Chapter 399 Brotherhood Among Riders

Gary broke down completely. He slammed his helmet to the ground, screaming through tears that this. cold city chewed people up and spit them out. He wanted to quit the job for good and head back home.

A heavy gloom settled over the alley. The older riders sighed quietly, none daring to step in and comfort him. Everyone knew exactly how he felt-this line of work was always full of unfair grievances no one could escape.

Eric did not sigh.

He strode over, picked up Gary’s cracked helmet, brushed off the dust with his sleeve, then sat down right beside him. His broad palm rested gently on Gary’s trembling shoulder.

“Why are you crying? You’re a grown man in your twenties, bawling like a kid?” Eric reached into the delivery box on his electric bike, pulled out an ice-cold Coke, popped the can open with one hand, and pressed it into Gary’s grasp.

“And listen up-we’ve got nearly fifty of us working this zone. If every one of us passes him two easy close-by orders, we can cover his loss together! We got his back, rightf

“Hell yeah we do!” Fly was the first to stand and shout his support.

“Count me in, whatever Eric says!”

“It’s nothing more than an extra run or two!”

“Ain’t right for Eric to cover it alone-I’m in too.”

“Me too.”

One after another, more than 30 riders voiced their agreement. Their voices echoed down the narrow lane, carrying the same loyal, stand-together spirit of outlaws standing up for one another.

Gary stared at these strangers who’d stepped up for him without a second thought, and tears streamed down his face again. This time, they were not tears of grievance-they were tears of gratitude.

Eric ruffled his hair with a warm smile. “Remember this. As long as you wear this uniform, you’re never alone. If the sky falls, I’m taller-I’ll take the hit first. Dry your eyes. Take all the time you need to cool off but don’t let this break you.”

Gary nodded quickly. “I’m okay, Eric. It was never really about the money. It’s just how unfair it felt-I couldn’t wrap my head around it at first.”

“That’s life. You’ll meet all kinds of people out there. Just focus on staying decent yourself. Don’t carry everyone else’s cruelty on your own shoulders.”
