The Invincible Mercenary King

Chapter 71

Reign’s eyes glinted a more mysterious light. “I cannot let the cat out of the bag”

“Again? Why do you and Haylan like to play riddles? Tell me, what are you trying to do? Yvonne frowned as she stared at Reign.

She had a feeling that Reign had a secret motive for giving Haylan a promotion and a raise.

Reign shook her head and kept her mouth shut.

Yvonnes heart sank.

Based on her understanding of Reign, when Reign was silem, she must be cooking up a major plan in her mind.

It was very likely that Haylan would be implicated.

Suddenly, she regretted it.

If she had known that such a thing would happen when she invited Haylan over, she would not have let Haylan and Reign

meet

Reign said solemnly. “Vvie, don’t worry. I promise you nothing bad will happen to Haylan

“And I also promise you I’ll make sure that Haylan will come to no harm no matter what happens.”

Haylan had survived unscathed under heavy fire in a foreign war zone. So, Reign didn’t think anyone could hurt Haylan in the city.

Yvonne stared at Reign in silence,

In the living room on the first floor of the villa.

Haylan walked past Lucas, making his way to the door.

“Hmmm…

Lucas mummediately whimpered when he saw Haylan.

Haylan turned his head and asked. “You have something to say?”

Lucas hurriedly nodded.

Haylan touched Lucas’s body rapidly and the latter could speak again.

“Mr. Jaber, wait, I am wrong. Please release the rest of the acupoints for me.” Lucas quickly pleaded.

After standing for just twenty minutes, his heels were in great pain and he couldn’t stand it anymore. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Staying motionlessly was sometimes more tiring than strenuous exercise. He felt as if he could not breathe.

After speaking. Lucas was stunned.

“I can speak now?

“Hayden has released the acupoint and let me speak!

“My god!

“His skill is so amazing. He is just like a martial hero!”

Haylan said, “The acupoints will release automatically after four hours. You’re on your own now.”

With a wave of Haylan hand, a powerful force sucked the silver needles out of Lucas’s acupoints. After that, Haylan left without looking back.

“Four hours?

“Haylan, I’ve realized my mistake. Come back.

“Master, I’ll give you money. Release me.

“Haylan, I won’t harass Queenie anymore. Please come back.”

Lucas’s face darkened as he begged for mercy.

He couldn’t even stand for twenty minutes. If he stood for four hours, he would be crippled.

But no matter how hartl he shouted, Haylan didn’t turn back.

Watching Haylan drive away, Lucas burst into tears.

“I’m screwed!

“How am I going to survive these four hours?

“Haylan, come back!

Just then, Yvonne walked down from the second floor.

“Yvonne, it’s great to see you. Quickly move me to the couch. I want to lie down,” Lucas hurriedly said.

Yvonne’s face fell. Not only did she not move him, but she also found some pushpins and scattered them around Lucas.

Yvonne, what are you doing? Do you want to murder your own brother?” Lucas asked.

“You were rude to Mr. Jaber and you even wanted to run away from home. You deserve to be punished. Just stand here to receive your punishment,” Yvonne said coldly.

With that, she walked upstairs, leaving Lucas to his own devices.

“Yvonne, I’ve realized my mistake, okay? I’m your brother. Can you bear to see me like this?” Lucas shouted.

Unfortunately, Yvonne left without responding to him.

Lucas could only stand there like a monument

In the Ruglane District. By the time ПTaylan reached home, Queenie, Harris, and George had also returned.

“Haylan.”

When they saw Haylan, they all stood up in excitement.

“Boohoo, Haylan, it’s so good to see you.”

Harris and George had not seen him for eight years. Now that they met again, they were both extremely thrilled, especially George.

He immediately pounced over and held Haylan tightly, crying tears of joy.

Even though they had not seen each other for eight years, blood was thicker than water, and when the brothers met, they still feel as close as ever.

Haylan hugged his brother and stroked his hair. He smiled and said, “It’s been a few years since we last met. You’ve grown so much taller.”

Eight years ago. George was just a seven-year-old child who always followed Haylan around.

George had turned into a fifteen-year-old young man in the blink of an eye. And he was only slightly shorter than Haylan.

However, he was a little skinny When Haylan hugged him, he could feel his bones.

Harris also looked thin, but in comparison, he was relatively stouter than George.

Poverty speeds up maturity. Although Harris was only in his second year of high school, he was much more mature and well-mannered than his peer. He just stood right where he was and nodded as he greeted his elder brother, “Haylan”

“Alright. Let’s sit down and have supper.” Haylan said with a smile.

Nothing could please him more than a family reunion.

As he spoke, he looked at Harris and George’s apparel. The sight of it broke his heart.

Both his brothers are wearing shabby clothes. Harris’s sneakers were all tattered, and he had to mend them.

There were also many patches on George’s clothes.

“Yes, let’s have supper together.”

Floris brought out some spaghetti from the kitchen with a smile.

Felicia and Charlie ran over and looked at their son. “Haylan, why are you back so quickly? Where’s Miss Evelyn?”

“I sent her home,” Haylan replied calmly.

Felicia hurriedly pulled Haylan to the side and said. “Haylan, I think Miss Evelyn is a good lady. Why don’t you be together with her and form a family sooner?”

“Mom, I’m not in a hurry. That can wait.” Haylan smiled bitterly.

He thought marriage couldn’t be decided hastily.

His parents were too anxious.

“You’re already 28 years old, how can you wait any longer? Your friend, Caleb Swift, has a second child already. Felicia said.

“I also think that Miss Evelyn is not bad. You can try to interact more with her and get to know her better,” said Charlie.

“Alright, I’ll ask her out in a few days” Haylan said helplessly.

Hearing Haylan’s words, the whole family was delighted.

Seeing that everyone was in a good mood. Haylan immediately suggested. “By the way, tomorrow is the weekend. I’ve earned some money Let’s go shopping and buy some clothes and shoes. Everything is on me.”

“Sure, I want to buy a pair of sneakers” Harris was overjoyed.

“I also want to buy a pair of shoes,” George said.

As he spoke, he looked down at the ragged torn canvas shoes on his feet, and a look of inferiority flashed across his face

His classmates had made fun of him many times because he didn’t have a pair of nice shoes. He always felt that he couldn’t hold his head high in front of others

“Alright, it’s settled then Let’s have a shopping spree tomorrow!” Haylan said.

The next day, after getting up. Haylan checked the balance on his card. His brows puckered when he found that there were only less than ten thousand dollars left

He had withdrawn some cash and keep it at home. But he was going shopping, he couldn’t possibly take a bag which was stuffed with money with him.

In frustrati

Haylan could only borrow I million dollars from Lucy. He didn’t get up until he received the money.

After breakfast, the family waited no time to he to the largest shopping mall in faghrdom Cary.

Haylan’s BMW 5 Series could only accommodate four passengers. So, his parents and both of his sisters went to the mall in his car while has two younger brothers took a cab there

An hour later, the family met up at Ivy Building

the best shopping spot in 1.

hrdom Cary All the famous brands in the world could be found there.

Havlan looked at his parents shabby clothes and felt terrible. Therefore, be immediately took them to one of the best luxury fashion stores to buy a few sets of outfits for his mother first

Clothes make the man.

His parents had been living frugally all their lives. They were wearing clothes that cost less than 20 dollars Everywhere they went, people looked down on them

After he returned, he decided he wanted to make them stand tall in front of their relatives and friends

The luxury fashion store offered a great variety of stylish and elegant des exclusively for the upper class

Every

ment seemed to be made

Felicia had her eyes on a plain long dress

The design of the dress was vintage-inspired and classy. It was especially suitable for middle-aged women like her Moreover, the fabric felt smooth and soft

However Felicia was flabbergasted when she saw the price.

The long dress cost in thousand dollars.

Even gold wasn’t that expensive

“Miss, give me the dress When Haylan saw his mother’s gaze fix on the dress, he immediately called the salesgirl over as he wanted to buy the dress.

“No, no, no. Haylan, this dress is too expensive Felicia hurriedly stopped her son.

She had always been industrious and thrifty It pained her heart if she had to spend 16 thousand dollars on a dress.

As she spoke, she looked longingly at the dress.

For the first time in years, she liked a long dress so much.

However, the exorbitant price fended her off

“Mom, it’s only 16 thousand dollars. We can afford it.” Haylan smiled

He took his mother to a luxury clothing store to change her view on money.

With has current financial ability, he wouldn’t even bat his eyes when buying a 16-million-dollar long dress, let alone 16 thousand This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hey, Felicia, what are you doing here? Why don’t you go sweeping the floor?”

Right then, a fair skin middle-aged woman who was wearing expensive jewels walked over. She glanced at Felicia with disdain and mocked, “Is Chanel fashion store a place for a poor person like you?

“Look at you beggar. You don’t even have anything valuable on you. You’re as poor as a dog, yet you still want to buy a long dress worth 16 thousand dollars. Do you have the money?”

Felicia’s face crumbled when she heard that. “Yasmin, do you have to be so mean?”

Yasmin was Felicia’s cousin from the Labenz family, so she was also Haylen’s auntie. After marrying a rich man, Yasmin always displayed an attitude of patronizing superiority and looked down on Felicia. Every time she attended a family gathering, she would make things difficult for Felicia.

Felicia did not expect to run into Yasmin that day.

What rotten luck. Enemies often cross paths with one another.

“What? I’m mean?”

Yasmin looked at Felicia contemptuously and said, “If I say you’re a poor dog. I’m demeaning a dog. The food for my dog costs a few hundred dollars a pack. Any you? You’re worse than a dog.

“Move out of my way!”

After saying that, she pushed Felicia away rudely and said to the salesgirl beside her, “Miss, I want this dress. Pack it up for

me.”

Haylan’s eyes turned cold when he saw that.
