“Miss Mari, where are we going next?” Akari spoke as she pulled open the door to the room.
Standing outside the door was a stalwart man dressed in black, with a build like an iron tower and a height close to two meters.
The muscular man had sharp eyes and wore a loose suit, while reaching his hand into his inner lining, as if groping for something.
“Black Dragon, don’t be so rude.” Hearing Mari’s words, the muscular man withdrew his hand from his inner lining, saying with a somewhat hesitant tone: “Eldest Miss, the head of the family said before to protect you closely and leave you not even an inch, and no one is allowed to approach without your permission…” “This girl is allowed to stay by my side.” “You don’t need to follow me anymore.
I’m going out for a bit.
If the old man asks about my current situation over there, you know how to answer, right?” Mari gave the muscular man a familiar look.
“Yes, Eldest Miss.” After hearing this, the muscular man no longer reached into his inner lining, but instead stood earnestly at the doorway of the room, as if Mari had just left the room.
With a serious expression on his face, he stood at the doorway in an extremely standard military posture, his body unmoving, like a lifeless wax figure.
Prompted by her soldier-like reactions and perceptions, Akari was certain that the muscular man must have been drawing a gun just now.
Within this distance, if the other party mistook her for an enemy, without Mari letting her speak to explain, she estimated she would have been riddled with bullets directly and lying on the ground covered in blood.
At this, Akari’s heart panicked even more.
Who would have known that the wealthy young lady she casually accepted a commission for on the Inter-Knot to take out to play had such a profound background.
Even her bodyguard could carry a gun on his person.
Based on the conversation between the two just now, as well as the bodyguard’s words, Akari guessed that the wealthy young lady in front of her should be the eldest miss of some family.
And the head of the family in the bodyguard’s mouth should be her father.
“Miss Mari, where are we going next?” Akari asked tentatively.
Mari was deep in thought, supporting her chin with one hand, before finally speaking unhurriedly: “You decide the place, but it’s best to have a bit of novelty.
Those places I often go to aren’t very interesting.
You know, I’m a person who loves novelty the most.” “If you didn’t know before, then you should know now.” In every gesture, Miri’s words and actions exuded the arrogance and etiquette of a wealthy young lady.
As the young lady of a prominent family, Miri’s words and actions were indeed very fitting for her identity.
“Miss Mari, I wonder if you have ever drunk milk tea?” Akari hesitated a bit, but after much thought, she still decided to take this eldest miss to a milk tea shop to have a look.
An eldest miss like this must live a secluded life on ordinary days.
Even if she went out to play, the places she went to would definitely be high-end entertainment venues, separated from ordinary folk like her by more than one tier.
The closer it was to daily life, the more unfamiliar this eldest miss would likely feel.
Since it was unfamiliar, it meant there was novelty.
“What is milk tea?” Sure enough, doubt appeared on Mari’s excessively pretty face.
She was somewhat curious about what milk tea was.
“Milk tea is a kind of drink I quite like to drink, but you probably haven’t had it before.” “Hmph, isn’t what you said a bit arbitrary?
In New Eridu, is there still something I can’t afford to drink?” Mari snorted coldly, her tone carrying a bit of haughtiness.
As expected of an eldest miss from a prominent family, every gesture revealed a bit of competitiveness and conceit.
“It’s not that you can’t afford to drink it, it’s just that given your family background, it’s a drink you wouldn’t come into contact with.” Akari originally wanted to explain that given Mari’s status, she would simply never drink this kind of drink consumed by ordinary people.
But in Mari’s ears, these words changed flavor.
Mari thought that the milk tea mentioned by the other party was a substitute for some high-end drink that she couldn’t afford.
Hearing this, Mari’s expression immediately sank a bit.
“In that case, then you will take me to see it.
I’d like to see what there is that I can’t afford to drink…” While speaking, Mari’s tone became a bit stiff.
Seeing this scene, Akari secretly thought it was bad in her heart, knowing that the other party probably misunderstood her words.
But this was hard to explain, and Akari had no other choice but to bite the bullet and take the other party to a milk tea shop to taste it.
“Let’s go, I’ll go buy subway tickets at the subway station ahead.
Later we’ll take the subway to Lumina Square.
There is a milk tea shop there, and the milk tea there is quite delicious.” Akari took out her tablet and walked over to the side of the subway ticket vending machine, intending to scan the code to pay and buy tickets.
“Tsk…” Seeing Akari’s actions, Mari was even more speechless.
She was an eldest miss of a family after all, and certainly didn’t lack this bit of money.
How could she possibly take the subway to a milk tea shop?
If other ladies in the same social circle found out that she, the dignified daughter of a top prominent family in New Eridu, actually had to take the subway to a milk tea shop, she estimated she would be sneered and ridiculed by others for who knows how long.
“Take what subway?
Do I look like a person who lacks this bit of money?” Mari snorted coldly, found the keys from the bag she was carrying, and pressed them a few times toward a certain direction on the street.
Soon, a black sports car sounded over there.
The sports car’s lights flashed twice, as if prompting that the owner of this car was right here at this moment.
“Still not getting in the car?
If you still want to take the subway, then you go over by yourself.
I’ll drive over and wait for you there.” Mari felt a bit disgusted, thinking Akari looked a bit like a country bumpkin.
“No, whose eldest miss is this anyway…” Seeing the other party’s car, Akari only felt it was somewhat absurd.
The car she was driving, Akari of course recognized.
This car was the top luxury sports car recently researched, developed, and launched by Sanmen Group.
The entire body of this car adopted carbon fiber materials, was powered by a special process, and simultaneously hired top designers to design the vehicle’s exterior, with the whole car adopting curve designs with extreme aesthetic appeal.
Furthermore, the internal driving force reached a terrifying effect, with acceleration from zero to one hundred taking only seven seconds.
There were even rumors that this car had already reached military-grade application standards, with anti-risk capabilities comparable to an off-road vehicle.
This car was waterproof and sandproof, capable of facing various extreme environments.
However, the price of this car was naturally not cheap either.
Even the lowest entry-level configuration required 14 million dennies.
Moreover, this car was currently still in the pre-sale status and had not actually been packaged and shipped out.
Being able to get the car early and already have it on the road further proved Mari’s profound background.
“Wait for me…” Seeing that there was a car to ride in, Akari no longer cared about anything else, and directly sat down in the passenger seat with a plop.
“You’re sitting in the passenger seat?
Please, I came over to hire you to take me out to play, how did you sit in the passenger seat?” Akari’s preemptive action instead left Mari at a loss.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t the other party drive while she sat in the passenger seat?
Yet Akari completely reversed it.
Sitting right in the passenger seat with a plop, she looked at her eagerly, preparing to let her drive.
