Chapter 987

Chapter 987 Lacking Backbone “It’s all right. We’re all compatriots here this foreign land, so we should help each other out. In the future, if you see those people from the Jagger Association, try to steer clear of them. They’re no good.”

“Got it. Thank you for the warning, sir.”

“My name is Nedley Donnelly. I run a traditional medicine clinic nearby called Vitality Oasis. You can simply refer to me as Old Mr. Donnelly.”

At that moment, Emrys spoke up. “A traditional medicine clinic? Old Mr. Donnelly, did you really open a traditional medicine clinic in Jetroina?”

“What’s the matter? Do you have a problem with that?”

Originally, Nedley’s tone when chatting with Yelena was pleasant. However, when it came to Emrys, his attitude changed abruptly, becoming cold. Even his words were filled with displeasure.

Emrys was surprised.

Err, I don’t think I’m the who has a problem;

to have issue with me.

He felt utterly baffled, clueless as to how he had managed to upset Nedley.

Could it be that old man is a lecher? Otherwise, would there such a stark However, Emrys had been observing Nedley since earlier. He noticed that Nedley’s gaze toward Yelena was pure, merely reflecting the affection an elder holds for a younger generation, untainted by any other intentions.

Hence, his two–faced behavior was even more bewildering.

Since the old man didn’t seem to like him, he decided to wisely keep his mouth shut!

Yelena also noticed the change in Nedley’s demeanor. She flashed a charming grin and said, “Old Mr. Donnelly, my name is Yelena Lynch. And gentleman here, he’s my… boyfriend. His name is Emrys Lund.”

vixen is doing it !

The more disdainful Nedley was toward Emrys, the more she insisted on shoving him into Nedley’s face, even declaring that Emrys was her man.

Without even glancing at Emrys, Nedley let out a cold huff. “Ms. Lynch, there are certain things I shouldn’t say, but I can’t help but remind you that a man’s character is of utmost 1/3 10:14 Mon, Apr Chapter 987 Lacking Backbone importance. You must keep your eyes wide open ”

, old geezer, who Immediately. Emrys was displeased.

Didn’t the old man’s words just imply that his character was questionable? How did he even come to that conclusion?

Emrys wanted to argue with him.

Yelena was always one for excitement, so her eyes gleamed as she said, “Old Mr. Donnelly, you’re right that a man’s character is crucial. I’ll certainly be more discerning in the future.”

“Indeed, Ms. Lynch. I’m glad you understand. Even though I left Chanaea many years ago, I never lost the backbone any Chanacan man should have. If I had lost that spirit, I wouldn’t even be worthy of calling myself a Chanacan.”

Nedley was hinting at something, his words more direct this time. He was just short of pointing at Emrys and berating him for being a spineless man who was disgracing Chanaea.

There was no way Emrys could stand it anymore!

He said with a furrowed brow, “Old man, stop acting so strange in front of me. When have I ever lacked courage? Enlighten me.”

The esteemed Empyrean Lord being accused of lacking a backbone was probably the most. astonishing tale in all of history.

What nonsense!

young After Emrys finished speaking but before Nedley could respond, the short and thin man standing next to Nedley barked out in a loud, angry voice, “How dare you! Is that how you speak to Old Mr. Donnelly?”

“This is none of your business!”

Emrys glanced at the short and slim young man, instantly infuriating him with those words. He huffed, “Master Donnelly, you shouldn’t have saved this guy. It would have been better if the people from the Jagger Association had beaten him to death!”

Nedley also had a gloomy expression on his face “If you really had any backbone, how could you hide behind a woman in times of danger? Women are to be protected, not used as human shields. Is it wrong to call you spineless? You’re just disgracing us Chanaea men!”

It seemed that Nedley was also infuriated by Emrys‘ crude behavior as he pointed at him and 1/3 Chapter 987 Lacking Backbone launched into a tirade.

Only then did Emrys understand the reason for Nedley’s attitude.

Previously, when those Jagger Association members had sought trouble, Emrys knew they were no match for Yelena, so he hadn’t bothered to meddle.
