With a “swoosh,” Number 1 directly pulled out the dagger that Finn Lewis had just placed on Newman Tims’s collar next to his neck and held it less than a centimeter from Newman’s eyes, causing Newman to freeze in terror and immediately stop shouting.
“No, no!
You’re right, Young Master, you’re totally right.
I’ll have someone prepare it right this moment, right now.
Within one hour, the silver will be here for sure,” Moore Tims said hastily, and then quickly instructed his adviser at his side, who promptly turned and rode away on horseback from the scene.
Finn Lewis sat back down and glanced at the little girl hiding behind him; she was already trembling with fear, and now she didn’t even dare to speak.
“You must be hungry, right?” Finn Lewis looked at the little girl and was reminded of the young Zoe.
...
They were roughly the same age, but this little girl seemed to be in an even more pitiful state, so he gently asked.
“Young…
Young Master…
I…
I’m not hungry,” the little girl stuttered, her face full of fear.
“Don’t be afraid.
With me here, no one can hurt you.
Tell me, what’s your name?” Finn Lewis said with a smile.
“I, I’m called Grace Harvey,” the little girl hesitated, then overwhelmed by fear, she answered Finn Lewis’s question in a low voice.
Grace Harvey?
Finn Lewis looked at the little girl in surprise.
Names in this era weren’t easily given, especially for girls.
If she were from a common family, it would be impossible for her to have such a name, and a little beggar would be even less likely to possess it.
From the name alone, it was clear that the background of this little girl was far from ordinary.
“Let’s do this, I’ll call you Jade.
You must be hungry.
Go get something to eat,” Finn Lewis said again.
“Yes, Young Master.” It was the same T800 as before, who immediately turned and walked towards the nearest restaurant, thoroughly ignoring the Qing soldiers assigned to protect them.
They didn’t dare intervene, since Newman Tims was still in their custody.
At this moment, Newman Tims was devoid of his previous arrogance, reduced to a snivelling mess.
T800 was quick to leave and equally quick to return; in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, T800 came back with several servers from the restaurant heading this way.
Soon, the table in front of Finn Lewis was filled with a full spread of the restaurant’s best dishes.
Finn Lewis shook the pouch in his hand, pouring out the silver coins without counting them, and tossed them over.
The servers didn’t dare to waste words.
After catching the silver, they swiftly turned and left.
Finn Lewis looked at Grace Harvey standing beside him and said with a smile, “Hungry, aren’t you?
Eat up, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Looking at the tempting spread on the table, Grace Harvey swallowed her saliva but still struggled to shake her head.
“Don’t be afraid, it’s okay, just eat.

If you don’t eat, I might get upset, and if I get upset, I might just hand you over to those beasts over there,” Finn Lewis said nonchalantly, pointing to Moore Tims.
“You heard what those people said just now, claiming the silver was stolen by you and that they would beat you to death and throw your body into the sea for the fish.”
Finn Lewis pointed at Moore Tims across from them without concern, causing everyone around to twitch at the corners of their mouths.
Insulting a dignitary to their face and calling them no better than beasts in the middle of the street were feats that probably only the formidable man known as Number 1 here could achieve; they had never seen anyone else do something like this.
