This is fucking terrifying!
Anyone who can make it here must have strong mental fortitude. They’ve been through quite a bit, but never did they ever imagine being terrified to this degree by a woman.
But in their eyes, she isn’t just a woman. She’s a grim reaper who can snatch lives at any moment.
This is just a small place, and the darkest things happening behind the scenes are pretty much routine. They’ve never encountered such a formidable presence in all their years here. Every time they lock eyes with her, they fear they might end up with no place to bury their bodies.
Flossie Wright didn’t say a word, but the pub’s boss had already deduced the gist of the matter. Cold sweat poured down his forehead as if it cost him nothing.
That’s right, he did make some small moves. On the way here, he had deliberately sent someone to inquire about this woman’s identity, trying to find out who she really was, then even after arriving at the pub, he deliberately stalled for time. He intended to put this woman in her place, unaware that he was provoking this insurmountable force.
"I, I’m sorry."
The pub owner stammered the words out, exerting all his strength to do so.
"Don’t bother apologizing," Flossie Wright stood up from the sofa abruptly, moving unexpectedly close to the pub owner. This terrified him, causing his body to tremble. She leaned very close to him, close enough to touch, but maintained a tactful distance. She parted her lips to speak in a chilling tone, "A bit of information in exchange for your life, not a bad deal right?"
The boss of the pub could only feel his body freeze, a vague fear gripping his heart and making it hard for him to breathe.
In a spot that was difficult to notice, Flossie Wright’s hand now held a military blade. The blade was unsheathed and up against his abdomen. A slight increase in pressure and he could feel the pain the blade brought.
The threat of death is terrifying.
Flossie Wright takes actions decisively. If the pub owner had been sincere, she might have been just satisfied with a cash exchange, but his actions had annoyed her. A cash trade-off would only make her unhappy. She chose the direct approach: life-threats.
Why not finish it at once?
People like him might be really gutsy and not afraid of consequences, but they are definitely afraid of death.
Unless they have suicidal tendencies, everyone fears death.
"It’s reasonable."
The pub owner’s sweat poured out. By the time he uttered these words, he realized his back was already soaked.
An exchange of some information for a life was indeed a fair deal.

Within ten minutes, Flossie Wright elegantly walked out of the pub. Her stylish jeans outfit was as blinding as when she entered, only to those inside the pub, she was an unexpected nightmare.
This small town doesn’t have a large population. Being coastal, most of its residents make their living from fishing. The economy is prosperous. But where there are people, there is light and darkness, prosperity and decay intertwined. The town has thriving areas and shady, decayed corners. Some are well-known, some are hidden.
Although Flossie Wright had never roamed around this small town over the past few days, thanks to her habits from her past life, she had a fairly good understanding of the town’s layout and circumstances. However, as she was out with Yvonne Watson, she had not had a chance to get involved in the town’s darker side.
But, no matter where you go, many things are the same. Every trade has its own rules, they do not change drastically due to different environments.
