Lynn smiled slightly and responded, "Lexus Gin, distilled from the brewing workshop in the town."

Boer widened his eyes and looked at Lynn, hesitating to speak.

Lynn directly said, "If Mr. Boer likes it, before you leave, I'll have someone place a barrel on your carriage."

Boer expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much, Master Lynn."

Such strong liquor is perfect for getting through the winter.

Especially during winter trade transport, even a small sip can make you feel warm all over!

An hour later.

George came into the tavern, "Master, the goods have all been unloaded, and the fine salt is loaded onto Mr. Boer's carriage."

Lynn acknowledged, "Have someone go to the brewing workshop and load a barrel of gin onto Mr. Boer's carriage."

George didn't hesitate, "Yes, Master, I'll go right away."

George withdrew and left the tavern.

Lynn and Boer also stood up and walked out of the tavern, heading toward the open square.

Once the gin was placed on Boer's carriage, after saying goodbye to Lynn, the carriages began heading toward the distant mountains and forests.

On the limestone road.

Leading the horses, Boer glanced back at Mike, finding him with his head lowered, silent.

Boer asked puzzled, "What's wrong? Do you also want some gin produced from the Lynn Territory?"

Mike still kept his head down, not daring to respond to Boer's words.

Boer frowned, suddenly realizing something, and shouted, "Stop!"

The drivers pulling the carriages all tightened the reins, and the draft horses neighed loudly.

Boer looked directly at the Mike in front of him and said aloud, "Mike!"

Mike still kept his head down.

Boer's voice grew louder, "Mike! I told you to look up!"

The newly hired guards and drivers around watched the scene in confusion.

Under Boer's imposing pressure, Mike lifted his head.

In his eyes, there was a look of struggle.

Boer asked straightforwardly, "Did you tell anyone about this bandit attack?"

Mike's face was full of hesitation, but he didn't dare to speak.

Boer said sternly, "Speak!"

Feeling Boer's change in demeanor, Mike finally spoke, "Master Boer… I didn't tell anyone else, I just… just told my aunt…"

Boer's eyes widened instantly, perhaps from excessive anger, causing his chest to rise and fall rapidly.

You could even faintly hear the sound of his breathing through his nostrils.

Boer quickly extended his right hand, gripping Mike's left wrist, and started back toward the town.

Feeling Boer's grip and seeing the town's outline, Mike panicked instantly.

"Master Boer, what… what are you going to do?"

"Master Boer, let go of me!"

"I really just told my aunt. She… she wouldn't tell anyone else."

"Master Boer, believe me!"

Boer's words were cold, "I believed you, believed you wouldn't tell anyone about these things, just as I believed your uncle Ryan."

"But now, you've betrayed my trust!"

As Boer pulled him along, Mike was forced to head toward the town.

Looking at the town ahead, fear appeared in Mike's eyes.

If Master Lynn knew about this, what would the consequences be…

He didn't dare to imagine!

He had indeed seen with his own eyes Master Lynn ordering his soldiers to behead dozens of mercenaries!

Neat one-handed swords came down, and dozens of heads rolled off, the blood spurting and staining the ground red.

Thinking of this.

Mike quickly began to struggle, "Master Boer, please let go of me."

"If Master Lynn finds out, he'll definitely kill me!"

Boer's right hand continued to hold Mike firmly, without any slack.

"Master Boer! That's my aunt she's asking, kneeling in front of me where my uncle went, how could I possibly hold back from telling her?"

"It was my uncle who brought me out of the village, it was my uncle and aunt who raised me, Master Boer."

"He took me out, but only I went back…"

At this point.

Boer shook Mike's arm suddenly.

But it only lasted for a moment.

Boer still held Mike's right hand, heading toward the town.

Under Boer's pull, expressions flickered across Mike's face.

He even gripped the handle of the knife at his waist.

But seeing Master Boer's familiar yet unfamiliar back, Mike ultimately chose to give up.

When the bandits caught up, it was Master Boer who had him hide in the woods…

Until finally, Mike gave up resisting and let Boer drag him to town.

A few minutes later.

The two returned to the town, standing before Lynn.

Looking at Master Lynn, Boer turned his head towards Mike behind him and shouted, "Kneel!"

Mike didn't say a word, falling to his knees in despair in front of Lynn.

The next second.

In Mike's shocked eyes, Boer also knelt down.

Ignoring the dampness and cold of the ground.

Before Lynn could ask anything, Boer spoke first, "Master Lynn, I'm sorry, Boer failed your trust…"

Lynn stared directly at them, "Speak."

Boer explained, "Mike… Mike leaked the information about you wiping out the bandits."

Lynn immediately frowned.

After listening to Boer's explanation, Lynn glanced at Mike, then turned to Boer.

"Mr. Boer, Mike is your guard, deal with him as you see fit."

Hearing Lynn's indifferent words, Mike was somewhat surprised.

Let Master Boer handle it himself?

Does this mean he still has a chance to live?

However.

The next second.

Boer turned swiftly, drawing a dagger from his waist and plunged it into Mike's chest.

The cold, biting, intense stabbing pain spread quickly.

Mike looked at Boer full of disbelief, reaching out to grip Boer's arm still holding the dagger.

His words were broken, "Boer… Master… it hurts…"

In a voice that sounded comforting, Boer's broken words came out, "Child… when you've done something wrong, you must face punishment."

"It's okay, it's okay, once you sleep, it won't hurt anymore…"

Mike's grip on Boer's hands weakened and finally fell to his sides.

Boer released Mike and once again looked toward Lynn, his words filled with apology, "Master Lynn, Boer leaves himself to your punishment!"
