She knows that. It's why she sacrificed her leg back then.
โUnfortunately, my time in that battle is long over. Long ended before it truly even began, yes sir. Even if I'm only reading news reports on a bar stool, I appreciate your work.โ
โI refuse, sir.โ
Not a fan of theatrics, and unaware of the reward he has in mind, she rejects his game.
โThe drink that best suits the customer is the one that they decide to order. It's simple as that. You carve out your own destiny, yes?

Setting the glass aside, he rested his arms on the bar, waiting not for her response, for it's already been set in stone in his mind, but the treat she'd surely whip up.
Perhaps, if we were friends, I'd ask you something along the lines of โare you happy?โ โ but that's none of my business, sir.โ
Happiness is a meaningless concept when it comes to something as important as freedom and equality, anyways.
โOf course. Butโโ
The aforementioned barista responded in a polite tone.
โโ You do know where you are. Don't you, sir?โ
Club Rendezvous was no bar anyone could find on the street. It was a speakeasy that only high-class individuals visited.
โHas it been a long day, sir?
No, it has to have been. For you to be at a speakeasy at this time of day. ...... I won't complain about business. Rather, I'm inviting you to do the complaining, sir.
โ A ginger beer, maโam. Thatโs it. โ

Always keen on a business opportunity, Lien offered her services as a former EMT to those who visited the bar. If someone was injured, she would take them to the backrooms and stitch them back up.
Now her skills as a doctor are well known among organized crime syndicates.
