Ethan's smile froze a little, but he eventually laughed and reached out his hand to Quinton cheerfully. "Ah, you're an old friend! I've heard so much about you!"
"We're indeed old friends." Quinton had a cold look in his eyes. He said, smiling, "After all, there were many times when I wanted to chop you up and feed you to crocodiles!"
"Hahaha! Quinton, you're such a funny man!" Ethan pointed at Quinton. "I thought Ace had beaten you into depression. Is that why you've been hiding in Water Dock?"
"You must be joking, Mr. Stuart. Do I look depressed? You can try to find out."
"If I do, I'll die."
