Chapter 144
Haylan was a very loyal person.
He could never leave his brother behind, nor could he bear to watch his sibling’s life crumble. The bond
between them was unbreakable, and he knew he had to do everything in his power to help
Upon seeing Perry in such a state, he resolved to pull his friend out of the quagmire. With
determination in his heart, he set out to help Perry in any way he could.
Noah was taken aback. “You know about medicine?” he asked, surprised.
He wondered, “What kind of undercover operation is he?
“Did he really know medicine?”
“It’s been eight years, Haylan, and I can’t express my gratitude for your visit,” Perry said with a warm
smile. “Your kindness
means a lot to me.”
His doctor had already given up on his legs. They were beyond repair, and there was no hope left for
them.
Instead, Haylan brought a burst of sunshine into his monotonous life.
For years, he had been leading an incredibly miserable life, abandoned by everyone and left to fend for
himself, all because he had offended Hugh’s nephew. And to make matters worse, after upsetting
Hugh, no one cared about him anymore.
It was a delight for Haylan to come. Having him there was a source of happiness for him.
“I really know medicine, Haylan said.
“Let’s not get into that today. You brought barbecue, right? I haven’t had meat in ages. How about
having dinner with me?” Perry suggested, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the juicy meat.
“Alright” Haylan nodded with tears in his eyes.
Noah arrived and quickly placed everything he had bought on the table, including the barbecue, milk,
beer, and more. He even handed clean bowls and forks to Perry’s parents, making sure they had
everything they needed for the meal.
Despite the stench emanating from a nearby trash station, Perry’s family enjoyed their meal with relish.
The pungent odor was no match for their hearty appetites, and they savored each bite with gusto.
Perry’s father was even more emotional. “Noah, you’re a lifesaver! Every time you come over, we get to
have a proper feast.”
Perry’s mother also added, “A friend in need is a friend indeed. And you, my dear, are Perry’s true
brother”
As they savored their meal, they couldn’t help but let out contented sighs. They were so pleased with
their food that they even carefully wrapped up the bones they had finished and discreetly stowed them
away.
“Mr. and Mrs. Felicia, why are you hiding these bones?” Haylan frowned.
“For boiling soup.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerry’s mother beamed and exclaimed, “Noah is such a busy man. He can only come visit four times a
month. But let me tell you, before he arrives, our house is completely bare! We’re out of oil, out of salt.
We’re out of everything! That’s why we use these bones to make some soup to nourish Perry’s body”
“These chicken bones are delicious!”
Upon hearing this, Haylan immediately felt suffocated. The weight of it all seemed to press down on his
chest.
He had expected Perry to have a tough life, but he never could have predicted just how hard it truly
was.
He took a deep breath and spoke in a low, rumbling voice. These bones won’t cost you an arm and a
leg. You can trot on over to the next village and come back with them in a jiffy”
Upon hearing the news, Perry’s family and Noah were left speechless. The weight of the situation hung
heavily in the air, and a palpable tension filled the room.
“What’s wrong” Haylan asked.
“You’d be surprised to know that many years ago, Hugh’s nephew issued a death threat. He dispatched
someone to keep a watchful eye on Perry’s family. If they even thought about leaving the mountain,
they’d send their thug to rough them up.”
Haylan heard Noah whisper in his ear, “They’re trying to trap Perry here and make him wish he was
dead.”
Haylan’s expression darkene he exclaimed, “This is outrageous!”
He clent hed has fists and gurgled, his anger bubbling to the surface like a volcano. His frustration was
palpable, radiating off
of him in waves
As they entered the village, a few young men couldn’t help but stare at them. It was no wonder, with

It turned out that those people were monitoring them.
“What happened is done. If you’re looking to point fingers, blame me for overestimating myself. I didn’t
have the resources to compete. I brought this upon myself”
Perry smiled wryly and turned to Haylan, “Hey, Haylan, I’m sure you’ve been through a lot these past
few years. You’ve caten now, so you should head out soon.
Haylan looked at the wounds on Perry’s body and asked, “Were these new injuries also inflicted by
them?”
Perry’s face twisted in anger. “Haylan, enough with the questions,” he said sharply.
Haylan fell silent, took out a cigarette, and lit it before taking a long drag. His face was gloomy, and the
smoke he exhaled mixed with the tense atmosphere in the room.
Whenever Noah was angry or troubled, he reached for a cigarette. The smell of nicotine served as both
a stimulant and a sedative for him, helping him to calm down and find some peace of mind.
The hotter his temper got, the more he craved a cool–down.
After a minute of consideration, Haylan came to a decision. “Grab your things and come with me,” he
said.
He thought. “This is a quagmire!
“I wouldn’t let my brother get stuck in that mess, no matter what!”
“Haylan, thank you for your kindness, but I just can’t leave,” Perry said with a bitter smile.
Despite Haylan’s insistence, he refused to follow him.

enemies.
To ensure his parents‘ safety, he had no choice but to make a compromise. He weighed the options
and decided that it was better to give in than to put them in danger. After all, family comes first.
“Don’t worry,” said Haylan coolly, “I’ll help you deal with the fact that someone’s watching you later.”
“Haylan, I appreciate you being here, but please don’t get involved. We don’t stand a chance against
them,” Perry said with a pained expression.
Once upon a time, he was as determined as Haylan to overcome those forces, feeling as though
victory was within his grasp. With each passing moment, he grew more resolute and focused on his
goal, never wavering in the face of adversity.
He was willing to go to great lengths, even cutting himself to pieces, and had the audacity to take down
Robert.
Unfortunately, the harsh truth of it all
1 him straight in hell.
He had witnessed many dark sides and faced the depths of hell. The drive in his heart had long been
extinguished, leaving behind only fear for Hugh and his comrades.
He was already in this state, and he didn’t want to see Haylan follow in his footsteps.
Haylan took a long drag of his cigarette and fixed Perry with a steely gaze. “Don’t worry, Perry. I’m not
the same person I was eight years ago. Those people can’t touch me now,” he said, his voice cold and
unyielding.
“I’m going to make a call. You guys pack your stuff. I’m getting you out of this mess right now, said he
with determination.
Noah whipped out his phone and dialed Lucy. He needed her help to find a place for Perry and his
family to settle. With a sense of urgency, he described the situation and pleaded for her assistance.
Lucy, always ready to lend a hand, listened patiently and promised to do everything in her power to
make it happen.
Perry’s parents exchanged a glance, but they were hesitant to start packing up their belongings.
Noah gritted his teeth and said, “Haylan is right. Mr. and Ms. Felicia, this is no way to live. You have to
leave!”

was so powerful, it left him feeling invigorated and inspired
Facing the lifeless Perry’s family, Noah couldn’t bear it any longer.
Noah didn’t wait for Perry’s family to react before he helped them pack their clothes.
“Noah, are you out of your mind? We couldn’t beat them before, and now we’re all injured and
vulnerable. Fighting them now is like asking for death! Your family will be dragged into this mess again”

pleaded with tears in his eyes. “Noah. I implore you. Thus is all my fault 1 should be the one bearing
this punishment. Not only that. Ive also led your family to ruin. You mustrit end up like me.
“Please, just put it down.”
He gazed at Noah with tears in his eyes and a look of guilt on his face. He was writhing in agony.

Noah opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything. Haylan walked over and swiftly
knocked Perry unconscious with a chop.
Noah was stunned.
“He’s terrified and has lost his will to fight. It’s a nuisance to stay awake.”
Haylan took a long drag of his cigarette before declaring, “Come on, pack your bags and lend a hand to
Mr. and Mrs. Felicia later. I’ll help carry him out myself.”
With that, he walked out of the greenhouse.
Noah asked, “Where are you headed?”
“Get some lackeys over here,” said Haylan.
Noah was feeling puzzled when suddenly beams of light shone over.
In no time, thirteen intimidating young men strutted over with an air of aggression.
As soon as Noah and Perry’s parents laid eyes on them, terror filled their faces.
These were the gangsters who had trapped Perry’s family on the mountain. They were subordinates of
Hugh’s nephew.
As soon as they arrived, it was clear that trouble was brewing. These folks weren’t here to make
friends, they were here to make mischief.
At this moment, the young man leading the pack stared fiercely at Haylan. “Kid, it won’t be so easy for
you to take him away!” His ferocity was palpable, and the tension in the air was thick enough to cut with
a knife.
Haylan stubbed out his cigarette and glared at him with cold eyes. “You’re so arrogant. Did you hit my
brother and his parents?”
Tll give you a chance. Kneel down and kowtow to them to apologize. I’ll spare your lives!” the man
exclaimed, his voice booming with authority.
