-246- Shut up, Graves

//// someone pointed out that it's Rafen not Raven, my mistake, but I'm too lazy to go back and change it....////

"Do you know me?"

Sarah walked up to Linwin, raised her hand, and as soon as Rafen bent down and reached out, Sarah placed her twin pistols in Raven's hands.

"The Enforcer Captain and Twisted have told me about you," Linwin turned to look at the woman who had come and sat on the wooden bench in front of him.

As the pirate captain, Miss Fortune's movement of sitting down was very elegant, with her hands placed in front of her before sitting down.

Linwin: "."

You're dressed like that, do you even need to sit so elegantly?

Besides!

I, Linwin, am a gentleman.

It's not like I'm peeking at you or something! Really!!!

Linwin wanted to make a comment, but in the end, he just shrugged habitually.

Quite helpless, really quite helpless.

Sarah nodded, flirtatiously flicked her hair aside, revealing her entire face, "But I don't like Twisted, he's always trying to outsmart me."

If Powder's beauty was youthful and adorable, and Kai'Sa's beauty was pure yet stunning, then the beauty of the woman in front of Linwin was the most provocative to men, it was truly tempting.

It was a kind of beauty that could arouse primal desires in men.

The kind of beauty that stirred men's desire to conquer.

"You don't seem as terrifying as Graves described, you look like," Sarah raised her head and thought for a moment, smiling as she showed her teeth, "just an ordinary man, there are plenty of people like you on this island."

"Do you know? Graves described you as a mountain-moving, three-meter-tall, infinitely strong monster. He said you could easily repel the waves of sea monsters and drive away the black mist of the harrowing."

Linwin frowned when he heard the words "Harrowing".

He didn't come to Bilgewater to deal with the harrowing, that thing could be left to the Tentacle Mom(a.k.a Illaoi) to handle, he had no intention of getting involved in Bilgewater's affairs.

"But you haven't disappointed me. At least you look much better than those guys," Miss Fortune said with a smile.

"Is that a compliment?" Linwin asked Sarah strangely.

Handsome? Looking at Jayce's face every day, Linwin found it hard to feel handsome.

Jayce was tall, rich, and handsome. The most annoying thing was that Jayce's handsomeness was something even men had to admit.

Next to them, the bartender, trembling, brought a glass of wine for Sarah. Sarah reached out and picked up the glass from the tray, then took a sip from the glass and nodded to Linwin, saying, "Of course, because appearance is also a weapon."

"For women, yes, but for men too."

"Then your weapon is really good." Linwin replied immediately.

"Thank you for the compliment." Sarah smiled, this time it was a real smile, with a curve at the corner of her mouth. She continued, "Graves and I talked about your purpose."

"He told you everything?"

"No, as I just said, although I and him, and Twisted, are in a cooperative relationship, our relationship is not as good as everyone thinks." Sarah looked at Linwin and continued, "After hearing your name from Graves, I wanted to meet you, Mr. Linwin."

"I've always wanted to trade with the people of twin cities, not with that.... Thug."

"Um, can I have a glass of dark rye, with ice." Linwin suddenly spoke to the bartender nearby.

"Yes, coming right up."

"Shouldn't we wait for Graves and Twisted to arrive before we talk?"

"Tsk."

Sarah, who had been smiling at Linwin all along, suddenly spat.

Linwin: "..."

"It seems like you're quite dull." Seeing Linwin's clear eyes, Sarah rolled her eyes speechlessly, then she forcefully "smashed" the glass onto the counter, as if venting her anger.

"They'll be here soon, I've already had them notified before I came."

The bartender nearby heard this and proudly puffed up his chest.

Captain Sarah was indeed everywhere!

As Sarah said, Graves and Twisted arrived soon after.

After a long time apart, Linwin was delighted to see Graves.

His beard was carefully trimmed, and even his eyebrows were neatly trimmed, and his dress was clean and tidy.

Graves was wearing the Enforcer's uniform, with blue and white clothes on him, matched with the Hextech Gun he was carrying—New Destiny.

Graves looked really dashing.

Hm, it's like the Outlaw skin with a bit of Hextech style?

"Linwin!"

Grinning broadly, he walked up, followed by Twisted Fate and an Enforcer.

And soon after, Enforcer Captain Jack, who had always been by Graves's side, ran to Linwin's side and bowed, "Enforcer Junior Captain, Number 0029, Jack, it's an honor to meet you sir!"

"Don't worry about it," Linwin immediately waved his hand.

Meanwhile, Sarah was drinking her wine, her fiery red curls covering her face, but she was secretly observing the interaction among the group.

Seeing Enforcer Captain Jack bowing to Linwin with a respectful expression on his face, Sarah was somewhat surprised.

Sarah had often seen this man giving Graves a hard time, and there were frequent arguments between him and Graves. But now, he was showing such deference to this man?

After all, based on Graves's description of Linwin, Sarah knew who he was, but she didn't know his identity in the twin cities. And now, judging from Jack's attitude, it was quite interesting.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's talk business."

Seeing that Graves and Twisted were also present, Linwin asked Sarah.

"Of course," Sarah nodded.

"Why are you talking to this woman? What can't you just tell me?" Graves blew his mustache while speaking.

Twisted Fate listened from behind, wearing a helpless expression on his face.

Graves and Sarah didn't get along. When Gangplank was still around, they could cooperate well, but after Gangplank's disappearance, Graves and Sarah started quarreling.

Graves didn't approve of Sarah's identity. He thought she looked pretty but wasn't a good person.

And Sarah looked down on Graves too, thinking that this silly guy, despite his high status, could be captured and sold for a good price.

Most importantly, Graves wanted to be the boss of Bilgewater, but similarly, Sarah wanted to be the boss too. If it weren't for the twin cities policies restraining Graves, given his character, he would have resorted to drastic measures. He didn't care about beauty, so naturally, he would stab Sarah in the back and take her down. He could really do such a thing.

He and his good buddy Twisted Fate weren't good people either. Two people who lived by robbing, cheating, and deceiving others, what morality could they have?

"Graves," seeing Sarah's displeasure, Linwin immediately spoke to stop Graves.

But Graves continued loudly, "Let me tell you, Linwin, this woman is not a good person. Don't be fooled by her looks, she's got a lot of evil tricks up her sleeve! If it weren't for Jack and the Enforcers, this woman would have made a move on me."

"Graves!" Linwin's tone became heavier.

"I'm just saying what..."

"That's quite eough." Linwin sighed.

It was a bit difficult to expect his good buddy to shut up.

Linwin's favorability rating from Graves was already maxed out, but Twisted Fate's was still not obtained.

If Graves was a bear, then Twisted Fate was a fox.

A cunning fox wasn't so easy to trust others, after all, Twisted Fate was someone who could betray even Graves.

Sarah blinked beside them.

She only saw the skinny youth extend his hand and then gently close it, and Graves's eyes widened, his mouth shut.

Magic? Could it be that what Graves said was true?

"Let's continue our discussion, Sarah. I have a lot of things to talk to you about."

Grabbing Graves and pressing him onto a nearby chair, Linwin gave him a stern glare, warned him, and then released the wind magic restraint on Graves.

"Linwin, you little brat, how dare you...."

"Mff!! M mfttt!!!" Graves glared angrily at Linwin.

I've done so much for you, and now I kindly tell you that this woman is not to be messed with, but... how could you do this to me!?

Is every man in this world except me, Graves, immune to the charms of beauty?

"Alright, just shut up," Linwin sighed, then looked at Twisted Fate. "You can speak in his place."

Twisted Fate nodded with a smirk. "No problem."

Excitement flashed in Sarah's beautiful eyes as she stared intently at Linwin's face.

Indeed, it's magic!
