After all, that was not their first time encountering such a situation.
Before Diane and the others could say anything, Moby immediately said, "This handsome young man here is Arnie Pearson, the scion of a second-tier family. If you think about it, it's quite formidable for a family to be recognized as a second-tier family in a place like Skystream City. An upper-tier family like his is considered to be one of the truly wealthy families."
However, Severin said with a cold smile, "I'm sorry, but we've never met you, and we're not the kind of people who would want to take advantage of other people's kindness. We appreciate your gesture, but we'd be more comfortable staying in a hotel."
Severin was perceptive enough to know that Arnie had ulterior motives for being courteous to them, but he nevertheless refused politely because he did not want to cause trouble in a place like Skystream City.
Arnie's lips twitched a few times, and he did not expect that Severin would reject him so decisively even after knowing that he was the scion of a second-tier family. Arnie could tell that Severin was probably a wealthy businessman who might be the son of another city's powerful families, or perhaps even the son of a mayor.
Moby pulled a long face and immediately said, "It's always best to think twice before refusing so decisively. You're in Skystream City now. Dave and I are the scions of third-tier families, while Arnie here is from a second-tier family. Are you going to be so rude as to turn down our kind gesture?"
Moby exploded in a rage, and he clenched his fists with a ruthless expression. He glared at Severin. "Don't be arrogant. You might as well have signed off on your own death warrant if you're not going to show any courtesy to Arnie's kind invitation."
Severin could not help but sigh and say, "I don't want any trouble here, so you should leave right now if you know what's good for you. I wouldn't want you three to regret it once I end up making a move."
"Regret? Haha! You make me laugh!" Arnie snickered and clapped his hands to instruct his bodyguards to surround Severin's group. After Severin was surrounded, Arnie sneered. "Show me how you're going to make me regret this!"
