Zealon Xydia and Carlo Monde looked at each other and saw the shock and disbelief in each otherâs eyes.
When Haylan sent everyone away, they assumed that he wanted to go on a killing spree, but in the end, he simply wanted to go back with them?
Was that even possible?
Was Haylan Jaber that stupid?
âDidnât you guys say that Iâm the fugitiveâs senior comrade?â
Haylan glanced at Yozand Growe, who was tied up securely, and said calmly, âI believe that the innocent will be exonerated. Therefore, I will go back with you to assist in your investigation.â
âAre you serious? Zealon frowned.
Haylan was at a loss for words. âDo you want me to kill a few people before going back with you?â
He began to wonder whether these people knew what was good for them.
Haylan had been so cooperative. He didnât put up any resistance nor did he attack them. He had already extended these people so much courtesy, yet these people still didnât believe him?
Were they masochists?
âNo, no, no. Weâre all civilized people. Try not to attack if you can avoid it,â Zealon hurriedly said with an ingratiating smile. Haylan took out a cigarette and said, âIf you donât want me to attack, itâs very easy. Call off all the soldiers surrounding the Mapleturz Groupâs premises and announce to the public that you guys did this because an escaped fugitive came in here. âHowever, this fugitive has been captured by the Mapleturz Groupâs security guards from the security department. âAs the representative of the security guards, I will personally escort this fugitive and follow you guys to the vehicle.â Haylan had thought this through. Only when the news was reported in this way could he minimize the Mapleturz Groupâs losses. He could preserve the Mapleturz Groupâs dignity and even highlight the immense capability of the Mapleturz Groupâs security department.
When Zealon heard this, he immediately frowned.
They had secretly released this fugitive. If their plan was exposed by the news media, their opponents might catch hold of this and use it against them to hold them accountable.
However, these were all minor problems.
As long as Zealon could bring Haylan back, his mission would be completed. Mackaye Shilton would not be able to blame him.
As for the other matters, they were easy to resolve.
Zealon immediately nodded. âOkay. I agree to your request.â
Haylan found a black plastic bag and poked two holes in it. Then, he pulled it over Yozandâs head and lifted him up from the ground with one hand. He then said calmly, âAlright. Lead the way.â
âAll soldiers of the Tigris Insignia Army, listen up. The major felony criminal has been captured!
âEveryone, retreat!â
When Zealon saw that Yozandâs face was covered, he was relieved. He immediately walked in front and ordered members of the Tigris Insignia Army to open up a path ahead.
At the same time, he also ordered his subordinates to release the news to the media in accordance with Haylanâs instructions.
After issuing his orders, Zealon was overjoyed.
Mackaye Shilton insisted on arresting Haylan Jaber to avenge his son. Such an undertaking was a huge risk, to begin with.
In his mind, Haylan Jaber was very likely one of the ten legendary mysterious Demigods. His strength would be boundless. Even if the Silver Panzer Corps went all out, they might not be a match for Haylan.
Zealon didnât want to antagonize Haylan at all, nor did he want to offend Mackaye Shilton. Being stuck in the middle was the most unbearable situation.
Now that Haylan was cooperating with him, Zealon could successfully complete the mission without any bloodshed. He would not offend either side.
This was simply perfect!
In order to fulfill Haylanâs requirements, Zealon even got a reporter to take photos of Haylan escorting Yozand so that Haylan could use them as promotional materials in the future.
Soon, the Tigris Insignia Army retreated like a tide. They rapidly boarded the military departmentâs trucks and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Landon stood in front of the floorâtoâceiling window of the CEOâs office and watched the large trucks leave in an impressive manner with a solemn expression.
Lorraine Zabel was also standing beside him and watching the whole proceeding silently.
âMiss Zabel, do you think anything will happen to Haylan?â Landon asked somewhat worriedly.
âNo!â Lorraine blurted out without hesitation.
Landon looked at Lorraine with curiosity. âWhy are you so sure?â
In the extraterritorial battlefields, the Silver Panzer Corps was known as the Invincible Silver Dragon. If anyone fell into the hands of those people, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yet, Lorraine believed so firmly that Haylan would be fine?
âHaylan never fights a battle he has no confidence in winning Lorraineâs expression was calm as she said, âIf he takes action, it means that mentally, he already has the confidence to secure victory. We can just watch quietly.â
Landon looked at Lorraine and then at the trucks carrying the Silver Panzer Corps that had already traveled far away. His expression became more and more peculiar.
In the end, he sighed and said, âTruly, every generation produces its own talents. The new generation surpasses the previous. My era has passed. Now, itâs your era.â
In the past, when Landon fought alongside Reignâs father to sweep across the world, he enjoyed the feeling of being invincible.
Now that he was an expert at the level of generalâclass, he could sweep aside his enemies even more easily. However, when Landon faced Haylan and Lorraine, he felt that he had already become old.
Whether in terms of talent, combat power, or ability to handle things, Haylan Jaber and Lorraine Zabel were more experienced and calmer than him.
Ever since Haylan and Lorraine arrived at Reignâs side, Reign had not asked Landon for help for a long time. Her life had also been smooth sailing.
Instead of feeling remorseful, Landon smiled slightly and thought to himself, âPerhaps itâs time for me to consider how to live my golden years after retirement.â
All along, he had been supporting Reign so that Reign would have someone to rely on. Only then would he feel he did not let Reignâs father down.
Now that Landon saw Reignâs faction growing stronger step by step, from being alone to having so many friends around her, he felt heartened from the bottom of his heart.
Reign Labenz had really grown up. Even without the help of someone like him who was almost 50 years old, she could still hold her own and contend with the elderly Mr. Labenz. She could even overthrow Philip Labenz.
In other words, even without Landonâs help, Reign would still do well.
At this juncture, Landon could resolutely retire at the height of his career.
Zealon led the convoy of trucks ferrying the Tigris Insignia Army members back to the military base of the Silver Panzer Corps.
After getting out of the truck, he came to the truck where Haylan was in. He let Haylan and Yozand out of the truck and said, âMr. Jaber, please cooperate with us and send the fugitive to the military prison.
âAfter that, we will interrogate you two in turn to uncover evidence.
âIf youâre innocent, we wonât wrongly accuse you.â
âCut the crap. Lead the way,â Haylan said calmly.
Zealon nodded and walked at the front.
Haylan carried Yozand, whom he had knocked unconscious earlier, and walked in the middle.
Carlo and the others followed right behind Haylan. They were fully armed and their gazes were chilly.
Although Haylan was not handcuffed, they still treated Haylan like a prisoner and maintained an exceptionally vigilant watch and aloof attitude toward him.
In particular, after they arrived at the base of the military department, they became more aloof and even a tad more arrogant Soon, they entered the prison inside the military department Under Zealonâs lead, Haylan threw Yozand into one of the single cells Zealon opened the door of another room and politely said to Haylan, âMr. Jaber, this is the place where you will be questioned Please go in It was as if Zealon was inviting Haylan into a trap Haylan did not say much and walked straight in He even closed the door himself and lit a cigarette.
He took a puff and said calmly. âI donât have much time. Hurry up and call the person in charge of questioning to come hereâ
From the looks of it. Haylan was not here to be questioned. Instead, he was very relaxed and calm, as if Haylan was the one conducting the interrogation
