Chapter 913
When Harry and Mrs. Labenz saw Leonard and the others, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
As they were just ordinary people and had never seen fully armed warriors before, they still felt a bit uneasy even though they knew they meant no harm.
The old lady quickly regained her composure and immediately said, “Alright, alright, I’ll take you there. Let’s get in the car
After speaking, she was about to turn around and leave.
“No need for a car”
Leonard took her hand and calmly said, “Let’s take a fighter jet. It’s faster.”
As he spoke, a deafening roar of engines erupted.
In the distance on the deck, a fighter jet was already prepared, slowly descending its landing gear.
He then led the mother and son onto the fighter jet.
The other warriors followed.
The two of them looked at everything inside the fighter jet and were completely bewildered.
They were completely unfamiliar with such an experience. The sight of numerous weapons and missiles was utterly terrifying and overwhelming to them.
At this moment, Leonard saluted Haylan.
Haylan returned the salute, waving at them.
Rumble….
The doors of the jet closed, and the engines spewed out massive flames. It soared into the sky, disappearing quickly into the distance.
Reign gazed as the aircraft transformed into a tiny dot in the sky, swiftly disappearing from sight. She could not help but be in awe, murmuring, “Awesome.”
It was common knowledge that many armed fighter jets nowadays require a runway for takeoff.
The capability of Shadow Knight’s fighter jets to vertically take off at such high speeds exceeded the technological capabilities of numerous countries.
Suddenly, something crossed her mind, and she turned her head to gaze at Haylan, her eyes sharp.
“What’s the matter?” he asked.
She stared at him intensely, asking, “Haylan, what is your relationship with Shadow Knight?”
Shadow Knight was globally renowned, standing as a leading and massive mercenary group. They had their own territories and their influence spanned across the world.
It was the scale of an entire nation!
Meanwhile, Haylan’s ability to move freely within the organization, combined with everything that had happened on the Swan Cruise, made her believe that he had a significant connection with the mercenary group.
“What did you think?” he asked with a smile.
With a serious expression, she said word by word, “Are you one of the higher–ups of Shadow Knight?”
This question had been swirling in her mind for a long time. Combined with her understanding of him and the mercenary group, only the truth of him being a high–ranking member of the organization could explain everything!
Otherwise, Leonard and Xander would not have been so obedient to him.
He pondered for a moment and finally said, “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”
“Of course, it’s the truth,” she replied.
“Well, I didn’t mean to lie to you. The truth is, I am indeed a high–ranking member of Shadow Knight. Moreover…”
He nodded, wanting to tell her his identities all at once.
In these past few days, he had already made the decision to spend the rest of his life with her, so, of course, he would not hide anything from her.

However, before he could finish his sentence, she placed a finger on his lips, preventing him from continuing.
“That’s all I need to know.”
She kissed him on the cheek, nestling in his arms. “Don’t tell me the rest for now. I’m not mentally prepared yet.”
Ever since he had returned to the country, he never clearly explained his identity. In other words, it was evident that he had his concerns.
As his woman, she understood his concerns and would not press for further details.
