Chapter 127
When Haylan saw the two friends’ messages, he immediately put down his legs and sat up straight. His eyes were filled with
ecstasy.
Noah Winkler
That was his best friend from high school. They were very close always traveled together to and from school and even shared their pants when they were staying in the dorm.
When Haylan was being hunted down after offending some people back then. Noah came forward and took a stab to save
his life
Now that he saw Noah’s message, he was so thrilled and he immediately added him to his contact.
“Bro, how have you been in the past eight years?” Haylan replied.
About a minute later, Noah texted back, “It’s okay. What about you? How have you been living abroad? Are you doing well?”
“I went through hell there and almost died. I nearly lost my kidney but I pulled through later. I’m doing okay now,” Haylan responded right away.
He had nothing to hide from his best friend. In fact, he wanted to pour his heart out to Noah.
Haylan told him what had happened to him not long after he left the country.
And the black-hearted boat owner had sent him to the Demon’s Den where his blood had been taken from him every day for sale. If he resisted, he would be beaten and tortured until he was covered in injuries. Besides, they starved him…
For Haylan, those past events were too painful to revisit.
It was the darkest time of his life.
Especially when he was locked in a dog cage and transported out for organ harvesting, he sank into the abyssal depths of despair. He would shudder when he thought of the total darkness that one couldn’t see his own fingers.
It was precisely because he had experienced such pain and hopelessness, Haylan was extremely grateful to his master for saving him.
That was why he would do whatever his master said and obey him unquestioningly.
He had buried those memories and never told anyone about them.
But when he was talking with his best friend, he could no longer control himself but spill his guts.
After hearing that, Noah fell silent for a long while.
“All right. Bro, we haven’t seen each other for so long. Let’s have a video call.”
After some thought, Haylan suggested and clicked on the video call button.
He had forgotten what his buddy looked like. So, he desperately wanted to see Noah.
However. Noah rejected the call and explained, Tm at work now. It’s inconvenient. I’ll see you tonight. Let’s have a good
drink then.”
“Okay, see you tonight.“
Haylan looked at WhatsApp and realized that Noah had stopped replying to his message. So, he put his phone away delightedly
His life had been nothing but accomplishing missions. Even in the mercenary group, he did not have any close friends. There were too much despair, sadness, sorrow, and bitterness bottled up inside him when he had no one to talk to. Now that he had returned to Lightdom City, he felt that he had finally found someone to share his innermost feelings with
And apart from Noah, another buddy of his, Perry Felicia would also attend the gathering. That made him even more excited about the class reunion that night.
He put away his phone and whistled happily
“Mr. Jaber, why are you in such a good mood?”
Right then, Wane walked in.
“Something good has happened, Haylan said with a smile.
“What is it?”
“The stocks have gone up.”
“Mr. Jaber, you buy stocks? How much did you earn? Can you share some tips with me?”
When Wane heard Haylan talk about stocks. his eyes lit up immediately.
Haylan did not expect Wane to take his words seriously. As a result, he could only say. “I’ve been researching for some days. Our company’s stock is likely to grow and double.”
When Wane heard that, he frowned slightly and said, “Mr. Jaber, are you kidding? Our company’s stock has just risen from 20 to 40. It’s already at its peak. How can it continue to grow in such a short period of time?”
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you,” Haylan said flatly.
After thinking for a moment, he took out 1,200 dollars from his wallet and placed it on the table. “By the way, tell everyone I have an appointment tonight, so I can’t treat them to dinner.
“Distribute the money to everyone, each person 40 dollars. Take it as my treat.
Other than him and Quentin, there were 30 employees in the security department. 1,200 dollars shared among them and each could get 40 dollars.
Thank you, Mr. Jaber.” Wane was overjoyed.
“Remember, you must give it to everyone. Don’t leave anyone out,” said Haylan
“Well, does David also…” Wane said hesitantly.
He knew David had some problems with Haylan.
“Everyone will get their share,” Haylan emphasized.
“Got it.”
Wane nodded and walked out with the money. He had more respect for Haylan.
Compared to Quentin, Haylan had a bigger heart because he could forgive and give money to a subordinate who held a grudge against him.
“Everyone, gather around. Mr. Jaber has something on today, so he can’t treat us to dinner. To make it up to you, he’ll give 40 dollars to everyone.”
Wane assembled the employees before distributing the money to them in turn. Each person would receive 40 dollars.
“Hahaha, Mr. Jaber is really a good leader. He’s so generous!”
“Right. Mr. Jaber is really kind. I can tell at a glance that he is definitely not an ordinary man. He will achieve great success in
the future.”
“My respect for Mr. Jaber is like a surging river, stretching endlessly and ever-flowing.”
“If we follow Mr. Jaber, we’ll make real money. This is amazing.”
All the security guards who were holding the money laughed out loud and couldn’t stop singing praises to Haylan
40 dollars was not much but it was sufficient to bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
They had been working for Quentin for so long, but Quentin was very stingy. He had never bought them a meal. On the contrary, he would deduct their salaries and always boss them around.
