Mr. Wade's acquaintance with Poli originated from Poli's most famous battle.
At that time, Poli was just a street kid looking for work at the station, and the term "street kids" in Golden Port City was just a general label; in fact, they were divided into several groups.
For example, there were groups like the Port District Gang and the Industry District Gang, and each district had not just one but many gangs, which is still the case today.
At the station and the docks, you could still see many youths wearing peaked caps, carrying coarse fabric sacks, scrambling for odd jobs everywhere.
According to current Federation law, children ten years of age and older can be employed in non-hazardous industries, which is one of the main ways for capitalists to reduce labor costs.
The salary for an adult was enough for them to hire two children, and Federation law also stipulated that work hours of up to ten hours were considered reasonable and legal.
