Chapter 193 Tifa's Heart Flutter
Seeing Hakuto staring at her, a bit lost, Tifa said amusingly, "My face doesn't have money on it. No matter how hard you stare, it won't help."
"Compared to you, money are worthless. Even a hundred million, a billion, ten billion Yuan wouldn't be worth a single strand of your hair."
Hearing Hakuto's words, Tifa's face flushed slightly. If any other man had said this, she would have taken it as sweet talk. But coming from Hakuto, she felt it was true. A hundred billion Yuan placed before him wouldn't be worth a single strand of her hair.
"Talking like that might work on little girls, but it won't fool me."
Forcing herself not to think about it any further, Tifa snorted lightly at Hakuto. Then she changed the subject. "Alright, now we should order. This restaurant isn't too expensive, but the food is quite good."
Hearing this, Hakuto smiled slightly. He sat across from Tifa, picked up the menu, and handed it to her. "Beautiful Miss Lockhart, please order. Allow one of your admirers to pay for this meal."
Tifa Lockhart lightly bit her lower lip, 'This man...'
She didn't know why, but she, who usually had no interest in men, had her heart fluttered by this man.
From the first moment she saw him, she had been attracted. Otherwise, why would she have agreed to his invitation?
People who wanted to buy her a meal could line up from Los Santos to Floriday.
And for this date, she had specifically worn a dress. She, who usually only wore light makeup or went bare-faced, had even put on makeup.
She used the menu to hide her slightly flushed cheeks. Then she ordered a few dishes and handed the menu back to Hakuto.
Hakuto also ordered a few dishes and returned the menu to the waiter.
Then he looked at Tifa. "You mentioned you were a police officer in Los Santos, Miss Lockhart?"
"That's right. What about it?"
Tifa Lockhart looked at Hakuto.
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you'd be interested in leaving Los Santos for a while. Say, to Japan?"
Tifa immediately looked at Hakuto. "Are you asking me to leave with you?"
"I have some business to attend to. So you could go to Japan first, Miss Lockhart. I'll return soon. I promise your trip to Japan will not disappoint you."
[Next, I need to release the 'Them' virus in Los Santos. So I should have Tifa leave Los Santos first. I definitely don't want this beautiful Tifa to turn into an ugly, disgusting 'Them'.]
"Sorry. I have no plans to go to Japan right now."
After some hesitation, Tifa refused. Seeing her refusal, Hakuto thought for a moment and then said, "Then how about leaving Los Santos? Go to another city."
"I have no plans to leave Los Santos for now."
[Troublesome. Tifa doesn't want to leave America, and she won't leave Los Santos. What a headache. Then I'll just have to ask Hastalyk later not to let Tifa get infected with the 'Them' virus.]
"Alright. Let's not talk about that, Miss Lockhart."
"Tifa. Just call me Tifa."
"Alright, Miss Tifa."
"It's Tifa, not Miss Tifa."
Tifa said again.
Hakuto looked at Tifa in surprise. Then he didn't stand on ceremony.
"No problem, Tifa. Well, you don't know my name yet. I'm Yagami Hakuto. I'm very happy to meet the beautiful Miss Tifa on this day."
Looking at Hakuto's outstretched hand, Tifa shook it. Then she asked, "Why 'on this day'?"
"Because today is the day I met you."
Hakuto's words confused Tifa for a moment. Then she said to him, "With such a silver tongue, you must have deceived many girls."
"No. I never lie to the girls I like."
"Is that so? I don't believe you. Let me test you. How many girlfriends have you had?"
Hakuto looked at Tifa with a slight smile. "I've never had a girlfriend."
A flicker of joy passed through Tifa's eyes. But then she said to him, "Liar. You expect me to believe that? Someone as smooth-talking as you must have tricked many girls."
"I'm not lying. I've never had a girlfriend. But I do know quite a few women. And there are some I have feelings for..."
The smile on Tifa's face stiffened slightly.
"I never lie to the girls I like, Tifa."
The Great Ming did not prohibit polygamy, but most people were still monogamous.
America, to promote freedom and democracy, had monogamy. So upon hearing that Hakuto had feelings for several other women, Tifa fell silent.
"Hakuto, if you want to pursue me, I will not allow my boyfriend, my future husband, to maintain ambiguous relationships with other women. So if you want to pursue me, I hope you will cut off all ambiguous relationships with other girls."
After speaking, Tifa looked at Hakuto, waiting for his answer.
"Sorry, Tifa. I cannot abandon the other girls. If I can abandon them for you today, can you guarantee I won't abandon you for someone else tomorrow?"
Tifa's expression was emotionless. "Then we can only be friends."
Hakuto was silent. Then he smiled. "Being friends is fine."
Just as Hakuto finished speaking, a gunshot shattered the peaceful atmosphere in the restaurant. Several gangsters with guns walked in. At the entrance, a restaurant waiter lay on the ground, blood slowly pooling beneath him.
Hakuto instinctively asked Tifa, "Are they filming a movie?"
