This was shocking.
So shocking!
The Labenz family was the greatest in Lightdom City, with over three hundred years of history.
Their conglomerate was the pivot of Lightdom City's economy, and their business empire had expanded overseas. The assets they owned were of inconceivable value.
Many of their family members were elites in different trades. Some were high-rank officials, some were successful business people, and some were experts in martial arts...
It was not stretching the truth to say that the Labenz family was the uncrowned ruler of the Lightdom City.
Compared with the Labenz family, the Quinern Group was just an inconspicuous worm.
Just a word from Landon was enough to make the Quinern Group go under. Patriarch Labenz and Reign didn't even need to lift a finger.
Therefore, it blew Harper and his underlings' minds and scared the wits out of them that Landon showed up personally to help Haylan and declared that Haylan was a distinguished guest of the Labenz family.
They realized that they had messed with the wrong guy and were doomed.
"Mr. Katz, I'm sorry. I swear to leave Mr. Jaber and his parents alone in the future!" Harper promised in a hurry.
"Mr. Jaber saved Ms. Labenz's life. You have to pay the price for hurting his parents!"
Landon looked at Harper with a severe expression and unsheathed a knife from behind his waist.
A gleam of cold light flashed.
A hand of both Harper and Sam was cut off and fell to the ground. Blood gushed from their wounds.
"Ahhhhh!"
They screamed in pain.
"Get down on your knees and apologize to Mr. Jaber," Landon said coldly.
"Mr. Jaber, I'm so sorry. Please spare me."
Harper and Sam peed their pants in terror. They clutched their wrists and kneeled with pained expressions, apologizing profusely.
Landon, the Super Slayer, was so powerful that they couldn't afford to defy him.
Haylan glanced at the blood on the ground and said with a frown, "Go away! Don't let me see you again."
Haylan and Sam were elated that Haylan would get them off the hook. They picked up their bloody hands from the ground and took to their heels.
Other hooligans immediately beat it with pale faces too.
"A bunch of losers!"
Landon stared after them with disdain in his eyes. Then he looked around and handed Haylan a card. "If they come at you again, call me. I'll take care of it."
"Okay. Thank you," Haylan replied.
"You're welcome. You saved Ms. Labenz. That made you our friend. I have a meeting to attend. I have to go. See you around."
Landon shook hands with Haylan and then got in his car and left.
On the road, his phone rang. Reign's voice sounded on the other end of the line. "Mr. Katz, have you seen him? How do you like him? Do you think he's qualified to be my bodyguard?"
Immediately after the plane landed, Reign sent her subordinates to check Haylan's background. When word came back that someone was bullying Haylan's parents, she instantly sent Landon to help them.
Landon glanced at Haylan in the rear mirror and replied calmly, "He fights well, but it remains to be seen whether he's good enough to be your personal bodyguard.
"We can't be too careful given the tensions in the family recently. Don't rush into any decision."
Reign couldn't argue with that.
Haylan looked at the Rolls-Royce until it went out of his sight. He then tossed Landon's card away.
As the Mercenary King, he was too proud to ask anyone for help.
Charlie and Felicia were so relieved to see those guys finally leave.
They slumped to the ground, huffing and puffing with sweat all over their foreheads.
After a short while, Felicia rose to her feet and hurriedly pulled Haylan into the house, closing the door behind them.
Charlie sat down on the sofa and lit a cigarette. Glaring at Haylan, he grumbled, "You little punk landed us in hot water even before you walked through the door."
"Dad, I've taken care of everything."
Haylan felt sorry when he glanced at his father's grey hair and added, "I promise to find a secure job and take care of you when you're old and ill. I'll get married and have lots of children. You'll have lots of fun with them."
Charlie stiffened, his gaze locked on Haylan. The emotions in his eyes changed.
The younger Haylan would never say such things.
Charlie felt warm, and his eyes became watery, but he kept a gloomy face and grumbled, "You smart-mouthed douchebag. I won't believe you until the day you carry out your promise.
"You said the same thing eight years ago, but you left home, and we never heard from you again!
