No powerful figure would take kindly to another man openly inviting his women to join his harem.
He gritted his teeth and quickly made his decision. There was no point in fighting.
If they really had offended some hidden powerhouse, then continuing this confrontation would only bring disaster upon their entire clan.
He lowered his gaze, deliberately avoiding Elion's eyes.
A moment later, he bowed deeply.
"Esteemed Lord, please forgive my young master and me for disrespecting such a great figure as yourself."
Elion raised a brow.
'Esteemed Lord?'
The man continued before he could respond.
"Under normal circumstances, I would have sought to foster goodwill with someone of your standing, but since you seem to be deliberately concealing your strength…"
His voice became increasingly respectful.
"You must not wish for your true identity to be revealed."
Elion's expression slowly became stranger.
'What the hell is this guy talking about?'
