Maintaining a cool demeanor was essential for a strong first impression, after all.

As they walked, the man cast a glance back toward Rocco's entourage.
His eyes seemed to linger on someone behind Rocco.
"So, the rumors were true," he said, his tone curious. "You've brought in the infamous Georgio the Hyena."
"And if I have?" Rocco replied, keeping his voice flat and his expression neutral.
