Chapter 1343: The Invited Guests
The man was strikingly handsome, dressed in a sharp suit, luxury watch, and designer leather shoes—a true picture of a successful gentleman. He was the envy of many, not least of all for the two gorgeous women draped on either arm.
Gu Fan chuckled dryly, recognizing from the man’s attire that he was someone of status, likely a noble from Organization X.
The man’s eyes sparkled with arrogance, "I asked you a question. Why aren’t you answering?"
Gu Fan adopted a look of utter fear and subservience, avoiding eye contact with the man in a convincing portrayal of how a commoner should act in the presence of nobility.
The man rebuked him more sternly, "To question Organization X in this place, what punishment do you deserve?"
"It’s really no use!" Gu Fan lamented internally. He didn’t want trouble, so he played the fool as the situation demanded.
Gu Fan lowered his head, feigning extreme fear, "I’m sorry, I realize my mistake now. I live here, and I just hope to see this place get better. I meant no offense."
"Even if you didn’t, I can still punish you for your offense," the man’s bravado was unmistakable, his posture indicating no intention of letting Gu Fan off easily.
Under normal circumstances, many people would gather to watch the spectacle, but this was Dark City. People steered clear of the nobles of Organization X, opting for safety. Many hid in corners, secretly wringing their hands with anxiety for Gu Fan.
