Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 134

After Chandler's reminder, Helen realized she was indeed hungry. She suggested, "I know there's a food street nearby. Let's check it out."

Chandler agreed, and they headed to Aliry's food street, a 20 minute drive away. This landmark commercial street was a hub for dining and shopping.

"What would you like to eat?" Helen asked, recommending several local specialties. "Crystal shrimp dumplings, skewers, hot pot, and barbecue. They are all quite good. Do you want to try them?"

Chandler opted for a hotpot.

Helen hesitated, "Alirian hot pot is known for its spiciness. Can you handle it?"

"Let's give it a try," Chandler said.

Using her phone, Helen found a nearby hot pot restaurant, and they went in. The locals were very welcoming. They led them to a private room upstairs.

"What do you like?" Helen browsed the menu.

Helen listed her preferences. "Beef tripe, shrimp paste, duck intestines, mushrooms..."

Chandler echoed her choices. "Beef tripe, shrimp paste, duck intestines, mushrooms..."

They inadvertently ordered the same dishes, causing Helen to glance at Chandler.

Surprised, he commented, "It seems you and I have similar tastes."

Helen laughed it off. "Indeed, what a coincidence."

Thus, they doubled their order. Helen was a true hot pot enthusiast since childhood. She savored the Alirian hot pot's distinct flavor.

Despite the commotion, the bystanders seemed indifferent. They offered no help.

As the thief approached, Helen stood up but was held back by Chandler. He gave her a look, then swiftly jumped down from the balcony and tackled the thief effortlessly.

The scene unfolded so quickly that Helen was stunned, only to see Chandler easily subdue the approaching thief.

Helen hurried downstairs but was stopped by a waiter. After handing over some money, she was allowed to leave. Outside, Chandler was surrounded by onlookers as he held the thief.

The victim was panting as he cursed at the thief in Cholonese, "You damn thief. How dare you steal from me!"

He showed no mercy and kicked the thief, who clung stubbornly to the stolen wallet.
