Chapter 912
“Relatives?” Haylan was surprised.
He had no idea that he had any relatives in the Whileal Kingdom.
At this point, he was all at sea.
“Haylan, you have relatives in the Whileal Kingdom?” Reign asked with surprise.
Though they were now a couple, she had never heard him mention having any relatives here.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I have no idea who they are.”
After a moment of thought, he said to Leonard, “Regardless of who they are, bring them over here.”
Leonard nodded and immediately disembarked from the aircraft carrier to fetch the visitors.
About ten minutes later, he returned to the deck accompanied by an elderly woman and a middle–aged man, who stood before Haylan and Reign.
The old woman appeared old while the man was in his middle age.
Upon seeing them, Haylan’s expression turned grave.
It was his grandmother and uncle!
Now, Mrs. Labenz and Harry had aged considerably. They no longer exuded the same domineering presence they had when they were in their homeland. Instead, their faces were filled with weariness.
The old lady had even more gray hair than before while wrinkles lined her face like deep crevices.
Harry had lost the vigor and confidence he once had in their homeland, replaced by a sense of defeat. He bore a heavy burden on his shoulders, and there was an indissoluble sorrow between his brows.
“Haylan, my dear grandson, it’s so good to see you.”
“Dear nephew, I miss you so much!”
Upon seeing him, the duo rushed toward him as if they had found their best friend, immediately embracing him and bursting into tears.

“Haylan, I’m your grandmother. How can you treat me like this?” Mrs. Labenz’s tears streamed down her face as she held onto him tightly.
“Haylan, we’re sorry for everything that happened in the past. It was all our fault. Please, I beg you. Help us! Help your uncle!” Harry pleaded with tears in his eyes as well.
“Right, Haylan, we were wrong. We apologize to you and your mother. Let me apologize to you now. I’m sorry.”
Tears streamed down Mrs. Labenz’s face as she clutched her grandson’s hand, pleading. “Even if you hate me and your uncle, it’s alright. But I implore you, out of our shared bloodline, please save your cousin.”
“Cousin? What happened?” Haylan frowned.
“We, we were deceived. The old woman pounded her chest and stomped her foot.
As it turned out, shortly after their family immigrated to the Whileal Kingdom, they wanted to go out and celebrate. However, because of the celebration, his cousin Missy Labenz caught the attention of a local gang due to her beauty. The leader of the gang had a particular fondness for fair–skinned women.
Upon noticing Missy, he wasted no time and promptly dispatched individuals to invite her to join him.
Being a graduate of a prestigious university, Missy was proud and arrogant. Although she enjoyed living in the Whileal Kingdom, she had a strong aversion to gang members and flatly refused.
The conflict escalated precisely due to her refusal.
