Chapter 396
Reign seemed still mad at Haylan, standing quietly staring at the sea
Haylan had no choice but wait patiently for Reign to be ready to speak.
In fact, he had realized why Sharvin sent the invitation, and why Labenz refused to cooperate
However, he wanted to hear it from Reign herself.
Under the watchful eyes of the people on the shore, the Swan Cruise weighed anchor and set sail into the vast sea, cutting through the water in the sea.
The other two Swan Cruises followed behind.
The three ships cut through the water and marched forward on the turbulent waters, tracing three white straight lines in the sea. It was a spectacular sight.
As the boat was about to set sail. Sharvin took a sip of coffee before looking at Haylan and leaving
Reign turned and glared at Haylan before saying. I wonder if you know that Sharvin is a cunning opportunist. It’s certain that if that he really knows the whereabouts of the Ghost Orchid, he’d try every means to get it alone!
However, he invited me to join him, but a capitalist like him wouldn’t share the wealth with others, will he?”
“Of course not, Haylan replied, chuckling
So the only reason he’d cooperate with me is that he know with his own capability, he can’t pluck the Ghost Orchidr alone, said Reign staring at Sharvin’s back.
He probably wants me to be used his scapegoat or cannon fodder.
If I cooperate with him. I have to be extremely cautious, or Ill be dead any moment.”
I see. That man has never done anything good; as to the evil, he’s willing to do any kind of it, Haylan replied, nodding his
consent
Reign shifted her sight to the distant sea, and said in a low voice, “I have a strange premonition something bad will happen
this time”
Josef would not easily hand over the new medicine to her. And now there came Sharvin
These two business tycoons seemed fixated on her, making her feel pressured.
Besides, her premonition did not stem from them but from her instinct.
She had a feeling that something awful even horrible and terrifying would happen.
Yet she could not figure out what the cause exactly was. The fear seemed vague yet real to her.
“We can look at the bright side of the matter. Haylan said calmly. “We know Josef has the new medicine and we know his conditions. We also know Sharvin has the information about the Ghost Orchid. Both are invaluable assets to us.”
Haylan’s expression was composed as he continued slowly. “What we need to do next is try to make Sharvin spill the beans and then figure out a way to trade for Josef’s new medicine
Reagh heard that and smiled. “You’re really optimistic And you cheered me up a bit
The information is all found out by you. I’m just helping you summarize,” said Haylan
“You seem to have already got a plan, right?”
“Yes, but the time isn’t right yet”
“Really
Hearing that Reign’s eyes widened in surprise and anticipation You really have thought of a solution?” she exclaimed
She just asked the question casually, never exp
aylan would really have an answer
After all, Josef and Sharvin were both wizened veterans. It would be incredibly difficult to persuade them to divulge the new medicine and Ghost Orchid’s whereabouts
Yet Haydan really had a solution! How come!
“Indeed there is a way Haylan said, nodding his head.
He looked toward Josef and said. “Though Josef looks refined and debonair, he’s prone to sexual pleasure. And you know what his kidneys and other functions have almost failed.
With so many beautiful models on board today, he’s sure to indulge.
In three more episodes of excess, his functions will fail completely. Then I’ll show up and cure him, and then, perhaps I be able to persuade him into handing over the new medicine to me.”
Hearing this, Reign blushed slightly.
The association of the functions and the beautiful models unsettled her, some wanton images emerging in her mind
Haylan shifted his sight from Josef to Sharvin and continued, “However, Sharvin has no Achilles heel. He’s somewhat ill but it’s not critical.
It’ll be hard to make him talk
So we must wait for the right moment. We must be patient.
Since he wants us as cannon fodder, he won’t give up just because you refused him. Hell certainly try it again.”
Reign’s eyes lit up at Haylan’s analysis.
If what Haylan said was true, she might really have a chance to make it!
She looked at Haylan with pronounced admiration and said, “I forgive you.”
“Huh?” Haylan was startled.
He didn’t do anything wrong, why the hell did she say the word “forgive”?
“For evading my charms and kiss!”, Reign added.
Haylan smiled wryly.
So that was how it was.
Just avoiding a kiss?
Why was she so angry about it?
And shortly after that, she forgave him.
A woman’s temperament was truly fickle,
He observed Reign’s gorgeous face and suddenly was struck by an idea. With a smile, he said, “It was wrong of me to evade your kiss. I’ll compensate. How about this, I’ll be your boyfriend after our voyage.
And to make amends for evading your kiss, I’ll compensate you with a…..“
