The next day, when everyone went to the tournament arena, realizing that Charles wasn't as simple as they thought regarding Ning Fan, their reactions varied when they saw Charles greet them with a smile.
Hasen rolled his eyes, seeming rather unfriendly towards him. Vivian smiled at him lightly, but her attitude was distant.
Winnie looked at him defensively, as if ready to teach Charles a lesson should he harm Ning Fan in any way.
They had already parted unhappily the previous day, and then the boy returned saying he hadn't gained Ning Fan's trust.
Charles was overwhelmed with frantic unease in his heart, but couldn't completely give up. Moreover, Ning Fan seemed to have bought the Jade Pendant Charles had his eye on last night, so Charles decided to stay by Ning Fan's side for now.
Therefore, when he saw Ning Fan looking at him with a strange expression, Charles even managed a smile in greeting.
"What a coincidence meeting here this morning," he said.
