There are indeed ships to Italy that stop at St. Denis, but the most recent one only left yesterday morning, and the next one will not leave until next Saturday, so Jack must still be in Angelo Bronte's hands.

This can be said to be the only good news in today's series of troubles. Thanks to this news, most people in the camp slept well at night.

The next morning, after breakfast, the people who were responsible for the rescue mission set out in twos and threes.

The straight-line distance between Shady Belle and Saint Denis is actually very close, but there is a wide Lanachchee River between the two. If you want to go to Saint Denis from here, you must go north to the three-way intersection near the Caliga Plantation, then turn east and cross a wooden bridge to reach it. If you go at full speed on horseback, it will take less than an hour to reach there, which is quite convenient.

Today, Lin Yan was in a group with Sadie as usual, but before leaving, Kiran found Lin Yan.

"Jamie, can you take me with you? I'm also worried about Jack's safety, and I want to do my part to help Ms. Marston."

Lin Yan also saw Kieran's performance yesterday. Whether it was facing the attack of the Pinkerton detective or following the crowd to Braithwaite Manor, this young man who "rebelled" from the O'Driscoll Gang not only had a sense of belonging and identity with the current gang, but most of the gang members actually recognized this hardworking and brave young man. It is no exaggeration to say that Kieran is now a member of the Van der Linde Gang.

Lin Yan had no objection to Kiran's request, but he was worried that Sadie would not agree.

"Uh..."

Lin Yan subconsciously looked at Sadie, wanting to see what she meant. Unexpectedly, Sadie nodded very happily and directly agreed to Jilan's request.

"Thank you, thank you, Mrs. Adler." Feeling Sadie's friendship, Kiran was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude over and over again.

Sadie felt a little uncomfortable being thanked. She took off her hat, tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears, put her hat back on and said, "Okay, don't waste time, let's get on the road."

After arriving in Saint Denis, Lin Yan did not ask everyone he met if they knew Angelo Bronte, because doing so would not only be inefficient but might also cause unnecessary trouble.

What he did was to find a passerby on the street who was dressed relatively well and looked like a local, and ask him the location of the best tavern in Saint Denis.

The passerby looked at him first, then said without hesitation: "The best tavern has to be the Bastille Tavern, which is just across the park, next to the Quincy Harris statue."

After thanking the kind passerby, Lin Yan took Sadie and Kiran to find the conspicuous statue based on his memory. They also saw the Bastille bar located at the intersection of two roads.

Compared to the taverns in small towns like Valentine or Rhodes, the two-story building in front of Lin Yan, with its luxurious decoration and exquisite materials, is worthy of being the best tavern in the big city of Saint Denis.

"This pub is really exquisite. Even the windows on the door have shutters." Lin Yan pushed the door and walked in while admiring the decoration of the pub to his other two companions.

The moment the door was opened, everyone in the tavern stopped what they were doing at the same time. The music and talking also stopped abruptly, and all eyes were cast at the three strangers standing at the door with scrutiny.

Jilan felt uncomfortable being stared at, and quietly moved behind Lin Yan. Although Lin Yan was also somewhat puzzled by these people's behavior, he had successfully passed the rookie stage, so he raised his head and said nonchalantly: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy before? Keep playing the music, and keep dancing!"

After saying that, he ignored the gazes of others, walked to the bar and asked the bartender for three glasses of whiskey.

The bartender took out three glasses from under the bar and lined them up, then picked up a bottle of wine from behind and said, "Three dollars."

Lin Yan took out four dollars from his space bag and pushed it to him. "Here, this is the money for the drinks. Have a drink for yourself."

"Thank you." The bartender collected the money on the table, but did not pour himself a drink.

After paying, Lin Yan picked up the wine glass and asked the bartender: "I'm looking for an Italian named Angelo Bronte. Do you know where he lives?"

Hearing this name, the bartender looked at him with a wary look. "You're the second customer to ask me this name today. Listen, I don't know what you do, but there are some things you'd better not ask. Knowing too much is not a good thing."

"Finish this cup and leave immediately. You are not welcome here. If you don't leave, I will call the police."

Hearing that the bartender had ordered them to leave, Lin Yan said nothing more. He frowned and drank the wine in the glass, then walked out of the pub with Sadikilan.

Seeing Lin Yan leading his men away, a half-drunk customer standing in the corner of the bar also followed them out.

"Hey! Are you looking for Angelo Blount?" As soon as he walked out of the tavern, the guest stopped Lin Yan and asked.

"What? Do you know him?" Lin Yan replied with interest.

"If the Angelo Blount you're looking for is 'the skinny Italian big shot who chews pasta all day,' oh my god, just the mention of him gives me the creeps."

"What are you talking about? Do you know him?" Sadie said impatiently.

"Of course I know him!" The other person's expression became serious. "I can tell you how to find him, but... you have to at least buy me a couple of drinks..."

"Go ahead." Lin Yan took out two dollars and waved them in front of him.

The drunk grabbed the money from Lin Yan's hand, chuckled twice, then pointed to the tavern behind him and said slowly: "There is a group of homeless vagrants in the alley behind the tavern. They are more familiar with this city than anyone here. Just ask them."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to the pub. Just as his hand touched the door of the pub, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back again and said, "Oh, by the way, since you guys are treating me to a drink, I'll remind you again, keep an eye on your bag and the money in your pocket, these kids like to cheat people, and their hands are not clean."

"Do you think what he said is reliable?" After the drunk man left, Lin Yan asked Sadie and Kiran.

Sadie shook her head. "I think he just wanted a drink from us."

Kieran thought about it carefully and said, "But I think what he said makes sense. In order to survive, the city's street kids do know more than the average person. If that Angelo Bronte is as powerful as the bartender said, they must know where he lives."

After listening to Jilan's analysis, Lin Yan nodded in agreement. "In that case, let's go to the alley and ask those kids."
