In a flash, no one was left standing in the tavern except for Locke, his men and the slightly dazed owner. Only then did Locke slowly walk to the middle-aged man who was leading the group. He stepped on his waist and asked, "Who gave you the courage to rob the Faustian army's money?" All the money earned in the tavern came from the soldiers in the Faustian army. Wasn't this the army's money?
"My Lord, I was wrong. I won't do it again." The middle-aged man was very sensible. He covered his bleeding mouth and bowed to beg for mercy. He didn't dare to explain anything. There was no reason to reason with these fierce Faustian soldiers. Since he had admitted his mistake and taught them a lesson, Locke didn't want to pursue the matter any further. Their battalion was very disciplined under the baron's management. The baron had asked them not to 'excessively' disturb the people, so Locke couldn't just kill all of them.
"Scram!" Locke kicked the submissive middle-aged man, telling him to scram. The middle-aged man panicked and left with his men. The tavern instantly became quiet again. Seeing that the owner was still in a daze, Locke coughed lightly and woke her up.
"My Lord, thank you. I, I … "The Lady Boss suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly thanked him, bewildered. The rudeness of these soldiers had frightened her, and she was still in a state of panic. However, this group of people had helped her, so she hurriedly thanked them.
"It's okay." Locke had a good impression of this beautiful lady boss, which was why he helped her. "Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave." Locke waved his hand and interrupted her, gesturing for his men to leave. The sky was almost completely dark now. The torches in the barracks outside the town had been lit. It seemed that dinner had already started. Locke muttered to himself.
The soldiers in Locke's squad walked out of the tavern and towards the barracks outside the town. Locke was the last to leave. Just as he was about to leave the tavern, he heard a faint cry behind him. Locke turned around and glanced at the lady boss. She was sobbing softly at the front desk of the tavern. Locke couldn't bear to see women cry, especially beautiful women who were older than him. Locke told his men to leave first. He turned around and walked back to the bar counter. He patted the lady boss's shoulder gently. "Don't cry. Tell me what's wrong. I'll help you." Locke comforted her helplessly.
The beautiful boss lowered her head and listened. She cried even louder, leaning on the bar counter and sobbing. Locke was helpless. He had ways to deal with his enemies, especially gangsters, but he had no way to deal with women. Although he wasn't a virgin, he really didn't know how to comfort a woman. Could you expect a young man who had been idling around in the army since he was an adult to comfort a crying woman?
His subordinates were walking further and further away, and they were almost out of sight. These guys were walking so fast that it was obvious that they had bad intentions. In their eyes, after the hero saved the beauty, it was the time for the two to sublimate their relationship. What was the point of them getting involved? Thus, these guys abandoned their boss in the tavern without any sense of loyalty. Locke was very embarrassed at this moment. He didn't know what to do with the mature woman who was ignoring him and burying her head in tears. If he left, it wouldn't be appropriate. She was still crying. If he didn't leave, it wouldn't be appropriate for a man to watch a woman cry. Those who didn't know better would think that he had done something outrageous. Although Locke wasn't a good person, he had never kidnapped a woman.
As time passed, the lady boss's crying gradually stopped, but she would still sob from time to time. She stole a glance at the man who didn't know how to comfort her and just sat there with a stiff face for a long time. She couldn't help but burst into laughter. Only then did she realise that the Faustian officer was actually a young man younger than her. Under Locke's calm and cold appearance, there was actually a slightly youthful nature.
Locke's stiff state was also broken by the laughter. Unlike the formal smile the lady boss gave when she was paying for the wine, this seemingly playful and cute smile made Locke's heart skip a beat. The beautiful lady boss also felt the change in Locke. She blushed and bowed her head to say, "Thank you."
"Oh, it's okay." Locke didn't say goodbye. He was in no hurry to leave now. There was probably no dinner in the camp. As for the night patrol, he wasn't afraid of being alone as he had his subordinates to help him. He couldn't tell what his attitude towards the lady boss was now. Anyway, his intuition told him that he couldn't leave now. The two of them just stared at each other.
Just as the two of them were comparing whose eyes were bigger, Locke revealed an inexplicable smile. The beautiful lady boss was confused by Locke's inexplicable smile. She followed Locke's gaze to the side of the bar and saw a few plain-coloured women's underwear and clothes scattered there. "Ah!" She let out a scream and pounced on the pile of clothes with a red face. She used her upper body to block Locke from continuing to look.
Locke rubbed his ears, which were shaken by Suzanne's scream, and smiled at her. "Don't block it. You've seen it anyway, and..." Just as Locke was about to say something, he suddenly saw the beautiful lady lying on the bar counter. Although her clothes were pressed down by her body, her slightly loose clothes obviously couldn't suppress her voluptuous body. Her breasts were exposed and Locke was so shocked that he forgot what he was going to say and blurted out, "So big."
Suzanne apparently also noticed something. She let out another scream and hurriedly covered her chest with the clothes in her hands, but this exposed her hot underwear to Locke's eyes. At this moment, the shrewd lady boss was like a frightened rabbit. She wanted to cover herself and hide her clothes. She was very cute.
After a period of chaos, the beautiful lady boss finally put away her scattered clothes and tightly covered her chest. Come on, you're not lying on your stomach anymore. Even if you don't cover me, I can't see clearly. Locke complained in his heart. "Since there's nothing else and it's already so late, I'll go back to camp." Locke glanced at the beautiful lady boss and said. He really didn't know what else he could do here.
"Okay... Okay, thank you for today, Lord... "Before the lady boss could finish her words, Locke's stomach growled. Locke was extremely embarrassed. "Lord, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Why don't you eat at my place tonight? " Seeing Locke's embarrassed look, Suzanne's nervousness was diluted a lot. The shrewd lady boss was back and she immediately invited Locke to eat at her place. She felt that she had to suck up to him and thank him for his help today.
"Then... Okay, just make something casual. " Locke thought that there was nothing to eat when he went back now. He could probably only eat wheat cakes or black bread, so he might as well eat something here first. He didn't ask the lady boss to make something casual because he knew the current situation of the civilians in Shalor. Most of them didn't have enough to eat, let alone be picky about what they ate. Even if she ran a tavern, seeing how she was being blackmailed by these local gangsters today, her life wouldn't be much better.
"Okay, I'll do it for you now." Suzanne first walked out of the bar and walked to the entrance of the tavern. She pushed a wooden plank from the side of the tavern door and blocked the entrance. This was considered closing time. Then, she walked to the tavern's kitchen and went to cook for Locke. Locke noticed that the beautiful lady boss's face was flushed when she closed the door. She looked like a beautiful mature woman who was about to have an affair. It was very tempting. She was indeed a mature woman, but she didn't want to have an affair, Locke thought.
