Chapter 620 Mutual Praise

It was already four in the afternoon when we landed. Colin took us to a restaurant. He seemed to know his way around here. I had no appetite, so I only took a few bites and waited for them outside. Colin and Ezekiel came out a moment later. "So where are we going?" I asked.

"What's the rush? We'll take the tram. K's grandmother lives in a remote village. It's really far from where we are, but first, we have to buy some traditional attire. It's the annual Fireworks Festival today so the temple is open to the public."

I couldn't believe Colin knew so much about this place, and I held my annoyance in. "This is why we came here?"

Colin gave me a sideways glance. "Hey, we might be on a search, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring. Besides, it's not like we can see this every day. Don't get mad. Remember I told you that K can be anachronistic? It's because of his family. His grandma works for the temple, and she's a very traditional woman. She hates outsiders, that means anyone not local. Wearing a traditional attire can win some points with her."

Impatiently, I said, "Yeah, right. You're obviously an outsider. You're not fooling anyone just because you're wearing traditional attire."

"I know, but it's not like I'm the one seeing her. I just want to blend in and enjoy the festival. I might even get to know some cute girls. I can pick the clothes for you again if you don't like them. Give me a minute."

Colin slipped away right after he said that. I took a deep breath and told the silent Ezekiel, "I've been tolerating him."

"I can see that."

Ezekiel looked at the bustling street. "But that's how Colin works. He's a frivolous man, but he wasn't lying. K's grandmother is indeed very traditional, and he really wants to join the event."
