Seward stared at Haylan coldly. âWho exactly are you?â
âIâm Haylan Jaber, Reignâs personal bodyguard, Haylan said calmly.
âHaylan Jaber?â Seward frowned.
He searched hard for the name in his mind and finally came to the conclusion that he had never heard of such a name.
From his recollection, he could not recall a seven-star expert fighter named Haylan.
However, he knew who Reign was. She was the most wealthy woman in Lightdom City. She was famous throughout the country and was most definitely a very powerful person.
âHow did Reign find such an expert fighter?! Seward wondered.
He originally wanted to make the first move and teach Haylan a lesson.
Now that he saw how powerful Haylan was, he hesitated. He felt some apprehension.
âSeward, stop talking. He beat me up so badly. We have to kill him so the Zabel family wonât be humiliated, Horace urged.
âYou are so annoying.â Haylanâs eyes darkened as he flicked his finger.
A silver needle flew swiftly like lightning and stabbed Horaceâs tute point.
In an instant, Horace was rendered speechless. Although his mouth was wide open, no sound came out when he tried to speak Horace countenance turned grave. He could only clutch his throat in shock.
âWhatâs going on? Why canât I talk?â Horace thought.
He tried to ask Seward for help.
A glimmer of panic flickered in Horaceâs gaze as he looked at Seward.
Seward met Haylan with a cold, distant intensity. âWhat did you do to him?â
âDonât worry. I only made him shut upâ
Haylan remained unfazed and replied, âMs. Labenz is currently undergoing treatment. She cannot be disturbed. Please leave immediatelyâ
âWe have not settled our scores,â Seward roared coldly.
âDo you still want to settle our scores?â
A coldness emanated from Haylanâs gaze. He said loudly. âAll right then, Iâll settle the score with you now.
âFirstly, Horace sent someone to put poison in our room. As a result, Ms. Labenz has been poisoned and passed out. If I hadnât saved her in time, I donât know what might happen to her.
âSecondly, the Zabel family is the one who invited us to this gathering on the ship. Ms. Labenz was invited to the gathering, and look what happened to her. You have to be responsible.
âThirdly, after Ms. Labenz was poisoned, I asked the doctor on the ship to treat her immediately.
However, the doctor wanted to chase the female doctor, the nurses, and me away, leaving Ms.
Labenz alone in the room. It was clear that he harbored bad intentions.
âHe is such a vicious man who uses underhand means to get what he wants.
âSeward, I can tell that you are a very strong fighter. You must be very highly regarded in the Zabel family. Tell me, who should be responsible for this incident?
âHow are we going to settle the score now that Ms. Labenz has been poisoned?â
Haylan spoke in a very assertive manner.
âIs it true that Ms. Labenz was poisoned on the ship of the Zabel family?â
When Seward heard this, his expression changed slightly. He turned around and glared at Horace.
âDid you do this?â
Seward was aware that Horace was a frivolous playboy who was capable of such a thing.
If news of this incident were to spread, the consequences would be dire.
The Zabel familyâs reputation would be greatly affected.
Horace opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he could not say a word.
Haylan flicked another silver needle and stabbed Horaceâs acupoint.
When Horace felt that he could now speak, he protested angrily, âSeward, donât listen to him. Heâs slandering me. Iâve never done such a thing. If you donât believe me, ask him to show you evidence.â
When Seward heard this, he looked at Haylan. âWhat evidence do you have that Horace is the culprit?â
âI donât have any other evidence except this. I found it in our room.â
Haylan took out some powder from his pocket and placed it in front of Seward. He said coldly, âWe are distinguished guests of the Zabel family. We come from influential family backgrounds. The Zabel family invited us to this gathering.
âAs the organizer of the event, you should ensure our safety and safeguard our interests on the ship.
âInstead, you allowed someone to come into our room freely and put poison on the bed and toilet bowl. What should we do to settle this score?
âIs this how the Zabel family treat your guests?â
Every one of his question stumped Seward.
âYouâre slandering me!â Horace denied vehemently.
âShut up!â
Seward stared coldly at Horace. He regarded the latter with a frigid expression. Seward then took out his phone and made a call. He said into the phone, âCheck the surveillance cameras on the top floor immediately. Also, send someone to Ms. Labenzâs room and check if you can find any drugs on the bed, toilet bowl, and other places.
âLet me know your findings in three minutes.â
After hanging up the phone, Seward stared at Haylan coldly. âIâll get to the bottom of this. If I find out that youâre slandering Horace, I will make sure you wonât leave this place in one piece.
