Chapter 3426 Mack's Past

Under the night sky, the dock was alight with bonfires. Men sat on stacks of cargo, their faces beaming with smiles as they enjoyed the evening. Mack had organized a bonfire party at the dock to welcome Matthew, Tertius, and the others. Matthew sat on the edge of the dock with Mack and Tertius nearby. Mack took a skewer of roasted lamb from the fire, carefully turning it over before offering it to Matthew.

"Matteo, buddy, give my cooking a try," Mack said, grinning.

"Thanks, Mr. Mack," Matthew replied, accepting the skewer.

"Don't mention it! We're family now. How's it taste?"

"Great," Matthew nodded approvingly.

Hearing Matthew's praise, pride spread across Mack's face. "Of course! I've had practice, not just with lamb. Back when I was in the mountains, I cooked all sorts-rabbit, wild pheasant, you name it."
