The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 294

Landon glanced at Haylan and speechlessly thought, “He’s really powerful, but it’s a pity that he

doesn’t have taste.

“He didn’t trade his EQ for his power, right?”

Reign really went all out to support Haylan, even risking her own and her family’s reputation. This was

a gesture of great loyalty.

Moreover, Reign was a peerless beauty. Her looks were stunning and breathtaking.

If someone truly wanted to thank Reign, the typical way that most men would think of was to invite her

to a meal as a gesture of appreciation. However, instead of doing that, Haylan came over with several

pieces of cured meat to express his gratitude.

Landon thought, “What a weirdo!

“What does he take Reign for?

“A glutton?”

When Reign saw those pieces of cured meat, her eyes showed a hint of surprise. However, she quickly

smiled and accepted the meat. “Alright, I’ll take these pieces of cured meat,” she said. “I happen to be

craving for some meat recently. Is there anything else?

“If there’s nothing else, I need to go to a meeting now.”

“There’s nothing else,” Haylan said. “I just wanted to give you something to express my gratitude. I

personally marinate these pieces of cured meat. They taste really good,”

“You can leave it there,” Reign said. “I’ll stir-fry the meat and eat it when I get back at noon.”

Reign smiled, organized her documents, stood up, and said, “You can chat with Mr. Katz. I’m going to a

meeting now.”

After pausing for a moment, she turned around to look at Haylan and said, “Don’t forget, accompany

me on a business trip in a few days.”

With that, she took the documents and left the office.

Haylan put down the cured meat and turned to look at Landon. Then, he

said. “Mr. Katz, why do I feel that Ms. Labenz seems a little unhappy? What’s going on?”

Landon was left speechless. He glanced at Haylan speechlessly.

Landon thought. “As a woman, even if it were me, I wouldn’t be happy to receive cured meat as a

thank-you gift!

“What else was going on?

“Don’t you know that?”

He complained silently in his mind, but did not show it on his face. He walked over to the sofa and sat

down. Then, he made a cup of coffee for Haylan and said, “Mr. Jaber, do you think Ms. Labenz is

beautiful?”

“She’s beautiful!” Haylan said sincerely.

The beauty of Reign was among the top ten of all the beautiful women he had seen.

Moreover, Reign was also the wealthiest person in Lightdom City. Her assets surpassed those of the

Richards family and the Zabel family. She was like the legendary young wealthy woman with fair skin

and beauty.

Landon sighed and said. “Actually, she’s also a pitiful person.”

Haylan sat down and took a sip of coffee. He did not say anything.

After waiting for a long while and not hearing any response from Haylan, Landon said gloomily, “Aren’t

you curious?”

“I’m curious,” Haylan said.

“Why didn’t you ask then?” Landon said.

Haylan put down his coffee cup and looked at Landon with a puzzled expression. “You suddenly

brought up Ms. Labenz, so you must be going to tell me her life story,” Haylan said. “Am I not waiting

for you to tell me?”

Landon was left speechless.

He made himself a cup of coffee and drank it in one gulp. After organizing his thoughts, he said, “I’m

Ms. Labenz’s bodyguard and her godfather. I’ve watched her grow up since she was young.

Godfather?

In this era, it was not appropriate to say that because it could easily be misinterpreted.

If the word “godfather” was pronounced with a different intonation, there would be a big problem.

Haylan was left speechless.

Landon seemed to be immersed in his memories. He sighed again and said, “Reign has always been

very lonely. She hasn’t had many friends. since she was young. Now that she is in this position, she

faces many struggles and challenges, including open fighting and secret scheming. It is very tough for

her.”

“Indeed, she has to face a lot of difficulties in her position,” Haylan said as he nodded.

The Mapleturz Group was a behemoth that dominated a significant. portion of the legitimate business

landscape in Lightdom City. Its daily. profits were ridiculously high.

As the head of the Labenz family, Reign earned a considerable amount. of wealth.

This position naturally attracted a lot of attention from many people.

This was especially the case for Philip, who probably dreamed of toppling Reign so that he could take

her place as the head of the Labenz family.

After pausing for a moment, Haylan continued. “In order to attain a position of power, one must be

willing to endure the challenges and responsibilities that come with it. It’s normal for Ms. Labenz to face

such challenges.”

Landon nodded in agreement.

Over the years, he had seen all the hardships that Reign had endured. He felt tremendous heartache

for her.

“However, Ms. Labenz has a lot of resources and plenty of funds,” Haylan said. “She shouldn’t be

considered a pitiful person.”

Reign’s achievements certainly made her a successful person and a cut above the rest. She had

reached a pinnacle that many people could never reach in their lifetime.

How could such a person be pitiful?

“Don’t assume that she’s not pitiful just because she’s very successful.” Landon said. “As she holds a

high position, she has to deal with a lot of challenges and difficulties, both obvious and hidden. This

results in her having very few friends.”

“Why must she hold onto this position and not let go then?” Haylan said. “If she were to step down from

her current position of power, she would still be considered successful.”

“That’s because she wants to hold onto this position, guard the Labenz family, and wait for her father to

return,” Landon said.

“Her father?” Haylan said.

“This is the reason I said that she’s pitiful,” Landon said. “Since Ms. Labenz was young, her mother

was seriously ill. Her father is my sworn brother. He went missing when he went to seek medicine for

Ms. Labenz’s mother. Ms. Labenz was very young at that time.

“Before he left, my sworn brother left a message for Reign, asking her to take good care of her mother

and her younger brother. He promised to come back.

“But, three years ago, her mother passed away due to a serious illness. Her younger brother was

admitted to the ICU because of a serious illness.”

“Younger brother?” Haylan said. He was stunned again.

“Reign has a younger brother?” Haylan thought.

Landon nodded and said, “Yes. her younger brother also contracted the same strange illness as her

mother. His condition is very serious and he is in a coma. He is currently in the ICU. Every day, a large

amount of money is needed to keep him alive.

“That’s why she wants to hold onto this position and earn a lot of money. She will then be able to save

her brother’s life by paying for his medical

treatment.

“What kind of strange illness is it?” Haylan asked. “Which hospital is he in?”

Landon sighed and said, “He is in a hospital overseas.

“The medical standard in the country is not advanced enough to treat that kind of strange illness. A

year ago, Ms. Labenz transferred her brother to a hospital overseas for treatment. Every day, a large

amount of money is needed for his medical expenses.

“But unfortunately, his condition hasn’t improved.

“Most importantly, the other party treated Ms. Labenz’s younger brother out of respect for Mapleturz

Group and the Labenz family, ensuring that her brother’s illness is under control.

“If Ms. Labenz is no longer the CEO, the hospital there may revoke the treatment for her brother.

“That’s why she’s trying so hard to keep her position.

“Over the years, other than Yvonne and me, no one has supported Ms. Labenz. However, in terms of

business, there is very little we can do to help her.

“All these years, she has been the only one navigating the business world, putting in much more effort

than others and enduring much pain. That’s why she has built herself a cold exterior to conceal her

fragility.”

Upon hearing this, Haylan fell into a long silence.

He did not expect that Reign would have such a life experience.

Haylan drank some coffee and asked, “In which hospital is Ms. Labenz’s brother being treated?”

“Massach General Hospital at Whileal Kingdom,” Landon said. “This is the best hospital in the world.

Only they can save Ms. Labenz’s younger brother’s life.”

Haylan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, “Can we get access to her brother’s medical

records? I want to take a look.”

Landon was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, “Sure. I’ll arrange it immediately!”

He knew that Haylan’s medical skills were amazing, which made everyone in the Zabel family admire

him and address him as “Mr. Jaber the divine healer”.

If Haylan were to treat Reign’s younger brother, he might be able to gi her younger brother a chance of

survival.
