Chapter 95 Are You Satisfied
“Hunter Lister, the one from Midas. He used to work for Hendrik but took over as the leader after the latter committed suicide. He’s the one I’m currently working for.”
With barely any strength left, Harry almost fainted after finishing his sentence in a single breath.
Emrys‘ first instinct was to say that Hunter was nothing to him, but after giving the matter some thought, he decided to get Harry to call Hunter instead.
“Tell Hunter to come and see me within fifteen minutes. Also, get him to bring a paintbrush, paint, and paper. By the way, let him know that I’m Emrys Lund.”
Seventeen minutes and three seconds later, Hunter arrived at the slums with a terrified look and his head covered in sweat.
I’m late!
He obviously didn’t dare disobey Emrys‘ orders to be there in fifteen minutes. Thus, he drove at two hundred kilometers an hour and ran every red light along the way.
Unfortunately, he was delayed by a few minutes to get the items requested by Emrys. That was why he exceeded the deadline by two minutes and three seconds.
I’m going to lose my head for this!
Hunter couldn’t help recalling what happened at Midas back then. Emrys had stormed into the casino and single–handedly killed his boss, Hendrik. The thought of it alone sent a chill down his spine.
“I deserve death for being late, Empyrean Lord. Please show mercy.”
Upon rushing into the slums, Hunter dropped to his knees without delay. The relentless drops of sweat he emitted began to form a puddle as he bowed his head.
The terror within him was unmistakable.
As for Leonard and Harry, who were still lying on the floor, the sight before them shook them to their core.
Did Mr. Lister just address this Emrys guy as Empyrean Lord? The Empyrean Lord! Only one person in Chanaea carries that title. Don’t tell me that this young man is him?
The fear in Hunter’s eyes told them that their supposition was correct.
In that instant, both of them felt as if their minds were blown.
How is something as ludicrous as this possible? We’re nothing but small–time hoodlums. There’s no way we can end up crossing someone as mighty as Empyrean Lord,

Sad to say, regardless of whether they wanted to believe it or not, life could, at times, be really unpredictable.
Meanwhile, Emrys stared at the trembling Hunter as he said indifferently, “Get up now. I’m not going to punish you just for being two minutes late.”
“Yes, yes. I’m grateful for the mercy shown, Empyrean Lord.”
Hunter expressed his gratitude as if he had escaped from the jaws of death. He then turned his attention to the stunned Harry and stomped his foot on the latter’s face.
“Are you f*cking blind? How dare you cross Empyrean Lord? Do you have a death wish?”
Raging in anger, Hunter gave Harry’s face another stomp.
Truth be told, he wasn’t furious because Harry had gotten on the nerves of Emrys. He couldn’t care less about Harry’s survival. What truly irked him was Harry getting him involved.
F*cking hell, how dare you get Empyrean Lord to show you mercy on my account! I’m someone who means nothing to him. All you have done is get me into deep trouble!
Hunter had the same amount of fury as he did fear earlier.
At that moment, Emrys cleared his throat and spoke up. “You’ve hit the wrong person.”
“Wrong person?” Hunter was stunned.
With an aggrieved look on his face, Harry pointed at Leonard and explained with his last breath, “That assh*le was the one who started this.”
He lost consciousness the moment he finished.
“Son of a b*tch! So, you’re the one responsible. I’m going to kill you!”
Hunter felt embarrassed for beating up the wrong person. Left without a choice, he proceeded to whack Leonard to redeem himself.
It wasn’t until Leonard had his lights knocked out that Hunter finally stopped.
He then returned to Emrys‘ side with an obsequious look on his face and asked, “Empyrean Lord, are you satisfied?”
