Pirate's Path of Destiny

The setting sun gradually sets from the sea level, and the gorgeous sunset slowly disappears, replaced by a hazy twilight that envelopes the entire Rogge Town.

Jace, who had been sleeping for half a day, gradually woke up from his dreamland. He looked at the wall clock outside the kitchen door, and after confirming that it was dinner time, he got up and started preparing the ingredients.

咚

With a heavy kick on the door, a gangster with a bandage on his head led a group of people into the store. He was one of the two villains Jace met at noon.

Jess, who was handling ingredients in the kitchen, didn't react much and just asked as usual:

"Guests, what do you need?"

Hearing the sound, the injured man turned his head, and after taking a closer look at Jace in the kitchen, veins popped up on his forehead.

"It's him who ruined my good deeds before and even injured my head."

Jess noticed that this group of people didn't seem to be here for dinner. He just clicked his tongue to express his disdain to the young man who was dancing in the hall, and then returned to the matter at hand.

Seeing that the white-haired cook seemed to be very disdainful of his behavior of calling people out if he couldn't beat him, the injured gangster became even more impatient and couldn't wait to curse:

"You bastard, if you mess with our Badlock Gang, don't even think about hanging around in Rogge Town anymore."

After that, a group of young men who claimed to be the Badlock Gang pulled out their weapons and rushed towards Jace, shouting slogans of unknown meaning.

On the way this group of people came with weapons, they inevitably pushed and knocked over many chairs and stools.Jess was furious when he saw the damage to his beloved restaurant.

"Don't vandalize other people's restaurants, asshole."

Quickly taking off his chef uniform, Jace roared at the crowd rushing toward him with red eyes.

When Will and Gino came to this "Pirate Restaurant" again as planned, they found that the house was in a mess from the gate to the inside.

The wooden door that was originally the main entrance of the restaurant had only half a wooden board left, and it was creaking with the breeze.

The original delicate floor in the restaurant is now covered with claw marks, which look like the marks left by some kind of big cat or bear.

A large number of tables and chairs were overturned on the ground. Many tables had lost more than half, and the uneven cuts were full of broken wood stubble.

As for the bar, it’s completely gone.There were large areas of blood and indescribable things on the ground, and the bodies were nowhere to be seen.

Just when Will was a little surprised and wondering what happened before he came in, a burst of footsteps appeared behind him.

"What are you doing here again? Haven't you had enough of the King's meal?"

Will and Gino turned around and saw Jace walking in from outside.

Most of his originally white hair had been dyed black. Jace was shirtless, but there were still some pieces of clothing on the belt around his waist, as if his shirt had been torn.

The original color of the surviving clothes could no longer be seen, and Jace looked as if he had just crawled back from the dead.

"what happened"

Jess didn't answer, he just walked into the kitchen silently, took out a set of cleaning utensils, and started cleaning the restaurant.

The two people standing in the hall suddenly seemed a little redundant.

"Let us help too"

After a while, under the leadership of Jino, the two joined in the cleaning process, and they were busy until midnight.

The cleaned restaurant seemed a bit empty. The damaged tables and chairs had been cleared away. Most of the original exquisite carved floor tiles were broken on the ground, and the fragments were also swept aside.

The only traces of unknown claw marks left on the wall and floor cannot be easily erased.

After cleaning, the three people sat around the few remaining tables and were silent for a long time. Jess finally spoke first:

"Thank you for helping me clean up... A few unsighted gangsters broke in before and made you laugh."

As he spoke, Jace stood up and bowed to Will to their surprise.

"I'm sorry, I mistook you for those pirates who are full of evil, that's why I quoted you such a price."

Upon hearing this explanation, Gino quickly pulled up the bent Jace, while Will asked curiously:

"So this pirate restaurant of yours actually specializes in serving pirates."

"Ah, you can say that I am bored."

Surprisingly, the person in front of him, Jace, who usually looked like a ruthless character, now scratched his cheek somewhat innocently.

Will didn't say anything more. After thinking for a while, he directly extended an olive branch to Jace.

"Jace, are you interested in joining our pirate group? Of course, we are not pirates who rob civilians."

When talking about this issue, Jace, who was originally relatively friendly, suddenly turned cold. It seemed that some bad memories were touched. After a long time, he solemnly refused.

"I'm sorry, I can't follow you out to sea."

Will stared into his eyes for a long moment, then nodded slightly.

"I know, we'll do it again."

After saying that, he stood up and left.Gino quickly followed behind and bowed to say goodbye, then caught up with Will who walked out first.

"Will, are you just giving up? Why don't you try again?"

Will glanced at the bright lights outside the alley and explained casually:

"He won't waver, that look doesn't lie, he has his own reasons."

"Then there is no chance, so we just give up?"

Will still didn't look back, but said calmly:

"Not necessarily. He won't be willing to do it. He has all the abilities and cooking skills, but he can only stay in this alley where only pirates go. He must have some difficulties.

And I said we would go again.”

......

After Will and Gino left, Jace still sat at the previous table, staring at the ceiling in silence.

It had been a long time since he had been back to the sea. To be honest, when Will first invited him, he still had a little desire in his heart.

But soon he solemnly refused. Joining a pirate group is not a game, it is a very serious matter that requires obeying the captain's command and entrusting one's life to others.

Although I have a good impression of the two young people, these alone are not enough.Besides, he had a reason why he had to refuse.

He slowly took out an old photo from his pants pocket, which was a little wrinkled due to the previous battle.

He gently smoothed the wrinkles on the photo with his hands, and the smiling faces of his former companions gradually appeared in the photo.

Jace suppressed the sadness in his heart and slowly put the photos away.

He swore he would avenge them.

After a long time, Jess slowly stood up from the chair and wanted to get up and tidy up the surroundings.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed something like a coupon left on the chair where Will and the others were sitting. He picked it up and read the small words on it carefully:
