Chapter 653: Buried them in my backyard

Fishing was unlike any other sport that the young men would expect, as it required a lot of patience, good timing, and fierce competition. It was also a great hobby for relaxation and pleasure. After several rounds of competition to see who had the most catches, the men created a bonfire by the shore to enjoy the fruits of their hard work.

"This is so good," Slater remarked as he ate the fish roasted by Hugo. "Second Brother, I didn't know you could actually cook."

Hugo smirked proudly, seated on the same log as his third brother. "No one cooks for us on the battlefield, in case you don't know that."

"Wow... I'm so proud of myself for choosing a better career."

"But Second Brother, this is great! Good job!" Slater beamed as he continued eating the food his second brother prepared for everyone, a consequence of having the least catches.

Hugo, after all, didn't have many catches after his first one. Even when he did, they were just small fishes. As for the rest, they caught a lot more. Charles got the most catches, followed by Haines. Zoren caught a few, but they were big. However, compared to the older and more experienced men, it was still not

enough.

"Unbelievable." Hugo shook his head before chugging down his cold bottle of

beer.

Meanwhile, Zoren was quietly enjoying the fish when Haines suddenly sat down beside him. He had been seated across from Slater and Hugo, with the small bonfire between them. Charles was standing far away, as he had called his wife to brag about his victory.

"Good job today," Haines said to Zoren, earning a small smile from him. "Did you have fun?"
