"What… was that all about?"
An hour. It took Rhys an entire hour to get from the edge of the city to Wilder's Harem's HQ — no, at this point, it was no longer Wilder's Harem's HQ, it was just Rhys's residence as Wilder's Harem had already been disbanded. But of course, that is beside the point.
The point was that it took him an hour to get there because of all the people blocking his path, wanting to touch him, and some even kneeling and praying in front of him. Of course, Rhys quickly and very gently gestured to them to stop and stand up, but as soon as Rhys saw the disappointment and hurt in their eyes as he did that, the only thing he could really do was smile and hasten his pace.
