After hearing their self-introductions, Laila's face suddenly turned red, and her voice lost its previous ease, and began to return to the hesitant tone it had when she first met them.

Daniel Hawkins smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, you were right when you scolded us just now."

"She didn't scold us, she was obviously scolding you." Jacob Tull laughed loudly: "I can't believe that, my Lord Baron, you are the real culprit that caused her to be sold here."

"To the north, if you hadn't opened a lucky shop, would anyone have gambled? I think those of you who open lucky shops are the worst offenders." Daniel Hawkins scolded and clinked glasses with him.

"Okay, okay, even if I open a lucky shop, it can be regarded as corrupting people's hearts," Jacob Toole said: "But don't you also look at how many lucky shops there are in the country, then my badness will be insignificant. But the champion But there is only one, and then you are..."

"I'm just so bad, right?" Daniel Hawkins replied.

"Yes," Jacob Tull was stunned by the language of his hometown again.

"No, no, no, I didn't. Please don't misunderstand me, sir." Laila said quickly.

"No, I'm not an adult, he is. I'm just your son." Jacob Tull said.

"So you are my son," Daniel Hawkins said.

"You..." Jacob Tull glared at him angrily, and Daniel Hawkins raised his scissor hands at him and said, "Haha, I won."

"Please stop arguing." Laila said, "I said the wrong thing. I will ask Mommy not to take your money when it gets up."

"No money? What will mommy do to you?" Daniel Hawkins asked.

"This...I don't know this, but I'm willing to be punished." Laila said: "However, I would rather wash and cook for them, or even pour swill, than sell my body. "Book of the Ancient Gods" I have said that Mei Niang will be corrupted and will go to hell, but I don’t want to go to hell.”

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to read." Jacob Tull put a piece of dried meat into his mouth.

At this time, the three of them had spread all the bedding and pillows on the bed on the floor. Jacob Tull no longer held his posture, but lay on the floor with his hands on the pillow and his legs crossed. He would get up from time to time to drink and eat. Slices of meat. Although Daniel Hawkins was not as respectful and polite to him as others, he quite liked it.

Laila hugged the pillow. She was quite good at drinking. She drank three large glasses of dark beer without realizing it and ate a lot of dried meat. This was the best she had eaten in the past two days. Seeing her nodding, she said proudly: "Yes, I taught myself. When I was a child, I would go to church with my mother every week. At that time, my mother was illiterate, but the clergy in the church were very enthusiastic. As long as you asked them about the "Book of Ancient Gods", they would always answer you, and they would take the trouble to read it, and I would learn it. All the words. And those words are completely enough for running a tavern.”

Daniel Hawkins nodded, and after listening to Lila's words, he couldn't help but start to lower his head and think.

"What the hell are you thinking about?" Jacob Tull threw a peanut shell at him.

"Jacob, I was thinking, how about we ransom her." Daniel Hawkins said.

When Laila heard this, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her whole body froze completely. Her eyes were as big as bells, and she couldn't believe what she heard.

"What are you talking about? Do you really want to persuade people to behave?" Jacob Tull teased: "You must be drunk."

"No, I'm not drunk, I'm serious. And she has never really sold anything, so how can I persuade her to be a good person? She has always been a good person." Daniel Hawkins smiled: "Besides, she Isn't it because of us that we were sold here? Of course, the real culprit is her father, but from what she said, we can't be separated from each other. "

"Are you kidding me? I'm willing to admit defeat. No one can blame anyone. You are forcing yourself to take responsibility." Jacob Tull said: "I want to redeem you, but I won't redeem you anyway."

Lyra looked at Daniel Hawkins with longing in her eyes, waiting for his response.

Daniel Hawkins said: "Sister, I call you sister now, is it okay?"

"You are willing to redeem me and take me out of this devil's cave. You can call me whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want me to do. Great Baron," Laila said.

"So, after I redeem you, are you willing to follow me all the time?" Daniel Hawkins added: "I am not that great. I also have selfish motives. Of course, it is not the dirty thing you think."

"I am willing, I am willing." Laila said urgently: "And I have nowhere else to go. I am a woman with no skills and can only starve to death. If I return to my father, he will definitely die again. Sold me back."

Daniel Hawkins nodded. The girl Lila in front of him was beautiful, had some experience in working in a tavern, and was literate. More importantly, he needed someone he could trust now. Anyway, now that he has a lot of money, it is not in vain to redeem the life of a woman who has not been defiled, whether it is to win people's hearts or not.

"Okay, just think of me as a bad person." Daniel Hawkins said, "And sister, you don't have to say that you are so worthless."

"So, Lord Baron, you will really redeem me?" Laila couldn't believe it and asked repeatedly.

Daniel Hawkins nodded.

"Ah." Leila shouted happily, but then she felt that she was too loud and quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't be so careful, it's better if you shout out. If you stay quiet here all night, Mommy will think it's abnormal." Daniel Hawkins said.

Jacob Toole continued to laugh on the side, and Leila blushed when she heard it.

"Thank the ancient gods, thank the baron." Leila said.

Jacob Toole said: "Why, now you only have the baron in your eyes?"

"Ah, thank you." Leila said while bowing to them.

"Okay, stop teasing her." Daniel Hawkins said, "Let's talk business."

"Business?" Jacob Toole said, "Can we talk business in a brothel?"

"Yes," Daniel Hawkins said to Jacob Toole, "I will be responsible for redeeming her, which means I will be responsible for paying. But the specific process of redeeming her requires your help, my friend."

Looking at Daniel Hawkins's expression, Jacob Toole had a bad premonition and said for a long time, "Can I refuse?"

"No." Daniel Hawkins said with a smile.
