Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

“Why wouldn’t there be? People of Shinra have hearts too,” Scarlett said.

"Is that so?" Tifa snorted coldly, speaking in a voice so low that only the three of them could hear her: "If that's the case, why do you keep using the Mako Reactor to extract the life force from the planet? Look at the slums below, look at the ground of Midgar, not even a weed can grow. You don't even love this planet, so what kind of true love are you talking about?"

Scarlett remained nonchalant, saying, "But that's none of my business."

“Okay, even if it’s none of your business, or rather, let’s not discuss anything grand, let’s just say this: Scarlett, don’t you think your age doesn’t match Shen’s?” Alice said with a hint of malice. “I remember you’re almost forty, right? Even if you’re well-maintained now and look very young, what about ten or twenty years from now? Can you stay with Shen forever?”

Upon hearing this, Scarlett's face instantly darkened. The fact that she was older than Shen Ye was a thorn in her side, and now that Alice had directly brought it up, she felt a pang of pain.

Seeing Scarlett remain silent, Alice knew she had hit the nail on the head. She smiled smugly at her and then, arm in arm with Tifa, entered the lingerie store.

Watching Alice and Tifa's retreating figures, Scarlett's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. Then, she seemed to have made up her mind and clenched her fist.

"It's time to have a serious talk with Hojo," Scarlett thought.

Then, she smiled, seemingly feeling much more relaxed, and followed them into the lingerie store.

……

Once inside the lingerie store, Shen Ye found a place to sit, just like before. However, since it was a women's lingerie store, he felt embarrassed to look around, so he focused his gaze on the three women who had just entered.

The three women had different personalities and preferences, so after entering, they each went to a different area to make their selections.

Soon, they had chosen their favorite styles.

However, because they were wearing underwear, none of the three women could bring themselves to wear their underwear out directly for Shen Ye's critique.

Although some of them really wanted Shen Ye to go straight into the changing room, the situation was different now, as others were watching!

So after they finished trying it on, they asked the waiter to pack it up and pay the bill.

……

(Guess what Scarlett will do next)

Chapter 158! Walled Shopping Street

……

"Where to go next?"

After leaving 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 dinnertime now.

“I know a restaurant nearby that serves good food, let’s go there.” Scarlett came out with them; as a high-ranking member of Shinra, there wasn’t a single restaurant in the entire Upper District that she hadn’t eaten at.

"Hey, hey, hey, when Shen says 'we,' he means the three of us, not you!" Alice shook her finger at her. Now that their sisterly bond was back, she and Tifa were temporarily on the same side again.

Scarlett looked at Shen Ye with a pitiful expression: "My knight, are you going to abandon me?"

"Uh!" Shen Ye frowned. Although he really wanted to refuse, for some reason, his heart softened, and he nodded in agreement, "Then let's go together."

“Shen…” Alice stomped her foot in dissatisfaction.

“We always need someone to help pay, don’t we?” Shen Ye sighed, then put on an expression that said, “I’m going to rip you off.”

“Yes, yes! The restaurants in the upper district are not cheap. You must have spent a lot of money shopping today, so let me treat you this time,” Scarlett said, following Shen Ye’s lead.

“But…” Tifa wanted to say something, but Shen Ye interrupted her.

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

“With pleasure, my knight.” Scarlett smiled and gave a ladylike curtsy, then turned and walked ahead.

“Shen!” Tifa frowned and said from behind, “She’s a Shinra person.”

“And he’s a high-ranking member of Shinra,” Alice added.

“I know, but she probably doesn’t mean us any harm,” Shen Ye said. “Remember what I talked to Barrett about before? I don’t support Shinra, but I’m not against it either. It’s just a meal, nothing will happen, especially since she’s paying for it.”

"Alright then!" Alice and Tifa saw that Shen Ye insisted, so they didn't say anything more, but at the same time, they felt a sense of crisis.

……

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

Inside the restaurant, Scarlett asked Shen Ye, who was sandwiched between Alice and Tifa.

“Of course we’re going home,” Alice said. “We all live in the slums, so you can’t have any excuse to come with us now, can you?”

“That’s true, but…” Scarlett nodded, “However, the night is still so long, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to rest so early? How about we go to the Walled Shopping Street for some fun?”

The walled shopping street is located in the sixth block of the lower district, which is the most bustling and fun place in the lower district. Many wealthy people from the upper district often go there to have fun.

"The walled shopping street?" Shen Ye was intrigued; he had been there for so long but had never been before.

Seeing Shen Ye's interested expression, Scarlett continued, "It seems, Shen, that you're quite interested in that place!"

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

“So, why don’t we take this opportunity and go there together?” Scarlett said, then turned to Alice and Tifa, “You see, Shen really wants to go. If you really like him, you shouldn’t object, right?”

"Of course not!" Since Scarlett had said so, how could Tifa possibly object?

"Are you treating again?" Alice asked.

“Of course, I’ll cover everything for tonight,” Scarlett smiled slightly. “And, if possible, anytime in the future too!”

"Then there's no need." Alice shook her head; she knew the saying, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is obligated to him."

Seeing Alice shaking her head, Scarlett felt a pang of regret; her hopes had been dashed.

However, she didn't expect to defeat Alice and Tifa with this offensive.

“There are still plenty of opportunities, aren’t there?” Scarlett thought to herself, biting her spoon.

And a new opportunity is about to emerge, and it's right where we're going.

……

Scarlett was the last to leave the restaurant.

Of course, she said she was going to pay the bill, but the three people waiting outside saw her making a mysterious phone call while paying the bill.

"Shen, who do you think she's calling?" Alice asked, sensing something was wrong.

"Should I go in and ask her?" Shen Ye pinched Alice's nose. "Then I'll come back and tell you."

"Never mind then, judging from her secretive manner, she definitely won't tell us." Alice crossed her arms and then said to Tifa, "We have to keep an eye on her and make sure she doesn't do anything reckless."

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

"You two, is it really necessary to be so dramatic?" Shen Ye said with a wry smile. "Does she think she's going to eat me up later?"

"That's hard to say." Tifa, being an experienced person, could clearly sense that Scarlett's gaze towards Shen Ye was very strange during the meal.

“It’s mainly because she’s Shinra’s woman. If it were anyone else’s woman, we wouldn’t be so nervous!” Tifa added.

"Really?" Shen Ye glanced at her, thinking that her words were interesting.

As the three were talking, Scarlett came out of the restaurant, waved her car keys, and said to Shen Ye and the others, "Come with me, let's drive there."

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

“Of course, my skills are pretty good,” Scarlett said confidently, then walked towards her car.

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

Scarlett had intended to send them back first, but considering that the walled commercial district was far less safe at night than during the day, she nodded.

"Follow along. Oh, and by the way, send someone to warn those guys on Wall Street to behave themselves tonight. I don't want anyone bothering us."

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

Just then, Scarlett's phone rang.

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

"Minister Scarlett, your room has been arranged."

Scarlett smiled slightly after reading the message, then immediately deleted it and said to Shen Ye and the others who were getting into the car, "Hold on tight, I'm about to start."
