"How do you think they're going to react when they see us?" Zheng asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Jian asked. "They're going to react the same way the public did. They won't want us there."

Jian shrugged. "I was made talented. You were built to be talented. That's different." 

"And yet one does not make it any better than the other," Zheng said, trying to calm the situation. 

Ashley sighed as she listened to their conversation. 

"Umm, are we going to meet the players now?" Max warily asked.
