âDo you have the superpower to protect me? Haylan said.
âHuh?â Reign was stunned.
âNothing. I spouted nonsense on a whim. Continue.â Haylan smiled.
Reignâs face darkened. She glared at Haylan and said, âI said. Iâve decided to protect you!
âTherefore, stay in my office and donât come out no matter what happens. I will take care of sending away the Muller familyâs people.
âAs a condition, no matter what happens from now on, you have to stand on my side. How about that?â
Throughout Lightdom City. Reign was the one who understood best how powerful Haylan was.
She had recently encountered some trouble. A super killer that even Landon could not kill had his eyes on her Therefore, she really needed Haylanâs help.
âIs this considered a trade?â Haylan asked.
âThatâs right.â
âAlright, dealâ
Haylan stood up and shook Reignâs hand.
âThe Muller family should be here soon. Sit here. Iâll go out and deal with themâ
Reign and Haylan shook hands and turned to walk out the door. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and asked. âDid you teach Larry to pursue me previously**
In the past, Reign found Larry quite repulsive, and there wasnât a single thing she found appealing about him.
In the past few days. Larry had undergone significant changes, almost as if he had become a different person. He had done many things that pleased Reign, leaving her feeling satisfied. That was why she considered giving hurn a chance to have a proper conversation and sit down together.
According to her investigation, Larry had a meeting with Haylan before such a change occurred.
âYes, but after I realized he wasnât a good match for you, I beat him up. Donât worry. He wonât bother you anymoreâ Haylan said.
Reignâs eyes turned cold, and she spoke with a firm tone. âFrom today onwards, stay out of my personal life! Donât you to meddle in matters that donât concern you again!â
Reign opened the door and walked out. She said to the female secretary. âLock it from the outside.
Donât let him out.â
With that, she left dare Reign was very considerate. She knew that Haylan would not stay put obediently. Even if Haylan was locked in the office, he might still think of ways to come out Only when Haylan was thoroughly trapped did he refrain from causing any further trouble. This allowed Reign to have the time to negotiate with the members of the Muller family.
Moreover, now that so many important figures of the Muller family had come over, they were definitely going to skin Haylan alive!
Locking Haylan in her office was also a form of protection for Haylan The secretary immediately took out a lock and locked CEOâs office door from the outside before following Reign.
âMeddling in matters that donât concern me? Well, if Larry can truly change, then you two would actually make a good couple.
In the office, Haylan smiled. He sat up and sat in Reignâs seat again. He crossed his legs and felt what it was like to be a boss Then, he took out a packet of coffee from Reignâs drawer and prepared to brew a pot of coffee.
After opening the drawer, he saw a photo. He could not help but be stunned and take it out.
The photo showed Reign with a man.
The man was very old. His beard and hair were gray, and he looked 70% similar to Reign. His smile was amiable, and he hugged Reignâs shoulder intimately.
âReignâs father?â
Haylan looked at the photo with a puzzled expression Why did Reign put away such a good photo and put it in a drawer?
Could it be the relationship between Reign and her father had broken down?
Haylan thought for a moment and put the photo back.
No matter what, this was Reignâs private matter. He could not pry into other peopleâs secrets.
However, he found another one after putting the photo back into the drawer. It was hidden in the document, with only a corner exposed.
The photo made Haylanâs face darken.
In the photo was a pair of shines!
These were the shoes that he had worn before!
Haylan immediately took out the photo and was stunned again.
It was a photo of him and Reign!
To be exact, Reign had secretly taken that photo with her phone.
In the photo, Haylan was wearing special shines and his previous clothes. He was standing behind Reign and looking into the distance with cold and vigilant eyes âWhen did she take the photo?â Haylan frowned.
As Sovereign of Shadows, he had never exposed his identity, nor had anyone secretly taken photos of him.
Although he did not reveal his identity when escorting Reign, Reign still had his photo. This was not a good thing.
If the photo were leaked one day, he would be investigated. Then, the enemy might find out the identity of the Sovereign of Shadows Just as Haylan was about to tear the photo, he felt some writing on the back of it. He immediately turned the photo around to examine it On the back of the photo was a neat and imposing line of words that said, âHeroes are not defined by their origins. At this moment, he is my hero!
âIf I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay him!â
The strokes flew with elegance and power, moving like a graceful river.
This line of words captured the essence of fluidity and strength.
âI didnât expect her writing looks pretty nice,â Haylan thought.
He thought for a moment and did not tear up the photo. Instead, he put it back.
The fact that Reign could develop the photo meant that she must have backups of it on her phone or computer. Ripping it apart would be pointless.
When Haylan put it back, he didnât notice that there was another photo under it.
The photo was flipped over and was written. âMy beloved was a legendary hero, and there would come a day when he would. arrive to marry me, riding upon a magnificent rainbow cloud.
âHowever, even without the rainbow cloud, it wouldnât matter. Coming to marry me in camouflage attire seems quite nice On the front of the photo was the scene of Haylan healing Reign.
Unfortunately, Haylan did not see that photo. He had already closed the drawer with the coffee in his hand.
Haylan brewed a pot of coffer. He sat on the sofa and tasted it carefully. Satisfied, he sighed. âGood coffee is indeed exceptional. The aftertaste is marvelous.
âThey should be talking now. I can go out.â
After drinking half a pot of coffee, Haylan looked at the time and felt it was about time. He immediately stood up and walked out of the door.
As a man, he had always taken responsibility for his own actions.
He had brought the trouble upon himself by brutally assaulting Larry. It was his responsibility to face the consequences. He could not let Reign resolve the matter for him while he cowardly hid away like a turtle.
Haylan enjoyed the coffee just now to wait for the right time for the people from the Labenz family and the Muller family to gather.
Now that the time was right, everyone must have arrived. He naturally had to go out and clean up his mes However, when Haylan tried to open the door, he was stunned.
The door was locked!
âAre you locking me up to protect me?â
Haylanâs face darkened Looking through the crack in the door and seeing the lock on the outside, he felt as if he were being held captive.
He knew Reign wanted to keep him here to prevent the Muller family from finding him and attacking him.
was a form of protection and imprisonment.
To put it bluntly, Reign did not believe in Havlanâs ability. She telt Haylan would be completely torn apart by the Muller family Reign, in the end, had underestimated him.
âThis woman.
Haylan looked at the lock and sighed. He said calmly. âShe has been with me for about a month.
She should know something about my abilities. Does she really think that a mere lock can trap me?â
