“Mr. Atkinson, you’re asking me? Who should task, then? I don’t know anything about the two of them.”

Noah similed and said. “We just happened to meet at the class reunion today and decided to come back to the school to take

“If that’s the case, why is that man carrying Selena?”

“Mr. Atkinson, Selena’s leg is injured, so she can’t move around easily. Didn’t you see that the wound on her foot was still bleeding”

“Oly no, then she has to be treated quickly. Why is she still in the mood to stroll around the school? Aren’t you guys too

ambitious?”

“It’s fine. The wound has been treated. Nothing will happen.”

Noah walked into the security room and picked up Mr. Aikinson’s thermos before picking up a disposable cup and himself a cup, chatting and laughing with Mr. Atkinson.

While Noah was chatting with Mr. Atkinson, Haylan had already carried Mia to the school field.

At this moment, all the students were already having their evening self-study session. The sounds of reading aloud could be heard from some of the classes. Vagurly, they could hear someone

reciting ancient poems, “Against biting winds and high sky, the monkeys howl. Over clear water and white sands, birds fly back

In the foreign language corner of the school, some high school students were reciting foreign language words, and some students were speaking to each other in that language.

There were also classrooms where students were being tested for specific subjects.

1laylan and Mai sat on the field, and looked around at their surroundings, feeling a little emotional.

It had only been eight years, but the school field had changed from a small forest to a modern field. There was a football field, a track, as well as a basketball court.

There were even many table tennis tables at the edge of the field.

“I really didn’t expect the school to become so nice after we graduated.” Mia sighed.

“It’s one of the laws of schools. After you graduate, the school will definitely become better Haylan smiled.

The two of them chatted casually, talking about many things from the past and their good high school days.

Haylan also went to the school health office. He found gauze and alcohol, disinfected Mia’s wound, and bandaged it.

Mia looked at Haylan who was seriously treating her wound and said sincerely. “Haylan, when did you become so amazing?”

From what Mia could remember, although Haylan had also been stubborn in the past, he had not been that skilled. The current Haylan Jaber was terrifyingly strong, slaughtering so many venomous

snakes in the blink of an eye. He was so decisive in killing that he almost killed Sam Davies.

Such skills and methods had shocked Mia.

“I’ve just experienced some things and learned some skills,” Haylan said calmly

Haylan had learned all his skills in hell. He’d experienced life-and-death trials and tribulations. In a rain of bullets, he had. hovered between life and death and these skills were like a gift he’d received for going through all of that.

Thinking about what he had experienced in the past, Haylan felt quite emotional.

The bloody battles in the past felt like they’d occurred just yesterday.

Be it standing in the middle of the city or sitting at the edge of the school in the past, Haylan always had the feeling that he’d fallen asleep on the field as a student and just had a very long dream.

However, the moment he opened his eyes, the school field had changed, and so had he,

Limages of the past appeared in his mind as if he was racing past it all.

Haylan looked at everything in the school that was both familiar and unfamiliar and had mixed feelings.

Although Haylan had graduated from here, this place no longer belonged to him.

“Time really flies. In the past, I felt that it would be a long time before I grew up and I couldn’t wait for it to come. Now that

I’ve grown up. I realize that I was the most carefree when I was studying” Haylan sighed.

“Yeah, if possible, I wish to live a carefree high school life for the rest of my life.” Mia nodded in agreement.

“Then you’ve misunderstood. I don’t want to be stuck in high school” Haylan smiled.

Although Haylan missed the innocence of high school, he had no regrets about what he had experienced

No pain, no gain.

Haylan had experienced so much suffering and also obtained many skills. Now, he had the ability to protect his family, the ability to stand up for his friends, and the ability to protect his friends and family when they needed him.

All the suffering was worth it.

Mia looked up at Haylan in shock.

Mia thought for a moment before saying. “Haylan, I want to set up a dinner to settle the grudge between you and Maxwell”

“I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need. I don’t care about Maxwell Rivers. Haylan said confidently.

Not long ago. Haylan had completely defeated Maxwell. In the future, even if Maxwell appeared in front of him. Maxwell. would not dare to be so arrogant.

“Maxwell’s father is a five-star Lord and holds great power in the Lightdom Military Department. If you continue to fight him, you will definitely not be Maxwell’s match” Mia’s eyes were filled with

worry.

Haylan smiled but did not continue speaking.

Mia frowned slightly, looking at Haylan’s determined and disdainful gaze. Mia immediately understood that Haylan was also a proud person and would not compromise Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Hence, Mia didn’t continue this line of conversation and changed the topic instead. “I saw you were quite good at carving previously and carved quite beautifully. Can you give me an emerald pendant?”

Haylan was also very forthright, taking out all the stones he had with him and placing them in front of Mia. “Which one do you want? Pick one yourself”

Mia’s eyes lit up as she looked at the stones, feeling like she wanted everything

It was too artistic, too beautiful and so vivid and lifelike!

However, Mia was restrained and not that greedy. Instead, she picked up a spirit stone in the shape of a horse and chuckled. Im born in the year of the horse, so I’ll choose this. Thank you.

“By the way, what do you want? In return, I’ll give you a gift as well

“I don’t think there’s anything special I want. If you want to return the favor, do as you see fit. Haylan said with a smile.

“Alright, then give me your address. I’ll send you a gift when it’s ready Mia smiled gently and placed the horse-shaped emerald pendant in her palm as if she had obtained a treasure that she loved and treasured dearly.

“This stone has been blessed. If you wear it by your side regularly, it will bring you wealth and good luck,” Haylan said. seriously.

“You still believe in these things? Isn’t this feudal superstition?” Mia asked

“Some things have been passed down for thousands of years for a reason,” Haylan answered.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. From today onwards, I’ll definitely wear it by my side and never leave it behind.” Mia nodded seriously, looking at Haylan with sparkling eyes

In the fishing village. Toby had already arrived at the scene and was carrying out an autopsy on Deacon’s skeleton to check the cause of his death.

Hugh looked at the skeleton, and he noticed the deformed bone on the skeleton’s arm. Hugh knew it then.

This skeleton was indeed Deacon Williams!

Hugh had been the one who had broken Deacon’s arm and poured cement into it, which was why it was deformed.

“Who would have killed him?” Hugh wondered to himself.

Hugh’s gaze was cold as he smoked a cigar. “Toby, have you found any clues?”

If they knew Deacon’s cause of death and made further deductions from there, Hugh might be able to find out who the

murderer waS,

Toby did not answer, continuing to examine the bones.

Hugh continued smoking and waited solemnly.
