"You seem to have changed recently, especially your attitude towards Gentro. You used to ignore him, but recently you have been frequently accepting his invitations, and got close to him. However, you also told me that you didn't like Gentro at all. I want to know why?"
"I, I..." Joey faltered and didn't know what to say.
Fade rubbed her head and continued softly, "Is there a need to hide anything from your brother? If you tell me about it, I can help you think of other ways and solve the problem faster, right?"
"Uh..." Joey fell silent for a while. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she nodded as she turned to him. "Fade, you're right. I shouldn't have kept it from you. I'll tell you about it."
"Sure, I'm listening." He nodded his head.
She took a deep breath, and finally said, "Well, actually, I approached Gentro to find out about my parents."
"What!" When he heard this, Fade felt surprised.
The both of them were orphans who had been adopted by the old fogey. They had lived with him ever since they were young, and they didn't know anything about their parents at all.
Fade had never thought about looking for his parents. He also thought that Joey, like himself, did not care about hers.
However, three years ago, it seemed that someone found Joey and revealed something about her parents. However, she was stopped by the old fogey back then, so she did not continue investigating that matter.
Fade had thought that it was nothing. He didn't expect that she had been keeping it in mind, and secretly followed up on it.
"Does the old fogey know about this?" He asked.
She shook her head and replied, "Three years ago, Master drove the man away. I knew that he didn't want me to know about this, so I kept it a secret from him about investigating my parents. I don't want him to feel angry or sad."
"The reason why I ran away from Tianwu Mountain was because I found some information about my parents, so I wanted to investigate it myself in Capital City."
Fade immediately guessed, "And the information you obtained has something to do with Centro?"
Joey nodded. "Yes, it has something to do with him. Or to be more precise, my mother might be related to the Luo family." "It's just that I couldn't continue investigating it myself anymore as I had no more clues, so I wanted to try to get some clues from Gentro in order to continue investigating my mother," she finished.
Upon hearing this, Fade finally understood why she had suddenly changed during this period of time.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Now, what are you going to do?"
She shook her head and answered, "l-l don't know. I wanted to take my time to get closer to Gentro. However, it seems that there will be misunderstandings and trouble if I become close to him, so I can't do anything about it."
"Then why don't you just come clean to Gentro, and ask the Luo family yourself?" He questioned.
Joey shook her head as she responded, "I've tried to ask him about it, but he doesn't seem to know much about anything. Moreover, it's related to the Luo family's secrets and it appears that they don't want to talk about it."
"Oh... I see!" Fade paused, and then suggested, "I have a fairly good relationship with Gentro. Why don't we do it this way? I'll take you directly to the Luo family and explain everything to them. Let's see if the Luo family can give us some clues."
