Chapter 487 The Sore Spot Of Brian Meanwhile, Darrell was appalled at what Emrys had just said.

What on earth? How could this possibly be connected to me?

He cautiously glanced at Brian.

Upon realizing that Brian had no intention of directing his anger towards him, Darrell quickly retorted with a seemingly flattering remark, “Stop talking nonsense, you brat. What’s the point of being handsome? Even the best appearance is no match for Mr. Russell’s powerful background.”

Emrys shook his head. “I disagree. If family background is more important than appearance, then why did Lady Lockwood choose me over Mr. Russell?”

For a moment, Darrell was speechless.

Larissa was clearly an exception, as she herself had a powerful support system, so she didn’t need to seek a powerful partner. Naturally, she was more inclined to find a man she genuinely liked.

The same couldn’t be said for an ordinary woman.

Take Shanise, for example. Despite Maximus being incredibly handsome, Shanise still ended up with Brian.

In this world, female warriors like Larissa were rare, while there were many like Shanise. Therefore, individual cases couldn’t represent the majority.

Chapter 487 The Sore Spot Of Brian Naturally, Darrell didn’t dare to argue with Emrys because if he voiced his thoughts, wouldn’t he indirectly be implying that Brian was unattractive? That besides his family background, he had no other qualities that could attract girls?

Therefore, he could only remain silent, feeling unjust but unable to argue.

At this point, Brian was already boiling with anger. He growled, “Kid, do you have any idea how many times you would have been killed if those words you just said were spoken by an ordinary person?”

The issue of his appearance had always been a sensitive spot for Brian. In the past, anyone who dared to comment too much about it would find themselves silenced by him.

However, Emrys had repeatedly attacked Brian’s appearance. This was no longer just a stab to the heart but rather like wielding a large saw, relentlessly tearing at Brian’s heart.

It was simply outrageous!

“Oh? So, what you’re saying is that you want to kill me? You’re willing to take my life just because I called you ugly?”

Emrys raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

Facing the furious Brian, he was not only unafraid but even smiling smugly. Moreover, he began to walk towards Brian, as if he was about to fight him.

Brian’s gaze wavered.

Emrys‘ unusual behavior left him somewhat uncertain.

What is he doing? Does he really think that just because he’s Lady Lockwood’s man, he has the capability to confront me?

When it came to support, Emrys relied on Larissa, whose backbone was Hazel. Hazel’s rock was her father, Pascal, the guardian of the Jipsdale Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters.

There were three intertwined relationships here.

The person Brian relied on was none other than his grandfather, Harvey.

This could be compared to the difference between a distant cousin and an immediate family member. It was clear which relationship held more weight.

Pascal would absolutely not risk falling out with Harvey over a minor figure like Emrys.

Therefore, Brian couldn’t understand what gave Emrys the confidence to confront him.

Perhaps it was a case of unchecked arrogance!

Darrell finally found another opportunity to speak, sneering as he said, “Punk, don’t think that just because you’ve managed to charm Lady Lockwood, you can be so disrespectful to Mr. Russell. In the end, you’re nothing more than a kept man. Do you think you’re worthy of challenging Mr. Russell?”

A sardonic smirk of schadenfreude appeared at the corner of —

Chapter 487 The Sore Spot Of Brian Darrell’s mouth.

There was no way he would stop Emrys at this time.

Deep down, he was hoping that Emrys would become more reckless, preferably to the point of completely falling out with Brian.

Shanise stood behind Brian, shaking her head disapprovingly at Emrys. However, it seemed as though Emrys was completely oblivious to her presence, as he confidently approached Brian.

Coming to a halt, he stared intently at Brian’s unique countenance from a close proximity.

The expression in his eyes gradually transformed into one of mockery.

“In truth, Maximus himself has already forgiven your betrayal. As his brother–in–law, it would be inappropriate for me to intervene any further. However, your unattractive appearance has truly offended my sensibilities, and I cannot help but feel the urge to strike you.”
