SWNOVELS Chapter 81
Chapter 81 Misunderstanding Resolved
Osmond, the South River King, was yelling at the top of his lungs on the other end of the call. Judging from how rapidly he spoke such that he did not even take a single breath, it was evident how furious he
was.
Derek was dumbfounded.
Looks like the South River King has really given that black card to Emrys!
What was scarier was that he could hear the trembles in Osmond’s voice.
Osmond’s the mighty South River King! Who exactly is Mr. Lund? How can he terrify the South River King to that extent? Osmond even said that the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce would meet its demise if we offended Mr. Lund. Is that guy truly so powerful?

Regardless of whether Osmond was exaggerating, Derek knew that Emrys was not someone whom he could easily offend.
“Mr… Mr. Lund, this is a misunderstanding. Please don’t be angry! I’ll apologize to you now,” said Derek carefully, his fat forehead dotted with sweat.
He was terrified.
After all, Osmond was an important client of the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce. If he transferred all his funds out, the headquarters would definitely find out.
By then, Derek would be stripped of his title as the branch chairman.
Emrys kept the black card and assured him, “It’s fine. All’s good now that the misunderstanding has been resolved. I didn’t expect a black card to create such a huge commotion among you all.”
After he finished speaking, a call from Osmond came. Evidently, he wanted to ask about the situation on Emry’s side.
The call made Derek even more certain that this ordinary–looking young man in front of him actually came from a terrifyingly powerful background. Otherwise, Osmond would not have called him immediately.
The back of Derek’s shirt was already drenched in sweat.
Luckily, Emrys had a good temper and did not hold a grudge against them, allowing Derek to leave gratefully.
When the two policemen saw that it was a misunderstanding, they left as well.
Meanwhile, the couple at the bicycle shop pleaded in fear, “Mr. Lund, we didn’t do it on purpose either. Please forgive us!”
Although losing over one million was an unfortunate incident, both of them felt more fear than a sense of pity.

The man in front of them was obviously a big shot whose influence knew no bounds. If he were to hold this incident against them, they would not be able to continue operating their bicycle shop anymore.
Perhaps, they might not even be able to stay in Jadeborough any longer.
Looking at the couple trembling in fear, Emrys smiled and reassured them, “Both of you didn’t do anything wrong. I wasn’t clear from the start.”
“Don’t say that, Mr. Lund. We were so blinded by greed that we didn’t clarify the situation.”
“All right. Let’s remove the rust from my precious bicycle first!”
“Okay!”
The owner of the shop went to work immediately, acting as swiftly as possible. Not only did he remove the rust on Emrys‘ bicycle, but he also sprayed it with the best paint he had and changed all the chains
and screws.
Inspecting his renewed bicycle, Emrys was very satisfied.
“How much in total?”
“It’s free! We’re grateful that you didn’t hold a grudge against us. How would we dare to accept your* money, Mr. Lund?”
“It’s tough for you to run a small business. Just take my money!”
Emrys eventually paid the boss and left the place with his bicycle.
Staring at his retreating back, the couple was extremely moved. They exclaimed, “Although he’s a big shot, he’s still so approachable! That’s really rare.”
“Yeah. I have a feeling that Mr. Lund will become the biggest pillar of support for Chanaea in the future.”
“Perhaps, he’s the next Empyrean Lord.”
After leaving the second–hand bicycle shop, Emrys headed to an isolated alleyway excitedly.
Who said that this bicycle is just a piece of trash? Obviously, it’s a priceless treasure!
Emrys sat on it eagerly and gripped the handles with his hands. Soon, some life energy flowed out from his palm.
Whoosh!
The bicycle immediately scaled the perpendicular wall and shot into the sky at a terrifyingly rapid speed.
