"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate about this? It seems normal to me!" Raiya looked at Fade weirdly.
He frowned and said, "It's a charity dinner and the tickets are so expensive. It's become a dinner to make money. Isn't it missing the original purpose?"
"Make money?" Raiya looked at him with an exaggerated expression and spoke agitatedly, "What are you thinking? This is Micovia, not our home country, so how would something like that happen? On the other hand, the profits from the dinner will all be donated to people living in the slums. They'll put the money to good use. Hence, the more money they get, the better."
Yonas coughed and spoke, "World famous celebrities will attend the dinner. If they don't put a limit on the attendees, the whole Losangel City would be trampled to dust. As such, the ticket is considered the quota. Anyway, it isn't much to those who can afford it."
After listening to the two of them, Fade shook his head and mumbled, "Anyway, I feel that this method is a little weird. If they really wanted to donate, why not directly pass the ticket fee to the people in the slums instead of going through the organization committee?"
Hearing this, Raiya told him, "You're too narrowminded. They organized the celebrity charity dinner not only for the donations but to use the influence of the celebrities to attract more attention. They want everyone to take note of those people in the slums that need our help and let the celebrities be examples to us."
"Examples? I heard that many Micovian celebrities take drugs and get into fights. Their private lives are a mess. I don't think people like that are suited to be examples," Fade retorted.
"What rubbish are you spouting? Do you think the Micovian celebrities are like the ones in our home country? Micovian celebrities are both endowed in beauty and talent. The young guys in your country can't even compare to them. Don't use your standards to evaluate Micovian celebrities." Raiya was a little angry.
When Fade saw this, he wanted to retort but Serena beside him tugged at his sleeve and he immediately changed his words, "Maybe I've gotten it wrong."
Although he had given in, Raiya still had an angry expression on her face. She wasn't very happy with Fade.
Although he was behind her, she started grumbling in front, "We gave you a ride because we are fellow citizens. In the end, you turned out to be another idiot that has been brainwashed by our country. All you know is to talk bad about Micovia. You don't even have your own opinions. We really can't converse at all."
Yonas looked emotional too. He sighed and shook his head. "Raiya, don't be mad. We aren't of the same level and we see things differently. It's normal to not be able to converse.
After rambling, he turned around to look at Fade with disdain. "There's a bus stop ahead. Get down there."
When he heard this, Fade's face changed and he wanted to speak.
However, Serena spoke first, "Yonas, Fade is a fellow countryman. Since he is already in the car, it isn't good to kick him out now."
"What's more, Fade just expressed his own opinion just now. If you don't agree, you can have different views. There's no need to take the matter so seriously."
When Raiya heard this, she huffed, "Serena, this isn't about our opinions. This Fade is too arrogant. He clearly doesn't have any knowledge but he talked bad about the Micovian celebrities; it's so
infuriating."
Yonas spoke coldly too, "I'll get my Micovian citizenship soon. Very soon, we won't be fellow citizens anymore."
"Yonas, you've gone too far. You..." Serena's expression fell and anger appeared on her face.
At this moment, Fade's expression eased up and he gently tugged at Serena's sleeves and said, "Serena, thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I don't mind getting out of the car. It's alright."
