Wang Qi felt a bit awkward when the pet store owner addressed him as the City Master. He coughed twice, steadied her leaning body, and said with a stern face, "I am only the Vice City Lord of the City of Hope. This is the real master of the City of Hope, Song Jian, City Master Song. You must recognize him clearly!"
The pet store owner Laurenie was greatly alarmed, judging by her reaction, the way she had just addressed Wang Qi was likely to have offended the real City Master present.
As an NPC who had wandered through countless cities, Laurenie naturally knew the extent of power held by a city's master. She quickly bowed to Song Jian and spoke with a hint of panic on her face, "I didn't know the City Master was here, and failed to welcome you from afar. I ask for the City Master's forgiveness!"
