The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 64

Jasmine said with a professional smile, “I’m sorry, sir. I can’t tell you that.”

“You can’t tell me even a little bit?” Mr. Landon frowned.

“I’m sorry, but our rule is that we can’t reveal information about our clients. Please forgive us.” Jasmine smiled.

Mr. Landon had no choice but to give up asking. He drove away with the beauty.

“Wow, Mr. Landon, this BMW 5 Series is really different.”

The beautiful woman sat in the front passenger seat, her eyes shining with excitement.

“The BMW 5 Series is indeed different.” Mr. Landon smiled.

He felt very happy that he had bought a new car.

However, he could not get excited no matter what when he thought that Haylan might be the person who bought the BMW 8 Series. He felt that he was being suppressed by Haylan.

After all, Haylan was the poorest man amongst his previous classmates.

Wouldn’t Haylan have turned his life around and done better than him if he was the one who bought the BMW 8 Series?

He thought, “That’s impossible, right? I know Haylan’s family background. He can’t afford such an expensive luxury car.

“However, Haylan has been overseas for eight years. It’s normal for him to earn that money over the years.

“No, no. With Haylan’s ability, he definitely won’t be able to earn that much.”

Mr. Landon drove absent–mindedly, his mind filled with wild thoughts.

Haylan drove the BMW 8 Series back to Healthbridge Hospital.

It was already afternoon when Haylan came to bring Floris home.

After a morning of recuperation, Floris had recovered her mobility and could walk on her own.

Her expression changed slightly when she saw Haylan’s car. “Haylan, is this your car?”

Although she did not know what kind of car it was, she could tell from the BMW 8 Series’s sleek design that it was not cheap.

“It’s just a car. Don’t be surprised.”

Haylan’s expression was calm as he gestured for Floris to get into the car. The two of them drove home. They parked the car before heading home.

Floris stood at the entrance of her house and refused to enter. She was uneasy and unsettled.

She had not seen her parents for so many years. Now that she was back, she still could not let go of her dignity.

“Dad, Mom, Floris is back.

“Tracy, your mother is back. Come and open the door.”

Seeing his sister like this, Haylan immediately opened his mouth and shouted.

“Mom!”

Accompanied by a clear and pleasant chime–like laughter, Tracy rushed out like a gust of wind and threw herself into Floris’s arms.

When the two elders saw Floris, their eyes turned red.

“Mom.”

Floris also looked at her parents with red eyes.

“Floris, you’ve lost weight. It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.” Felicia covered her face as tears streamed down.

“Mom!”

Floris finally broke down after hearing her mother’s words. She removed all of her defenses and threw herself into Felicia’s arms. She cried loudly and vented all the grievances and sadness she had suffered over the years.

Felicia also hugged Floris tightly.

Charlie’s eyes turned red when he saw this scene.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time.

“Come, come, come. Floris, come in quickly. I will cook for you. My poor daughter, you’ve lost weight.”

In the end, the family let bygones be bygones. Felicia pulled Floris into the house.

The family gathered together.

From the beginning to the end, Felicia held Floris’s hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Floris would leave again if she let go.

Haylan glanced around the house and asked, “Where’s Yelena, Queenie, and the others?”

“Yelena is working overtime at the hospital and won’t be able to come back. As for Queenie, she’s studying till late today. She’s about to take the college entrance examination but her grades are still not very good. Harris is in his first year of high school and is playing basketball with his classmates in school. He probably won’t be back for a long time. George will be home soon,” Charlie said.

Haylan’s two younger brothers, Harris and George, were in a different school from Queenie.. They were relatively far away and thus would take a longer time to come back.

Haylan was helpless and could only say, “I haven’t seen them in a long time. I’ll pick them up later and bring them home.”

“There’s no need to pick them up. It’s too far away. They can come back by bus,” Felicia said.

“It’s fine. I just bought a car.” Haylan smiled.

“You have the money to buy a car?”

Charlie and Felicia looked over with puzzled eyes.

“I’ve earned a lot of money from working overseas for the past eight years. I invested almost all of it into stocks and funds,” Haylan explained.

“How much did you invest?” Felicia and Charlie hurriedly asked.

“I bought 1 million dollars worth of shares and 600 thousand dollars in funds,” Haylan said truthfully.

“What?”

“Are you crazy?”

Hearing Haylan’s words, Charlie stood up on the spot and glared at Haylan. “W–where did you get so much money? What bad things did you do?”

Felicia and Floris also looked at Haylan with puzzled gazes.

That was close to 1.6 million dollars!

They probably would not have been able to earn that much money in their lifetime, yet Haylan used that money to buy stocks and funds?

Where did Haylan’s money come from?

“Dad, my money is clean. You don’t have to worry,” Haylan said.

“Hello, is Haylan home?”

At this moment, an extremely sweet voice rang out from outside.

Everyone turned around and saw Evelyn, who was dressed as a bank employee, appear at the door. She was smiling at Haylan and the others.

“You are…” Charlie, Felicia, and Floris were even more puzzled.

In particular, Felicia’s eyes lit up when she saw Evelyn.

This girl was very beautiful, had a good figure, and a big butt. She looked like she could bear a lot of children.

When did Haylan get to know such a beauty?

“She’s my classmate. She works at the bank. She can explain things to you.”

Haylan went out and welcomed Evelyn into the house. At the same time, he introduced the two parties.

He had already thought of a way to convince his parents before picking Floris up. His idea was to get Evelyn to personally come and explain matters. Producing documents and official procedures was the best way to convince them.

“Hello, Charlie, Felicia, Floris.”

Evelyn was polite as she nodded at Charlie, Felicia, and the others.

“Hello, hello. Evelyn, right? That’s a nice name. Please take a seat,” Charlie

said in a hurry.

Evelyn sat down and took out the documents she had prepared, as well as the bank notes for Haylan’s purchase of funds and stocks. She personally explained to Charlie and the others. She even personally proved that Haylan’s money was painstakingly earned and that there were no problems with the money after the bank’s investigation.

Charlie and Felicia heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that.

Then, Felicia glared at Haylan again. Her face was filled with displeasure as she said resentfully, “Are you all grown up now? Even if you have money, you shouldn’t waste it like this. Take out this money and buy a house and get married.

“Yet you are investing it in stocks and buying funds. Aren’t you giving the money to others? Haylan, you wastrel!”

The good–tempered Felicia became angry.

“Haylan, y–you’ll be the death of me!” Charlie was also furious.

Charlie and Felicia were traditional people. In their minds, buying stocks with so much money was akin to gambling. It was like giving money to others. They thought that people who bought stocks were destined to lose money.

Floris was also dumbfounded. Her mouth was agape, and she did not know what to say.

When Evelyn saw that they were about to criticize Haylan, she hurriedly explained, “No, no, no. Charlie, Felicia, you’ve misunderstood. Haylan isn’t losing money.

“On the contrary, he’s making money. A lot of money.”

“He’s making money?”

Charlie, Felicia, and Floris immediately looked at Evelyn with puzzled eyes when they heard this.

“How much did he make?” Charlie asked in a hurry.

Evelyn swallowed and took out her phone. She brought up the portfolio Haylan had bought and handed the phone over to Charlie, Felicia, and the others. “Take a look for yourselves.”
