Chapter 113 The Missing Friar
The one who sealed away his memories should have been the old friar.

The art Emrys trained in was Nameless Divine Art. As a beginner, his mind had to be clear. If he was consumed by revenge, he would never be able to master it.
Maybe the friar knows something about the identity of the mastermind.
However, Emrys could not reach the friar.
When he first returned from the battlefield, he had visited the monastery, but he found no traces of the friar there.
Moreover, the friar was always secretive. Emrys could never find out anything about the friar’s whereabouts even if he used his Seventy–two Shadow Forces‘ network.
It was frustrating.
Right then, Gerald said, “I don’t know who that person is, but I vaguely remember something they said. They said they were from Jipsdale.”
“Jipsdale?”
Emrys narrowed his eyes. A long while later, he let out a heavy sigh and said, “Even though you were not the mastermind behind the fire, you were the one who set it. Thus, I don’t think it’ll be outrageous for me to cripple you, right?”
With that said, Emrys swiftly pressed down on Gerald’s knees.
Crack!
His kneecaps were shattered.
Gerald screamed in pain.
Even so, he did not dare to utter a word in protest, for it was a kind punishment for him. At the very least, he was emerging out of it alive.
Once Gerald was dealt with, Emrys went to the courtyard and gazed at the faraway horizon.
“A martial artist of Jipsdale, huh? Things are getting more and more interesting. I’m going to dive right into this matter.”
After what seemed like an eternity, he looked away and left the Chalker residence with the seven- colored centipede’s b*dy.
His mind was already in a state of tranquility.

Once I’m in Jipsdale, I’ll have the chance to continue looking into this matter.
Meanwhile, Osmond quietly glanced at Gerald and Tyson before sneering. “Do you know who that is?”
Tyson was gritting his teeth in silence as he glared at Osmond.

However, Osmond did not give him the answer. Instead, he left the Chalker residence with Thomas and the rest.
A while later, a deep voice came from the outside of the house.
“Tyson, have you ever heard of the highest–ranking man in Chanaea, the Empyrean Lord?”
Revelation struck the Chalkers like a bolt from the blue.
The Empyrean Lord? He’s the Empyrean Lord? The guardian of Chanaea?
Everyone in the Chalker family was quivering when realization dawned upon them, and they could not recompose themselves for a long time.
“Ah!”
Too frightened, Tyson screamed and vomited a mouthful of blood on the red coffin.
That night, the Chalkers removed all the defamation articles and cleared things up using the Jadeborough News. They pinned all blame on Angelina, saying that her jealousy was what drove her to spread the rumors.
In no time, the citizens started insulting the evil Angelina instead of cursing at Cordelia.
The next day, the Chalker family held a press conference. Tyson and Gerald attended it in person and clarified the incident with the media before apologizing.
At the same time, the Chalkers announced their retreat from Jadeborough in the next two weeks and auctioned off all their businesses at a low price.
The second the news was released, the entire Jadeborough was stunned.
The Chalker family was the top dog of North River District, and they were thriving and growing. How could they possibly let go of everything they owned to someone else?
Alas, no one knew the answer to that, for those who knew about what happened that evening did not dare to reveal the truth for fear of dying.

The only conclusion the citizens could come to was that the Chalker family had to have offended someone far more powerful than Osmond.
That made the people even more curious about the man behind Cordelia Group. They wondered who was capable of instilling such fear in the Chalker family.

Rumors formed and died about the incident, but everyone knew that, from then on, Jadeborough belonged to Cordelia Group.
