"I'm an outsider?"
When Eric heard this statement, he had to laugh out loud, "I... My uncle is the Mayor, and I'm an outsider?"
The few lackeys around him also burst into laughter, as if this was indeed a very funny matter.
But as they laughed, he stopped laughing.
Those lackeys also awkwardly could not laugh anymore.
To characters like them, what they disliked and dreaded most was having a capricious "master." You could never tell whether he was laughing or raging, just like now.
Everyone felt very awkward.
They were as embarrassed now as they had been happy laughing earlier, fearing Eric would snap, "What are you laughing at?"
However, Eric's focus wasn't on that now. This "rumor" was targeted at him, and he was very aware of that. It had isolated him now.
People said if Shaina, the Flower of Opera of Golden Port City, was plucked by him, an outsider, it would be a disgrace for the younger generation of Golden Port City!
