After paying his respects, he saw that he was still pinned down by the Imperial Guard. He couldn't help but say, "Young Master, these Imperial Guards seem to have arrested the wrong person. I beseech you to intervene on my behalf."
Some of the onlookers who saw this couldn't help but start laughing. Others huddled together, whispering.
"Is this guy an idiot?"
"The General's Mansion is gone, and he's still announcing who he is. The 'legitimate eldest son'? That's hilarious."
"Shh, let's just watch... I heard this young master from the General's Mansion isn't all there in the head. He's the one who was chased and bitten by a dog the other day."
"I know about that! He even crawled through a doggy door."
"And a pigsty."
The sound of their whispers carried over.
Arthur Jacobs didn't hear the rest, but he caught the words "pigsty" and "doggy door." He knew they were talking about that time he had to crawl through a doggy door for a mission.
