As soon as he arrived, many around them rushed to greet him immediately.

"Young Master Haymitch, you're finally here."

"Young Master Haymitch, you've brought a new batch of beautiful women! And it's even a pair of twins this time!"

"Young Master Haymitch, this vintage car looks pretty good. Is it your newest purchase?"

Hearing the voices of the people around him, Young Master Haymitch smiled and said to one person, "Master. Liu, I got this pair of twins a week ago. They're decent, aren't they?"

"Young Master Haymitch, you sure have good taste." Master Liu immediately laughed.

Young Master Haymitch looked at another person and said, "Xu, my car was bought from an auction abroad last month. I heard that it was an old royal car with a history of 80 years. Remembering that there was a castle here today, I felt that an old car would match it well, so I drove it here. Xu, you like cars. Go

have a try."

When Xu heard this, he was instantly overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Haymitch. But we can always try later. Let's go in and have a rest first."

"Alright then!" Young Master Haymitch laughed heartily while hugging the twins tightly in his arms.

At this moment, Edgar was about to welcome him with a smile too. But just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly thought of something. He stopped and introduced to Fade, "This is Haymitch Zhao, also known as Young Master Haymitch. His father is the deputy minister of our Long City's Ministry of Culture. You should be more alert later."

Hearing this, Fade immediately understood. This man's father had a position that was much more higher and influential than the rest of them such that everyone had to flatter and be obsequious to him.

Even Edgar was the same. Despite the fact that his father was in the Health Ministry, which was of the same level as the Ministry of Culture, his father was just Chief Zheng, while this Young Master Haymitch's father was a deputy minister. This meant that his position was a level higher than Chief Zheng.

At this time, Edgar had already approached Young Master Haymitch and began to greet him.

Young Master Haymitch greeted him with a few words, then looked over at Fade to ask Edgar, "Is he the doctor you brought?"

Obviously, he'd also heard that Edgar was going to bring someone here.

Upon hearing his words, Edgar nodded and said, "Yes, it's him. His name is Fade Chen."

After that, Edgar turned his head around to hint Fade with a wink, gesturing for him to come over and greet Haymitch.

However, Fade was not interested in talking with them, and it was impossible for him to suck up to such a person. Therefore, he simply pretended not to see Edgar's wink and ignored it.

When Edgar saw this, his expression tightened. However, in the face of Haymitch, it wasn't appropriate for him to vent his anger, so he could only let out an awkward laugh.

Haymitch's face also darkened when he saw this, and he said, "This man is quite interesting, isn't he?"

Edgar's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. Things didn't seem to be going well. He immediately explained, "He's just a bumpkin who hasn't seen much of the world. He must've been completely dumbstruck by you. Please don't mind him, Young Master Haymitch."

Haymitch only snorted lightly and said nothing. Then he went straight past Fade, walking into the castle escorted by the others.

Edgar silently slowed down his pace and joined Fade at the end of the crowd with a gloomy face. With a questioning tone, he asked, "I just winked at you to come over and greet Young Master Haymitch. Didn't you see it?"

Fade put on a surprised look and said, "You wanted me to say hello to him? I thought you were just contorting your face, so that was what you really meant."

"You - " Edgar was so infuriated that he was tongue-tied. He could not help but glare at Fade and said, "Don't you know how to take the initiative when you saw the others? I can't believe you lack the proper etiquette."

Fade replied blandly, "Young Master Zheng, wasn't it you who wanted me to communicate less with them?"

His words left Edgar dumbfounded. It was true that he had instructed Fade not to talk to people casually so as not to embarrass him. As a result, it was now used by Fade against him.

Edgar was at a disadvantage now, so he did not say anything else, but still reminded him one last time, "Forget about these things. When you go in later, you should be more careful and do whatever I ask you to do immediately. Do you understand?"

"Okay." Fade responded faintly, then took the initiative to walk in. "Everyone went in, let's go in too. Otherwise, we'll end up hungry if they finish the food before us."

"You - "Upon hearing this, Edgar was so annoyed that he was about to have a migraine, barely holding himself back from cursing out loud.

At this moment, he cursed his father several times in his heart. Why would his father want him to bring along such a weirdo to the gathering? This person was so embarrassing. However, at this point, Fade had already walked in, and Edgar could only quicken his pace to catch up with him.

In the castle, the people who had entered earlier, including Young Master Haymitch, had gathered around a big table full of food and drinks. They began to chatter away enjoyably. Edgar looked around to check where Fade had gone. However, his heart thumped loudly in his chest as though it was going to explode the moment he saw where Fade was. Fade had helped himself to a giant plate of food in his right hand, and a bottle of drinks in his left. He sat alone in the corner and began to feast to his heart's content.

Edgar held back his anger and walked towards Fade. He growled in a low voice, "What are you doing?!"

Fade replied nonchalantly, "Well, I'm eating, of course! I hadn't drank any water after sitting in the car for so long so I'm starving and thirsty."

"Do you want some? I grabbed a lot, it's even enough for you." While speaking, Fade handed Edgar a handful of food.

After hearing Fade's words, Edgar could feel the veins on his head throbbing madly and the blood pounding in his ears. He was furious.

Before he could erupt in madness, Young Master Haymitch called out, "Edgar, what are you doing alone over there? Come over here!"

"Sure, Young Master Haymitch, I'll be right there." Edgar nodded quickly and shot Fade a fierce glare, he then walked toward Haymitch in a hurry.

Sitting next to him, Edgar picked up a glass of wine, proposed a toast to Haymitch, and then bottomed it all by himself.

Haymitch took a small sip, then glanced at Fade as he said to Edgar, "The guy you've brought is quite interesting!"

Edgar was shocked and quickly explained, "Young Master Haymitch, that guy is just a country bumpkin. He doesn't know any manners. If you feel that he's annoying, I can drive him away right now." However, Haymitch waved his hand and said, "No, no. Usually, it has always been the few of us. It's a nice change of pace to have a person like him join us. Just let him stay."

"Yes!" Edgar nodded.

The group of people ate, drank and chatted with each other noisily. From time to time, they would glance at Fade's direction and burst into laughter. Obviously, they were discussing about him behind his back. As for the content of the discussion, needless to say, it wouldn't be anything nice.

Of course, Fade noticed all this, but he was unbothered. He pretended that he did not hear anything and completely ignored it. After he was done eating, he leaned against the sofa to rest. Anyway, there would be no next time after this gathering, and he didn't really want to mix with this group of people in the future anymore.
