Madigan frowned and asked unhappily, "What happened with those two people just now?"
"It's not a big deal. They were just talking to me," Sierra replied blandly.
Madigan felt somewhat dissatisfied with her reply, "What's with your attitude? Don't you know that our family is looking for a son-in-law for you soon? Yet, you rub shoulders with these swindlers. It will certainly affect our family if this raises gossip. What should we do then?"
Upon hearing this, she pouted her lips and complained, "I'm not the one who wants to find a husband. I'm only doing this for the sake of Dad and Grandpa. I'm not interested at all!"
"Stop being so stubborn. The candidates are all young and handsome. You know, most of the martial artists have good personalities," he stated.
"What's so good about them? They can't even compare with Master Chen," she pouted.
He glared at her, "Master Chen is in a league of his own. How could anyone compare with him? Stop daydreaming and get prepared for the upcoming selection."
"I... I..." She wanted to retort, but she was becoming less and less confident. Deep down, she knew that there was a huge gap between her and someone like Master Chen. She could only fantasize about it.
Seeing that his younger sister gave in, the expression on his face softened, "Sierra, this is all for your own good and also for the sake of our family. You will come to understand Dad and Grandpa."
"Brother, I understand. I will pull myself together," she answered in a low voice as she nodded her head.
"Alright, it's good that you understand. Get some rest!" He replied.
After Fade had a drink with Scott in the bar, he took him back to the hotel and sent him back to his room to rest.
Both Caesar and Tom returned in the evening. Scott was still dead drunk, so the three of them had dinner together.
Tom talked about his martial arts center and expressed his gratitude to Fade again. He also invited him to visit the center during his free time.
After dinner, Caesar stopped Fade just before they parted, "Brother Fade, do you have a second?" "Of course!" Fade nodded his head and sat down opposite him. He then turned his gaze to Caesar.
Caesar looked slightly embarrassed as he started hesitantly, "Brother Fade, I... I..."
"Come on, we're all brothers. Just spit it out," Fade smiled and patted his shoulder.
Caesar then said, "Brother Fade, I have a favor to ask of you."
"What is it?" Fade studied him curiously.
Caesar continued, "I am heading over to a clinic in Roann City tomorrow for a competition to compete our medicinal skills. I don't have the confidence to win, so I would like to ask you for help, Brother Fade."
"A medical competition! Sure, I'll do it!" Fade was a little surprised, but then he said doubtfully, "If it's a competition, won't it be a little inappropriate for me to take your place?"
