“Reported”
John was once again almost pissed to death, and he also tried to tease Tom.
"Let's not talk about me. But, you know, I don't expect the Embeth Family's young master to go all the way to Snail City just to return to District 8."
Isn't Slime City a few hours closer to District 8's open border than this remote Snail City? Why bother to go to a father place.
"I also thought that the Embeth Family would pick you up with a private ferry! How did you take public transportation just like me?"
John looked concerned, but every word stabbed Tom's heart deeply.
He's just a peripheral member of the Embeth Family, and he was "exiled" to District 9 for a few months.
Naturally, the Embeth Family would not send him a private ferry or any other special treatments.
Tom's face instantly flushed red in shame, but he didn't have his sidekicks anymore, so he could only endure it.
