Chapitre 126: Chapter 54: Reunion with Benwei_2

```

"Alright, alright." Benwei responded to Winters helplessly.

There was a moment of silence between the two, only interrupted by the constant croaking of toads in the small pond outside the courtyard,

"I've heard about the dock situation." It was Winters who broke the silence, "Since when did working at the docks require forming gangs?"

Leaning lightly against a tree trunk and gazing into the distance, Benwei said, "It hasn't been that many years. Anyway, back when my dad worked there, it wasn't like this... Essentially, it all boils down to fighting for work. More and more people have been flooding into Sea Blue City over the years. Despite the hard labor, if you have the strength, you can work at the docks, so the competition has become fiercer. Maliciously undercutting others is the least of it; it's common to beat people half to death in the alleys. If you don't band together, you'll get bullied by those who do, forcing you to form your own group."
