Chapter 158 - Chapter 158 Walled Shopping Street

  …

  "Where to go next?"

  After coming out of the lingerie store, Tifa asked Shen Ye.

  "Let's find a place to eat!" Shen Ye asked about the time before coming out. It was almost time for dinner.

  "I know there's a restaurant nearby that serves delicious food. Let's go there." Scarlet also came out with them. As a high-ranking member of Shinra, there was no restaurant in the entire upper-class area that she had not eaten at.

  "Hey, hey, hey, the "we" Shen mentioned refers to the three of us, not you!" Aerith shook her finger at her. Now that the sisterhood is back, she and Tifa are temporarily on the same side again.

  Scarlet immediately looked at Shen Ye with a pitiful face: "My knight, are you going to abandon me?"

  "Uh!" Shen Ye frowned. Although he wanted to refuse, he didn't know why his heart softened and he nodded in agreement: "Then let's go together."

  "Shen..." Aerith stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.

  "We always need someone to help pay, right?" Shen Ye sighed, then put on an expression that said I'm going to eat the rich man's food.

  "Yes, yes! The restaurants in the upper-class area are not cheap. You must have spent a lot of money shopping today, so let me treat you this time." Scarlet followed Shen Ye's words.

  "But..." Tifa on the side also wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Ye.

  "It's settled, Scarlet, lead the way!" Shen Ye waved his hand and said.

  "With great pleasure, my knight." Scarlet smiled and bowed like a lady, then turned around and walked in front.

  "Shen!" Behind him, Tifa frowned and said, "She is from Shinra."

  "And he's a high-ranking official in Shinra," Aerith added.

  "I know, but she probably has no ill will towards us." Shen Ye said, "Remember what I talked about with Barret before? Although I don't support Shinra, I don't oppose it either. Besides, it's just a meal, nothing will happen, not to mention that she paid for it."

  "Okay then!" Seeing that Shen Ye insisted, Aerith and Tifa didn't know what to say, but they felt a sense of crisis in their hearts at the same time.

  …

  "Shen, do you have any plans after dinner?"

  Inside the restaurant, Scarlet asked Shen Ye who was sandwiched between Aerith and Tifa.

  "Home, of course," said Aerith. "We all live in the slums. Now you can't have any reason to follow us, can you?"

  "That's true, but..." Scarlet nodded, "However, the night is still long. It would be a waste of time to rest so early, right? Why don't we go to the Wall Market to have some fun?"

  The Wall Market is in the sixth block of the lower class area. It is the most prosperous and fun place in the lower class area. Many rich people from the upper class area often go there to have fun.

  "The walled shopping street?" Shen Ye was a little excited. He had been here for so long but had never been there.

  Seeing Shen Ye's excited expression, Scarlet continued, "It seems that you are very interested in that place, Shen!"

  Shen Ye nodded: "I've heard of it, but I've never had the chance to go there."

  "So, let's take this opportunity to go there together." Scarlet said, and then said to Aerith and Tifa: "Look, Shen really wants to go. If you really like him, you shouldn't object, right?"

  "Of course not!" Scarlet said so, how could Tifa object?

  "Are you still treating?" Aerith said.

  "Of course, I'll pay for all the expenses tonight." Scarlet smiled slightly: "And, if possible, I'll pay for the rest of the night, too!"

  "That's not necessary." Aerith shook her head. She knew that one should be grateful to the person who gave him the favor.

  Looking at Aerith who was shaking her head, Scarlet had some regret in her eyes. Her idea had failed.

  However, she didn't expect to defeat Aerith and Tifa with this kind of attack.

  "There are still many opportunities, aren't there?" Scarlet thought to herself while biting the spoon.

  And new opportunities are about to appear, and they are right where you are going.

  …

  Scarlet was the last to emerge from the restaurant.

  Of course, she said she was going to pay the bill, but Shen Ye and the other two who were waiting outside saw her making a mysterious phone call while paying the bill.

  "Shen, who do you think she is calling?" Aerith asked. She felt something was wrong.

  "How about I go in and ask her?" Shen Ye pinched Aerith's nose: "Then I'll come back and tell you."

  "Forget it, she's so secretive, she won't tell us." Aerith crossed her arms and said to Tifa, "We have to keep an eye on her and don't let her do anything wrong."

  Tifa nodded: "Don't worry, Aerith, I will keep a close eye on her."

  "You two, is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Shen Ye said with a wry smile: "Could it be possible that she will eat me later?"

  "That's hard to say." Tifa was an experienced person. While eating, she could clearly feel that there was something wrong with Scarlet's eyes when she looked at Shen Ye.

  "It's mainly because she's from Shinra. If it was someone else's woman, we wouldn't be so nervous!" Tifa said again.

  "Really?" Shen Ye glanced at her and thought that this was interesting.

  As the three were talking, Scarlet came out of the restaurant. She waved the car keys in her hand and said to Shen Ye and the others, "Come with me, we'll drive there."

  "Are you driving?" Shen Ye glanced at the car with the Shinra company logo parked on the side of the road.

  "Of course, my skills are still pretty good." Scarlet said confidently, then walked towards her car.

  "Minister, do you need us to accompany you?" At this time, several Shinra security guards who were protecting her safety ran over and asked.

  Scarlet originally wanted them to go back first, but thinking that the walled commercial district was far less safe at night than during the day, she nodded.

  "Follow me. Oh, by the way, send someone to warn those guys on Wall Street to be more restrained tonight. I don't want anyone to disturb us."

  "Yes, Minister." One of the security guards nodded, then took out his phone and started making a call.

  At this moment, Scarlett's cell phone rang as she got in the car.

  She looked down and saw a text message from someone named Mam.

  "Minister Scarlet, the room you reserved has been arranged."

  Scarlet smiled after reading the message, then deleted it immediately, and said to Shen Ye and others who got in the car: "Hold on tight, I'm going to start the car."

  After saying that, she started the car and drove to the lower area.
