He was startled for a mont, but he didn’t think too much about it and nodded.
Although everything now was implented with advanced technology, and you could book ordinary tickets through your personal terminal, the sky shuttle was different.
The reason was, most people who took the sky shuttle were basically people who were going to the other regions for business, or so influential person who had to take care of so issues. As such, the sky shuttle didn’t implent online ticket booking. Instead, they required the passengers to personally go buy the tickets themselves.
With that, they could verify the identity of the buyer, allowing them to prevent any unexpected problems from occurring.
After lunch, Zhang Che bade farewell to Angelina and the others properly and left the manor together with Chen Lishan.
They flagged down a taxi on the streets and headed to the closest ticketing center.
Just as the taxi drove off, a compact car silently drove out of a nearby alley and tailed them from a discreet distance.
During the taxi ride, Chen Lishan didn’t speak a word at all; Zhang Che didn’t know what to say, either. After all, the two of them had only known each other for two days. They weren’t close at all, and didn’t know where to begin.
Being in an awkward silence for the whole ride wasn’t a solution either. So, Zhang Che randomly found a topic and asked, “Uh, right, Lishan, don’t you need to go visit your family?”
Chen Lishan shook her head, replying with a bitter expression, “I don’t have any family. From the ti when I can rember things, it was my older brother who took care of .”
Her words were a little contradictory. Since she had no family, where did that older brother who took care of her pop out from?
Chen Lishan noticed the confusion in Zhang Che’s eyes. She explained softly, “My brother left not long ago as well. Now I’m all by myself...”
Zhang Che felt extrely awkward! -Why did the random topic I chose have to be on where it hurt for her? Am I really that bad at small talk?-
Chen Lishan took a glance at Zhang Che and suddenly chuckled, “It’s fine. I’ve accepted my fate.”
This conversation was a little strange, and it wasn’t nice for Zhang Che to continue asking about it. He could only smile and nod, keeping his mouth shut.

The rest of the journey was filled with silence. The taxi soon arrived at the nearest ticketing point.
Zhang Che took the initiative and paid for the fare. Afterwards, he helped Chen Lishan open the car door. When the taxi drove off, he saw a compact car driving right towards him from his peripheral vision.
-Who the heck did I offend?- Zhang Che was stunned. The car was obviously speeding at him intentionally. It couldn’t be an accident.
Although he didn’t understand why soone would try to run him over, Zhang Che’s reaction wasn’t slow. With a thought, a dark golden ray of light shot out from between his brow. The large Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander directly appeared beside him, blocking off the angle the car was coming from.
Zhiii... The sharp screech of a car braking rang out. Seeing as he was about to run into the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander, the driver quickly turned the wheels and braked to a halt, almost scraping the beast’s body.
The car door opened. A white youngster ca out, exasperated, shouting at Zhang Che, “You fucking yellow monkey, who the hell allowed you to Summon your subdued beast? Get ready for jail!”
Although Zhang Che didn’t understand what the opposite party was saying, he knew it was nothing kind. Just as he was about to go teach him a lesson, he noticed Chen Lishan’s expression had turned extrely ugly.
“What happened, is there a problem?”
“Brother Sun, have you forgotten that in the Bei i region, many cities prohibit beastmasters from Summoning their subdued beast? San Diego is one of those cities.”
Zhang Che’s face instantly darkened.
He realized that this white youngster wasn’t trying to run him over. Maybe he was only thinking of scaring him, but had unexpectedly yielded such a great result.
At this mont, sharp police sirens rang out. A police car quickly drove over from nearby and braked to a stop. The door opened. A few fully-equipped officers ca out. One of the officers ca walking up to them, his face angry, and interrogated Zhang Che, “Damn it, have you forgotten the first law?!”
Zhang Che’s face was as confused as ever. -I don’t freaking understand you...-
Chen Lishan imdiately stepped forward. She pointed at the white youngster and said, “Officer, that man tried to run us over. My friend was only acting in self defense in a panic. I don’t think that constitutes as breaking the first law.”
The white officer then turned to the white youngster and asked in a half-hearted manner, “Hey kid, is that true?”
The white youngster showed an innocent look, arguing, “Officer, they’re lying! My mind just wandered off a bit. I slamd on the brakes and didn’t hit them at all. Look at the tyre marks on the ground if you don’t believe .”
The officer imdiately turned his head back towards Zhang Che and Chen Lishan, saying sternly, “This matter is very clear now. Seeing as how that mister over there managed to brake to a stop despite being absent-minded while driving, it was impossible for him to knock you down. I feel there is a need for you to make a trip back to the station with .”
Zhang Che’s expression darkened slightly. Although he didn’t understand him, he could feel the discrimination coming from them.
He couldn’t be bothered to answer him, and directly waved at the Dark-Scaled Lizard Commander, who then turned into a streak of dark golden light and flew back into his spiritual sea.
This ti, the officer’s expression changed slightly. -A dark gold-quality subdued beast! Even if it is a low-tier one, it’s not sothing ordinary beastmasters would have! Looks like these two people’s identity isn’t ordinary.-
“Well then, I think both sides were in the wrong in this matter.” The officer’s expression changed a few tis. In the end, he said to Zhang Che and Chen Lishan, “Indeed, this matter shouldn’t be counted as breaking the first law. You can go now. As for you, kid...”
The officer turned to the white youngster and said sternly, “You’re suspected of reckless driving. Please co back to the station with us.” As he spoke, he signalled to the white youngster with his gaze, stopping him from trying to continue arguing.
The trouble ended just like that. However, Zhang Che noticed that the white youngster threw a resentful glare at him when he was leaving.
Zhang Che only chuckled inwardly in disdain at this. -I’m only scared that you won’t co at , kid!-
They arrived at the ticketing hall. After Zhang Che bought a sky shuttle ticket to Hua Xia for tomorrow, just as he was about to bid farewell to Chen Lishan, he saw hesitation on her face. She suddenly spoke up, “Brother Sun, can you bring with you?”
