Chapter 496 Disappointment
The meaning behind it was clear.
Blanche’s heart sank even further when she noticed Samuel’s attitude.
This was the second time she had felt let down by her own family.
It was even more disheartening than the first time.
At least Samuel had been sensible the last time. But this time, he was acting foolish.
After a moment of silence, Blanche forced a smile and replied, “Mr. Lund is the Langford family’s benefactor. My grandfather was
seriously ill, and Mr. Lund cured him.”
The members of the Langford family’s faces changed dramatically.
Alpheus‘ eyes filled with reproach.
Teagan, along with his wife Eloise, displayed resentment.
Even Samuel, who had shown no expression, had a slightly dimmed gaze.
Cillian observed everything that was happening and gave Blanche a long look. Then, he looked at Alpheus, Teagan, and the
others from the Langford family with disdain. He scoffed and said, “You old folks have lived in vain. You lack the courage of a

young girl.”
The expressions of the group changed once again.

However, Cillian had already turned back to Emrys, confidently declaring, “If I don’t see you in three days, I will hold the Langford
family accountable. Brian, let’s go!”
Although Brian was filled with resentment and wished he could tear Emrys apart, he had no choice but to leave reluctantly since
his brother had said so.
“I’ll give you three more days to live. After three days, I want to witness your death with my own eyes!”
Through gritted teeth, Brian issued a harsh warning to Emrys before promptly leaving with Cillian.
With the Russell brothers gone, Darrell naturally wouldn’t stay behind. Before leaving, he also left Emrys with a harsh warning,
“You should go back and tell Lady Lockwood to prepare a coffin for your corpse!”
Emrys merely glared at him, and Darrell’s bravado immediately faded away. He slinked off, embarrassed and clutching his two
broken teeth.
Despite being a respected instructor at the capital’s Martial Arts Academy, he had been utterly humiliated today.
The crowd that should have dispersed had already left.
Among those who remained, the Langford family members had

the most unpleasant expressions.
Their hearts felt as if they had plummeted to the bottom of a
ravine.
It was clearly Emrys who had gone mad, so why should the Langford family bear the consequences? Old Mr. Langford had
spoiled Blanche. She should have been sent to the Cunningham family without her knowledge when Old Mr. Langford was
seriously ill. What a troublemaker!
After hesitating for a while, Alpheus approached and said, “Mr. Lund, Cillian is not someone to be taken lightly. How about I
arrange a secluded place for you to recover before confronting Cillian?”

Emrys looked at him mockingly and said, “Old Mr. Langford, you’re quite considerate!”
Emrys sneered inwardly.
How could he not understand the intentions of this old man? It was clear that he was afraid that if Emrys escaped, Cillian would
take his anger out on their family.
However, Alpheus seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Emrys’s words. He bowed and said, “Mr. Lund, please don’t
misunderstand. You are our family’s benefactor, and I certainly don’t want you to lose to Cillian. It’s important to improve your
condition.”
“Stop pretending. Since I’ve said I’ll face Cillian, I won’t run away at the last moment. I appreciate your concern, but it’s

unnecessary.”
Alpheus’s expression changed slightly at Emrys’s words.
Emrys looked at the restaurant owner, Preston, signaling for him to leave. Preston, understanding the situation, promptly
ushered all the staff out.
Seeing that the Langford family still hesitated to leave, Emrys furrowed his brow and said, “What, do you want to keep monitoring
me until the day of the martial arts tournament?”
“Mr. Lund, you’ve misunderstood...”
“Then leave immediately!”
Previously, Emrys held a positive opinion of Alpheus, but in this instant, he realized that wicked individuals were universally alike.
Even someone with strong principles could be compelled to make decisions contrary to their own desires when certain interests
were involved.
While Emrys could comprehend this, it didn’t sit comfortably with him.
Moreover, he had little regard for anything that didn’t align with his own values.
Samuel was left frozen by this harsh rebuke.
Simultaneously, a feeling of discontent welled up within his
heart.
