Flying rapidly all the way, Evan soon returned to Bolton City.

The cloaked figure quietly landed on the hillside of the western suburbs of Gooding Street.

Then Evan walked briskly on the muddy road all the way back to Gooding Street.

Gooding Street, which has completely entered summer, is much more lively than winter.

Children wearing cool summer clothes can be seen everywhere on the street screaming and running around.

Some children stared at the roadside stalls, thinking of taking advantage of the crowds to steal some food to satisfy their appetites.

Some children climbed all the way up the rusty iron pipe.

eliciting shocked approval and compliments from the children below.

Some children, led by some slightly older children, were running around on the street.

Or go to the grass on the outskirts of the city to catch bugs.

Or competing to see who can catch more rats from the sewers.

Seeing these scenes, Evan couldn't help but think of his own youth.

At that time, he was running around on this street under the leadership of Albert.

While thinking, he passed by Albert's home pharmacy.

It can be seen that Albert's death did not bring any insurmountable Shadow to this family.

Albert himself is not the eldest son in the family, he has two older brothers.

Secondly, although he is the most promising, he is also the most worried and tiring for his parents.

At the beginning, for those so-called dignity, it brought a huge burden to the family.

It seemed that with his death, the entire family was relieved of some kind of burden and calmly accepted the fate of being stuck in Gooding Street forever.

Evan came back looking well-dressed but with muddy shoes.

Albert's father Kaus said with warning.

"Arkham! Don't always care about these illusory dignity!"

"Those rich kids who only know how to make fun of people are not the kind of people like us that we can fawn over."

The drugstore owner, who is now almost 50 years old, has a stooped figure and gray hair.

The upper body is wearing a White Shirt with sweat-soaked armpits, and the lower body is wearing a pair of short-leg pants.

The glasses are stuck in the middle of the bridge of the nose, and the whole person feels relieved and relaxed.

Kaus looked at Evan's embarrassed Leather Shoes, and thought that Evan also went to curry favor with those rich kids, and was teased by them.

Although the destruction of Phoenix Brotherhood in the report of the Authorities has a role of Evan.

However, there are no relevant reports involving Evan injuring Albert.

According to the information obtained by Kaus and his wife, the person who killed Albert was Dennis who disliked him for being in the way.

That is, the eldest brother he has always fawned over.

This made Kaus not only not have any hatred towards Evan, but also developed a kind of elder care because Evan often came to his house to play when he was a child.

It seems that every time I see Evan, I can think of my own child who was able to get into a prestigious university but didn't worry at all.

Evan grinned and said, "Thank you uncle for your concern."

"I just went to the mountains to find some herbs that can repel mosquitoes."

Hearing this, Kaus fanned himself a few times with the newspaper in his hand. "Mosquitoes in summer are really annoying!"

"Anyway, listen to your uncle and stay away from those rich people!"

Evan smiled and nodded, returning to the lively Gooding Street.

Just when Evan had just returned to the downstairs of his home, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That is a Square Face Burly Man with a calm, reserved and strong temperament.

It's summer, still wearing a decent black suit.

Although the suit was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, it did not affect Burly Man's dignity and composure at all.

This person is none other than Garp, the former personal bodyguard of Eldin.

At this time, Garp was leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette and chatting with Old Tom, the shoe repairman on the first floor.

"Garp Brother, long time no see, why are you here?"

After Evan saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile on his face.

Garp said with a hearty smile after seeing Evan coming back.

"It seems that Miss Intuition is quite accurate."

"I was also thinking that with your background, you should be busy during the summer vacation, and you should be working outside now."

"I didn't expect that after just a few minutes of waiting, I would wait for you back!"

Today is already June 22nd.

The final exam for the freshman year was successfully completed on June 20th.

Then we entered about 10 weeks of summer vacation, and school didn't start until September.

After Evan heard this, he raised his eyebrows. "Miss Hurst?!"

Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Does it mean that I can earn a few U.S. Dollar in one day's work?"

Garp held Evan's shoulders and laughed.

"This time it's not just a few U.S. Dollar!"

While the two were talking, Evan took out the key and followed Garp down the stairs to Evan's home.

The once old room has been renovated and renovated.

The wall that was previously covered with old newspapers was painted with a layer of gray paint.

It squeaked when stepped on, and the warped floors were replaced with brand new Brown Oak floors.

Old rusty water pipes were replaced with new ones.

The porcelain washbasins that have accumulated dirt for more than ten years have also been replaced with the latest models.

It can be said that the entire house is brand new from the inside out.

This is the result of Evan in the past two months.

In order to save money, he just bought the materials himself, and then relied on his strong strength to renovate it himself.

He just renovated the entire home and kept all the previous furniture intact as a reminder.

Especially the bed, which is full of one's own smell and makes strange noises, is an important item to preserve among the old objects.

First let Garp sit down, Evan poured a cup of hot water from the kettle, then put a few tea leaves in it and handed it over.

"Brother Garp, if you have anything to do, please ask Jack to come to me. Come here in person. It must be something important, right?"

Garp nodded. "I heard that you have been inquiring about shipping news recently."

Evan blinked. "How did you know?"

Garp laughed and said, "Don't you have a big brother named Richard?"

"That guy and a few people have been inquiring about ocean convoy work recently."

"And we, Hurst family, have related ocean-going business and ships."

"The Wild Hunt Security Company you formed has a pretty good reputation in the Nobility circle recently."

"This will naturally reach my ears."

Evan smiled and scratched his head, "Brother Garp is still as well-informed as ever!"

Garp took a sip of tea, not dissatisfied with the poor quality of the tea in it, and then sent out an invitation.

"If you want to step into this circle, now is a good opportunity."

Evan immediately leaned forward and asked curiously.

"How to say?"

Garp played with the water glass and said casually.

"With the summer comes a serious Plague and humanitarian crisis over there at South America."

"The charity organization led by Congressman Hurst is preparing to provide humanitarian assistance there."

"There will be 4 cargo ships filled with medical supplies heading to South America."

"At the same time, Representative Hurst also contacted Sage University."

"Sage University is willing to send some graduating medical students, as well as chemistry and biology-related students to provide voluntary assistance."

"Although I had no money to help in the past, I could accumulate extra class hours."

Having said this, Garp looked at Evan.

"Your boy is very reliable in his work. Now, as a freshman, he has made an exception to have an internship at Medical School in advance. He is from the Chemistry Department!"

"Our lady will also go to South America this time to provide condolences and charity relief."

"She will not do it in the name of the Family, but in the name of student Sage University."

"So at this time, it is very important to have a classmate who is by her side at all times and who is strong and reliable enough."

Evan After hearing this, his face was full of excitement.

"Is there such a good thing? Why haven't I heard anything about it?"

Garp smiled and said, "It's strange that you can hear the wind."

"This matter is led and led by Hurst family. The relevant matters were finalized just yesterday, and plans and personnel are being formulated."

Evan heard this and let out a surprised expression on his face.

Garp took another sip of tea and continued.

"You should also know that the distance between North America and South America is not very close. A lot of things may happen during the 10-day voyage."

"So naturally we have to hire some trustworthy security personnel."

"Wild Hunt Security Company where you are located, we have conducted relevant tests and evaluations in the past half month."

"It can be said that your elder brothers are just as trustworthy and reliable as you."

"When I was looking for you, relevant personnel from the Merchants' Association had also gone to your company and issued relevant invitations."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down in terms of commission."

Evan sighed happily, "Brother Garp, you are a good person!"

"I was right to follow you."

Due to this parallel world, a large number of sectors in the entire East Asia disappeared due to the Ascension problem of First Emperor.

This caused the shape of other continents to change as well.

The first one to bear the brunt was Australia, whose position continued to drift to the north and east for a considerable distance.

It is now located in the south-south center of the Pacific Ocean.

In contrast, the South America and North America mainlands were also completely cut off due to the related Chain Reaction.

The entire South America area moves toward the southwest.

Today, the closest distance between the two continents is almost 1,800 nautical miles.

A sea area called [Central American Ocean] is formed in the middle.

Based on the current voyage of steam turbine cargo ships, taking relevant factors into account, a one-way voyage is expected to take between 10 and 13 days.

Under this cycle, the trade route between South America and North America is quite popular.

Naturally, a lot of unstable factors have arisen in the process.

After all, in this world with the power of Beyonder, there are always some people who want to get rid of all constraints and embrace their own desires and Bestiality.

And that Sea, which has no rules and is vast, is often their best choice.

Garp laughed and said, "I have always admired people who value love and justice and are reliable."

"These people deserve more trust and more benefits."

"Otherwise, when people think that they can gain more benefits only by being unscrupulous, the trust between people will completely collapse."
