Chapter 184 Demands
After making Vanessa baffled, Shi Tian felt quite a bit uncomfortable, almost as if he was being watched in every movement.
And normally, his perception and awareness aren\'t that high, but thanks to the training done in the wilderness, he became quite sensitive.
"Hmm, it seems like we are truly being followed." Shi Tian muttered softly.
Vanessa smiled briefly and nodded her head.
"I\'m surprised you only realized it now." She responded in amusement. She even began counting on her fingers like a little girl would do when they needed to do some calculations.
"The moment we left the apartment room. Only two people were watching us. But by the time we arrived at the main lobby, there were at least five people." She added.
"Five people huh…" Shi Tian was somewhat dazed, given that he had only noticed three people. This meant that his awareness and perception still needed to be improved.
"Oi oi, your reaction seemed to me like you didn\'t know there were five people following us." Vanessa curled her mouth upward and said.
She walked closer to Shi Tian and asked, "How many people did you actually notice? Now be honest and don\'t try to lie."
As she said that, she was laughing silently because there was one additional person that she had sensed, but that person seemed to be shrouded in mystery.
Even she was unable to discern his presence if she hadn\'t focused on it.
Hence, if Shi Tian was to utter he sensed five people as a way to cover his shame, then she would be able to latch on to this opportunity and give him a beat down, mentally of course.
Alas, little did she expect, Shi Tian would say something else that made her regret her choices and decisions.
"Yeah, my perception is pretty meh compared to you. But at the very least, I have never been ambushed before and nearly lost my life." Shi Tian sighed and shook his head, acting as if he was pitiful.
"Go to hell," Vanessa clicked her tongue and hastened her speed.
"Do you even know where we\'re going?" Shi Tian asked calmly, seeing that she was rushing ahead without any sense of direction.
Though it was clear to her that he was getting revenge. He was never the type to take a loss in any situation, and would always repay them graciously.
And with Vanessa pausing her movement, but kept silent, Shi Tian chuckled softly and explained to her the location of the restaurant.
"There\'s only one decent restaurant around the area, and it\'s the Horology Restaurant. But I must warn you that your whereabouts might be disclosed to the enemies once we step foot in it." Shi Tian warned.
"So if you don\'t want to face the risk, then we can find a simple food stall to dine in." He added, giving her alternative suggestions for a safer choice.
However, Vanessa shook her head and refused to go to a simple food stall. It wasn\'t that she found the simple food stall beneath her, but the fact that she wanted the enemies to attempt to go after her again.
That was the only reason why she chose to head out, and that was to become bait. A bait that would bite the hunters really badly.
"No, let\'s go to the Horology Restaurant and let them know we\'re there." Vanessa flashed a cold smile and said. Her eyes flashed in a somewhat vicious glint.
"It\'s your choice then," Shi Tian didn\'t bother convincing or suggesting elsewhere anymore.
Sometime later, the two of them smoothly arrived at the Horology Restaurant without any hiccups.
But that was merely the calm before the storm, given that Vanessa had sensed some other people starting to follow her, albeit at a far distance.
Ever since she was ambushed, she had made the necessary preparations.
Ambushed her once?
Then it was a shame on them for being such sneaky bastards.
But if she allowed herself to be ambushed twice?
Then it was a shame on her for being such an easy target.
There was no way she would allow another ambush to be successful now that she was ready and prepared for the upcoming fight.
Without waiting for Shi Tian, she directly entered the Horology Restaurant and told the woman wearing a qipao design dress that she wanted a table for two.
"Get us a good table that offers a grand overview of the interior," Vanessa said.
She even went as far as taking out a small pouch from her pocket and tossing it around with her hand, a sign that indicated that she was wealthy and was willing to spend a lot.
The woman seeing such action was no fool either to not understand the implication. In fact, she even noticed Shi Tian, a somewhat regular that had always ordered takeout coming behind her.
She recalled that Shi Tian had spent quite a bit on their expensive dishes in the past, so she didn\'t doubt they would be wealthy patrons.
"Very well, the 2nd floor is more commodious and offers a great view of the first floor. Though it would cost extra to be assigned in such a seat." The woman smiled gracefully and explained.
It wasn\'t a surprise that if one wanted better accommodating seating at a table to pay extra for a more comfortable dining experience.
Thus, Vanessa nodded her head without showing any complaint regarding the extra charge price.
"Then hurry up and bring us a table. Also, don\'t give us the normal menu, but a premium menu. We don\'t want to eat mediocre food." Vanessa demanded, taking out 100 Eons as a tip for the woman.
The woman, dumbfounded at first, quickly smiled brighter as she accepted the 100 Eons.
Normally, her tips would only range around 5 to 20 Eons, with the highest one ever being 25 Eons. To receive 100 Eons as a tip was naturally a first for her, given that only a few of their dishes cost that many Eons.
"Please follow me, Madam and Sir," The woman\'s tone of speech was clearly a bit more respectful and polite than previously.
