Chapter 897: Chapter 902

As the man behind Shadow Knight, Haylan, in fact, did not even know how much wealth the organization possessed.

However, he had traveled on the most luxurious aircraft carriers of the organization and piloted the world’s most advanced fighter jets.

He had spent time at Shadow Knight’s military base and had seen some of the most extravagant things there.

Compared to those, the aircraft carrier before his eyes was nothing more than an ordinary large toy.

“Nothing special?”

“A small carrier?”

“Don’t be too surprised?”

Upon hearing his words, Reign, Yvonne, Landon, and Lawrence immediately turned their heads toward him with astonished expressions.

After all, despite being well–traveled and affluent, these individuals were astounded by the opulent design of this aircraft carrier.

They were also stunned to learn of Shadow Knight’s immense wealth.

Yet Haylan was saying that this was just a small carrier, with nothing special.

Reign quickly tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “Haylan, don’t say that.”

After all, they were still aboard the vessel of the mercenary group. If he were to speak unfavorably about the vessel and Leonard were to take offense, there was a risk of being expelled and abandoned, left stranded without any means of support.

Moreover, they still hoped to rely on the carrier to return to Longhard Kingdom.

Thus, if the master of the warship became angry, they would lose that opportunity.

In this unfamiliar land, finding a way back would be as challenging as reaching the sky.

“Ms. Labenz, it’s alright. Shadow Knight won’t get angry over such trivial matters. Leonard smiled faintly.

He then added, “Besides, Mr. Jaber is not entirely wrong. At Shadow Knight, this aircraft carrier is indeed nothing special.

After speaking, he turned his gaze back to Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, you seem to be quite knowledgeable about our organization. Have you…?”

Haylan remained calm and explained, “There’s a vanguard in Shadow Knight named Xander. He happened to join the Mapleturz Group, and he works directly under me.

“Well, everything I know about Shadow Knight comes from him.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard’s mouth twitched, and he muttered under his breath, “That spendthrift.

As Xander’s partner, he knew what kind of person he was, and he knew that he had a tendency to share a lot of information.

After all, Xander was not known for being discreet.

It was precisely because of that vanguard’s personality that Jeremy and many other high–ranking members rarely entrusted them with important tasks.

With these thoughts in mind, he could not help but feel some resentment toward Xander. He said, “I shall leave you all to your rest. I have some things to attend to. If you need anything, just give me a call With that, he turned and left.

Once he was gone, Reign let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest. Then she said to Haylan, “Haylan, you scared me just now.

Yvonne nodded in agreement and said, “Yes, Mr. Jaber, the way you spoke earlier seemed to underestimate Shadow Knight. Thankfully, Leonard is broad–minded and didn’t get angry.”

“If he were more petty and took offense to your words, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Landon also nodded in agreement.

What Haylan said just now was extremely dangerous, after all!

Even Landon was startled by it!

Haylan shook his head as he saw their cautious demeanor, saying, “People from Shadow Knight are still human beings, so you don’t have to be so nervous. You know, just treat them with a normal mindset.

“I think Leonard would prefer us to treat him as an ordinary friend rather than constantly treating him as a big shot and putting him on a pedestal. After all, such interactions can be exhausting.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone present smiled wryly.

“Haylan, it’s easy for you to say. But he’s a high–ranking member of Shadow Knight. Can ordinary folks like us really socialize with him?” Reign chuckled.

She was indeed the wealthiest person and a prominent figure in her country.

Yet, after seeing the aircraft carrier, she felt like an ordinary citizen in the presence of the mercenary group.

“Calm down. Their vanguard, Xander, is still in your company as a security guard,” Haylan said calmly.

She smiled wryly, “I think he’s just here to experience life. I can’t possibly boss around such an eminent individual.”

She knew her limits and understood that her influence was limited to her own country, realizing that once she stepped beyond its borders, she held no exceptional status.

However, Xander was different. With his identity in Shadow Knight, he could roam freely around the world.

Fearful of triggering his wrath to the point of destroying the Mapleturz Group, she refrained from asserting her authority over him.

When Landon and Yvonne heard this, they could not help but think more highly of Haylan.

They had also been to the security department and personally witnessed him commanding Xander, even assigning him cleaning duties.

The vanguard, regardless, had no objections to his assignments, obeying his every command. If he were to instruct them to undertake a task, he would never dare to refuse.

Moreover, they could tell that Xander admired him immensely.

It was evident that his status and power far surpassed that of the vanguard.

However, his true identity and background remained unknown to them.

Without him divulging the information, they felt hesitant to inquire further.

“It’s getting late. Let’s rest. We’ll probably have to hit the road again tomorrow,” Haylan said calmly.

Hearing his words, a realization dawned upon everyone that they had been caught up in a nocturnal escape, their senses heightened and nerves on edge. Right now, they could finally afford to relax and let their guard down.

Just then, Reign’s phone rang, and it was Josef on the line.

As she answered the call, her face lit up with joy. “Fantastic! Great! I’m glad to work with you.”

After hanging up, her eyes gleamed with excitement as she addressed Haylan, Yvonne, Landon, and Lawrence. Josef just called me. Deity Pharmaceutical Group has confirmed a long–term partnership with us. It’s worth tens of billions of dollars!”

While speaking, her excitement became palpable, causing her to jump up and down in exhilaration.

Yvonne and Landon, upon hearing the news, also became elated.

Collaborating with Josef meant opening up overseas markets and creating a significant breakthrough.

The Mapleturz Group would position itself among the foremost global commercial companies, opening doors for extensive future collaborations.

Before Reign could savor joy for too long, another call came in, this time from an international number.

After she answered the call, her eyes were filled with even more joy.

It was another enormous conglomerate seeking to establish a partnership with the Mapleturz Group.

This was just the beginning. Before long, Yvonne, Reign, and Landon were bombarded with calls from overseas.

Even Haylan found himself inundated with calls.

An endless stream of calls kept flooding in.

Furthermore, they all had one common goal: to seek collaboration!
