Chapter 1239: Chapter 1233: Extra Story – Righting Wrongs 10_1 Chapter 1239 -1233: Extra Story – Righting Wrongs 10_1 Grace Harvey’s body shuddered slightly, and then with red-rimmed eyes, she sat down next to the table.
She reached for the chopsticks and picked up the beef closest to her, stuffing it into her mouth without even chewing a few times before shoving another bite in as if her life depended on it.
Seeing the young girl looking so scared, Finn Lewis wished he could slap himself.
He had forgotten that this was not the modern era.
In this time, people like Grace were facing individuals like Moore Tims across the table, who could dictate life and death over them.
Forcing her was practically no different from sending her to her death.
Although she was young, she clearly understood these realities.
...
“Don’t rush, don’t rush, eat slowly, just like you would normally,” Finn Lewis hurriedly said, immediately pouring her a bowl of tea.
After hearing Finn’s words, the young girl finally slowed down her eating pace, but she still didn’t dare to eat freely, choosing whatever dish was closest to her.
Seeing her in that state, Finn Lewis could only helplessly pick up his chopsticks and serve her the dishes from afar, filling her bowl and then watching her eat.
Thus, a bizarre scene appeared on the streets of Liberty City: a table was set up in the middle of the street where a richly dressed young master was seated next to a beggar girl, and he was continuously piling food into the girl’s bowl.
Meanwhile, a few hundred people had gathered around them, encircled by crowds of onlookers.
Among the spectators, some were already aware of the sequence of events, and quickly the story spread, likely reaching beyond those who were there to watch.
Though Grace Harvey was starving, how much could a young girl like her eat?
Soon she felt full.
Seeing that she had eaten almost enough, Finn Lewis called a halt.
He was worried that she hadn’t had a proper meal for a long time and didn’t want her to get sick.
In this era, if she did get sick, there was really no way to help her.
The time span of an hour wasn’t particularly long, but neither was it short, as one hour in this era equated to the modern two hours.
Fortunately, blocking a road during this time caused no issues, and moreover, Finn Lewis had eaten with justification.
After watching Grace Harvey finish her meal, he took out his mobile phone to have a “friendly” exchange with Zero.
Finn had to check his resources, after all.
Since Zero was willing to fulfill any condition, it was simply a matter of how many points would be spent.
Having around 20,000 points in his possession was more than enough for spending extravagantly like this, and it would cost him far less to deal with the current situation than it would in the modern era.
As for the people around, they had no idea what was in Finn’s hand.
Although Grace Harvey saw it, and Finn didn’t hide it from her, the girl had no idea what he was holding.

Curiously, she imagined it to be some sort of magical item.
Yet because of her young age, she wasn’t overly astonished and managed not to shout out in surprise.
Finally, when the time was almost up, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
Soon, more than thirty horse-drawn carriages carrying huge boxes approached, led by the steward.
Two million yuan of silver weighed only about 75 tons, and a cubic meter of silver ingots was slightly more than 10 tons, almost 11 tons.
Therefore, two million yuan of silver, even if calculated using the current silver ingots, was only about thirteen to fourteen cubic meters.
More than thirty carriages were more than enough for the transport.
“Young Master, the silver has been brought here.
Can you release the young master now?” Moore Tims’ attitude was very humble.
Regardless of Finn being in his control, he wanted to first secure his son’s release.
