"Hongmen owes me some money and hasn't paid it back. Since I'm here in the United States, I have no choice but to go collect it," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Jon Delson looked a bit surprised, but he couldn't quite grasp the relationship between Jiang Chen and Hongmen, so he refrained from speaking freely.
"Do you know where Hongmen is located?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Uh, the headquarters of Hongmen is in Honolulu, but they also have a branch in Angel City," Jon Delson quickly replied.
"Tomorrow, come with me to meet someone from Hongmen," Jiang Chen said.
"Sure. By the way, Master, my granddaughter has a friend who is a disciple of Li Yunye, one of the founding elders of Hongmen. Li Yunye is currently in Angel City. How about we go see him tomorrow?" Jon Delson suggested.
"That sounds great."
That night, Jiang Chen had dinner at Jon Delson's house. After dinner, he returned to his room to rest while Jon Delson pulled his granddaughter Alice aside to ask her to invite White over tomorrow.
Alice had been holding back all day; she had been observing Jiang Chen for several hours, but he hadn't displayed any extraordinary abilities, which left her feeling quite frustrated. She couldn't shake the feeling that her grandfather was being deceived and that Jiang Chen was nothing more than a pretentious fraud.
At that moment, Alice found herself comparing Jiang Chen with White and felt that White excelled in every aspect. This only reinforced her belief that her choice was the right one.
"Grandpa, the Huaxia Expert seems less impressive the more I look at him," Alice couldn't help but say.
"There’s an old saying in Huaxia: 'A true master does not reveal their skills.' The abilities of our Master are beyond your imagination. Remember to show him respect," Jon Delson admonished seriously.
"Even if he has some skills, Grandpa, he's not my type at all. He's about my height—around one seventy-five—and his looks are quite ordinary. Although I'm not superficial, I think his physique and appearance just don't cut it. I believe White is far superior; at least he has a better build and looks," Alice said candidly. To be honest, she had harbored some fantasies about this Huaxia Expert when she saw how serious her grandfather was, but seeing Jiang Chen's true self shattered those illusions.
"That's quite shallow of you. Forget it; let's not discuss this anymore. Just remember to have White come see me tomorrow morning," Jon Delson reiterated. He was somewhat deluded; Jiang Chen had no interest in his granddaughter whatsoever and didn't even glance at her, so Jon Delson decided not to use her looks to curry favor with Jiang Chen.
"Grandpa, it's not shallow; I genuinely don't find him appealing. Even if he is a master, I stand by my principles," Alice insisted stubbornly.
"And besides, Grandpa, you weren't deceived by him, were you? I heard that Huaxia has a kind of illusion technique that can bewitch people's minds," Alice added.
"Nonsense! I don't want to hear you say such things again," Jon Delson shot her a glare.
Feeling quite downcast that night, Alice eventually took out her phone and called White to invite him out for drinks.
As for White, Alice couldn't say she liked him much at this point. However, due to events from three months ago, the Robert Family had ultimately agreed to give her six months to spend time with White. After six months, regardless of how things turned out, she would have to get engaged to him.
