Chapter 150 Barret's Invitation

　　…

　　"Really? I asked him to come and help." Seeing that scene, Tifa clenched her fists in dissatisfaction, and then complained in a low voice: "The organization is obviously short of money, and all the funds depend on my small bar, but he still doesn't work hard to make money. It's really abominable."

　　With anger, Tifa strode towards Barret. Shen Ye and Aerith looked at each other and followed with smiles in their eyes.

　　"Bang!"

　　As soon as Tifa walked over, she slapped the table in front of Barret, causing the wine bottles and glasses on the table to shake. At the same time, it also scared the two people who were drinking and Marlene who was cheering for her father on the side.

　　"Ha, it's Tifa, you're back!" Barret asked with a big tongue after seeing that it was Tifa, "Are Shen and the others here?"

　　"Here it is! Barret." Behind Tifa, Shen Ye raised his hand.

　　"Shen, have a drink." Barret raised his glass, but it was immediately snatched away by Tifa.

　　"You are only allowed to drink beer now. Don't forget that you still have work to do." Tifa glared at him and spoke word by word.

　　Barret was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that Tifa seemed really angry, this over-active strong man surprisingly did not argue. Instead, he thought: "Beer is also good, at least it's not juice."

　　At this moment, Marlene, who had finally calmed her beating heart, rushed towards Aerith.

　　"Sister Aerith, you haven't come to see Marlene for a long time." Marlene rubbed herself hard in Aerith's arms.

　　"Because my sister has things to do!" Aerith liked Marlene very much. She pinched her nose and continued, "Just like you, you have to go to school during the day."

　　"But the last time the uncle came, was he free during the day?" Marlene asked.

　　"Not really. When I'm free, I'll help your sister Aerith take care of the flower garden!" Shen Ye said, taking the wine handed to him by Jessie and taking a big sip.

　　Then he almost spit out the wine in his mouth and looked at Jessie in confusion.

　　"Don't worry, it's just strong liquor, nothing weird is added." Jesse covered his mouth and laughed, then returned to the bar with the tray.

　　"If you're not used to it, just pour it out. I'll go make you a cup of Cosmo Canyon." Seeing Shen Ye frown, Tifa turned and walked towards the bar, but halfway through, she turned back to Shen Ye and said, "Sit down first. I'll be right over."

　　Shen Ye nodded and pulled Aerith and Marlene to sit opposite Barrett.

　　Barret looked at the wine that Shen Ye placed on the table and couldn't help licking his lips, but when he thought that Tifa, the organization's biggest financial backer, was already angry, he endured it.

　　"From what Tifa said just now, it seems like you have something to ask me?" Shen Ye asked, holding the wine glass in both hands.

　　Although Barret's tongue was swollen from drinking, he still remained sober. After listening to Shen Ye's words, he remembered his purpose.

　　"Have you heard of Avalanche?" Barret and his friends were in a corner with only one table and no outsiders around, so Barret looked around and spoke in a normal tone.

　　"I've heard a little about it." Shen Ye nodded.

　　Aerith, who was whispering with Marlene, looked up at them. She grew up in Midgar and often came into contact with Turks, so she knew a lot.

　　"So, what do you think of what Avalanche did?" Barret continued.

　　Hearing this question, Shen Ye didn't know how to answer for a moment.

　　Of course he knew that Avalanche's appearance was to resist Shinra Corporation's endless exploitation of the life flow on the planet, and in fact this was a good thing. However, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Avalanche's actions, especially the series of things Barret did after leaving Avalanche.

　　It's too extreme, even more extreme than the extreme environmentalists in the real world.

　　For the so-called ideals, they would even rather sacrifice the lives of ordinary Midgar citizens, which is no different from Shinra Corporation exploiting ordinary citizens.

　　However, Shen Ye also knew that Barret and the others did this for the sake of the planet and to allow life on the planet to continue to reproduce and survive, so he was silent for a while and didn't think of how to answer.

　　Looking at Shen Ye who fell into silence, Barret was not in a hurry, just looked at Shen Ye.

　　After a while, Shen Ye sighed slightly, took a sip of wine and said, "I don't object to what Avalanche did."

　　Hearing this, Barret's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

　　"But..." Shen Ye suddenly said, "I don't support it either."

　　Barret's expression instantly returned to normal.

　　"Why?" Barret thought for a moment and asked.

　　"It's very simple. For the current citizens of Midgar, they rely on Shinra for everything and on the endless supply of cheap electricity provided by the Mako Reactors. Just like this bar, if there was no cheap electricity provided by the Mako Reactors, the costs would definitely remain high." Shen Ye said.

　　"That's right." Tifa, who was delivering the wine, nodded after hearing what Shen Ye said: "I heard from others that electricity bills have always been very expensive in the past."

　　"So you mean supporting Shinra?" Barrett asked again.

　　"That's not the case." Shen Ye shook his head: "In fact, I can't stand the exploitation of the planet by Shinra Company. It's too cruel."

　　"It's because they've been exploited too hard." Barret sighed, "Not even weeds can grow in Midgar now."

　　"That's why we rebel against Shinra's rule," Barret added.

　　"So how do you plan to resist?" Shen Ye asked knowingly.

　　Barret glanced around. Although there was still no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "We have decided to blow up Midgar's Mako Reactor."

　　"That's a bit difficult, with just a few of you." Shen Ye shook his head: "Your strength is too weak."

　　"That's why I want to ask you, are you willing to join us in Avalanche?" Barret said, "Fight to save the planet."

　　This question did not surprise Shen Ye. He knew that Barret would ask this question in the end.

　　"For now, I have no intention of joining any organization." Shen Ye did not directly refuse nor agree.

　　Sure enough, Barret was very dissatisfied with this answer. When he was about to ask why, Tifa patted him on the shoulder.

　　"Okay, Barret, let Shen think about it carefully." Tifa said.

　　Barret had no choice but to nod obediently in response to the opinion of the organization's financial backer.

　　"Shen, I hope you can think about it carefully, for the sake of this planet and the future of our descendants." Barret said seriously.

　　"I'll consider it." Shen Ye smiled and raised his glass.
