Chapter 562: Acker's Concession and Patience!

Docklands——

"Acker! Acker!"

The foreman's shout immediately made Acker stand out from the crowd that had been waiting for a long time.

"Here! Here!"

The graying Acker loudly responded.

Almost sprinting, Alka rushed to the warehouse door.

Edwin glanced at the porter in front of him.

Like the other porters, his skin was darkened, his face full of creases, his body involuntarily bent, and his hands covered in calluses.

Clothes?

There wasn't really anything to speak of as clothes.

They were just rags.

Even though it was winter, there wasn't a proper coat in sight.

Seeing Edwin's examining gaze, Acker immediately revealed a simple smile.

As for starting a conversation?

Acker didn't dare.

He knew his place was just a mere porter, while the sitting Edwin was a big shot—hadn't he seen how the usually proud foreman was nodding and bowing?

Acker would not bring trouble upon himself and his children.
