Chapter 6

Haylan’s face was glowering, and a murderous glint flashed across his eyes.

No one had the balls to stab him in the back when he was abroad. Even the royals had to think twice before they took something from him.

“Declan had no idea what price he would pay when he stole my money,” Haylan thought in seething.

anger.

“Haylan, how have you been these years?” Felicia asked with concern.

“Not too bad. Just working at different places,” Haylan replied.

“It must have been hard for you, my son.”

Felicia put a change of clothes in Haylan’s hands and caressed his face with an apprehensive look in her misty eyes.

The past eight years had been tough for her, and she believed that life must have been tougher for Haylan when he had to try to make a living in a foreign land.

Tears brimmed over and fell down her cheeks when she thought of the hardships Haylan might have gone through.

“Mom, I’m fine.” Haylan wiped her tears gently.

He felt wistful when he looked at his mother’s grey hair.

“Dad and Mom went through a lot in the past eight years. I’m going to make them live a happy life,” Haylan thought.

He had come back for a mission his master gave him.

After getting it done, he had no intention of going abroad again. His parents had aged a lot when he was gone, and he felt terrible about that. He wanted to keep them company for the rest of their lives. With that thought in mind, Haylan took out his phone and called his master. “Master, what is the mission exactly?”

An old voice sounded over the line. “The target hasn’t appeared yet. Just enjoy your life and do what you need to do. When the target shows up, I’ll call you.
