"I'm sorry, I could have negotiated down the handling fee before I paid you, but now..."

Thomas looked apologetic. "Besides, you should be careful next time. I'm afraid that in the eyes of some people, you may have been labeled as very rich and submissive. You may need to spend money in the future."

“This has happened before.”

"Ah? Then what should we do?" Paimon asked hurriedly.

Thomas was waiting for her to ask this question, so he said, "Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, those wealthy businessmen will stick together for warmth. This is also the origin of the International Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps you can..."

"It's okay, it's just a little Mora." Shen Fei probably guessed Thomas's thoughts, so he interrupted him.

He had no interest in the International Chamber of Commerce, but he could blackmail the Kanjo Bugyo samurai who collected taxes.

Shen Fei looked at Paimeng and said, "Okay, don't embarrass Thomas. He is the household official of the Kamisato family and belongs to the Society Bugyo among the Three Bugyo. He is not in the same department as the Kanjo Bugyo. How can he interfere in the affairs here?"

Shen Fei said this to Thomas on purpose, just to tell him that he knew his background.

As expected, after hearing this, Thomas was a little surprised, and then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Captain Shen Fei knew my information. It's an honor."

"Know a thing or two."

At this point, Shen Fei looked at the other party with some curiosity, "As far as I know, you are a Mondsman, and you came to Inazuma later. So, do you believe in Barbatos, the wind god who advocates freedom, or Baalzebub, the thunder god who pursues eternity?"

Thomas didn't expect Shen Fei to ask such a question, but he was stunned for only a second before saying, "Since I am now in Inazuma, my faith is naturally in the general who protects this place."

"But I also have great respect for Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind."

His words were flawless.

Shen Fei looked at Wendy teasingly and said with a smile: "Indeed, compared to Barbatos who only knows how to drink and play all day and does nothing serious, believing in the powerful and beautiful Baalzebub is a better choice."

Wendy immediately rolled her eyes.

"Captain Shen Fei, you shouldn't say that." Thomas laughed awkwardly and said, "Since everyone has come to Inazuma, let me, as the host, treat everyone to a meal, okay?"

The original plan didn't work, so he could only settle for the next best thing and try to get closer to Shen Fei and others first.

Shen Fei had no objection to this, but he planned to find a place to stay before going out to eat.

So Thomas took everyone and found a nice place to settle down.

Just when they were planning to go out for dinner together, several Fatui came from the front, and it seemed that they were coming for Shen Fei and the others.

"Everyone, the lady invites you."

Hearing this, Shen Fei was a little surprised.

Although they knew that the lady was in Inazuma, they didn't expect that she would take the initiative to invite them.

Is there something wrong?

Faced with this completely different situation from the original plot, Shen Fei became interested, so he said to Thomas: "Sorry, Thomas, it looks like your meal will be postponed for a day."

"It doesn't matter. In that case, I will come back to bother Captain Shen Fei tomorrow." Thomas shook his head and left quickly.

He was also a little surprised that Shen Fei knew the Fatui executive and seemed to have a good relationship with him, so he had to tell Kamisato Ayaka about this information as soon as possible.

After Thomas left, Paimon asked in confusion, "Why did the lady invite us?"

"Maybe he saw someone he knew?" Shen Fei's eyes swept across Wendy and Zhongli's faces, as if this was the only possibility.

Before, whether in Mondstadt or Liyue, although because of him, Ying and Paimon did not have enmity with the ladies as in the game plot, the relationship between the two sides could only be regarded as a casual acquaintance.

At most, he witnessed with his own eyes the hearts of two gods being taken away.

Based on these alone, Shen Fei didn't think the other party would be kind enough to treat them to a meal.

Therefore, the greater possibility is that Zhongli and Venti saw Inazuma together and were worried that their mission would be affected.

After all, in the eyes of ladies, apart from the waste Barbatos, Morax still needs to be a little cautious.

"I don't think there's any need for me to go with you?" Wendy also thought of this, so she said quickly. He didn't want to see a lady now.

"Do you think you can hide? They might have seen you a long time ago."

Shen Fei patted his shoulder and consoled him, "What are you afraid of? You've given her your heart and been slapped. In her heart, you're a useless guy now. At most, you'll be verbally insulted a few times, which is not a big deal."

Do you call this a big problem?

Wendy's face was full of resentment, but he also knew that Shen Fei was right, so he was too lazy to think about it anymore and just followed behind him with peace of mind.

"It seems that the lady is quite busy. She took the God's Heart from the singing singer in Mondstadt before, and then ran to Liyue without stopping to take Zhongli's God's Heart. Now she has rushed to Inazuma ahead of us, and it seems that she came many days in advance."

Paimon shook his little hands, his tone full of sighs.

"From this point of view, she seems to be a competent worker, and she is wholeheartedly collecting God's Hearts, unlike those other traitors."

Shen Fei couldn't help but laugh.

Paimon asked curiously, "What does 'twad' mean?"

"It's almost like being a traitor." Ying explained for Shen Fei.

Nodding, Paimon continued, "The power of Zhidong seems to be very strong. It seems that there are Fatui in every country. Although we are foreigners in Inazuma, they are obviously much freer."

"After all, they have cooperated with the Kanjo Bugyo and Tenryo Bugyo, accounting for two of the three Bugyo. If they don't even have the right to move freely, what's the point of cooperation?"

Shen Fei said.

"Where is the community executive?" Paimon asked.

Shen Fei: "The Society will never cooperate with the Fatui!"

Ying looked at him curiously: "Why do you say that?"

"Because about a dozen years ago, the Fatui schemed against the Society Bugyo, causing it to suffer heavy losses and severely damage its vitality. The person in charge of the Society Bugyo at the time, the head of the Kamisato family, became depressed and eventually passed away."

"The current head of the Kamisato family is the eldest son of the previous head, Kamisato Ayato. He also has a younger sister, Kamisato Ayaka, who is also known as the White Egret Princess."

"Thomas must have come into contact with us under the arrangement of Kamisato Ayaka."

Shen Fei said.

Paimon stamped her feet, "How could this happen?! I thought Thomas really had heard about our heroic deeds in Inazuma and came over to get to know us!"
