Buck drove them to a large seaside villa in his hovercar.
It wasn't until she stepped out of the hovercar that Lu Xiao truly believed what Ares had told her: his life with his Father hadn't been difficult.
'She'd been wrong to pity him so much.'
It was clear that Buck was extremely well-off. As they walked, he gave them a tour. "Miss Lu Xiao, do you enjoy swimming? This entire stretch of the sea is mine, so feel free to enjoy it. If you prefer hiking, that's an option too. That mountain over there is also mine. It's covered in fruit trees."
Lu Xiao listened to Buck and replied obediently, "Alright, Father."
"I knew you were coming, so I hired the best chef. I can also cook, you know, if…"
"That won't be necessary, Father. Letting the chef handle it is fine," Ares cut in before Buck could finish, clearly knowing what his father was about to suggest.
