Chapter 501: Chapter 501

“That evil spirit was so fierce and ugly. It pounced on me and tried to kill me.”

“I was so scared, I squatted on the ground and could not move.”

“Later, my father rushed over and fought with that thing. In the end, he chased it away. However, he also shed plenty of blood and fell to the ground, almost dying.”

Reign’s face turned pale when she talked about the trauma of her childhood. She held Haylan’s hand tightly.

Haylan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

What was going on?

Reign’s father fought with evil spirits and bled a lot.

Did evil spirits have blood?

Couldn’t it be that someone was wearing a mask to assassinate her or her father?

In an instant. Haylan had already thought of such a possibility.

Generally speaking, evil spirits were most formless.

Children could see these things, but adults rarely could.

Reign was very young at that time. It was normal for her to see evil spirits.

However, evil spirits appeared during the thunderstorm and fought with Reign’s father, causing him to bleed.

No matter how to look at it, it was artificial.

Boom! Rumble!

At this moment, another clap of thunder sounded outside the window.

Reign was so frightened that she hugged Haylan again. She hugged him tightly as if this was the only way to give her a sense of security.

Haylan felt the jade-like hand holding him tightly, with great strength, but the arm was trembling.

He looked at Reign’s pale face and felt sympathy for her. He hugged her and said, “In fact, you do not have to be so afraid. Let me help you recall.”

“No, do not say anymore… Reign was even more terrified.

When she told Haylan about that matter, she had mustered considerable courage. Now, Haylan wanted to repeat it. This was rubbing salt into her wound.

“If you do not deal with this childhood trauma, it will follow you for the rest of your life, making you feel frightened and insecure.”

Haylan’s expression was calm as he said, “I know you are afraid. I understand very well because I have experienced the same thing as you. I was also afraid and could not walk out.”

“But if you can not get out, you will be trapped and tortured for the rest of your life.”

“The best way to get rid of fear is to face it head-on and defeat it!”

At this point, a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes.

In the past eight years, he had followed his master everywhere and experienced many storms. He also faced life and death and fought many talented geniuses.

One enemy left a deep impression on him At that time, he was only a lord-class expert. He had just made a name for himself on the extraterritorial battlefield. Later on, because of his bravery, he killed a drug lord who wanted to humiliate a foreign mother and daughter and was devoid of conscience.

Then, the brother of the drug lord, a General, heard about this and chased after him for a month.

During that month, he had been chased around the world to escape. He had tried his best but could not defeat that General. Every time he saw the figure of that general-class expert, he could only flee and did not dare to fight, That month was his most desperate month!

He asked his master for help, but the master ignored him. Even the Shadow Knight did not lend him a helping hand. He was alone in a foreign country, with a face that was an Easterner, isolated and helpless.

He felt abandoned by the whole world at that time. It was as if he had returned to Demon’s Den and could be killed at any moment.

He fled, but no matter where he escaped, he would be found and hunted down. He lived an unstable life.

Later on, he realized that it was no use fleeing like this. So he made up his mind. He changed from being passive to taking the initiative to attack. He used all his methods to kill the subordinates of the general-class expert one by one before facing the general-class expert in the end.

That battle was earth-shattering and tragic.

At last, he lured the general-class expert into the trap he had set up. He exhausted all his strength and paid a heavy price to kill the general-class expert.

Although he had killed that person, that person had left a deep impression on him.

Just as he thought he had killed that person, that person stood up again and again, displaying incomparably terrifying strength, forcing him into a desperate situation again and again.

“But, how, how do we face this?” Reign looked troubled.

“Let me tell you something”

Haylan’s expression was calm as he said indifferently, “Is there a possibility that the evil spirit you met when you were young was not an evil spirit but someone in disguise?”

“Someone in disguise? Reign was stunned.

“Think about it Your Labenz family is big and prosperous. Your grandfather’s hands are covered in blood. Naturally, some enemies want to kill you. It is reasonable for them to take revenge on your father or grandfather.”

Haylan looked into Reign’s eyes and said, “Think carefully. When you saw the evil spirit, did it have a shadow, and the rain could fall on it?”

“Also, when your father was fighting with that evil spirit, did they have physical contact? Could it even make a sound?”

Reign’s expression changed when she heard this.

Haylan’s words seemed to make sense.

“Think carefully. Is that right?” Haylan asked.

Reign frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Haylan watched as she sank into her memories. He did not disturb her and just waited quietly.

At this moment, the thunder sounded again.

Reign was shocked again. Her face turned pale as she hurriedly threw herself into Haylan’s arms again. She said with at trembling voice. “I can not remember. I’m so afraid.”

She trembled and couldn’t remember anything Haylan was helpless and could only hug her and comfort her. “Well, let me tell you some stories.

How about a love story?”

To make Reign recover from her fear, he could only change the topic and tell her some love stories.

After he diverted her attention, Reign was indeed not as afraid and relaxed a lot.

She asked, “That woman waited 18 years for her husband to return. But her husband married someone else instead?”

“Yeah.”

“This is too sad. Tell me something more light-hearted.”

“Alright, how about Superman’s story?”

“The comics? I’ve read it when I was a kid. Why don’t you tell me something else? How about Aquaman? I’ve always wanted to read it. But I couldn’t find the time.”

“I just read it in high school. Some say the ending was an anticlimax.”

“Just tell me about it.”

“Alright, I will tell you then.”

Haylan used his mesmerizing voice and slowly told the story of Aquaman to Reign.

Under his voice, Reign gradually became less afraid and slowly relaxed.

As he told the story, the distance between the two of them grew closer. Then they leaned tightly together.
