Chapter 575 Lacking In Manners

Cillian was a genius, especially his initial sword stroke; it was absolutely stunning.

But what about Emrys?

Emrys spent the entire fight on the defensive, behaving like a cowardly jerk. He relied solely on his tough skin and tenacity to achieve a draw with Cillian. Everyone considered Emrys to be an ace among cowards.

In the end, Emrys was seen as a coward, unworthy of respect.

Emrys listened to the surrounding jeers, his face showing no hint of anger. Instead, he picked up his wine glass and slowly walked towards Gilbert, wearing a harmless smile. “Mr. Cunningham, right? Congratulations on your father’s promotion. Allow me to toast to his honor first.”

With that, he tilted his head back and drained the wine from the cup in one gulp.

Gilbert scoffed.

He had no intention of lifting his wine glass.

Emrys didn’t get angry. He just smiled, poured himself another drink, and once again drained it in one gulp. After finishing, he silently watched Gilbert.

Gilbert remained unmoved.

And so, Emrys poured himself another drink.

Emrys downed three shots of strong liquor in a row.

However, Gilbert showed no sign of reaction.
