The Sand Scorpions watched Edward and Barbara come out and, following Su Lun's example, attempted to strike up a conversation to glean some information.
"Hey, Mr. Edward..."
"Oh, the beautiful Miss Barbara..."
"..."
No matter the opening line, unless a keyword was triggered, the two key NPCs paid no attention to the Scavengers they deemed "outside of their recognition" and simply left.
The group of Scavengers, feeling snubbed, turned their attention to Su Lun, who had come out afterwards.
"Hey, you!"
Gallup's face darkened as he called out to Su Lun.
He didn't beat around the bush and asked bluntly, "What did you say to those two just now?"
...
Su Lun was already aware that the Sand Scorpions had been watching his every move, from the moment he entered the banquet hall, to the backstage... to now.
Facing these folks who obviously meant trouble, his brows furrowed.
He felt it was a waste of time to explain even a word more.
