"Ah-!"

The greasy man shrieked, and all eyes in the vicinity turned towards the commotion.

"What are you doing? I am the top member here!" The man howled in pain, "I'm going to report this! I will report you all!"

Sophie frowned.

Sophie intended to probe further when she saw Gattlin approaching. He said, "I'm terribly sorry. This lady is also one of our esteemed guests."

"Bullshit! If she's such a high-level guest, why didn't you say so earlier? I had my eyes on her!"
