After Klein stopped the guards who were trying to approach, behind the bar, Lin Ruo also finished dealing with the bartender, Lier.
He used [Fallacy · Mental Distortion] to subtly issue an order to the bartender, Lier, to end his life tomorrow night, and then he crippled his third leg—the main reason for not killing him on the spot was to take into account that Tiana Port was located on the shipping lane from Pritz Port to Bayam, the City of Generosity, and the official forces were not too weak.
Killing someone in public would easily lead to the intervention of the official forces before "Bull" Haisey arrived.
Although it wouldn't be difficult to solve even then, after all, even without mentioning their strength, they were all proper members of the official forces, but it was still not ideal.
Afterwards, Lin Ruo supported himself with one hand and jumped out of the bar, saying to Klein, "Gehrman, the matter is settled, let's go back to the Sea Breeze Hotel!"
The voice was not concealed at all, allowing the adventurers and pirates next to them to hear it clearly.
Adventurers and pirates: …
It seems he really is a pure newbie, directly exposing his address, is that okay!
And the Sea Breeze Hotel… isn't that "Bull" Haisey's property?
And the bartender, Lier, is rumored to have some connection with "Bull" Haisey… hiss!
Some people who knew that "Bull" Haisey was currently in Tiana Port immediately felt that these two people were probably not going to have a good ending.
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, although he didn't know what the Sea Breeze Hotel was, Klein, who knew that even if Lin Ruo was pretending to be a newbie, he wouldn't say these words for no reason, still nodded and said, "Let's go!"
The two of them immediately walked towards the bar door one after the other, and those who were originally blocking their path stepped aside when they saw this, watching the two of them leave and discussing among themselves.
Not long after the two left, "Bull" Haisey, who was enjoying himself in a brothel, also learned of this news.
"You dog × bastards! You dare to touch my people in my territory!"
"Bull" Haisey punched the edge of the bed, making a loud noise, immediately frightening the woman kneeling next to him into silence.
It's no wonder he was so angry, privately, bartender Lier was the brother of one of his favorite lovers, and publicly, bartender Lier was his "Bull" Haisey's informant, and the Shark Bar could also be considered his territory.
As a result, in his territory, his informant had that thing crippled in public, which was no different from directly slapping "Bull" Haisey's face.
"Boss, calm down, they're just two hot-blooded newbies who don't know the rules.
As long as you, Boss, take action, you will definitely be able to easily deal with them."
The lackey who came to report the news immediately said flatteringly.
However, the lackey really thought so in his heart, after all, when dealing with bartender Lier, neither Lin Ruo nor Klein showed anything too extraordinary.
Even those who watched the whole process only concluded that the arrogant newbie might be good at fighting, and that the adventurer who was gentle on the surface but actually a Lunatic was a good shot.
This is indeed a relatively prominent advantage, but the lackey had seen "Bull" Haisey take action, and he knew how powerful his boss was, so he naturally blindly believed in his boss's strength.
"That's for sure, just two newbies, I can easily crush them to death." "Bull" Haisey obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with what the lackey said.
He snorted and said, "Where are they now?"
"Sea Breeze Hotel, someone saw them check in," the lackey immediately replied.
"Heh!" Hearing this, "Bull" Haisey immediately sneered, because the Sea Breeze Hotel was really his property.
If these two people had directly escaped by boat, or checked into some other place, it might have been a little troublesome, but checking into his place made it much easier to take action.
But… "Are you sure they are two newbies? How could they coincidentally check into the Sea Breeze Hotel?" "Bull" Haisey confirmed.
As someone who could make a name for himself at sea and lead a pirate ship, even if it was just a small pirate, "Bull" Haisey was naturally not completely brainless.
At this moment, hearing that these two newbies first beat his people in his territory, and then checked into his place, he couldn't help but have some doubts.
"Boss, they are definitely two newbies, the one with good marksmanship might be a veteran bounty hunter or something, but the one who crippled Lier must be a pure newbie, just a little better at fighting," the lackey quickly replied.
"Moreover, they are pure outsiders, and probably don't know that the Sea Breeze Hotel is our property."
"That's right, if someone really wanted to set up a trap, they shouldn't make such an obvious trap." "Bull" Haisey nodded, his doubts lessened a lot, and he said viciously:
"They really are two guys looking for death!"
…
Sea Breeze Hotel.
"Get ready, I reckon "Bull" Haisey's people should be coming over soon." When Lin Ruo said this, he put down the newspaper in his hand and asked with a smile, "Are you nervous?"
Klein shook his head, and then, thinking of something, couldn't help but complain: "Beating his people in "Bull" Haisey's place, and finally checking into his property… isn't that too obvious?"
"Calm down, it doesn't matter whether it's obvious or not, they'll definitely come anyway," Lin Ruo waved his hand and said:
"Besides, if I don't do this, how can I highlight my newbie persona?"
After a pause, he added:
"You don't have to worry about implicating the innocents in the hotel, since "Bull" Haisey can open a hotel and a bar here, he must have reached a certain tacit understanding with the navy, and won't harm innocent people casually."
Of course, there was one sentence that Lin Ruo didn't say, and that was that if "Bull" Haisey really didn't care about the rules and didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, he would also take action—with his current strength, even without using Fallacy, he could easily protect the ordinary people affected by "Bull" Haisey and his subordinates.
As for whether this would collapse his newbie persona—as long as he killed "Bull" Haisey and his subordinates, and then hypnotized the protected people to make them forget about it, wouldn't that be fine?
As long as he wasn't exposed in public, Lin Ruo could pretend that nothing had happened and continue to maintain his newbie persona.
Klein nodded, indicating that he understood, while Lin Ruo continued to read the newspaper in his hand—I have to say, there were quite a lot of gossip about famous pirates on it, which was quite interesting to read.
After the room was quiet for a while, the two of them suddenly paused at the same time, and then a knock on the door rang.
Lin Ruo glanced at Klein, winked at him, meaning "I told you they'd be here soon", and then said with a smile: "Gehrman, it seems someone is knocking on the door, I don't really want to move, go open the door!"
