"Come in quickly and close the door." West, who walked into the house, said nervously.

Ilena put down the empty plate in her hand and asked her son: "Where have you been there in these few days? Are you hungry? Do I want me to make you something more food?"

After West turned the dim oil lamp to the maximum, he first pulled the younger brother and sister who were weaving the net, then took out two pieces of fist-sized white bread from his arms and handed it to them.

"Eat it, I bought it in the residential area on the island."

The two siblings took the white bread and did not sip it. Instead, they looked at their mother with concern.

Ilena looked at the delicate packaging of the white bread with a nervous look. "Is this something expensive?"

West looked indifferent, "It's okay, one only costs 50 echoes. I went to the Crown District to buy it. We can afford this little money."

As he said that, he took out a stack of echo banknotes and handed them to Elena.

Facing these banknotes, Elena was not happy at all, and her old face was filled with deep anxiety.

"Did you go stealing something again? I have said so many times, stop doing such things that violate the law! What if you are caught by the police!"

West smiled and stuffed the banknotes in his hand into his mother's hand. "Don't worry, I didn't steal other people's things."

"Then where is this money?" Elena stared at her eldest son.

"I...I picked up a wallet today. It should be someone from the heart of the island, and there is a lot of money in it." West looked away guiltily.

"Don't lie to me, where does this money come from?" Elena's voice trembled slightly.

After looking at each other, the two brothers and sisters next to them silently put the white bread in their hands on the table and began to weave fishing nets.

In desperation, West could only tell the truth. "Actually, it's nothing. The people from the Shark Gang asked me for help. The money was their reward."

Ilena's bloodless lips were trembling slightly. "Did you forget how Xiao Timi died? He also went to help. When he was sent back, half of his body was gone!"

Ilena had a very scared look in her eyes. Those people and gangs on the streets would only have a kind of help to find the poor people living in the port area.

That is to let them experiment with strange relics.

Many people who helped in the past walked over and lie down, which was just gambled with their lives. Generally, only those gambling monsters who were betting on red-eyed will do it. God knows why their sons do such things.

"Mother, it's okay, I'll do it this time. Look, I'm back now. In the next period of time, I'll have to go out for a long trip, which will take several months, so I have to leave some money for my family."

West walked over, pulled up his younger brother and sister who were weaving the net, and stuffed the bread on the table into their hands.

"How many months? What are you going to do?" Ilena's voice trembled a little

West knew that taking what he said would make his mother angry, but he still wanted to say. "Recently, a cargo ship lacked a sailor, and I wanted to go out to sea to be a crew member."

As if he was receiving some excitement, Ilena suddenly rushed to her eldest son, raised her left hand to his face and shook it hard. "Bang!"

"Are you crazy?! You are going to die! Have you forgotten why your father disappeared? Don't go to the sea!!"

Elena waved her hand again, but was grabbed by West, and his voice became excited at this moment.

"Mother, isn't it just death? I'll admit it even if I die. What's the point of living a poor life?"

"No matter how poor you live, you will die!! As long as you live, you will get better one day!"

"How could it get better? Shadow Island has been sinking for three years! I have been carrying a bag here for three years! I am still a bag carrying bag. When my brother gets older, he will follow me to carry bags. Then my sister gets older and marry someone carry bags? Our family has been struggling in the port area. Is this what you think is good?"

"The day before yesterday, I saw you picking up the remaining shark meat that others peeled in the fish market. This kind of fish meat that even beggars dislike is only eaten by our family. How can this be better?"

Faced with her son's questioning, Elena was speechless, and she lowered her head and shed tears silently.

Looking at the sad mother, West continued to say: "In the past, my father's jewelry store was still there, but my younger brother and sister don't remember it. But I still remember that we can take a shower with fresh water, we can eat delicious food every day, and live in the big house in the heart of the island. That is what it means to be really good, instead of living like a mouse in the gutter like this."

The room was silent for a long time. When the fire in the oil lamp jumped, West stuffed the echo banknotes in his hand into his mother's arms.

"Don't worry, I will definitely let that good day come back again. I promise!" After saying that, he ignored the shouts of his mother behind him and rushed to the noisy street as quickly as possible.

After he got rid of his mother, West suddenly exhaled and walked towards the two young men who were smoking in the distance.

"How was the negotiation?"

West nodded firmly, "Well, I decided to get on the boat."

A young man with a slanted scar on the corner of his mouth excitedly hit his shoulder with his hand.

"You will be proud of this decision in the future. You are all turtles who have no courage to beg for food on the shore. You are considered a real man who is born from the sea. Let's go to the bar, and I'll treat you today."

With a smile on his face, West stepped forward with his companion's shoulders. "Will the captain agree to me get on the boat? I haven't left the sea before."

"Don't worry, you just go to be a sailor, just have hands and feet. Moreover, I have a strong relationship with the sailor. I will definitely agree to send a few packs of cigarettes to him."

Just as the three of them continued to walk forward with their arms around each other, the road was directly cut off by the sheriff in black.

"It's really disappointing. What's the road for these black-skinned dogs?" The scarred young man looked impatient.

"Look at the other side, it seems that some big shot is coming." West pointed to the dock next to him.

The bright searchlight shone through the darkness, and a huge oppressive giant ship slowly moved towards the dock."

"That's the Governor's Royal Giant."

Not long after, West saw several cars driving quickly from the dock towards this side.

One of the car windows opened, and a beautiful face appeared in front of them and flashed by. The stunning face made the men next to them straighten their eyes.

"He Fang's Mingzhu is so beautiful no matter how many times he sees it."

"It's really her! It's Miss Margaret!"

"Sister is so beautiful."

The scarred young man licked his lips with his tongue on his face, and his eyes were filled with a hint of gaze. "If she could be my woman all night, I would be willing to exchange my life for me."

"Hey! Boy! What did you say just now! Get over here!!" The policeman closest to him raised the black baton in his hand angrily.
