With a helper who is familiar with the local area, Lorraine can no longer hold back the idea of saving people.

Even if Lake's stupid knife made it difficult for him to even walk, even if he was now unarmed and didn't even have clothes.

Saving people is like fighting fire, he has been in a coma for two days, and if he drags on any longer, Lake will really die.

The scorching midday sun.

Lorraine shuffled, and was helped down the hill by Henna into the harbor area, into a filthy alley.

He waited against the wall, and when he counted to forty-seven, Henna, in her dirty coat, threw in a drunken sailor.

He wears a blue and white striped dirty sweatshirt, loose blue strap-ons underneath, and a blue turban tied around his head.

Lorraine couldn't help but pout: "I don't like blue." ”

"This is land, you don't mix with the sea."

"It seems...... There is some truth to that. ”

The two stripped the sailor clean, and in a few moments Lorraine was the standard forced sailor, walking staggering along the road and looking like a hangover.

The two went their separate ways.

Lorraine walked down the long street and found the sign of "grass-flavored foie gras" by the ruins of reclining oak trees.

Business was not good, and even though it was lunch time, there was not even a single customer to be found.

He gently pushed open the door, took the first position on the left-hand side, and rang the waiter bell on the table.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Mr. Pete, who was in a daze behind the counter, was pleasantly surprised, and rushed to the back kitchen in a few big steps, and soon drove out a blonde woman in her thirties.

The woman wore a maid's outfit that had been cut to cover only key parts, and walked awkwardly and reluctantly.

"Sir, our specialty today is fried foie gras in butter and lettuce salad. Foie gras is fresh, fat and juicy......" Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, struggling to squeeze out a wink smile, "Just like me......"

"I don't like foie gras that is too old."

The woman's face changed: "Sir, please pay attention to ......"

"With what you're wearing, I don't think I need to pay attention to your words." Lorraine flipped through the menu casually, and didn't lift her eyelids, "A salad and a glass of Bordeaux, please wear a little more when serving, thank you." ”

With the chatter and grumbling of the kitchen, salad and red wine were soon brought to Lorraine by the freshly dressed waitress.

Lorraine picked up the fork and took a small bite, smiling and saying, "As my friend told me, you have the freshest lettuce in Black Harbor." ”

"Yes, sir!" The waitress cheered up, "Our lettuce is picked from Plymouth, there is a special shipping channel, and it is fresh the next day!" ”

"Really?" Lorraine took another small bite and pursed her lips with an expression of enjoyment, "Fresh vegetables are always a good companion for sailors." Ma'am, can I thank Mr. Chef in person? ”

For a restaurant that is on the verge of bankruptcy, thanking the chef in person will make them famous and famous, and it's an invitation that Mr. Pitt can't refuse.

Mr. Pete, wearing a chef's hat, quickly stood at Lorraine's table, smiling and serious.

"Sir, I heard Caroline say that you would like to give your valuable opinion on our salads."

"Pretty much......" Lorraine ate her salad to herself, "Ms. Caroline...... It's polite to call Mrs. Pete. ”

Mr. Pitt looked surprised: "Why are you ......?"

"It doesn't matter." Lorraine took a sip of red wine, pushed open the plate and crossed her fingers, "Mrs. Pitt just said that your lettuce is fresh the next day, but as far as I know, because of the wind, it took four days to transport these vegetables to Black Harbor, and by now, it should be six days." ”

He looked up and grinned at Mr. Pete: "My captain told me that reputation is the root of a businessman, and that fraud ...... It's going to break you. ”

Pete finally recognized Lorraine.

His pupils shrank into pinpoint tips, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You...... You're the ......."

"Artis Chamber of Commerce, Lorraine. Drake greetings you. ”

"Aren't you dead? I heard rumors, and rumors said ......"

"Seeing is believing." Lorraine pointed to Pete's eyes and slowly made a picking motion.

Pete was terrified.

He stepped back in terror, dragging Caroline to escape.

But Lorraine said, "If I were you, I would not dare to leave my daughter behind in front of the mob." ”

Pete and Caroline, who had already run to the door, froze.

He turned his head mechanically and looked at Lorraine's back viciously: "You...... What do you want to do! ”

"For the time being, I just want to try the lettuce from my hometown and try the French wines...... Not so good. ”

Lorraine looked at the table clock on the cabinet and said slowly, "I heard that your daughter likes to play the piano on the second floor at six o'clock every night, and it's only one o'clock now...... I sincerely hope that she will miss the time today. ”

Before his words fell, a pleasant piano sound suddenly sounded on the second floor.

The tune is G.B. Martini's famous song "The Joy of Love", but the pianist is a little hasty, and there is not much joy in the melody.

But that's enough.

Lorraine smiled and gestured to please: "Can I invite you and your wife to the table?" Although it is a good meal, there is always a time to pay the bill. ”

More than an hour later, Lorraine, dressed in a new shirt and armed with a slender sword at her waist, drove out of the back door of the restaurant with Henna in a carriage.

Henna frowned and drove: "Why don't you kill them?" ”

"Why kill them?"

"They may inform Thomas and Barry Sr."

"No, it won't." Lorraine leaned lazily in the carriage, playing with a bag of jingling gold pounds, "They're not friends, they're not even partners. In the matter of plotting against the captain, Pete did not get much benefit, in a sense, he was also forced. ”

"You think he's innocent?"

"There is no doubt that he is to blame, at least one of them."

Lorraine laughed playfully: "It's just that for a businessman who has been tormented by bankruptcy for a long time, it is far more cruel to let him really go bankrupt than to kill him." Killing is a good way to solve a problem, but it is not necessarily a good way to get revenge. ”

"So you ransacked him and made him sign an IOU of a hundred pounds that could not be cashed. It's all revenge? ”

"Forty-seven pounds, sixteen shillings, and threepence were the money he paid for the captain's vegetables, and the IOU was revenge...... By the way, do you have any businessmen you know well? For five pounds, I can transfer the IOU. ”

……

Five pounds in exchange for three white slaves and a property that was not too small, a deal that required no skill, and Henna transferred the IOU to old Hanseatic without much difficulty.

As a token of appreciation, Hansa allowed them to stay in the tavern's private room until late at night.

Not only did they enjoy a free dinner, but they also bought a good medicine for three pounds and a few small things that Henna needed.

It only took one afternoon for the refreshing special ointment to soothe Lorraine's wounds. Although it still doesn't use too much force, at least it becomes more vigorous in action, and it looks like it's not much better than a normal person.

This is important to Lorraine.

They were next going to Barry Sr.'s warehouse, and unlike Pete, Barry had ten thugs.

"Ten thugs......" Lorraine muttered to himself, shaking his head, "he only sent eight people when he grabbed the ship, and he didn't expect it...... Our Mr. Barry is still a cautious man. ”

"It's not ...... I'm in trouble......"
