Bo-Katan's gaze settled on Amir. She had noticed the lightsaber hanging at his waist.
Amir usually kept his own lightsaber hidden inside the sleeve of his robe, where there was a hook to secure it. When he needed to use it, he only had to release it.
But he had not prepared a hidden place for this newly acquired lightsaber, so he had simply hung it at his waist. Under normal circumstances, it would not have been seen either. Unfortunately, he had gotten too into the game, and his sitting posture had become rather unrestrained.
Still, that made things easier. Meeting Bo-Katan's gaze, Amir stood up directly.
Holding her helmet at her waist, Bo-Katan had originally only taken a second look at him because of the lightsaber. Yet he had walked straight toward her.
A Jedi? Or someone who had simply obtained a lightsaber by accident?
Since the war, she had almost never seen a Jedi again.
"Who are you?" she asked when Amir approached.
Amir looked at the two of them. Although both women had once been members of Death Watch, they did not follow the same tradition as Din Djarin's sect. Their goal back then had merely been to ensure that Mandalorians continued to revere martial strength. They did not care for that many rigid customs. Even Pre Vizsla, Death Watch's former leader, had not cared whether he removed his helmet in front of outsiders.
But for Din Djarin's clan, that was a major taboo.
After admiring Bo-Katan's armor for a moment, Amir said, "My name is Amir. I came here looking for you."
The Mandalorian woman following behind Bo-Katan took a step forward, immediately becoming alert.
"What is it?" Bo-Katan had originally planned to ignore him, but after remembering the lightsaber she had just seen, her interest was piqued.
Amir looked at the lively surroundings and said to her, "Come with me."
Without calling over 32 or Millisyn, Amir led the two of them to an empty corner and sat down at a table. Bo-Katan sat opposite him, while her young attendant stood behind her.
"You're a Jedi?" Once there were no people around, Bo-Katan could not help asking.
"Yes," Amir admitted. That would also give him a better reason to explain the information that came next.
"What is it?" Clearly, Bo-Katan was more interested in the fact that he was a Jedi than in what they were about to discuss.
"Tell your person to take her hand off her blaster. I'm not going to do anything to you." Amir looked at the helmeted Mandalorian standing to the side.
Bo-Katan turned and gave a signal. Only then did the woman finally relax. She also removed her helmet, revealing a girl's face about the same age as Amir's beneath it, with black braids.
"I wonder if you're interested in Maul?" Amir asked, looking into Bo-Katan's eyes.
As soon as he said that, a visible ripple passed through the woman's eyes. Her posture also became more aggressive.
"Where is he?"
Amir did not answer directly. "Do you know Crimson Dawn?"
"Of course. A notorious crime syndicate."
"The hidden boss behind Crimson Dawn, barring any surprises, is him." Amir put on the expression of a Master, making his young face look a little more convincing.
Naturally, Bo-Katan was not about to believe him so easily. "Where did you get that information?"
"I'm a Jedi. Through the Force, I can see glimpses of the future or distant scenes. Maul is the true power behind Crimson Dawn. Recently, Crimson Dawn publicly welcomed a new boss, a Corellian woman named Qi'ra. She has a past with one of my friends, and she is Maul's direct subordinate."
"How am I supposed to believe you?" After her initial urgency, Bo-Katan had already calmed down.
"Believe it or not, it costs me nothing. Also, in the Force, I saw the planet Dathomir. That is Maul's homeworld. I also saw a curved-hilt lightsaber. It should be the Darksaber."
At that, Bo-Katan could no longer sit still. Even the young attendant behind her looked at Amir in a daze.
The Darksaber was far too important to them.
"What do you want?" Bo-Katan stared hard into Amir's eyes, as if trying to find traces of deception there.
"I just want Crimson Dawn to take a hit." Amir thought for a moment and decided not to keep stringing Bo-Katan along. He could already sense that her emotions were in complete turmoil. "You don't need to suspect this is some trap either. You should know Obi-Wan Kenobi."
Bo-Katan's eyes became complicated when she heard that name. "You're his apprentice?"
"Yes." Amir displayed his own lightsaber from his sleeve. It was much newer than the one at his waist, clearly newly made.
Bo-Katan took a deep breath. At this point, she was already leaning toward believing him.
Jedi were now even rarer than Mandalorians, especially one this young. He could only be someone's apprentice. And that reason, simply wanting Crimson Dawn to suffer a blow, did indeed sound like a Jedi's goal.
Amir had also only given her a name and a location. He had not actively tried to tempt her into taking action. That made Bo-Katan even more inclined to believe him. After all, the decision was hers. She could investigate everything first before deciding whether to act.
"If the information is true, I will..." Bo-Katan was about to speak, only to realize that she had nothing she could offer. She had come to Maz this time to borrow money.
"You don't need to thank me. Just take me along when you act. Remember my comm frequency." Amir could not help finding it a little funny. Everyone was having a hard time these days.
"I'll contact you." Bo-Katan stood up, took a deep look at Amir, picked up her helmet, and left. The young attendant behind her also glared at Amir.
He's about my age and he actually dares speak to Lady Bo-Katan in that tone? Hmph. If I get the chance, I'll definitely beat him up.
Then she also picked up her helmet and quickly followed after Bo-Katan.
After the two of them left, Amir walked out as well. He found Han Solo sitting alone at the bar, drinking.
He was not bragging to anyone anymore.
Oh, maybe everyone here had already heard it once. After all, Han looked deeply satisfied.
"You still haven't told me about that matter," Amir said, ordering a drink and sitting beside him.
"What matter?"
"The time you asked me to tell your fortune. Your little girlfriend. Crimson Dawn," Amir reminded him.
Han Solo's good mood was immediately dampened. He fell into a rare silence.
"Want me to tell your fortune again?" Amir asked with a smile.
"No. No need. I know what's going on." Han Solo thought back to the last time he had seen Qi'ra.
The two of them were completely different from who they had been back on Corellia.
There was a thick wall between them. He did not have the ability to break it, and Qi'ra herself was pushing him farther away.
So that was that.
"Can you take me to Crimson Dawn's headquarters?" Amir asked.
"I can tell you the time and place of their gathering."
