Fade waited for another half an hour.
Finally, with the roar of an engine, Ashley's car came to a halt somewhere near him.
She rolled down the driver's window and sized him up before asking, "Are you the one from China whom my father had mentioned?" Her tone made him frown slightly.
Still, he nodded and answered, "I'm Fade. Are you Ashley, Mr. Zhou's daughter?"
"Isn't that a nonsensical question? Who else are you expecting?" She was a little impatient. She waved to him and said, "Get in the car. Don't waste my time."
Fade frowned slightly, but he opened the door and got into the car.
Immediately after he got into the car, Ashley ignited the engine. He hadn't even settled down.
He adjusted his posture and steadied himself.
He couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows again.
He understood that Jaguar had contacted the Zhou family to help him. He contacted Therius so that he could save his wife more easily.
However, it seemed that the Zhou family, or to be more specific, Ashley, had treated him rudely, as if she hated the idea of him coming here.
If the Zhou family's attitude was the same, Fade had already made another plan. He would go greet Therius to thank him for his help. Then, he would leave the Zhou family and act alone.
After all, with his strength, it would not be a big deal even if he did not have the help of the Zhou family. At most, it would cause some hassle to him.
At the thought of this, Fade closed his eyes and decided not to mutter another word when he saw that Ashley did not intend to talk with him.
However, Jayvon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt bored from the silence in the car.
He turned his head and sized Fade up without even bothering to hide his actions. Then, he asked, "Hey, are you from Capital City?"
Fade opened his eyes, looked at him, and responded faintly, "I am."
"So it's true!" Jayvon looked surprised and continued, "Your clothes look normal. I thought you people would dress more traditionally."
He wore a faint smile on his face as he muttered those words. No one knew whether he was simply ignorant or playing dumb.
Fade frowned and replied in a slightly dissatisfied voice, "That was a hundred years ago. Young man, it seems that you need to know more about the world"
With an arrogant look, Jayvon retorted, "Star Island is a developed country. Why should we learn about those non-developed countries?"
"If you don't have an idea, then stop talking nonsense." Fade's voice was a little cold.
Jayvon, in turn, looked surprised. "What? Are you angry? Can't you people take a joke?"
"It seems that it might be because of your poor country. Do all of you act like this? Geez!"
This made Fade feel a little unhappy and he answered coldly, "Sir, don’t forget that you and Miss Zhou are also descendants of the country."
Jayvon waved his hand and refuted, "I'm not. I'm from Star Island, unlike you."
"Ashley and her family moved to Star Island long ago. They've been the citizens here for a long time."
"Don't compare your kind to us! You people are poor and rude. You' re nothing like us. Haha.”
