Compared to talking on the phone with Lily Turner, Michael Linton was much more casual and impolite when facing Easton Holmes.
When he heard Easton Holmes asking about the occasion, he immediately retorted, "Do I need a reason to treat you to a meal? Can't an uncle invite his nephew to dinner?"
After speaking, he didn't forget to snort discontentedly at the person on the other end of the phone.
"Time! Place!"
Though Easton Holmes had the same doubts and surprise as Lily Turner, he didn't reject Michael Linton like Lily. Instead, he asked his uncle for the time and place of the meal.
Michael Linton had left Flame City over twenty years ago. Although he returned frequently, he rarely went out to roam around. He didn't have the leisure time for that.
He returned to Flame City either to visit his elderly father or for business.
