Chapter 502

Chapter 502 The Death Match After Hazel angrily scolded him, she noticed her assistant giving her a strange look. Her expression immediately softened. Controlling her agitated emotions, she said, “Let him in… Anyway, you can wait outside the door later.”

“Yes, Ms. Mapleton.”

The assistant left the office with a confused expression on her face.

Why is Ms. Mapleton acting so strangely today?

Soon, Emrys entered with a bright smile on his face.

The assistant prepared to close the door. Emrys turned his head and politely said to her, “Ms.

Assistant, you’re so considerate. Your suit today looks better than the last one.”

The assistant rolled her eyes at him.

Ms. Mapleton is about to lose her temper, and yet you still have the audacity to stand here, laughing and joking?

Bang!

The office door was closed.

The space inside was spacious, and the windows were polished to a shine, so there was no feeling of claustrophobia at all.

Hazel, exuding charm, leaned her delicate body against the office 14:27 Fri, 16 Feb D&

Emrys smiled and said, “Hehe, Ms. Mapleton, you must have heard about my life–and–death challenge with Cillian, right? Since the battle will take place at your school, I thought it was only proper to come and inform you, the chancellor, first. It’s a matter of courtesy.”

“I can’t believe you still have the nerve to smile!”

Hazel couldn’t hold back and in a fit of rage, she slammed her fist onto her desk.

Bang!

She stood up, her hands braced against the edge of the desk. Her shoulders subtly shrugged, clearly filled with irritation as she glared at Emrys, saying, “Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused?”

You’re already at death’s door, and yet you still have the audacity to pay me a courtesy visit? You should be paying a visit to Hades in h*ll instead!

“Didn’t I tell you before to leave Jipsdale quietly? But now, you’ve challenged Cillian and even chosen Jipsdale Martial Arts Academy as the venue. Do you understand what this implies?”

Hazel continued to vent her anger.

Challenging Cillian was one thing, but choosing the academy for the fight was another. Everyone knew the academy was renowned 14:27 Fri, 16 Feb ►

for grooming talent for the Martial Arts Alliance, and this fight had already caught their attention.

Another infuriating aspect was that there were even rumors circulating that Emrys was Larissa’s man.

Therefore, it was now impossible for him to keep a low profile.

It was likely that everyone planned to arrive early on the day of the life–and–death challenge, just to see what Emrys looked like.

Watching Hazel rant, Emrys became even more certain of one thing–she was genuinely worried about him.

Emrys spoke casually, “That ugly b*stard, Brian Russell, stole my friend’s woman. It’s only fair that I stand up for him, right? Since Cillian wants to defend him, why not settle the grudge with a fight?”

“A fight? You make it sound so easy!”

Hazel let out a cold snort.

Before, she didn’t know why Emrys had a dispute with Cillian. But now, after hearing Emrys‘

explanation, she understood that it was all because of a woman.

What a disgrace!

However, Hazel was not naive enough to fully believe Emrys‘ reasoning. She scrutinized Emrys and said, “Standing up for your friend is likely just an excuse. You simply want to escalate the situation, don’t you?”

Chapter 502 The Death Match Emrys did not deny it. Instead, he chuckled and remarked, “Ms. Mapleton, you’re as sharp as ever.”

Why are you still laughing?

Hazel was boiling with anger, barely restraining herself from rushing over to slap Emrys.

She was now filled with regret. She shouldn’t have advised Emrys to leave Jipsdale discreetly before.

The outcome was completely opposite to what she had intended. Instead, it only fueled Emrys‘

determination to defy her.

He’s such a rebel!

In fact, as Hazel had suspected, Emrys was deliberately causing trouble, attracting the attention of all the influential figures in Jipsdale.

His true motive was to uncover the truth behind the fire at the orphanage years ago.

The first time he met Hazel, she had warned him to leave Jipsdale discreetly. It was evident that there were individuals who wished to see him dead.

From a different perspective, if Emrys were to be ostentatious enough, wouldn’t those individuals be enticed to reveal themselves openly?
