Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Following those words, Haylan appeared behind Lucas. He was staring at Lucas with a vicious look in his eyes..

Haylan’s murderous aura suddenly swept across Lucas, almost engulfing him.

“Who is that?”

Lucas felt goosebumps all over his body.

He hurriedly turned his head and happened to meet Haylan’s eyes, At that moment, Lucas felt as if he was staring into the face of the god of death who had risen from a sea of corpses. His whole body trembled.

Lucas was so frightened that he fell to the ground with his mouth wide open. His lips trembled, but he could not say a word.

Haylan’s gaze was icy cold. A murderous look was in his eyes as he stared down at Lucas like a predator watching his prey.

Moreover, Haylan’s terrifying aura made Lucas feel even more horrified.

“Lucas!”

When Lucas’s followers saw him collapse, they were startled and rushed over to help him up to his feet.

“Asshole, how dare you speak to Lucas like that? Do you want to die?” A male student glared angrily at Haylan.

However, when he saw the look in Haylan’s eyes, he also staggered in fright and fell to the ground.

Haylan was too terrifying.

Earlier, Haylan had been feeling guilty about his family. After seeing his sister get bullied at school, he flew into a rage and decided to intervene.

At the moment, Haylan was giving off a terrifying and murderous aura that everyone around him.

could pick up on.

As youngsters with limited experience, none of them had encountered someone so scary.

Lucas was so scared that he did not dare say a word.

However, he eventually asked in a trembling voice, “Who, who are you? I’m warning you, this is a school institution. If you hurt me, you will not get away with it.”

Haylan glared at Lucas and enunciated each word he spoke carefully. “I’m warning you, if you dare lay a single finger on Queenie, you will end up like this.”

After speaking. Haylan slammed his fist into a stone figurine outside the school gate.

Smash!

The stone instantly smashed into pieces.

The dust from the stone breaking billowed out around them.

“Oh, my God.”

After witnessing this scene, Lucas and the other students were all wide-eyed and had turned pale from fright.

Haylan had smashed the stone into pieces with just one punch. If his target had been a person, it 18:45 D would have meant certain death.

At that thought, the students immediately shuddered.

They wondered if Haylan was even human.

He seemed more like a monster than anything.

Queenie also had a horrified look on her face. She took a step back in fright and stared at Haylan in disbelief.

Haylan turned his head, looked at Lucas and the others coldly, and said in a deep voice, “Get lost.”

His voice was like thunder reverberating in their ear drums.

“Oh, my God, he’s a monster! We can’t piss him off! Let’s run!”

It was only then that Lucas and the others returned to their senses. Terrified, they fled like rabbits being hunted.

Trash!”

Haylan stared at the back views of the fleeing students with contempt.

After that, he made himself calm down and regained his peaceful disposition. Looking at Queenie, he asked with concern, “Queenie, are you okay?”

“Dox you know me?” Queenie looked at Haylan with astonishment.

Truthfully, she also wanted to run away. The strength that Haylan displayed was so terrifying that it frightened her.

However, Queenie had been so scared that her legs refused to listen to her brain. Since she was paralyzed, she could not run away with the others. She could only look at Haylan with fear.

“Don’t you recognize me anymore?”

Haylan felt sad when he heard his sister’s question.

However, after putting some thought into it, he understood where she was coming from.

After eight years of hard work, Haylan had grown taller than before, and his appearance and temperament had also changed tremendously.

It was understandable that his sister did not recognize him.

The reason he could recognize Queenie at a glance was that Felicia had chased after him and given him a photo of his younger sister before he left home earlier.

Otherwise, Haylan would not have been able to recognize his sister either.

“Who are you?” Queenie asked doubtfully.

Seeing that Haylan did not hit her or harass her, she felt safer.

“Queenie, I’m your brother, Haylan. I’ve returned home. Mom asked me to deliver your lunch to you.”

Haylan smiled slightly and handed over the lunch box.

“You’re my brother?”

Queenie’s gaze landed on the lunch box in Haylan’s hands.

When she saw the familiar lunch box, her expression changed.

Indeed, it was the same lunch box that Felicia had been delivering to her for years. There was no mistake about it.

18:45 At this realization, Queenie hurriedly looked up at Haylan. With excitement and doubt flashing in her eyes, she said, “Are you really my brother?”

Haylan was now 28 years old. Years of gunfire, wind, and rain had darkened his skin, but he had a much tougher and more masculine disposition now too.

His face was still handsome. His eyes were piercing, and they were filled with concern.

Queenie vaguely recognized the features on her brother’s face even though it had been eight years since they last saw each other.

“Are you really my brother?” Queenie trembled.

After Haylan left home eight years ago, there had been no news of him. Later, people started saying that Haylan had died.

Gradually, she started to believe them. She was so sad that she cried over Haylan’s death for a long time.

Afterward, she also accepted Haylan’s death.

Now that Haylan had appeared before her eyes, she was stunned.

“Yes, it’s really me. Do you remember when you were five years old, you wanted to eat some longans, but our family was too poor and could not afford any? I spent one whole day picking up recyclable bottles and managed to exchange them for a few dollars. With that, I was able to buy you some longans.”

Haylan looked at Queenie with doting eyes and said, “After eating, you planted several longan seeds in the soil beside our house.

“At that time, you said that if you could grow your own longan trees, you could harvest many longans. in the future to cat and sell for money.

“You also said that when you made it big in the future, you would open a huge orchard filled with longans, lychees, bananas, and mangoes, all of your favorite fruits.”

When Queenie heard those words, her eyes reddened.

She covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Trembling from head to toe, she said in a choked voice, “Haylan, it really is you.

“You’re alive after all. That’s good news.”

With that, Queenie rushed over and hugged Haylan. Her tears drenched Haylan’s shirt.

Those were indeed words that she had said to Haylan in her childhood..

Haylan hugged his sister and comforted her, “It’s all right now. Your brother is back. No one will dare bully you again.”

They had finally reunited after a long time apart. Queenie cried for a long time before she could her emotions under control.

get With reddened eyes, Queenie looked Haylan up and down. After confirming for herself that Haylan seemed to be in good health, she started chastising him. “Haylan, where have you been all these years?”

“Why didn’t you call us? Do you know how much we missed you?”

While talking, Queenie cried and whacked Haylan’s shoulder over and over again to vent her anger.

“I couldn’t come home because of my job. Take the lunch box quickly. If you don’t eat it soon, the food will get cold.”

Haylan gently wiped his sister’s tears before handing over the lunch box so she could eat.

18:45 He suddenly thought of something and said, “Maybe you shouldn’t eat. Are you free this afternoon?”

“Yeah, what’s up?” Queenie asked.

“I’ll take you to a restaurant to have a good meal.”

Haylan could not help himself from saying that. He took Queenie out of school and went straight to a nearby restaurant. There, he ordered a lot of meat and displayed everything in front of Queenie.

“Wait for me.”

After ordering the dishes, Haylan ran out of the restaurant.

Not long after, Haylan returned with milk, bread, vitamins, oatmeal, potato chips, fresh fruit, and new shoes and clothes. He put everything in front of Queenie and said, “These food items are for you to take back to your dormitory. You can snack on them when you’re hungry. Don’t starve yourself.”

“Since your shoes are broken. I bought a new pair for you. You can try them on later.”

“Also, this is my number. If anyone gives you a hard time in the future, just call me. I’ll protect you.”

Haylan put many things in front of Queenie. He wanted to give her only the best things in the world to make up for the love she had lost the past eight years.

“Haylan…”

hie was so touched that her eyes glistened with tears.

For so many years, she had not eaten snacks due to her family’s poverty. She had also been wearing her current shoes for a long time as she did not have money to buy a new pair.

Now that she had received so many gifts at the same time, she felt moved and happy but also sad.

“Heh, Haylan, you really are overconfident. Even when you’re at death’s doorstep, you still came to look for your sister.”

At that moment, a cold voice was heard from outside.

A burly man appeared at the door. He was staring at Haylan with a murderous look in his eyes.

The man was tall and mighty. He had a ferocious-looking face, and his aura was simply terrifying.

When Queenie saw him, she turned pale with fright and hurriedly hid behind Haylan.

Haylan stood protectively in front of his younger sister. His eyes were cold as he asked, “Who are you?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that Mr. Jackett wants you to die.”

A gleaming cleaver suddenly appeared in the hands of the burly man. With a roar, he rushed toward Haylan.

The cleaver rapidly approached Haylan’s head, it was almost as fast as lightning.
