After a long absence of tenderness, Jonas departed from the Weiting Hospital in the Erlis District. As he and Selene had discussed, he had no intention of divulging the matter concerning Selene to Miss Esni.
The situation was too intricate, and even if Esni were to be informed, it would only burden her unnecessarily. After all, Jonas could not reveal to the girl what would happen in the future. Instead of placing hope on others, it was better to wait for the dust to settle before explaining.
Receiving this unexpected news just before the commencement of the plan for new employees was as surprising as a casual attempt at a tenfold lottery draw, resulting directly in the acquisition of the most dominant T0 character in the version.
In the private carriage, Miss Eiffel sat in the driver's seat, seemingly having waited for Jonas for quite some time. Meanwhile, in the back seat, Elise sat obediently, her petite figure resembling that of a young daughter on a family trip.
Upon noticing Jonas's arrival, Eiffel spoke somewhat irritably, "Mr. Jonas, could you explain why it took you a full three hours to talk to Miss Selene?" It was apparent that Miss Eiffel had guessed something, yet she did not elaborate... after all, such matters sounded absurd, but they were quite common when it came to Jonas.
Instead of answering, Jonas closed the car door after taking the passenger seat and smiled before saying, "If Miss Eiffel is curious, I can talk to you alone next time about these matters." Hearing this, Eiffel's face reddened, and she inwardly cursed before stealing a glance at Elise's expression in the rearview mirror.
The girl's gaze was pure, blinking innocently upon hearing their conversation, appearing to understand nothing. Sensing Elise's gaze, Eiffel could only temporarily avoid the topic. For some reason, the girl's pure gaze always made her feel a sense of guilt when discussing such matters... but upon second thought, it felt somewhat incongruous.
Eiffel was well aware of what had transpired between Jonas and Elise. In other words, this seemingly innocent girl was actually more experienced than her senior. Perhaps the girl's innocent appearance led Eiffel to a misconception. In a sense, Miss Eiffel was the one with virtually no experience, utterly inadequate compared to Elise.
Reflecting on her instinctive attempt to evade the topic, not wanting to disturb the girl's pure mind, yet realizing that the other party's experience had long overshadowed her own, Eiffel couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
She blushed and turned her head, trying to conceal her embarrassment through silence. Meanwhile, Jonas, seemingly oblivious, leaned back in the passenger seat and stretched before asking, "Miss Eiffel, are we not setting off? The Fidel District is quite a distance away, and if we delay further, we may not arrive at our destination until nightfall."
——You're the one causing the most delay anyway. Eiffel inwardly rebuked but refrained from voicing it, only giving Jonas a displeased glance to express her dissatisfaction.
........
The Fidel District. Here, firearms and ammunition abound... but limited to kinetic rifles only. As one of the border districts of the 25th district, the economy of the Fidel District cannot be considered prosperous, but neither can it be deemed backward.
However, influenced by the environment, the people here are very simple, yet the crime rate is also very high. Because it is easy to buy the previous generation of kinetic rifles eliminated by the conglomerates here, the gangs here are also rampant.
There are often large-scale fights between blocks and blocks, and because this is the border of the 25th district, the peacekeeping forces are not very willing to clean up the mess here.
Over time, this has become a chaotic area where nobody cares: neither the people, nor the officials, nor the conglomerates.
But this has also attracted many gang members who couldn't make it in their original areas to come here and develop.
The conflicts between gangs, the aggregation of violence and crime, have become the main theme of this area.
So how do the residents here tolerate the high crime rate? On the one hand, residents living here have no extra credit points to move to other areas. After all, no matter what, this is a second-level area. As residents of a second-level area, if they move to a third-level or impoverished area, this behavior is undoubtedly a downgrade, something they would never do.
Compared to the housing prices in other second-level areas, the Fidel District is obviously more affordable... Even if the residents who have settled in the Fidel District sell their properties, they may not be able to purchase houses in other second-level areas, let alone the fact that selling houses in the Fidel District is a problem.
This has also led to an awkward situation in the Fidel District: they want to escape, but they can't. Even the conglomerates look down on this place, let alone others.
Only a small number of newcomers flow in, which is also one of the main reasons for the high crime rate in the Fidel District.
But fortunately, the people here are relatively simple. All residents living in the Fidel District will carry a gun with them. On the one hand, they can protect themselves when crimes occur, and on the other hand, they have an additional means of insurance when they are short of money.
Ahem, it seems a bit like a joke from hell.
The gang culture in the Fidel District is flourishing, and of course, there are accompanying industries.
That is the red-light district.
The Aphrodite district, this is a well-known red-light district in the entire 25th district, and many people come here every year to experience this so-called street of the god of love.
The prosperity here is no less than that of other second-level areas. Such abnormal environments often abound with the desires of revelry, accompanied by desires for extravagance and indulgence.
Eiffel followed Jonas, furrowing her brows as she surveyed the surroundings. This was not her first time in the red-light district. If she remembered correctly, the first time she learned about such a place was from Jonas's words...
——Next, I'll take you to experience the world of adults.
And this time, Jonas's words were even more direct.
"We're going to the red-light district."
