Chapter 78 See You Again Someday,Coolest Girl in Town

After his reminder, Elise realized that she was indeed a little hungry. Hence, she took the initiative tosay, “I know that there's a food street here. Let me take you around.” Alexander murmured inagreement and followed Elise to the food street in Aris. After about a twenty-minute drive, theyarrived at Aris’ landmark commercial street. The place included a combination of food andshopping, so it was suitable for people to go shop and enjoy food at the same time.

"What do you want to eat?” Elise asked, then recommended several local snacks. “The shrimpgnocchi, skewers, casserole, and barbecue meat are all pretty good. Would you like to try them?”Alexander answered, “Let's have some casserole.” However, Elise hesitated. “Their casserole is knownfor being spicy. Can you handle it?” “Yes. Let's give it a try.” So, Elise took out her mobile phone andsearched for the nearest casserole restaurant.

When she walked in with Alexander, the Arisians gave them a warm welcome and led them to theprivate room on the second floor. “What ingredients would you like in the casserole?” Elise askedwhile referring to the menu. She listed, “Ground beef, shrimp, duck, portobello mushroom...”Alexander also said, “Ground beef, shrimp, duck, portobello mushroom...” The two of them spoke atthe same time, and they even mentioned the four same ingredients in unison. Elise looked up atAlexander, who remarked in surprise, “Miss Sare, I didn't expect that you and I would have the samepreferences.”

Elise exclaimed, “I know, right! It's such a coincidence.” In the end, the two of them ordered twoservings of casserole made from those four ingredients. Elise loved casseroles very much, and shehad since she was a child. The casseroles in Aris were simply the best, so Elise enjoyed it very much."Do you want anything to drink? The specialty here is the soy milk,” Elise said, but Alexander didn'tlike soy milk. “I'll have a can of Coke.” Without even thinking, Elise rebutted, “Carbonated drinksaren't healthy. Let's change it. Why don't we get you fruit juice instead?” But, Alexander waspersistent. “Casserole and Coke is the ultimate combination.” Elise couldn't out-talk him, so shegave up and ordered a cup of soy milk and a can of Coke.

While the two of them were happily enjoying their meal, two figures appeared on the street, onechasing after the other while the latter shouted, “Catch the thief!” When Elise heard the noise, shesubconsciously looked out the window and saw a fair-skinned man chasing a tan-skinned foreignerwhile yelling, “Catch the thief!”

However, the people around them were all unbothered, and not a single person took the initiativeto help. It was as if no one could hear them. The tan-skinned man was heading their way, so Eliseinstinctively got up, but Alexander reached out and held her down by her shoulder. Shooting her alook, he jumped over the railing in front of the window and landed firmly on the ground. Ithappened so quickly that Elise didn't even have time to react as she watched Alexander strideforward in just a few steps before subduing the thief.

Elise hastily ran down but was stopped by the waiter. In a rush, she took out her purse and handedover a stack of cash; only then did the waiter let her go. When she walked out, the crowd hadalready surrounded the thief that Alexander caught. The fair-skinned man caught up and managedbetween breaths, “You wretched thief.

How dare you steal from me!” The man cursed, then unmercifully extended his foot before kickingthe foreigner. Even so, the man held on tightly to his wallet, unwilling to let go. “Thank you for yourhelp, kind sir. I've called the police, and I believe they'll be here soon.” The fair-skinned man spoketo Alexander in their local slang, but Alexander replied in English, “I'm Cittadelian!”

The Arisian wasn't expecting this, so he was surprised. “Thank you so much! Who would've thoughtI'd bump into a fellow Cittadelian!” While conversing with the man, Alexander glanced at the thief,who was on the ground after being subdued, thereby noticing that the thief didn't look frightenedat all.

"Hurry up and return my wallet to me. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer!” said the Arisian as hereached out to grab the wallet from the foreigner's hand. Unexpectedly, the man didn't hesitate inthe slightest before he bit down hard on the Arisian’s hand. Alexander slightly narrowed his eyesand kicked the man, who ended up lying flat on the ground while the wallet fell out of his hand.The foreigner didn’t care anymore and simply got up from the ground before running away. TheArisian wanted to chase after him, but the foreigner ran away so quickly that he disappeared intothe crowd in an instant. “You should take a look and see if anything's missing.” The Cittadelianpicked up the wallet and roughly glanced through it. “Thank you all so much. In fact, the money inthis wallet doesn’t matter, but my ID card and passport are in here.

If I lose those two things, going back to Cittadel would be troublesome. The embassy of Aris islocated so far away from here, and it's also very troublesome to go through all the procedures. So,thank you very much.” Alexander replied nonchalantly, “It was nothing. Don't mention it.” The manthen took out a business card and handed it to Alexander. “This is my business card. If you everneed anything in the future, feel free to contact me.”

After briefly scanning through the business card, Alexander was surprised. “You're from Northcliff!”In fact, he was the successor of the famous Hayes Enterprise in Northcliff. This is such a smallworld! Frederick Hayes gave a brief explanation. “My family is doing business in Northcliff, so I'mgetting by all right.

If you encounter any difficulties in Northcliff in the future, or if there's ever a situation where I canbe of use, feel free to get in touch with me.” Keeping his business card, Alexander said, “I'mAlexander Griffith from Athesea. I believe fate has brought us together.” Frederick's eyes lit up whenhe heard his name.

“Are you Alexander Griffith, the leader of the Griffith Family in Athesea?” Alexander was well-knownin the industry for his resolute business methods, so his name wasn't foreign to Frederick, whodidn't expect to meet the man here today. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Griffith! I'll definitely visityou when I go to Athesea someday.”

Alexander gave a slight nod. “That's kind of you, Mr. Hayes.” As the two were talking, the phone inFrederick's pocket rang. “Mr. Griffith, I have some business to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. I'llsee you again someday.” “Hope to see you too.” After sending Frederick off,

Elise couldn't help studying Alexander before saying, “I didn't expect you to be so agile, PresidentGriffith.” He was brave enough to jump from the first floor just like that. One floor was at least threemeters high, yet he wasn't afraid of injuring his legs. Coming back to his senses, he answered, “Atthat moment, I didn't think much about it and just jumped!

Let's go back and continue eating our casseroles.” Elise withdrew her gaze and followed Alexanderback upstairs to continue eating. When the two of them had had their fill, they left the restaurant.To their surprise, as soon as they walked out, they were surrounded by a group of tan-skinnedforeigners. What was more surprising was that the leader was the foreigner who had just escaped!
