This also gave this tired and hungry young man a little insignificant sense of security.

He curled up in the darkness, trying hard to make himself forget his hunger and trying hard to let himself fall asleep.

He completely disliked the city where he was born and raised, and his cowardice. Although the culprit was right in front of him, he did not dare to pull the trigger.

The cowardly memory rolled in his heart, making him want to escape.

He didn't know where he was going, he didn't know what he wanted to do, and he was very confused inside. He only knew that the farther he wanted to get from there, the better.

But in the erosion of this extreme negative emotions, it is almost impossible to fall asleep.

Under the pressure of hunger, two pieces of cold chicken and two slices of bread were not enough to fill the stomach. As time went by, the unwilling twitching of his stomach made him even more upset.

The young man finally sat up suddenly, as if he had finally made up his mind to find something to eat.

But the moment he sat up, his body stiffened a little.

On the box in front of him, a figure in the shadow was sitting leisurely, swaying his legs, looking at him.

It's like looking at a rookie.

It was difficult for the young man to see Merlin's appearance clearly in the dark, but Merlin could clearly see the young man's face.

This is a handsome young man, with firm and graceful lines on his face, with blue eyes as gentle as a lover, and his short brown hair is a bit scattered, but it can be seen that it was carefully taken care of before.

He was wearing a light green long suit. Although he couldn't see the brand clearly, Merlin could feel that it was a real high-end product.

And the clothes lined by this young man are also luxury goods that exudes the fragrance of money.

He had a watch on his wrist and his other hand was in his pocket, especially when he suddenly saw Merlin in the darkness. When he was frightened, the hand in his pocket seemed to hold something even harder.

If Merlin was not wrong, it would be a gun

But Merlin was not afraid. His keen senses did not feel the murderous intent from the young man in front of him.

The most important thing is that when seeing this young man with a hint of pain in his panic, Merlin seemed to see himself who had just suffered misfortune and had to leave home and embark on the road to exile 6 months ago.

They may be the same type of people.

They may be friends.

"Rookie, that little thing can't stand the hunger."

Merlin jumped lightly from the box and stood in front of the young man, which made the young man take a step back, and the vigilance in his blue eyes became more straightforward.

"Don't come over!"

He warned.

"You stole my food, which made you and I very hungry now."

Merlin raised his hands and signaled that he had no malice. He said to the nervous young man in front of him:

"I'm going to get something for midnight snack now, either throw away the gun and come with me."

"Or, just starve here."

"I'm not a criminal! I won't be like you!"

The young man gritted his teeth and replied calmly:

"No! I'm not guilty, boy, I just want to fill my stomach, just like you just now. I won't make you full even if you talk big. I'll just wait for you for 5 seconds. I do need someone to help, but it's not that you have to, so whether you come or not depends on you."

After saying that, he turned around without hesitation, as if he didn't care about the threat from behind.

Behind him, the young man's hand was always on the pistol in his pocket, but the hunger in his stomach urged him, and eventually, he took off his shirt and walked into the darkness.

After a while, the two young men tiptoed towards the upper floor of the freighter, one after another.

Merlin, who was more familiar with the freighter, led the way in front. The silent young man followed him. Merlin asked in a low voice:

"My name is Merlin, what are your name?"

The young man didn't answer, and seemed unwilling to answer, Merlin said again:

"If you act together, I have to know your name, or it's just a code name, how can I contact you?"

A few seconds later, in the darkness, the young man whispered:

"Bruce"
