Chapter 125 Mercenary King Invincible

• Presently, many students were gathered in groups as they chattered away happily. Haylan glanced around and after not managing to find Perry and Noah, he frowned slightly with worry. Why were the two of them not there yet! Could something have gone wrong? He found a quieter place to sit down before taking out his phone, and sending a message to Noah. [I’m here. Where are you?] About five minutes later. Noal texted his reply. [I’m in the subway. I’ll be there in a while.] [Where is Perry? Is he with you?] [He has some family matters, so he won’t be coming today.] [What happened?] It’s hard to explain through text, I’ll tell you when we meet. [Okay:] Haylan frowned slightly as he put down his phone. His instincts told him that Perry might be in trouble. However, since he didn’t have all the details, he couldn’t be sure. He could only wait for Noah to arrive before doing anything. He raised his head and looked around. He realized that many people were surrounding Corey like stars surrounding the moon. They were fawning over him and trying to get in his good graces. “Mr. Lanton, I heard that your two houses are going to be demolished. They’re seven floors in total.
• If the demolition takes place, you’ll be a millionaire.” “Congratulations, Mr. Lanton.” “When I first met Mr. Lanton in high school, I already felt that he was not an ordinary person. He would definitely become a dragon among men in the future.” “Mr. Lanton, come on, let’s have a drink.” Those people smiled and looked at Corey with envy and respect. Corey’s family was not very rich, but he had a local rural household registration of Lightdom City. The compensation for the demolition of the two houses was as high as 20 million dollars. As long as the demolition of the houses took place, Corey would become a millionaire with a bright future. “Don’t do that. The matter has just been finalized. Our family hasn’t even signed the contract. It’s all nonsense. It’s not for definite yet.” Corey chuckled and waved his hand humbly. In fact, he was overjoyed. Although his family didn’t get the money, his village was indeed included. As long as the developer began their work, their family could obtain at least tens of millions of dollars as compensation. They could also obtain shares of large corporations. and three houses located in the city center. Such an asset was enough for him to go all the way to the top of the pyramid. This was also the reason why so many local students were fawning over him. Of the local demolition families in Lightdom City, many of them were only given millions. Only a few were given tens of millions Moreover, Corry was not only able to get a lot of money from the demolition, but he also owned a company worth around. a million dollars. He could just be considered a giant among men. Combined with the demolition compensation, Corey’s company might advance and achieve great things. That was why these students were so respectful toward Corey because of his potential. Corey also enjoyed this kind of flattery.
• He felt like a king. He was overjoyed and could not help but smile. “How childish.” Haylan looked at Corey and shook his head slightly. He lit a cigarette and smoked while he waited. As time passed, more and more students came over. However, most of these people were snobs and were not familiar with Haylan. Moreover, when they saw Haylan dressed so old-fashionedly, their gazes became even more disdainful. They completely ignored Haylan and went to chat with some other students who were dressed gorgeously and looked rich at a glance. The atmosphere was lively. No one cared about Haylan. He didn’t care about this. He smoked and waited quietly. In any case, high school gatherings, alumni association, and so on were all to compare how they were doing. He was not here for Corey and the others. He was here for Perry and Noah. He didn’t care about the others. “Haylan, come, let’s have a drink together.” At this moment, Jim walked over with two glasses of red wine. He handed one to Haylan with a smile and a grateful look in his eyes. “Thank you so much for what happened last time.” Last time, if it weren’t for Haylan, he might have been in trouble.. “It’s nothing. You don’t have to be so polite.” Haylan took the glass of wine and clinked glasses with Jim. Jim sat beside Haylan. He looked at his classmate who was sucking up to Corey but neglecting Haylan. He frowned slightly. “Haylan, why don’t you do something?” He knew that Haylan was now a millionaire. Moreover, he had specially looked at the shares that Haylan had bought. They had already increased several times. One could imagine how much wealth Haylan had. If Haylan revealed his wealth, the attitude of those snobbish students would definitely change. “I don’t even know them that well. What’s there to show?” Haylan said calmly. Jim nodded and looked at Haylan with even more admiration. He sighed. I really envy you for being so tolerant.” He felt that Haylan would be able to hide everything with ease. Even when he was looked down upon, Haylan remained calm and unaffected.
