Chapter 1348: Trapped
"I hope we didn’t keep you waiting too long"
The sudden voice coming from behind them made Victor and his men jump to their feet, at the same time, they reflexively drew their weapons. The air in the room became tense, no sound could be heard except the beating of their hearts.
Fred stood in a relaxed manner with one hand shoved in his pocket as he greeted them "Good evening gentleman, I hope I didn’t startle you too much, I just wanted to make sure you didn’t do anything funny."
Victor was irritated by Fred’s words, his face frowned and he snorted in annoyance "Of course not, are you doubting my integrity now!"
Fred raised his eyebrows "Aren’t we here to confirm it"
"Even though you are an Archknight, aren’t you being too rude" Victor’s friend was irritated by Fred’s arrogant attitude "Are you looking down on us because you are an Archknight? Why do you think we took the trouble to arrange a meeting if it wasn’t out of good intentions to clear up this misunderstanding, but you can’t—"
"You arranged this meeting because you guys have crossed our territory and you’re afraid of how we’ll react, isn’t that right?" Fred looks at them with condescension and mockery in his eyes.
Victor’s subordinates clamped their mouth in shame then Victor raised his hand to sign his subordinates to be quiet.
"Forgive my friend he is too eager to speak his mind that he sometimes does not think twice about it. However, he did not mean to offend you at all, Mr. Knoxville."
Victor, who was the leader of the World Guild Association, knew when he could be arrogant and when he should be humble, and right now he had no choice but to be humble himself because weather in terms of power, intelligence, and authority, he is no match to this man.
Lory patted Fred’s shoulder to calm him down and after being coaxed by Lory he took a deep breath and his attitude softened a little, "Then explain yourself."
