On the narrow and bustling streets of Fleuve Cendre, Yide and Furina walked side by side.
Their appearance quickly attracted the attention of some interested parties.
After navigating through the crowds, Yide led Furina to a relatively quiet bar.
They sat down at a corner table, the surrounding noise immediately isolated a few steps away.
A young waiter quickly approached, a professional smile on his face, and asked, "Lady Furina, Lord Yide, what would you like to drink?"
Yide asked in a casual tone, "Do you have a drink called Sinthe here?"
The waiter paused, seemingly searching his mind for the unfamiliar drink name.
Then, with a hint of apology, he replied, "Sinthe? I'm sorry, we don't offer that drink here."
Yide had been carefully observing his every subtle reaction, finding his expression natural and smooth, without any sign of abnormality.
Yide concluded that, at this point in time, Vacher had not yet begun to publicly peddle Sinthe.
Now, to find this guy's trace in the vast sea of people is like finding a needle in a haystack, extremely difficult.
He gently uttered, "Two orange juices, please."
The waiter took the order and soon returned to the table with two glasses of bright orange juice.
Taking the orange juice, Yide leaned back slightly, resting his entire back against the chair, and closed his eyes to rest.
"Hey, you, didn't you say you came out to find the murderer? Why are you resting?"
Furina said, dissatisfied, looking at his lazy posture.
Yide looked leisurely, "In a moment, you will know."
Although Furina was still a little unwilling, she had no choice but to give up. She imitated Yide, gently closing her eyes.
At the same time, her thoughts began to fly, constantly speculating about Yide's true intentions for this trip.
The fatigue of these days of running around, coupled with the soothing music and warm lighting in the bar, unexpectedly relaxed her mind unconsciously.
Thinking about it, Furina's body gradually leaned forward, and finally she fell asleep on the table in an extremely comfortable posture.
After an unknown amount of time, a young couple appeared at the entrance of the bar.
The man was burly, with a resolute face, revealing an extraordinary temperament in his gestures; the woman was graceful, with golden hair like waves, like a lady from a famous family, but her face was slightly pale.
As soon as they appeared, Yide keenly opened his eyes.
When he saw Furina next to him immersed in a sweet dream, he immediately felt speechless.
He hurriedly pushed Furina gently, trying to wake her up.
Furina opened her eyes groggily and yawned a big yawn.
As her consciousness gradually recovered, she quickly realized her current gaffe and quickly adjusted her posture, restoring the goddess's proper dignity and demeanor.
However, the little episode just now had been seen by the couple.
Although they were a little surprised by Furina's performance, they did not show too much concern.
On the contrary, their eyes focused more on Yide.
"Lady Furina, Baron Yide, I am Callas, the president of the Spina di Rosula, and this is my wife, Clementine." Callas stepped forward to introduce himself.
Yide nodded politely, "Please sit down, I have something important to discuss with you."
Callas sat down next to Yide, while Clementine sat gracefully next to Furina.
As soon as he sat down, Callas couldn't wait to ask, "What brings you two to Fleuve Cendre this time?"
Yide did not directly mention the serial case of young girls, but changed the subject and talked about another seemingly unrelated topic, "I heard that the Spina di Rosula has encountered some not small troubles in the process of building the Aquabus."
Callas was about to speak, but was stopped by a subtle look from Clementine.
She responded with a gentle smile, "The Spina di Rosula has indeed encountered some difficulties, but please rest assured, we are confident that we can solve them ourselves."
Yide looked at the intelligent and elegant woman in front of him, and couldn't help but show some appreciation in his eyes.
He was not in a hurry, and continued, "Many shipowners and sailors in Fontaine Harbor make a living by shipping. Once the Aquabus is completed, they will inevitably face the dilemma of unemployment.
So, where is the future for these shipowners and sailors?"
Callas and Clementine were silent. Currently, the biggest obstacle to their construction of the Aquabus is this group of shipowners and sailors.
After a long time, Clementine said solemnly, "If the West Factory can help solve this problem, the Spina di Rosula will definitely remember this kindness."
Yide shook his head gently, "The West Factory does not need the Spina di Rosula's kindness, it just hopes that the Spina di Rosula can join the West Factory!"
"That's absolutely impossible!" Callas's attitude was extremely firm, expressing his refusal without concealment, "The Spina di Rosula will never be your Fontaine people's lackeys! Fleuve Cendre will never succumb to Fontaine!"
Hearing this sentence, Furina's expression became complicated.
In fact, Fleuve Cendre was under the management of Fontaine a long time ago, but some things that happened later changed all of this.
Faced with Callas's fierce reaction, Yide remained calm, and he said in a calm tone, "The people of Fleuve Cendre should not be bound in that dark sewer. They have the right to enjoy the same rights and freedoms as the people of Fontaine.
If the Spina di Rosula joins the West Factory, these beautiful visions will become a reality."
