Chapter 584
Zealon Xydia and Carlo Monde looked at each other and saw the shock and disbelief in each other’s 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?
“Didn’t you guys say that I’m the fugitive’s senior comrade?”
Haylan glanced at Yozand Growe, who was tied up securely, and said calmly, “I believe that the innocent will be exonerated. Therefore, I will go back with you to assist in your investigation.”
“Are you serious? Zealon frowned.
Haylan was at a loss for words. “Do you want me to kill a few people before going back with you?”
He began to wonder whether these people knew what was good for them.
Haylan had been so cooperative. He didn’t put up any resistance nor did he attack them. He had already extended these people so much courtesy, yet these people still didn’t believe him?
Were they masochists?
“No, no, no. We’re all civilized people. Try not to attack if you can avoid it,” Zealon hurriedly said with an ingratiating smile. Haylan took out a cigarette and said, “If you don’t want me to attack, it’s very easy. Call off all the soldiers surrounding the Mapleturz Group’s premises and announce to the public that you guys did this because an escaped fugitive came in here. “However, this fugitive has been captured by the Mapleturz Group’s security guards from the security department. “As the representative of the security guards, I will personally escort this fugitive and follow you guys to the vehicle.” Haylan had thought this through. Only when the news was reported in this way could he minimize the Mapleturz Group’s losses. He could preserve the Mapleturz Group’s dignity and even highlight the immense capability of the Mapleturz Group’s 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. “Okay. I agree to your request.”
Haylan found a black plastic bag and poked two holes in it. Then, he pulled it over Yozand’s head and lifted him up from the ground with one hand. He then said calmly, “Alright. Lead the way.”
“All soldiers of the Tigris Insignia Army, listen up. The major felony criminal has been captured!
“Everyone, retreat!”
When Zealon saw that Yozand’s 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 Haylan’s 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 didn’t 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!
Chapter 584
In order to fulfill Haylan’s 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 department’s trucks and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Landon stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window of the CEO’s 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.
“Miss Zabel, do you think anything will happen to Haylan?” Landon asked somewhat worriedly.
“No!” Lorraine blurted out without hesitation.
Landon looked at Lorraine with curiosity. “Why are you so sure?”
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?
“Haylan never fights a battle he has no confidence in winning
Lorraine’s expression was calm as she said, “If he takes action, it means that mentally, he already has the confidence to secure victory. We can just watch quietly.”
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, “Truly, every generation produces its own talents. The new generation surpasses the previous. My era has passed. Now, it’s your era.”
In the past, when Landon fought alongside Reign’s father to sweep across the world, he enjoyed the feeling of being invincible.
Now that he was an expert at the level of general–class, 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 Reign’s 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, “Perhaps it’s time for me to consider how to live my golden years after retirement.”
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 Reign’s father down.
Now that Landon saw Reign’s 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 Landon’s help, Reign would still do well.
At this juncture, Landon could resolutely retire at the height of his career.
