Chapter 498 Empyrean Lord
“Max…
“Shut up!” Maximus impatiently interrupted Shanise, leaving her stunned.
Seeing her distraught expression, Maximus softened and couldn’t help but say, “You really don’t need
to worry about me because. Rys is formidable. He’s the Empyrean Lord.”
Empyrean Lord?
Shanise was dumbfounded.
At that moment, Emrys suddenly approached Maximus and asked, “Are you finished talking?”
Maximus nodded.
The two of them exited the seafood restaurant.
With an apologetic expression, Maximus said, “Rys, I’m sorry.”
“Huh?”
Is itmon to apologize now?
Emrys was momentarily puzzled. “Why are you apologizing to me?”
“I just revealed your identity to Shanise.”

Chapter 408 Empyrean Lord
Maximus vividly remembered that Emrys had warned him not to casually reveal his identity. However,
after witnessing Shanise’s reaction just now, he couldn’t resist.
Maximus had already prepared himself for a harsh scolding from Emrys.
However, Emrys casually patted his shoulder and said, “I heard it. Even if you reveal my identity,
Shanise may not believe it. And even if she does believe it, no one else will.”
After all, the Empyrean Lord was regarded as a godlike figure to the Chanaeans.
People would sooner believe in Christmas miracles than believe that the Empyrean Lord was a young
man in his early twenties.
Otherwise, witnesses wouldn’t disy such shocked expressions every time Emrys revealed his
identity.
Emrys continued, “You’ve got some backbone,d. You didn’t degrade yourself into a simp. I’m
impressed by the way you handled things just now.”
Maximus remained silent.
“Furthermore, I didn’t misjudge you. Despite knowing that Jipsdale would be hit by a heavy storm in the
coming days, you still resolutely chose to stand with me on the front lines. That’s true loyalty.”
Maximus couldn’t help but say, “Rys, didn’t you say you were stepping aside just now?”

Chapter 498 Empyrean Lord
“I did step aside, all the way to the window. But people are always a bit curious. I just happened to
overhear a little bit of your conversation.”
Is this what you call a little bit? Shanise and I only spoke for a short while. Did you perhaps use a
loudspeaker and listen to the entire conversation right next to your ear? You stepped aside for nothing!
Back at the Langford residence, the atmosphere was oppressively
tense.
“Kneel down!”
Suddenly, a palm mmed onto the solid wooden table, causing a vibrating shock, apanied by a
stern and harsh roar.
The one who mmed the table was Alpheus.
The one being scolded was nche.
nche stood in the middle of the hall, surrounded by members. of the Langford family. They all red
at her darkly as if she hadmitted a grave sin.
If looks could kill, nche would have been riddled with holes by now.
nche paled slightly when Alpheus roared at her. However, she remained defiant, biting her lip as she
retorted, “I did nothing wrong. Why should I kneel?”
“You did nothing wrong? How could you possibly think that?”

Eloise immediately interjected. She pointed her finger at nche’s face and scolded, “You brought
Emrys into our family, didn’t you? Earlier at the restaurant, you were the one who connected us with
him, weren’t you? How can you im innocence?”
When Eloise said this, the anger of the Langford family members. around them was immediately
ignited. They stared at nche with even more hostile eyes.
Although they were all members of the Langford family, in such arge n, those at the top couldn’t
control everyone. After the family branched out, internal strife was inevitable.
In the past, nche was deeply loved by Samuel, which stirred- intense jealousy among them.
Today’s events, especially nche’s actions, had clearly disturbed Samuel. Consequently, they would
definitely not miss out on such a golden opportunity.
It would be wise to capitalize on this incident andpletely eliminate the positive impression nche
had left in Samuel’s heart.
