The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 31

“Well, I won’t Tracy nodded and looked at Haylan trustingly.

Ten minutes later, Haylan finished the massage, and the tumor in Tracy’s abdomen finally disappeared.

Haylan breathed a sigh of relief and said. “Okay. The hernia is gone. Tracy doesn’t need to have surgery tomorrow.

He stroked Tracy’s head very gently and lovingly and then picked her up. “Floris, since Tracy wants to go home, then let’s go now. After all, kids won’t sleep well in the hospital.”

A little uneasy, Floris checked Tracy multiple times and asked her many questions. After confirming that Tracy was fine, she was relieved with tears in her eyes and nodded. “Okay, Let’s go home.

After Floris packed her things. Haylan picked up Tracy and left the hospital with the two.

When Haylan wanted to call a taxi, Floris stopped him and told him to take the bus to save money.

“Floris, this won’t save you much money. Just take a taxi.” Haylan said.

Floris tried to say something but couldn’t convince Haylan, so she got into the taxi.

The taxi passed the Skyriver district and Skyriver Bus Station of Lightdom City, speeding towards Dragon Hole. About thirty minutes later, they came to a very remote area.

Unlike the prosperity of Lightdom City, this place was obviously a slum area, poor and backward. It was almost the edge of this bustling city, full of smelly drains, piles of garbage, rats, and cockroaches.

Floris lived in a dilapidated house with one bedroom and one living room. This was destitute, even without a water heater or washing machine.

However, the house was kept clean by Floris.

“Floris, why do you live in this place? Haylan frowned.

They were also poor and living in dilapidated houses, but at least that was in an urban village.

This place was much worse than their home.

“It’s not where I live but the house I rent,” Floris explained.

“You rent this?” Haylan was stunned.

Floris didn’t say much and went to get a glass of water for Haylan.

“Uncle, my dad kicked us out after divorcing my mom,” Tracy said in a childish voice, grabbing Haylan’s hand.

Hearing this, Haylan had a cold expression.

Liam was so evil that he went this far.

Haylan knelt and looked Tracy in the eye. Tracy, why don’t you go back to your grandparents’ place?”

“My mom said she didn’t know how to face my grandparents, so we did not go back.”

Tracy grabbed Haylan’s hand and begged, “Uncle, I want to see my grandparents. Can you take me to them?”

Since Haylan taught Liam a lesson and healed her, Tracy became increasingly dependent on Haylan and held him all the way back.

Haylan was frowning more tightly.

He knew Floris’s character and temper. She must have been very determined to marry Liam and was stopped by her parents, because of which she broke up with them. So, after Liam cheated, she didn’t want to go home.

“Haylan, drink water.”

At this moment, Floris picked up the water glass and handed it to Haylan.

Haylan took the water glass and took a sip of water. “Floris, I’ve got a job. I’ll be working as a security guard for the Mapleturz Group.

“To celebrate it, I will treat the whole family to dinner this weekend. Just join us.”

Hearing this, Floris had an embarrassed expression.

However, facing Haylan’s sincere gaze, she finally nodded and said, “OK”

“I will come to pick you up then,” Haylan said with a smile.

At this moment, Tracy’s eyes lit up. She went to the window and picked up the two hundred dollars on the ledge. “Mom, someone gave money to us again.”

Holding the two hundred dollars, Floris looked out the window but found no one.

“Someone is giving you money?” Haylan had a puzzled look.

“Uncle, we have a guardian deity.”

Tracy jumped up and down excitedly and said, “Every once in a while, that guardian deity will give us money.”

Hearing her words, Haylan had even more puzzled eyes.

“Someone is giving them money?

“Who is so kind? I can’t believe that. Haylan wondered.

He went to the window and looked carefully, finding a set of footprints.

These footprints were very faint. He wouldn’t find it If he was not looking at it carefully.

He turned to look at Floris.

“I don’t know who is so kind to us. Since I moved here, someone has sent money every mid-month. Sometimes it’s tens of dollars, and sometimes it’s hundreds.

Floris took the money and said with mixed feelings, “I looked into it, but I couldn’t figure out who that guy was.”

“That must be a kind person,” Haylan said.

“When I have enough money, I must find that person and repay his or her kindness.” Floris looked grateful.

“Maybe it is her, Haylan said inwardly.

The footprint outside the window was clearly from a woman, though he didn’t say it.

After chatting for a while, Haylan made an excuse and left. After a long time, he found a bank and withdrew 30 thousand dollars from three ATMs.

He wrapped the money in a discarded newspaper and bought some light and nutritious supper. When he returned to Floris’ home, he put the money on a table.

“What is this?” Floris asked.

“I’ve been working for eight years and saved much money. That’s part of it. Just take it and use it to solve some urgent problems.

“That’s it. I’m leaving now. See you later!”

After putting down the money, Haylan immediately found an excuse to leave there quickly without giving Floris a chance

to refuse.

“Haylan!”

With her expression changed, Floris yelled hastily.

However, Haylan had run out of sight and could not stand her yelling.

Feeling helpless, Floris walked back and opened the newspaper.

What she saw shocked her immediately.

This was cash.

And all of it was green.

This massive pile of cash prevented her from taking her eyes off it..

Looking at the money, Floris knelt on the ground with red eyes and unstoppable tears.

Since her divorce from Liam, she has been living a hard life. There was no one helping her, and she had to suffer alone.

But now, Haylan bought a midnight snack and gave her so much money, which made her feel the warmth of family all at once. She felt that the weak point of her heart was touched and burst into tears.

“Mom, don’t cry”

Tracy stepped forward and stroked Floris’ face, comforting her with a high-quality voice.

Haylan walked down the street with tears and anger in his red eyes.

“No wonder my mother said my sister was having a bad time. Actually, she was much more miserable than my mom said.

“I hope my sister can live better. Haylan thought.

Haylan wiped away his tears, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Nothing would have turned out like this if he had been at home these eight years.

He decided that from now on, he must take good care of the family and help any member of the family live a happy life. without suffering.

Just then, a Porsche stopped in front of Haylan.

The rear window was opened. Lucy poked her head out and said excitedly, “I finally found you.”

“Why are you here?” Haylan was taken aback.

“Do you know I’ve been looking for you for a long time?”

Lucy got out of the car immediately and held Haylan hand tightly for fear that he would walk away. She said gratefully, “You saved my grandpa, but I don’t know your name yet.”

“Haylan Jaber,” Haylan said. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Haylan, since you don’t want money, let me treat you to dinner. I can show my thanks by that,” Lucy said.

Haylan rubbed his belly and nodded immediately, “Okay, I’m hungry. Let’s go to the food stall.”

“Food stall?” Lucy was taken aback.

She had never been to that kind of place to have meals since she was born.

In her opinion, food stalls were dirty and messy, quite unhygienic.

“What’s wrong?” Haylan asked.

“Nothing. Let’s go then.”

Lucy smiled sweetly and pulled Haylan into the car, saying to the driver, “Go.”

The driver started the engine and then went to a nearby food stall.

This was a late-night food stall with many customers, very lively.

Haylan and Lucy exited the car and sat at a table.

“Sir, two pairs of grilled chicken wings, one grilled eggplant, a dozen oysters, two bowls of seafood porridge, and two

bottles of beer.

Haylan ordered food with a calm look as soon as he sat down.

The waiter quickly left after taking the menu and handed the menu to the chef.

“Mr. Jaber, can you finish so much food?” Lucy looked puzzled.

“Don’t worry. I can,” Haylan said with a smile..

“Mr. Jaber, your medical skills are really amazing. Who is your master?” Lucy asked curiously.

“An old man with a white beard,” Haylan said with a smile.

Thinking of the experience of the past eight years, he smiled.

If it weren’t for that old man teaching him, he wouldn’t have become so powerful in just eight years.

“An old man with a white beard?” Lucy blinked, still puzzled.

However, no matter how much she asked, Haylan kept prevaricating rather than answering her directly.

After about twenty minutes, the food was served one by one.

Haylan chatted with Lucy while enjoying the food.

Bang!

At this moment, the sound of a wine bottle being smashed sounded. Then came a very rude yell.

“What the fuck? Are you blind when walking?”

Haylan looked back and saw a middle-aged woman in waitress clothes with her back turned to him, apologizing to a group

of customers.

Among the group of people, a young man with hair dyed blonde was yelling at the middle-aged woman, “Do you know how much my clothes are? This is Armani, and it is worth two thousand dollars. Do you think I will leave it wet like this?”

His clothes were soaked with beer.

Tm sorry. It was my fault. Let me wipe it for you. The middle-aged woman apologized grovelingly and tried to wipe his clothes.

Clap!

The young man was furious and slapped the middle-aged woman to the ground while yelling. “Shut the fuck up! Wipe it for me? Don’t touch my clothes with your dirty hands, bitch!”

The woman was beaten, which made her turn half a circle and face Haylan. She was in a panic while bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

All the food she was carrying fell to the ground, messy everywhere.

“Mom?”

After seeing the woman’s appearance, Haylan immediately stood up with a big change in expression.

He recognized the middle-aged woman as his mother, Felicia.
