Before Fade walked far, he heard the roar of a car engine behind him.
He turned around and saw an army green Hummer driving over. The sound of the engine booming steadily was obviously better than his broken car.
Just as he turned around to look, the Hummer screeched to a halt beside him.
A woman with short hair, wearing sunglasses popped her head out the window and shouted, "What's the matter, do you need help?"
Fade was stunned for a moment before pointing at his broken car behind him, which was still smoking, "My car broke down."
"I knew it!" The short-haired girl grinned and then asked, "Where are you going? Let's see if we can take you along?"
Fade replied, "I'm heading for Namuchia Lake."
"Namuchia, that's great, we have the same destination. Hop on!" The girl beckoned to him warmly and opened the car door.
"Thank you!" He smiled and walked over to the Hummer.
However, at this time, a young man's head popped out from the passenger seat. He took a look at Fade and spoke unhappily, "Heidey, I don't think it's good to let some stranger on."
"Gorvyn, his car broke down and we're heading there anyway. It's not a big deal," the girl named Heidey replied.
The man named Gorvyn still frowned and voiced out his dissatisfaction, "Who knows if his car really broke down? He could be waiting here for us on purpose. After all, we're here for the spiritual herb."
Heidey frowned slightly, "Gorvyn, don't think the worst of everyone. Anyway, don't we have Schultz even if there's any accident? There won't be any danger."
As she spoke, she patted the shoulder of the driver. He was a man in his thirties, named Schultz.
He smiled, "Since he's here, let's just give him a ride. It's not that far anyway."
At this time, Fade had reached the car. Heidey reached her hand out and pulled him up.
"Thank you very much," he expressed again.
The woman closed the door, patted the back of the driver's seat, and smiled, "Schultz, let's go."
As the car started, she smiled as she introduced herself, "My name is Heidey, the one in front of you is Gorvyn and the one driving is Schultz. What's yours?"
"My name is Fade. Thanks for your help." He nodded to the three of them.
She grinned, "You're too polite. How many thanks have you said in this short period of time?"
Gorvyn, who was in the passenger seat, turned his head. His tone wasn't so friendly, "Your name's Fade. What are you doing in a place like this?"
Hearing the interrogating tone, Fade frowned and his voice went cold, replying calmly, "Nothing, I'm just taking a walk by myself."
"Taking a walk? You've come to a place like here just to take a walk? Do you think I'm a fool?" Gorvyn sneered and his expression darkened, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Fade frowned even more when he saw this and he answered unhappily, "I don't have to tell you what I'm doing here."
"You..." Gorvyn hissed, enraged and he looked like he was going to start a fight.
When Heidey saw this, she quickly glared at him before explaining to Fade, "Fade, don't mind him. Gorvyn's like that; he isn't easy to get along with. The three of us have come to Namuchia to..."
