On a boat on the river.
“Ah!”
Joe Braton was salvaged and someone performed first aid on him. He was frantically vomiting on the boat. After he finished vomiting, Joe Braton lay on the deck, gasping for breath.
He survived.
He really survived.
But what appeared in his eyes was not the joy of surviving, but boundless hatred. He roared on the deck, “Kid, since I’ve escaped a great calamity this time, I’ll make sure to kill you.”
He almost died.
Who is he? He is Joe Braton, the young master of the Braton family, the prestigious young master of the North Coast. He was almost killed by that poor boy.
Who is he?
What is the identity of that poor boy? How dare he lay hands on him?
“Hey, let me borrow your phone.”
Joe Braton shouted at a sailor on the deck next to him.
The sailor frowned.
What’s with his attitude?
They saved this guy, and all they got in return was his yelling and scolding.
He ignored him.
Joe Braton became angry when he saw that the sailor ignored him. “What do you mean? Do you know who I am? Give me the phone, or else you’ll regret it.”
No one paid attention to him.
He continued to yell.
However, someone got annoyed and said, “Enough noise. How about we throw him back into the water? After all, there are no surveillance cameras watching us bring him up.”
“Good idea.”
Another crew member agreed.
Of course, it was impossible to actually throw him back into the water. They were just ordinary people and not so ruthless. But it was okay to scare the guy who was still yelling.
When Joe Braton heard that they were going to throw him back into the water, his pale face turned even paler.
That fear.
He really didn’t want to go through it again.
He immediately shut up and his attitude suddenly changed. After some bargaining and promising to pay three thousand yuan for a chance to make a phone call, he finally got the phone and immediately complained.
“Uncle Cassidy, I almost got beaten to death… Hurry up and arrest him…”
He was sobbing.
Uncle Cassidy.
The head of the police station had a good relationship with their family. He often received gifts from them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been released as soon as he entered, and there wasn’t even a record.
Trouble comes in waves!
After receiving assurance from Uncle Cassidy, his smile gradually became sinister. “Kid, you think you can fight? Even if you can fight, can you fight against the Kisia officials? This time, I will make sure you beg for survival and not find it, beg for death and not find it.”
He didn’t know.
Robin not only could fight against the officials, he was also the number one official.
The police were also soldiers under his jurisdiction.
…
In the afternoon, Robin had been near House Azalea, surveying some things.
Looking for any unexpected surprises.
As the evening approached, a phone call came in.
“Hello.”
Robin answered.
“Um, I’m the girl you saved on the bus today. Thank you. I said I would treat you to barbecue tonight. Where are you? Should I come pick you up?”
In the phone call was Kimi Hall’s voice.
She still remembered that incident.
Because Robin was wrongly accused, she still felt guilty.
“Give me your address. I’ll come by myself,” Robin said.
Kimi Hall offering to pick him up was just a polite gesture.
Robin noticed that Kimi Hall didn’t have good conditions, probably her family was struggling, and most likely they didn’t have a car. It would be troublesome if she came to pick him up.
“Okay, Kiki Barbecue Stall,” Kimi Hall said before hanging up.
Robin left House Azalea.
Jeff lived nearby and was skilled. He was responsible for the survey here, and he wouldn’t be easily discovered. If he were easily discovered, he wouldn’t qualify as the all-around soldier in the military.
Being an all-around soldier wasn’t just about being good at fighting.
He arrived shortly.
Robin got out of the taxi and took a look. It was a small stall with a cart-like structure. Inside, a middle-aged man was grilling barbecue, sweating profusely while wearing an apron.
In the stall, two women were busy. One was Kimi Hall, dressed in simple clothes. Even though she dressed simply, her beauty was evident.
The other woman was a middle-aged woman, probably in her forties. Maybe because she had worked at the barbecue stall for a long time, her face was full of wrinkles, making her look a bit old. But you could tell that she had been beautiful in her prime.
At a glance, they were Kimi Hall’s parents.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t havebeen able to give birth to such a beautiful daughter like Kimi Hall.
“Um, you’re here. Just wait a moment, I’m busy,” Kimi Hall saw Robin, but she couldn’t break away.
Today was Friday, and there were many people coming to eat barbecue. Even Kimi Hall didn’t expect the stall to be so crowded. There were many people waiting outside, and even Kimi Hall and her mother couldn’t handle it all.
“Hey, boss, why isn’t the food here yet?” someone impatiently asked.
“Ah,” Robin glanced at the busy Kimi Hall and her mother, then walked over and helped, saying, “I’m here, I’m here.”
“What’s this?” Kimi Hall’s mother asked.
“He’s my friend,” Kimi Hall just wanted to cover her face. She invited this kind-hearted person to eat barbecue, not to work. She wanted Robin to sit down and rest, but there was no space available.
The whole barbecue stall was packed.
“Your friend, huh? The young man is not bad,” Kimi Hall’s mother looked at Robin and nodded, “Much better than that Joe Braton. That Joe Braton looks at us with a disdainful expression, as if he’s so noble. Hmph.”
Joe Braton had been pursuing Kimi Hall for a while, and he often came to this barbecue stall.
However, he only ate here once and then said it was like feeding pigs. He said that if Kimi Hall followed him, he could take her to dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant, a grand feast, promising her a life of luxury and extravagance.
Mrs. Hall truly loathed that person.
Acting as if he were superior, looking down on them. So what if he had money? What did his money have to do with them? Why did he look down on them? Their money couldn’t be stolen or snatched from others.
And now, Robin, he looked much more pleasing.
He was diligent in his work, and he didn’t wear any famous brands, but his clothes were very clean.
“Much better than Joe Braton, much better,” Kimi Hall also nodded. But the next moment, she realized that her mother’s words had a hidden meaning. She wanted to explain, but at that moment, a customer called her.
She had no choice but to rush over.
Mrs. Hall thought that Kimi Hall had agreed, so she kept staring at Robin, murmuring to herself, “Our girl has good taste this time. This person looks good to me, not pretentious, not hypocritical, and has a humble attitude. He’s also a child from a poor family, which matches well with our Kiki.”
Just like a mother-in-law selecting a son-in-law, the more she looked, the more suitable he seemed.
However, Robin was indeed from a poor family.
No.
It shouldn’t be said that he came from a poor family.
He was an orphan, expelled from his home, his mother met a tragic death, and he grew up wandering the streets.
