Matthew frowned. Martin seemed to have bought into Brandon's words, which could complicate things. "Mr. Carter, please let me explain. He attacked me first. I had to defend myself," Matthew explained. Martin's expression remained stern. "Why would he attack first? Clearly, he saw something suspicious in you. Now, tell me, where is your family from?" Rachel tried to intervene. "Dad, I've already told you about Matthew. Why are you asking again?" Martin shot her a glare. "Be quiet!" "Okay…" Rachel then fell silent, frowning. Her eyes were filled with concern. Matthew had no choice but to answer, "My family lives in Silverbrook Village, located in the Brackenridge district of Lambda City." "Silverbrook Village?" Martin raised an eyebrow with a hint of disdain. "A rural village?" Matthew nodded. "Yes, a rural village." Disgust flashed across Martin's face. "A country boy, huh? No wonder you're so aggressive." Martin shook his head in disappointment and turned abruptly to Rachel.
