it amusing. He deliberatelyughed out loud and said, “I’m not joking with you. That woman, Luciana, has people keeping an eye on Sierra all day long. Of course, I can’t stand by and do nothing.”


    “Foolish! Emrys, I’ve heard from Amalia that you’re a martial artist. Perhaps this is the reason for your arrogance. But do you know? Luciana’s backer is the Santana family, and the Santana family’s backing is a Venerable Being. You’re a martial artist yourself, so I shouldn’t need to exin to you the concept of a Venerable One, right?”


    There were two rumors circting about Emrys at that time. One suggested that he was a martial artist, while the other imed he was a friar.


    Those who referred to him as a martial artist were people like Amalia, who had personally witnessed Emrys carrying Sierra up the mountain while on set.


    The ones who referred to him as a friar were those paparazzi outside the film crew.


    The film crew did amendable job with security, making it quite difficult for the paparazzi to gain ess. They could only take sneaky shots from a considerable distance, which inevitably resulted in less clear images.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Furthermore, on that particr day, Emrys had his face concealed. Therefore, even if the paparazzi, who were lurking outside the film crew, managed to capture this scene, they would simply assume that it was an actor from the crew performing astunt.


    Consequently, they did not consider Emrys in the context of a martial artist.


    The reason behind their spection that Emrys was a friar stemmed from the peculiar incident involving the paparazzi.


    nche had already been informed by Amalia that Emrys was a martial artist, but she couldn’t help but inwardly mock him. What does it matter if you’re a martial artist? In the presence of a Venerable One, you are insignificant!


    With a cold expression, nche continued to criticize, “You believe you are helping Sierra, but in reality, you are only causing harm. How can you take credit for yourself and be arrogant? How can someone as foolish as you even manage to smile?”
