บท 310: The only thing I got from you

"Do I regret refusing your offer that night? It would sometimes cross my head, but I don't. I wouldn't meet the man who gave me this opportunity and handed me this organization if I wasn't behind maximum prison, after all."

Rocco came from nothing. He was but a person who relied on himself to get himself out of crippling poverty. He crawled his way out of that life, working hard and studying to get a degree, hoping he would live a comfortable life.
