Master Grinu frowned, displeasure flashing across his eyes. But just as he raised his hand to deliver a harsh slap—
"What is going on here?" Noir, who had stepped away for a second to listen to the reports from the soldiers about the situation outside, returned just in time to halt the action.
Only then did Gu Luoxin snap back to his senses, cold sweat breaking out across his back. His complexion, that was already pale to begin with, turned almost ghastly due to the horror of realization dawning upon him.
Oh God, w-what had he just done?! Talking back to the psychopathic Master Grinu—was he crazy?! If it was Young Master Ares, even if his father told him to jump down the cliff, he would still maintain his smile and say that he would get it done at once! That was how obedient and subservient he was! He should have gone along with Master Grinu's words rather than questioning him. Even the mere act of expressing his own will was considered a grave OOC!
