“I just want to get some insurance,” Dutch said. “Please help me out.”
“Okay.” Balalaika exhaled a puff of smoke. “Is the reply sent to your office?”
“No, let’s go to the usual place, Yellow Flag Bar,” Dutch said. “We can talk while we drink.”
“Okay.” Balalaika nodded.
After hanging up the radio, Dutch turned to Shen Ye: "Before that, Shen, could you tell me about the Labres family? Or, as that little boy said, will they send a mercenary force to rescue him?"
“Probably not.” Locke interjected, “As far as I know, the Labras family has declined and is in poor financial condition, to the point that they can only afford to hire one servant.”
"A servant? What kind?" Dutch, always cautious, asked.
"An ordinary housekeeper." Locke answered with certainty, though he didn't know where he'd gotten that information from.
"A maid?" Levi yawned and teased, "Is the maid going to brave the lion's den to win back the young master? That would be very interesting."
“That’s really interesting, Levi. Maybe it’s true, just like you said, that the maid has transformed into a Valkyrie to rescue her young master,” Shen Ye chimed in from the side.
“If that’s the case, I’ll be really looking forward to seeing that,” Revy said coldly.
……
Port of Roanapur.
As the sun set, a young woman dressed as a maid, wearing round-framed glasses, disembarked from a cargo ship. She placed her suitcase at her feet, gripped an umbrella tightly in both hands, and glanced around expressionlessly.
"Is this Roanapura, the land of sin?"
After coldly uttering those words, she picked up her suitcase, turned her back to the setting sun, and walked into the city.
The maid would stop and ask passersby for directions every time she walked down a street.
"Hello, I am a maid from South America, all alone and without any support. May I ask where I can find a place where people from my country gather?"
But most people are too lazy to answer, and when someone does answer, it's mostly useless information.
As night fell, the maid finally ventured into Roanapura, where she received a useful answer.
“Miss Maid, if you want to know some information about your countrymen, you should go to that place.”
"where?"
"Yellow Flag Bar".
……
"Ah, my dear Mother Earth, I have returned to your embrace once again."
As Shen Ye disembarked from the torpedo boat, he opened his arms and shouted loudly.
He clearly preferred the feeling of being grounded to life at sea.
"Hurry up, you little brat."
Behind her, Levi nudged the somewhat slow-moving little boy, Garcia.
The little boy glared at her resentfully, but was pushed by Levi again, so he had no choice but to pout and run to Shen Ye's side.
“Levi, this isn’t how an adult should behave.” Dutch couldn’t stand it anymore and frowned, saying, “You were a child once too.”
"Then why don't you find him a nanny?" Revy said unhappily.
Shen Ye shielded the little boy behind him and raised his hand, saying, "Isn't he here?"
"Hmph, have you become so fussy? Or do you want to work as a butler for the Labras family?" Levi was even more annoyed.
“How could that be?” Shen Ye shook his head. “I just felt that there was no need to treat a child like that.”
"What's wrong with the child? Is it that precious?" Levi's eyes dimmed.
Shen Ye knew that Levi's childhood was not pleasant; she grew up in a slum and was abused. After thinking about it, he didn't say anything more.
After waiting at the dock for a while, Benny drove his car over.
"Want to come together, Shen?"
Seeing that Shen Ye had shoved Garcia into the back seat but hadn't gotten in himself, Dutch asked.
"Let's grab a drink at the bar while we're at it."
“Of course, but I have to go get my own car.” Shen Ye shook the car keys in his hand.
Suddenly, Garcia jumped out of the car.
“I want to ride in his car.” He pointed at Shen Ye.
“That won’t do, kid, you’re our cargo,” Revy immediately objected.
But Daqi thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Let him ride in Shen's car."
Levi pursed her lips but said nothing, turning around and getting into the car.
Soon, the two cars headed towards Yellow Flag Bar, the most famous bar in Roanapur.
In the car, Shen Ye observed Garcia through the rearview mirror. The little boy hadn't said a word since getting in the car, his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
"By the way, Garcia, on the ship, I heard you mention someone named Robert. Is she the maid Locke was talking about?" Shen Ye asked.
Garcia nodded: "Yes, but although she's a maid, her housework is terrible."
“But she has a very good temper, much better than that tattooed woman named Levi,” he added.
“Actually, if Revy had had a happy childhood, she would also be a woman with a very good temper,” Shen Ye said slowly.
Garcia looked up at Shen Ye and asked in surprise, "Was her childhood very tragic?"
Shen Ye nodded: "You know the slums, right? That's where she grew up. She was always hungry and cold, and she was often abused. Anyone in that situation would have a bad personality."
To be honest, she's just unhappy with how we treated you. To her, everyone is treated equally, regardless of gender or age.
Chapter 73! A house maid? No, a war maid, Roberta.
(When revising the original manuscript in the previous chapter, I didn't notice that I was still using the American translation of the name. Garcia was changed to Georgia, but it's not a big problem. I'll revise it after the review is over.)
"Oh, I see." Little Garcia suddenly realized, "No wonder she always dislikes me."
He's still just a child, so easy to fool.
Shen Ye glanced at the rearview mirror and chuckled to himself. Although Revy might indeed dislike Garcia because of her childhood experiences, the main reason was her personality; she wouldn't give a friendly look to anyone she disagreed with.
Just like Bennie and Locke, even though they are companions, their words are definitely not as effective as Shen Ye's because they do not have enough strength to convince Levi.
As they spoke, the two cars drove deep into the city and arrived at the neighborhood where the Yellow Flag Bar was located, which was also the most chaotic neighborhood.
Although it's a dark area, the bright lights and bustling activity are quite pleasing to the eye.
The little boy leaned against the window, watching a sight he had never seen before.
"Are these the legendary streetwalkers from the red-light district?"
The little boy blushed and pointed out the window.
Shen Ye quickly turned his head to look in the direction he was pointing, where many scantily clad women were standing.
“Yes,” Shen Ye said deliberately, “Want to try? I can find you a mature older sister at my own expense to help you grow up.”
"No...no need." Garcia quickly waved his hand, then sat up straight and stopped looking out the window.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Yellow Flag Bar.
As he got out of the car, Shen Ye casually drew his pistol, chambered a bullet, and then inserted it into the quick-draw holster on his waist.
The little boy noticed Shen Ye's actions and looked at him with some confusion.
"Just in case, after all, this is a hotspot for gunfights," Shen Ye explained, glancing at the neon sign of the Yellow Flag Bar.
"Then why do we have to come here?" the little boy asked.
“Because it’s exciting enough, kid.” At this moment, Levi, who had just gotten out of the car, walked over and said. She drew her pistol and skillfully twirled it between her fingers: “I really hope there will be some entertainment tonight. It’s been a long time since my Beretta has killed anyone.”
At this point, she looked at the little boy and said, "If your maid also comes, I wouldn't mind using her to break my vows."
The little boy instantly forgot about Revy's tragic childhood and glared at her angrily.
"Alright, just kidding." Levi tucked the pistol back into its holster and shrugged. "I wouldn't do anything to a country girl like that..."
As she spoke, she walked towards the Yellow Flag Bar and pushed the door open with a forceful push.
However, the moment the door was pushed open, a gunshot rang out, followed by a figure leaping into the air and landing right in front of Levi.
"A gunfight broke out as soon as we entered?" Dutch asked as he walked in, looking at the corpses on the ground.
Levi stared intently at the woman in the black and white maid outfit next to the bar, muttering, "Wow, that's really lavish."
“Indeed, she’s undeniably handsome.” Shen Ye looked at the maid carrying a box in one hand and holding what looked like an umbrella but was actually a shotgun in the other, and nodded. “However, her maid outfit doesn’t suit this place. She should be wearing a military uniform.”
"Maid outfit?" Garcia, who had been hiding behind Shen Ye since entering, peeked into the bar after hearing this keyword and exclaimed in surprise, "Roberta!"
Immediately, apart from Shen Ye, all four members of the Black Reef group looked at him in surprise.
"This woman, could she be the maid you mentioned who's in charge of housework?" Locke asked, his eyes wide.
