Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 174 We can make a hefty profit off him no matter what kind of money it is.

“They have a problem?”

Zheko looked at Scarlett and only asked his question when they reached a sparsely populated area.

Scarlett put the 100,000 star coins into her bag and patted the bulging bag. "It should be. The person you found was sent by her."

Zheko glanced back at the recycling shop, which was now quite far away. "A wanted criminal?"

Scarlett hesitated and said, "Not necessarily. They might be after the ore I have and want to steal it from me behind my back."

The word "rob" triggered Zheko's guard. His eyes suddenly hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll go kill her."

Upon hearing this, Scarlett's eyes widened suddenly. Intending to tease him, she took two steps back in fear and said timidly, "Zheko, you're so fierce. I'm scared."

Zheko frowned, his expression turning grim. "Scarlett, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried they might harm you."

He looked anxiously at Scarlett and explained, "Don't be afraid of me, I won't hurt you."

Scarlett chuckled, her smile radiant. "So you can talk so much! I thought you could only utter one word at a time."

Zheko was stunned.

He realized Scarlett was teasing him.

He wasn't angry; instead, he was reflecting on his actions.

Does Scarlett like me to talk more?
Before he could react, Scarlett tugged at his arm and led him into Lanxi Street, which was next to Langton Street. "Zheko, you weren't fierce at all just now, you were very cool. If they really are bad guys, don't hold back, do what you want, I won't be afraid."

Zheko nodded emphatically, hummed in agreement, and added at the end, "Okay, I will."

I will protect you.

……

……

Like Landon Street, Lanxi Street was a commercial street, and they were originally on par. However, after Murdoch bought Landon Street, business on Lanxi Street plummeted and became much worse than before.

Most of the shops on Lanxi Street have closed down, with only a small number still operating.

Scarlett scanned the shops with "Prime Location for Sale" signs one by one, and immediately spotted a mineral specialty store.

She walked over and knocked on the roller shutter door.

……

……

Scarlett bought a mineral shop.

When the family heard the news, they looked at her incredulously.

"Scarlett, ore requires resources. How can you open a shop without resources?"

Brian wailed, "Besides, even if we have resources, it's not true that we don't know how to mine. Mining is a long-term project, 120 days is far from enough. Are you planning to stay here indefinitely?"

Ashley had witnessed Scarlett mining for ore, and although he didn't understand it either, he didn't say anything and continued cutting fruit.

The fruit that Mennie bought was very fresh, and she saved a lot for them.

Chi Ye excitedly raised his eyebrows, finally getting to a topic he knew about. He gave Brian a pretentious glare, "We kept all of Scarlett's ore from the last phase, more than enough to open a shop."

"Really?"

Brian's sorrow turned to joy.

Scarlett hummed in agreement and nodded. "Otherwise, how would I have the money to support you? You should thank me for having the foresight not to just throw those ores away."

"Okay, thanks." Brian moved his lips slightly.

Scarlett smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and handed the remaining deeds to the others.

"This is the theater I bought."

"This is the club I bought."

"This is the tavern I bought."

Tyronn also has one.

"This is the coffee shop I bought."

"So many?" Holst was slightly surprised.

"They were cheap, so I bought them all."

Scarlett shrugged.

These shops are all ready-made; they don't need renovation, and they can open for business as soon as they open.

When the shop owners saw that someone was willing to take over, they almost knelt down before Scarlett on the spot, fearing that she would change her mind. They offered an additional 20% discount on top of their already "fire sale."

After handing over the house deed, he immediately took his family to Dongshan, the neighboring town, to start anew.

Riley was both amused and exasperated. "We've never done business before, we're just afraid of these things..."

Mo Ting confidently raised his chin, "No problem!"

Riley: "..."

Scarlett said, "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. You can just focus on being the bosses."

Scarlett explained her business empire: "Each store has its own owner, and from one end of the street to the other, it's all our own people. Customers can't run away even if they want to, and we can make a killing off them!"

Scarlett clenched her fist, full of vigor and ambition, looking out at the blue sky and dreaming of the happiness buried by money.

Zheko calmly said, "Scarlett, we're not running a shady business."

Scarlett paused, then realized, "Oh right, we're not running a shady business." Everyone: "..."

Scarlett put aside her hopes for the future and said, "You guys go and clean these places these next few days, and we'll open for business in a few days."

"how about you?"

"I'm going to drum up business."

……

……

"You want to discuss business with me?"

Scarlett rode her newly bought bicycle and arrived at the Time Inn an hour before it opened.

Scarlett looked at Aphrodite and chuckled, "That's right, I want to talk business with you. I'd like to know where you get your liquor from. I'd like to buy some to open a tavern. If you don't mind, you could also recommend a few bartenders to me."

Iveney paused for a moment, feeling that Scarlett's behavior was a bit excessive; she wished she could pack her up and throw her out.

She patiently took a drag of her cigarette, exhaled calmly, and said, "Why should I tell you?"

Scarlett glanced at the ring not far away. "Ever since I defeated Bronn, your business hasn't been doing so well, has it?"

Ivene stared at her expressionlessly.

Any tavern can be run, but without a unique feature, it will soon be eliminated.

The pub's boxing matches are a major feature, offering not only a feast for the eyes with muscular males but also the opportunity to place bets on who will win.

The reward for winning is substantial.

Even if you lose, there's a male loser who can step down and offer some consolation.

No loss whatsoever.

But that day, Scarlett won.

They won against Bloom by a huge margin.

Everyone present bet on Bloom to win, and they all lost miserably.

This led everyone to believe that Brom had thrown the fight.

In order to make money, her boss deliberately hired a female boxer to confuse the public.

Just two days.

The tavern's business and reputation plummeted.

She has to roll her own cigarettes now, which is really annoying.

Hearing Scarlett ask that question only made him more annoyed. He rubbed his temples and glared at her irritably. "My family's business is none of your concern."

Aphne stood up, gave her bodyguard a look, and was about to shoo him away.

Scarlett stood up as well.

"Sister, what if it's like this? I'll open a tavern, and you can be the owner. I'll only take a 10% cut of the profits, and the rest will be yours."

……

……

When Vivian saw Scarlett looking worried and sighing, she grabbed Scarlett's hand, pointed to her ultra-luxurious club, and said, "Sister, I've thought about it for two days, but I still can't tear this place down."

“Look at this pillar, this wall, this staircase.”

“If my sister demolishes it, we won’t have the money to build a new one.”

"Please help your sister think of another way, no matter how much it costs."

Scarlett pretended to calculate with her fingers, "Sister, I've done the calculations for you. This year is unlucky for you. Small things are better than big things, movement is better than stillness, and wood is better than water."

Vivian was completely confused. "What do you mean?"

Scarlett smiled ingratiatingly, "That means this spot isn't good for you. I chose another spot, one that's better for you, sister."

Vivian narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

She wasn't stupid; she quickly understood the hidden meaning in Scarlett's words.

Scarlett held up one finger. "Sister, I've taken over the club next door and I'd like you to be the owner. I only want a 10% cut of the profits; the rest is yours. I guarantee you'll make it a huge success there!"

"is it?"

……

……

Scarlett walked out of the Vienna Club, her back soaked with sweat.

She exhaled a breath of stale air, gazing at the people coming and going on the street, wondering what to do next, when a familiar figure caught her eye.

Across the long street, he glanced at her, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes curved slightly, and his rosy lips made a mouth shape.

Let's talk.

Scarlett looked over with an innocent expression.

But in his heart he thought: See, I've been tricked.
