Chapter 1198

.

Bermuda Islands, an unknown Western restaurant.

Shi Lei had just cut a well-done steak, poured some pepper sauce on it, and was about to dig in when he heard a young voice. Shi Lei looked up and saw a young girl with light gray shoulder-length hair and delicate fair skin. Beside her was a middle-aged man with strong muscles and sharp eyes.

"Hm?" Shi Lei looked puzzled as he carefully considered the identities of the young girl and the middle-aged man. In just a few seconds, Shi Lei remembered the young girl's name.

"Afra Elberta?" Shi Lei asked uncertainly.

This young girl had once saved Shi Lei's life. Back then, Shi Lei had cooperated with Ye Feng and chosen to be Ye Feng's hostage. Then, he had voluntarily fainted in the storm drain on Shuangyuan Road in Shuanghu District.

Although there had been no danger in the storm drain, it had still been this young girl who had saved him. Shi Lei and Afra Elberta hadn't met and had only communicated via email for a while. But from the way she had addressed him, Shi Lei was still able to determine Afra's identity.

After all, this young girl was the only one who had seen Shi Lei in an unconscious state!

"Yes, unconscious brother. How do you know me?" Afra Elberta asked with a smile.

The middle-aged white man standing beside Afra looked sharply at Shi Lei. If Shi Lei's answer was wrong, or if Shi Lei did anything excessive, he would definitely explode like a cheetah.

Shi Lei didn't seem to notice the middle-aged white man's vigilance. He used a stainless steel fork to fork a well-done steak and put it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he replied, "Because I've only appeared once in that state of weakness. Based on the information from the Shuanghu District police and the way you addressed me, I can easily determine your identity. Thank you again for saving my life. If you don't mind, let's sit down and eat something together! "

Fainting was a very weak state. In that state, one's life was in the hands of others. If given the choice again, Shi Lei would never choose to faint.

Afra Elberta revealed a dimpled smile. "Alright, I happen to be a bit hungry!" As she spoke, Aphrodite turned to look at the middle-aged man and asked, "Kane, do you want to eat something?"

Kane shook his head and refused, "Miss Aphrodite, I don't need it." As Aphrodite's bodyguard, he had to be vigilant at all times, especially when facing unknown people like Shi Lei.

Although they had saved Shi Lei back then, who could guarantee that Shi Lei wasn't casting a long line to catch a big fish? Who knew if he had set a trap back then for Aphrodite?

"Alright!" Afra Elberta didn't force Kane. She knew Kane's duty. Aphrodite picked up the menu and casually flipped through it. Then she glanced at the small pieces of well-done steak on the clean white plate in front of Shi Lei and laughed softly.

Shi Lei seemed to understand Aphrodite's meaning. "Aphrodite, can I call you that?"

"Of course." Aphrodite's identity was special. Not only was her family prominent, but she also had another special identity. Therefore, she had almost no friends. Aphrodite couldn't feel any desire to curry favor from Shi Lei or to curry favor with her. Therefore, she was willing to become friends with Shi Lei.

"Aphrodite, do you think it's weird to eat well-done steak?" After Shi Lei finished speaking, he once again put a small piece of well-done steak into his mouth and slowly chewed.

Kane, who was standing next to Aphrodite's seat, also showed a hint of a smile on his serious face.

Aphrodite nodded and said, "Fainted brother, why do you like well-done steak? A well-done steak's texture is too thick and loses the original freshness of beef. "

"Ahem, Aphrodite, my name is Shi Lei. You can call me Stone or Stone Monster. "Shi Lei couldn't stand being called" Fainted brother "and took the initiative to introduce himself.

A crescent-shaped smile appeared on Afra Elberta's somewhat melancholy and pale face, appearing especially elegant and pure.

"Stone," Afra Elberta called out softly.

"Mm." Shi Lei responded and then continued to put the well-done steak into his mouth. "Aphrodite, what do you want to eat? Anything, it's my treat! "

Aphrodite flipped through the menu and finally ordered a cup of coconut juice.

Shi Lei was a bit puzzled. "Aphrodite, why are you only drinking a cup of water?" Logically speaking, when entering a coffee shop, one would usually eat something and not just drink juice.

Aphrodite thought for a moment and said, "I was waiting for someone here and just happened to run into you."

"What's the matter?" Shi Lei frowned slightly. "Aphrodite, you're my savior. If there's anything you need help with, I'll help you."

"I …" Aphrodite was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

"Miss Aphrodite!" Kane stared at Shi Lei vigilantly, his eyes filled with intense vigilance.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a young man around the age of twenty walked towards Aphrodite. This man wore sunglasses, beach pants, and a pair of slippers. He had the air of a playboy.

“Hello，Afra！” The young man seemed to only have eyes for Aphrodite and directly ignored the existence of Shi Lei and Kane.

Kane glanced at the young man and then looked at the entrance of the coffee shop. There stood two muscular middle-aged men. They were the young man's bodyguards.

"Rotes Aldrich, please call me by my full name, Aphrodite Aldrich. Our relationship isn't close enough for you to call me Aphrodite." Aphrodite's face turned cold, her melancholy aura making people want to protect her.

Rotes Aldrich wiped away his smile and took off his sunglasses. His handsome face, coupled with his blonde hair, was quite attractive. However, the person he was facing was Shi Lei. Shi Lei didn't like men at all. No matter how handsome Rotes Aldrich was, he couldn't attract Shi Lei.

"Who are you?" Rotes Aldrich said arrogantly. "Hmph, what right do you have to sit with Aphrodite? Get out of here! "

Shi Lei glanced at Rotes and didn't say anything. He took out his satellite phone and called Shi An. He said in Xia Xia language, "Shi An, I'm at Capone Coffee Shop. There's a bit of trouble. Bring some people over to solve it!"

In public, Shi Lei didn't call Shi An by his position. Instead, he called him by his name.

Shi An agreed without hesitation. "Shi Lei, be careful. I'll bring some people over immediately!"

Shi Lei finished the call and put the satellite phone on the table. He said in English, "Who am I? What right do you have to know? "

Hearing Shi Lei's answer, Aphrodite's face showed a crescent moon smile again.

Rotes Aldrich showed an angry look. "Damn you, what did you say?" Although Rotes was very angry, he didn't say any racial insults. The Bermuda Triangle archipelago was still part of the British Empire. If he said something racial, he would get into big trouble even if he had a strong background.

"Hmph!" Shi Lei snorted and ignored Rotes. He looked at Aphrodite and asked, "Aphrodite, is this the person you've been waiting for?"

Aphrodite nodded her cute little head. Although foreigners matured early, the 60-year-old Aphrodite did look like a cute young girl. She didn't look mature at all.

Rotes Aldrich looked at Shi Lei and Aphrodite's familiar faces and the jealousy in his eyes burned even brighter. He signaled to the two bodyguards at the door to find a reason to teach Shi Lei a lesson.

In Rotes Aldrich's opinion, the thin and weak Shi Lei was no threat at all. His two bodyguards could easily teach Shi Lei a lesson.

After receiving their master's signal, Rottas's two bodyguards immediately walked over to Shi Lei. Coincidentally, at this time, Shi An walked into the cafe with five people from the Rongcheng Military Region.

A smile appeared on Shi Lei's face as he said in the language of Xia, "Shi An, subdue those two!" As Shi Lei spoke, he pointed at Rottas's two bodyguards.

Immediately, the two elite soldiers from Rongcheng Military District pounced on Rotes' bodyguards. Rotes' bodyguards realized that something was wrong when Shi Lei pointed at them. When the elite soldiers from Rongcheng Military District pounced on them, they didn't get knocked down immediately.

The four of them fought back and forth in the coffee shop. However, the elite soldiers of the Rongcheng Military Region were superior in the end. In less than thirty seconds, the two bodyguards of Ross were subdued.

Shi Lei looked at the cafe staff and said in English, "I will take responsibility for any losses. Don't worry."

The originally anxious staff of the coffee shop immediately relaxed. They were most afraid that a brawl had broken out in the cafe and no one would take responsibility.

Rotes Aldrich looked at Shi An and the others in surprise. He knew how powerful his bodyguards were, but he didn't expect them to be subdued so easily.

"You!" Rotes turned to look at Shi Lei with fear in his eyes. He tried to maintain his dignity and said, "Don't mess around. Do you know who I am?"

Shi Lei chuckled. "Sorry, I don't know you."

Shi An walked towards Shi Lei. Rotes became even more nervous, afraid that Shi An would ignore him. At this time, Aphrodite came to Rotes' rescue. "Stone, let Rotes Aldrich leave!"

Shi Lei shrugged, indicating that there was no problem. Rotes hurriedly ran out of the cafe, leaving his two bodyguards behind. Shi Lei signaled Shi An to let go of Rotes' bodyguards. He didn't know if Rotes' bodyguards would still follow him in the future.

"Shi Lei, are you okay?" Shi An walked to Shi Lei's side and asked in Xia Xia language. He sized up Aphrodite for a moment before retracting his gaze.

Shi Lei waved his hand. "I'm fine. The problem has been solved. Shi An, you can go back first!"

Shi An wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he didn't say anything. He left with the elites of Rongcheng Military District. Originally, Shi An wanted to remind Shi Lei to treat He Wanqiu well. However, he realized that he wasn't in a position to do so.

After Shi An and the others left, Aphrodite looked at Shi Lei in amazement. "Stone, the Aldrich family is a noble family of the Great British Empire. They are very powerful in Scotland. If you hurt Rotes, you will be in a lot of trouble." Aphrodite seemed to be explaining why she let Rotes go.

Shi Lei nodded to show that he understood.

Although the Great British Empire was a developed country, some of its hierarchy still retained very ancient customs. For example, those titled nobles were actually hereditary. It was simply unimaginable.

"Stone, did you come to the Bermuda Triangle Islands for a vacation?" Aphrodite asked. However, what she meant was that Shi Lei came to the Bermuda Triangle Islands for what purpose?
