"Just stay out of this," Marion said.

    Drake suddenly thought back to their childhood. In the slums, Marion was always the quiet one.

    There were many kids. Some swindled, some stole, and others fished for sympathy.

    Drake was the weakest of them all. Begging for food or money was his only option. The other kids bullied him and drove him to the worst ce.

    Marion had been there with him. He had thought Marion was just another weakling. So, he kindly shared his bread with Marion, who didn''t speak or eat it.

    The next day, a kind-hearted person gave him a gold coin, but when the other kids saw it, they beat him up and took it.

    At night, he hid in a haystack and cried alone.

    When Marion came back, he quickly wiped his tears. Marion tossed a gold coin in front of him and sat down in the corner.

    Different from other kids, Marion was always steady andposed.

    He still remembered Marion''s first words to him. It was the third day they had been together.

    By then, he''d been ostracized and had no food left.

    Marion tossed him a piece of bread. "Want it? It''s all yours."

    After that, he started following Marion around, curious about how Marion managed to get all those bread.

    Marion''s method turned out to be quite simple. He took them by force. Even running into older boys, he wasn''t scared in the slightest.

    One day, Drake asked him, "Hey, poker face. Where are your parents?"

    Marion replied, "I don''t have parents."

    "What about your family?"

    "I don''t have any family."

    "You''ve got all these skills. Why are you staying here?"

    Marion stopped in his tracks. There was eyes.
