Chapter 139 Heading To The Seventh Block

　　…

　　After breakfast, the three of them rested for a while, then said goodbye to Elmyra and left home.

　　"There's a station nearby with buses to the Seventh Street District."

　　On the street, Aerith and Shen Ye walked side by side. Of course, there was little Marlene between them, and she was held by one hand each.

　　"Sister Aerith, have you been to the Seventh Block?" Marlene looked up at Aerith.

　　"I've been there a few times to sell flowers." Aerith said, then she held her forehead with some regret: "Oh no, I should have brought some flowers, so I could make some money to support my family."

　　"Don't worry, Sister Aerith, my father will definitely give you a thank you fee after you send me back." Marlene said.

　　Aerith shook her head. "That's not necessary, Marlene. I'm not sending you home for money."

　　"Okay then." Marlene said somewhat disappointedly, then turned to look at Shen Ye and found that he seemed to be thinking about something, with a serious expression on his face.

　　"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Marlene asked him, "You looked so serious just now!"

　　"Nothing." Shen Ye collected his thoughts, smiled and shook his head, then turned his head to glance behind him and snorted.

　　He sensed someone was following them.

　　"Shen, don't worry, he means no harm."

　　As the only ancient species, Aerith is not a weak woman. She also possesses special perception abilities and knows what Shen Ye is worried about.

　　"Yeah!" Shen Ye nodded, then ignored the people following them and turned to chat with Aerith and little Marlene.

　　Soon, they arrived at the station.

　　Before coming, Shen Ye had already exchanged money in the system mall, but he was not familiar with the place at all. While he was still looking at the route, Aerith had already bought the ticket.

　　Looking at the somewhat depressed Shen Ye, Aerith said to him with a smile: "I'll let you pay next time."

　　Then she picked up Marlene and took Shen Ye to the bus to the Seventh Block.

　　…

　　The bus was going very fast and soon arrived at the viaduct between the fifth and sixth blocks. There were actually Shinra soldiers guarding the area, but they simply got on the bus and took a look around. Without a thorough check or asking for identities, they let the bus enter the sixth block.

　　The bus then continued to drive towards the seventh block, but not long after it went far, it was stopped by a group of people.

　　They were a group of guys who looked like they were not easy to mess with. One of them was very strong. After the car door opened, he came up and shouted to the people in the car: "By order of Boss Don Corneo, we are going to check the people in the car. Please don't be afraid."

　　Although his words were polite, they were full of the implication that no one could refuse. Then he took a few of his younger brothers and checked the people in the seats one by one.

　　"It's so unlucky. How could something like this happen?" Alice frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

　　She knew what kind of person Don Corneowas. He was the leading figure in charge of the dark forces on the streets. Moreover, most importantly, he was very lustful, so his subordinates would often look for beautiful women everywhere to please him.

　　There was not a single woman in the slums of Midgar who didn't hate him.

　　"Don't worry, I'm here." Shen Ye pinched Aerith's arm and whispered.

　　Soon, the big man came to the row where Shen Ye and Aerith were sitting. When the big man saw Aerith's appearance, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

　　"If I offer her up, the boss will definitely reward me handsomely."

　　But just when he was about to ask his younger brother to arrest the man, he noticed Marlene lying in Aerith's arms. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out a photo from his pocket. After taking a look, his face lit up with joy. Isn't this little girl the person his boss is looking for?

　　"It's really a double happiness!" The big man grinned, then waved his hand and asked his younger brothers to gather around him.

　　"This beautiful lady and this lovely girl, please let us go through. Our boss wants to see you." The big man ignored Shen Ye who was sitting in the aisle and said to Aerith and Marlene.

　　Aerith didn't even look at him, she just hugged Marlene tightly, then looked at Shen Ye beside her.

　　"Can I reject your boss' invitation on their behalf?" Shen Ye tilted his head and looked at the big man.

　　"What do you think?" The big man looked at Shen Ye fiercely: "Boy, you have nothing to do here, get out of here now."

　　"What if I say no?" Shen Ye stood up and looked at him coldly.

　　"Then be prepared to go to the sewer to feed the rats." The big man said ferociously, then raised his hand to grab Shen Ye's collar.

　　But his speed was still much slower than Shen Ye's. Before his hand could touch Shen Ye, he was grabbed by the throat and lifted up.

　　The big man was over 1.9 meters tall and weighed at least 100 kilograms, but in Shen Ye's hands, it was as easy as lifting a chicken.

　　The big man whose throat was strangled couldn't say anything, and even breathing became difficult. His face turned red, and he kept slapping Shen Ye's arm that was strangling his throat.

　　"Put down our big brother." The big man's younger brothers were stunned for a moment and then shouted beside him, but no one dared to come forward to help.

　　Are you kidding? Our big brother is such a good fighter, and now he's in this state, aren't they just going to be fed?

　　"Shen." Seeing that the big man's face was about to turn from red to purple, Aerith pressed Shen Ye's shoulder and shook her head at him.

　　"Not here."

　　She wasn't pleading for the big man, but reminding him that little Marlene was still here.

　　Shen Ye naturally would not kill anyone in front of little Marlene. Of course, he did not want to act too ostentatious. He let go of his hand only after he felt that the big man was about to die.

　　"Huff, huff!"

　　The big man, who was already extremely short of oxygen, fell down in the aisle, breathing in the air in big gulps. There was no arrogance on his face anymore, and the expression he looked at Shen Ye had turned into fear. He could feel that the other party really wanted to strangle him to death just now.

　　"sorry."

　　The big man was a flexible character. After realizing the ferocity of the man in front of him, he quickly got up, bowed deeply to Shen Ye, and then hurriedly got out of the car with his younger brothers.

　　"Get out of my way."

　　After getting off the car, the big man dispersed his men who were still blocking the car, then bent down and made a gesture of invitation.

　　"Keep driving, Mr. Driver." Shen Ye shouted to the driver.

　　"Oh...oh, okay." The driver swallowed and started the bus quickly.

　　Looking at the bus going away, the big man touched his neck and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　However, before he could finish his breath, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

　　"Which blind guy?" The big man was already unhappy and cursed as he turned around.

　　Then he was stunned, because behind him stood an extremely handsome man with long hair.

　　The man was followed by a group of fully armed Shinra soldiers.

　　"What did you do when you got in the car just now?" asked the handsome long-haired man with a smile.
