The waiter looked very embarrassed, and it is estimated that Ivoson has long been on the blacklist of the pizzeria.

I took the change out of my wallet, slipped it into the waiter's hand, and said to him, "Man, take us in, it's not hospitality to stand outside." ”

The waiter was embarrassed and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Aikailam, I didn't mean that. ”

Obviously, the lad didn't want me to use his obstruction as a ploy to get a tip.

"No, you're welcome, you deserve it, after all, you held an umbrella for me. ”

"Alright, please come in with me. ”

Eventually, the service took me and Iverson into the pizzeria.

"Go get me and my companion some dry towels, we're all soaking wet. ”

I said to the waiter as I brushed my hair back to keep the rain from dripping into my eyes.

Iverson looked curiously left and right, and the clean seat left and right, and he was at a loss.

"Yvoson, look here. Yes, look at me. We are here to eat pizza, we are guests, everything here is something we can enjoy, including these tables, chairs and benches, sit well, very comfortable, right? What kind of pizza do you want to eat, just tell the waiter, I will pay for it, don't be afraid, let go of your stomach and eat. ”

It is estimated that Ivoson's favorite words to hear are to let go of his stomach and eat, this sentence made the eyes of the giant man who had been a little nervous light up!

Pulling out two hundred-dollar bills, I asked the waiter to hurry up and serve the pizza, because Iverson was already drooling over the menu, literally, and drooling down the corners of his mouth and onto his chin.

The freshly baked Sicilian pizza is thin, crispy and chewy, and topped with a variety of scary toppings: Canadian pepperoni, salami, crispy bacon, ground beef, ham and red mushrooms.

Ivoson also remembered the first pizza name, Sicilian Pizza.

Iverson was eating and talking to me vaguely, he had eaten pizza before, but it was cold, others didn't want it, and the owner of the pizza shop would occasionally give him some leftovers, but not much.

It was his first time eating hot pizza and he thought it was delicious, better than anything he had ever eaten.

The pizzas were baked one after the other, and even I, tempted by the aroma and Iverson's appearance, ate half of the pizza, you know, I had just returned from the tavern, where I had a pan-fried tuna and a belly of beer.

Looking at Ivoson, who was constantly eating pizza, the owner of the pizza shop was lying on the counter thinking about his thoughts.

I leaned over and compared the cigar in his hand to him: "Hey, man, you won't refuse to smoke a cigar in your shop, will you?"

"I'd kick him out if it was someone else, but you're Mr. Akailam who bought Octopus Island, and I'll smoke one with you. ”

The owner of the pizzeria is a local, and the whole of Seychelles is grateful for my purchase of Octopus Island.

It may be a cultural and historical difference, but the betrayal of the land is a good thing for the people of Seychelles that deserves to be celebrated by all the people.

In fact, Weston calculated for me that it costs me money to buy the island, it costs money to renovate it, and it costs money to spend money on vacation here in the future, and in addition, the repair and maintenance of the island will cost money.

Uh, by the way, the project of transforming the island has indeed been handed over to someone else, but no matter who does the work, they have to eat, they have to replenish supplies, they want to spend money, they want to spend money in Seychelles!

After a bit of fog, I whispered, "Hey, old man, Yvoson is from the island, right? Tell me his story, I'm curious about him." ”

The pizza shop owner looked at him left and right and said, "Hey, where did I put my sesame powder? Damn, I seem to have Alzheimer's." ”

I laughed and said, "Old man, you know I'm rich and have a good relationship with the people on the island, especially with the bureaucrats, well, I know it's just a job, but I can add a clause to the contract for the purchase of Octopus Island, your pizzeria is not allowed to receive tourists, not a single one ......"

Well, for the owner of the pizzeria, he didn't know that the contract for the purchase of the island could not be changed once it had been signed, and the simple Seychellois thought that I, like them, could always make a request to the government.

Hearing this, the pizza shop owner couldn't pretend to be stupid, and he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Aikailam, you are a kind-hearted person, I don't think you will embarrass an old fellow, right?"

I smiled and said, "I just want to know what's going on with Ivoson, he's a good guy, isn't he? But he's not in a good situation, and I want to help him, and the premise of helping him is that I want to know what all this is about!"

In fact, for Iverson, on the way here, I already have my own plans, but I don't dare to use it if it's not clear.

The pizzeria owner glanced at Ivoson, who was still gobbling up, and asked the waiter to deliver another Sicilian pizza, turned his head, and whispered, "It's not a good story, and if I could, I wish it had never happened." ”

Sighing, the pizzeria owner said, "Speaking of Ivoson, you have to say his father, that bastard who deserves to go to hell!"

I don't want to say his name, his surname is Varyag, he is a descendant of pirates, he has a large waist, two meters tall, and is very strong.

But this guy never gets down to business, he likes to fight, get into trouble, bully the weak, in short, in our eyes, he's a complete villain!

Later events proved that he was not as simple as a villain, he was a demon, a demon who deserved to go to hell!

He had a younger sister who was sweet and kind, and everyone liked her, because because of his sister, everyone had to tolerate his evil deeds again and again.

Until one day, his sister disappeared, and the people on the island were very concerned, and Varyag said that his sister ran away with a rich man who came for a tourist and went to live a life of spending and drinking.

Everyone was very happy about this, and even blessed his poor sister, thinking that she had found a good home and no longer had to be dragged down by her brother.

However, two months later, when the police searched a small wooden house where Varyag lived because of a theft of a tourist's luggage, they found his sister. ”

With that, the pizzeria owner took a deep puff of his cigar.

"He killed his own sister?" I asked, frowning. I had a vague idea in my mind, but I didn't want to say it.

"If that's the case, it's a good thing, well, a hundred times better than it is now. ”

The pizzeria owner's cloudy eyes stared at the rain curtain outside the window.

"I remember that it was also raining like this on that day, when the police searched the hut and found a basement with the girl right underneath, and at that time the poor child had gone mad and the Varyag had done something inferior to a beast to her. ”

I was shocked.

"Then Varyag was arrested, and the girl lived in a state of confusion for a few more months, and after giving birth to Ivoson, she rushed into the sea on a stormy night......" The owner of the pizzeria covered his face and said bitterly: "God, how can such a tragedy happen?!"

I now understand why the pizzeria owner was reluctant to say anything when he first asked about Iverson's background.

As if to vent, the pizzeria owner continued, "Do you know the meaning of the name Ivoson? ”

Turning my head to look at Ivoson, who was still eating pizza, I felt my throat dry, as if someone had inadvertently hit me.

I'm afraid it's a shame for the whole Victoria Island, for the whole of Seychelles, to be alive Ivoson.

I didn't ask what happened to Ivoson's father, who would hell if he survived in a place where the rule of law was so often a fixture.

"I'm sorry dude, I shouldn't have asked this, I didn't expect this to happen, I'm sorry. ”

Looking at the pizzeria owner's pained face, that's all I can say.

"No, Mr. Akairam, everyone is curious, and you don't have to be sorry. ”

Glancing at Iverson deeply, maybe this giant man should not be treated like this, after all, he is innocent, but the people here don't see it that way, perhaps, as long as he lives and still wanders around Victoria Island, it is the torture that the islanders have to endure.
