Cherished By Seven Sisters
Chapter 526 Meeting An Old Pervert âWhat about you, Rys?â
âIâll go deal with someone first!â
Emrys wore a stern expression, suddenly quickening his pace towards the nouveau riche. With a swift pat on his shoulder, he declared. âYou, old pervert, Iâve finally caught up with you!â
With a loud shout, Emrys startled the nouveau riche, causing him to jump in fright. Turning his head to look, his eyes also widened dramatically.
Suddenly, he tossed a few banknotes onto the counter and loudly declared, âNo need for change!â
After that, he took off running.
He even gave up on those two voluptuous women.
âRun? Can you really escape?â
Emrys let out a cold laugh. After finally catching this guy, there was no way he would let him escape easily. He immediately gave chase.
He had just exited the restaurant when he suddenly saw a person with a sageâlike demeanor approaching him. The person, with a benevolent smile on his face, said, âMy beloved Emrys, I have calculated that we are destined to meet today, and indeed, it has come trueâ¦â
âStop giving me excuses! Whereâs your big gold chain? And your little wristwatch? Where on earth did you get this robe from?â
Emrys used to hold this fellow in high regard, but things had changed. Everything is fake!
âOld pervert, youâve made quite a bit of money off my casual paintings, havenât you?â Emrys continued angrily.
The man before Emrys was none other than Athos, the one who had once made a fool out of Emrys. He was also Emrysâ mentor, an old pervert.
Athos shook his head and said, âMy beloved Emrys, I donât understand what youâre saying. What about big gold chains and small wristwatches or casual paintings? Donât falsely accuse me.â

Emrys was filled with indescribable frustration, grabbing Athosâ wrist and heading towards a nearby pub.
Athos urged, âEmrys! Be more gentle. Donât be so aggressive!â
âGentle?â Emrys wouldnât listen to him. He forcefully dragged Athos into the pub, pushed him onto a seat, and sat across from him, coldly stating, âBehave yourself and give me an explanation!â
This scene was akin to an interrogation of a criminal.
Athos bent his rigid back, dropping all pretense. He laid his cards on the table and confessed, âAlright, Iâll admit it. In fact, I hid the gold chain inââ
Emrys interrupted him by saying, âYou know thatâs not what I was asking.â
In Emrysâ mind, then, there were a hundred mysteries. They were about the orphanage fire, about his seven sisters, about the Nameless Divine Art, and about Mount Jacaster.
There were a lot more questions in Emrysâ mind.
Emrys was like an ant in chaos, utterly directionless.
Take the welfare home fire incident, for instance. Although it was known that Pascal had set the fire, Emrys didnât know what had happened before that.
Emrys clearly remembered Hazel once telling him that when he was still an infant swaddled in cloth, a friar had rescued him, taking him to an orphanage.
Emrys thought that the soâcalled friar was definitely in cahoots with Athos.
Additionally, according to Cordeliaâs parents, when she was very young,,they thought she had passed away prematurely. That was why she was taken away by Skybright from Mount Dracoger.
The identity of the other girls was still unknown for the time being, but it was certain to follow a similar pattern.
Moreover, when the girls arrived at the orphanage, Emrys had not yet been born.
Emrys thought that was indeed a setup, and Athos was undoubtedly one of the strategists.
MM M Chapter 526 Meeting An Old Pervert 94% 0/40 Emrys gazed at him, asking, âShall we begin with the tale of my seven sisters and myself? How did we come to be in the orphanage?â
âUm⦠Wellâ¦â Athosâ eyes darted around, indicating that he was concocting another wicked plan.
âAre you unwilling to speak?â Emrys chuckled coldly. He then beckoned the pub owner and stated, âBring us some liquor!â
âMay I inquire about the type of liquor you both prefer?â
âAnything will do. The stronger, the better.â
âVery well!â
The pub owner swiftly brought the drinks, which were their own potent liquor stored in a jar. Not only was it strong, but it was also exceedingly expensive.

Athos couldnât help but salivate.
However, he refrained from drinking because he suspected that Emrys had ulterior motives.
At that moment, Emrys took the initiative to pour a glass and handed it to Athos with a smile. He said, âMaster, despite all the trouble youâve put me through, you are still my mentor. You have taught me valuable skills since I was young, and I can sense that you harbor no ill will towards me. This jar of liquor is a token of respect from your student.â
During his time at the monastery, Emrys had come to realize that Athos had a fondness for liquor and indulgence, especially when it came to fine alcohol. It was almost as if he couldnât resist the sight of it.
Emrys was taking advantage of Athosâ weakness.
âMy dear Emrys, I appreciate your kind gesture. However, I have given up drinking a long time ago.â
Athos swallowed his saliva, his gaze fixed on the glass of liquor.
âReally? What a shame!â
Emrys pretended to be disappointed and let out a sigh. He then turned to the pub owner and said, âExcuse me, my master has quit drinking. Can we return this jar of liquor?â
âYou canât!â The pub ownerâs face suddenly darkened. âThis liquor is the pride of our establishment. If it werenât for your generous nature, I wouldnât have been willing to bring it out. Once this liquor is opened, its flavor diminishes. It cannot be returned! It cannot be returned!â
If the pub owner hadnât caught a glimpse of the supreme VIP card from the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce in Emrysâ possession just a moment ago, he wouldnât have brought out the prized liquor.
Emrys glanced at Athos and said, âWhat a shame⦠What a shame. Well, could you please help us dispose of it? I will pay as agreed!â
âYou canât do that!â

âYouâre not going to drink it, are you?â
âWho said I donât drink? Canât I take a sip with my spoon?â
Athos promptly dismissed the pub owner, picked up his spoon, dipped it into the glass, and savored the taste in his mouth.
Athos proceeded to have a few spoonfuls.
Ten minutes later, Athos lifted the glass and took a hearty gulp. Tears of gratitude welled up in his eyes. Overwhelmed, he said, âMy dear Emrys, you truly understand me. So filial, so very filialâ¦â His voice trailed off into a contented murmur.
Athos downed several mouthfuls of strong liquor. Whether he was intoxicated or not remained uncertain, but it certainly loosened his tongue. Exhaling the scent of alcohol, he said, âMy dear Emrys, considering your respectful behavior, feel free to ask any questions. I will answer them one by one.â
The change in attitude was astonishingly swift.
Emrys couldnât be bothered to complain. Instead, he asked the question that had been puzzling him the most, âWhat is the true nature of the relationship between me and my seven sisters?â
With a tipsy smile, Athos replied, âIndeed, it was us who sent you and your seven sisters to the orphanage. We also employed a bit of magic, fostering a deep bond among the eight of you from a young age.â
âJust as I expected!â Emrysâ gaze hardened. âI knew there couldnât be such a coincidence. Out of all the children in the orphanage, I chose the seven most beautiful ones to be my sisters. I even thought that I had the potential to be a ladiesâ man since I was a child. So it was this group who were behind all this mischief.â
With the abilities of a friar, it was indeed a very easy task to make eight naive children develop a fondness for each other.
âWhat was the purpose of doing this?â Emrys asked.
Athos took another sip of his drink and said, âFor that, youâll have to ask Cassius, my superior. He was the one who instructed us to do so. Several of your sisters were brought JMM M Chapter 527 Strong Liquor 94%% 07:49 back by him from Mount Jacaster.â
âMount Jacaster?â
âYes. You can think of it as a gateway. Beyond that gateway lies the world of cultivators. However, that gateway has been closed for over twenty years, and itâs uncertain when it will open again.â
âNo, youâre mistaken,â Emrys retorted. âIf Mount Jacaster has been closed for over twenty years, then how did the ghost clan manage to escape?â
Previously, Emrys had encountered the ghost clan twice. Once, it possessed the body of Angelinaâs father, and another time, it took over Diablosâ body. If Mount Jacaster was truly sealed off, such entities could not have possibly escaped.
