Chapter 516
“A big drama?” Reign looked puzzled.
“That’s right. It’s a big drama.” Haylan replied and smiled mysteriously.
Reign looked at Haylan’s smile and her mind raced. She immediately understood and asked, “David? Putting on a drama for Philip?”
“You are smart.” Haylan smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Reign gazed at Haylan with a worried expression in her eyes and said, “You’re not thinking about actually ingesting those poisons, are you?”
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If I don’t eat it, how could Philip fall for it?” Haylan said.
“No way!”
Reign refused on the spot and said in a deep voice, “I promised you before that I would handle Philip’s matter. You don’t
have to take the risk.”
She had also watched the video David sent to Haylan seriously.
She had also carefully studied the various medicines in the packet of powdered drugs. They were all lethal poisons.
It only took a few grams to poison an adult.
If Haylan drank all the water that poison had soaked in, what would happen?
Even if he didn’t die, he would be half-dead.
Reign didn’t want Haylan to take such a risk and make such a crazy move.
“Nothing ventured, notlung gained?” Reign questioned.
Haylan’s expression was calm. He smiled and said. “Philip, that crafty scoundrel, is especially cunning. If I don’t do this, he won’t take the bait.”
“Td rather he didn’t take the bait than see you drink that coffee, Reign replied.
Reign glared at Haylan and said, “I don’t care what your identity is. In short, I’m your immediate superior now. I order you not to drink.”
The composition of that packet of medicines alone made her feel terrified. And she had absolutely no confidence in Haylan drinking it.
When Haylan heard Reign’s words, he looked at Reign in shock. He did not expect Reign to say such a thing.
‘Don’t look at me like that. No matter what, you can’t drink that cup of coffee. This is an order. Do you hear me?” Reign glared at Haylan, and her tone became assertive and forceful.
With that, she walked out of the kindergarten and into the car.
“How dare she order you around. This woman is utterly ignorant of her place. Haylan, do you want me to help you teach her a lesson?” Xander glared at Reign with a sharp gaze.
Haylan was the leader of the mercenaries. He stood above all others. Apart from the mysterious old master, within the mercenary group, Haylan was undoubtedly the unquestionable leader. He was not only a Mercenary King but also Xander’s- idol
In Xander’s eyes, Haylan was a man who stood at the pinnacle of this world. However, when Reign ordered Haylan, it infuriated Xander. He felt that Reign was humiliating Haylan.
Lorraine glanced at Xander and said, ‘What a straight man!”
With that, she walked out, opened the car door, and sat beside Reign.
‘Straight man? What are you talking about? Do you believe that I will teach you a lesson too!” Xander was even angrier. “Xander, don’t be rash.” Haylan glared at Xander.
“Haylan, what is your position? And what is her position? How dare she order you around?” Xander was still a little indignant.
“In Ligludom City, my position is the department head of the security department in her company. I can be considered her subordinate. So it’s reasonable for her to speak to me like this,” Haylan replied.
“But…”
“No need for further discussion. If you want to stay with me, don’t mess around. Otherwise, I’ll get Jeremy to pull you away.” Haylan said.
At the mention of Jeremy. Xander’s expression changed slightly. And a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly said, “Alright, Haylan, I understand. I won’t speak nonsense again.”
Haylan glanced at him and then said, “If you know fear, then keep your mouth shut.”
With that, Haylan walked to the car and sat in the driver’s seat.
Xander hurriedly walked over and sat in the front passenger seat with an extremely excited expression.
To be able to get Sovereign of Shadows to drive for him was really an incomparable honor.
Haylan didn’t say anything else. He started the car and drove straight to the Mapleturz Group.
When they arrived at the company, after the car was parked. Reign got out of the car and continued to look at Haylan with utmost seriousness. Then she said to Haylan. “If David offers you a cup of coffee, you’re not allowed to drink it.”
“What if I say that I have the antidote” Haylan said with a smile.
“Even if there’s an antidote, it still wouldn’t be acceptable. It would still cause harm to your health,” Reign said.
“Ms. Labenz, it’s not like you to be so indecisive, Haylan said.
“No matter what, that poison is very potent. You can’t drink it”
“Alright. Ms. Labenz, let’s go to Yvie’s office. I’ll personally rest it for you. Let’s go.”
Haylan’s expression was calm. But lus attitude was very tough. lle took Reign’s hand and went straight to Yvonne’s office.
As Xander watched Haylan holding Reign’s hand, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. “This…” he muttered.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why Reign dared to order Haylan.
“What a straight man!” Lorraine said.
She glanced at Xander and then followed them.
Xander’s face darkened. He said to Lorraine, ‘If you continue, do you believe that I’ll beat you up?”
Lorraine looked at Xander with disdain. And then she said again, “Straight man”
With that, she followed Haylan and Reign.
Now, she was no longer the assassin known as Silver Fox but had taken on the role of Reign’s secretary. Naturally, she would follow Reign’s lead.
