Chapter 903
“Mr. Jaber, we would like to collaborate with Ms. Labenz from the Mapleturz Group. Could you arrange it?”
“Mr. Katz, we want to work with Mapleturz Group.
“Ms. Lynch, we want to work with you.”
“Ms. Labenz, we request collaboration.”
Reign, Haylan, and others received a barrage of calls from countless industry leaders, all introducing themselves
and expressing their immediate desire to collaborate.
Reign, Landon, and Yvonne were left stummed and speechless.
After all, they had never expected things to turn out this way.
Reign, in particular, was astounded.
She had anticipated many people at the pharmaceutical conference expressing interest in collaboration. However,
due to recent incidents, apart from Josef and Gatsby, no one had made any verbal commitments to long–term
collaboration. After their escape, she had not received any messages either.
Never had she imagined that once she survived and found herself on the Shadow Knight’s vessel, these calls would
start pouring in.
It indicated that there were many people interested in collaborating with her previously, but various circumstances
had prevented them from agreeing, and they had been observing from the sidelines.
Now, witnessing her successful escape and her presence on the Shadow Knight’s ship, these individuals finally
became certain of her in–depth connection with the mercenary group. Consequently, they eagerly reached out to
collaborate. Realizing this, she remained calm and composed as she said, “Hi, if you wish to collaborate, please
send your representatives to our company for an appointment.”
She then exchanged a glance with Yvonne and Landon.
Both of them understood the glance and started politely declining those callers, directing them to make
appointments at the Mapleturz Group.
Once finished, they hung up the phone and refused to take any more calls.
With puzzlement, Yvonne asked, “Rei, we are now quite popular. Why don’t we seize this opportunity and agree to
collaborate with those companies?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReign’s gaze turned frosty as she retorted, “When we were facing hardships, not a single one of them came to our
aid. Now that we have achieved success and the Mapleturz Group has grown beyond a small entity, they suddenly
want to
collaborate, huh?”
She was furious!
The recent expedition to the Whileal Kingdom proved to be a mix of rewards and challenges, as it presented
troublesome encounters and an array of problems. Throughout the journey, she had to endure mistreatment from
various individuals she crossed paths with.
However, at that time, the Mapleturz Group was quite weak and vulnerable. She found herself in a position of
needing help and being in someone else’s territory, she had no choice but to endure and suppress her grievances.
Now, with the Mapleturz Group’s established reputation and the proven effectiveness of the longevity elixir, she
would not simply grant those people collaboration so easily.
Moreover, she now had a skeptical attitude toward those overseas companies. She would not choose to collaborate
with them until she thoroughly investigated those individuals or organizations.
After all, the tables had turned, and she had become the one in a position of power.
Upon hearing this, Yvonne quickly responded, “As long as the company thrives, I don’t mind facing mistreatment
personally.”
She shook her head and said, “Yvie, don’t rush. The more critical the situation, the less we should panic. Rushing
will only lead to trouble!”
With a nod, Landon said, “Now that so many people want to collaborate with us, we have the power to choose. We
won’t have to worry about not finding anyone to work with.”
Lawrence chimed in, “Even if we don’t collaborate with those people, the project with Josef, which is worth tens of
billions

of dollars, alone is enough to elevate the Mapleturz Group. Yvie, there’s no need to rush
Reign added, “Now, we are in control, and they have to follow our lead. So, don’t worry about lacking business
opportunities.”
Yvonne’s eyes lit up as she swiftly grasped the situation, a smile forming on her face.
“Alright, everyone, take some rest. I’m going out for some fresh air.”
Haylan observed them for a moment, offering a faint smile before departing.
He did not understand much about business matters, nor did he want to get involved.
Right now, he had more important things to attend to.
Leaving the cabin, he walked onto the deck.
He cast a gaze upon the serene and tranquil sea, his expression devoid of emotion, yet a fleeting glimmer of
coldness flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, Leonard approached from behind and respectfully said, “Mr. Jaber, if I may be so bold to ask, have
we met before?”
As he spoke, he stared intently at the man before him.
He had been harboring a question for some time, but the presence of numerous individuals made it unsuitable for
him to
ask at that moment.
Finally finding himself alone with the man, he gathered his courage and seized the opportunity to ask the long–
awaited question.
Having spent time with Haylan, he had witnessed firsthand the immense power he possessed. He had seen how
effortlessly people obeyed his commands, including himself, reacting instinctively without even thinking.
It was a reflex!
It was a conditioned response that he had only experienced in the presence of the Sovereign of Shadows.
Connecting this with Haylan’s various extraordinary abilities and considering the fact that even someone as unruly
as Xander willingly joined the Mapleturz Group’s security department and obeyed him, a bold idea formed in his
mind Haylan was the Sovereign of Shadows!
Thus, upon seeing the man alone, he immediately approached to ask.
Haylan lit a cigarette, took a drag, and turned to look at him. “What do you want to ask?”
He stared at the man with a cigarette and said word by word, “Are you our Sovereign?”
Haylan chuckled, asking “What do you think?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You are!”
“Where’s the evidence?”
“My intuition!”
“Is your intuition accurate?”
“I am a beast tamer, and I practice a mind control technique. My intuition is accurate and has never been wrong?
“If you already believe I am, then what’s the point of asking?”
Upon hearing this, he was left speechless.
In the next moment, he was overwhelmed with joy.
Haylan’s words were tantamount to an admission!
Haylan walked over, patting his shoulder lightly, and said calmly, I don’t want my whereabouts to be exposed, so
keep it a secret for me.”
His voice was the same as the one Sovereign of Shadows used at Shadow Knight.
Upon hearing that voice, Leonard’s scalp tingled, and goosebumps ran all over his body
Immediately after, unparalleled excitement and joy surged within him, causing his body to tremble with excitement.
This voice was so familiar!
It was the Sovereign of Shadows!
“I pay my respects…”
Overwhelmed with joy, he was about to kneel.
Haylan held him up and said calmly, “I’ve already said that my identity must be kept secret. Don’t kneel.”
“Yes, right. I won’t kneel.” He nodded, his eyes filled with fervor as he looked at the man in front of him.
At this moment, he was even more shocked.
Throughout, he had been under the impression that his Sovereign was an older individual, perhaps middle–aged or
elderly. The realization that his Sovereign was actually so young came as a complete surprise, leaving him utterly
astonished.
Haylan took a drag of his cigarette, helping him to his feet, and said with a cold gaze, “You’ve arrived just in time. I
have a task for you.”
“Please do, Sovereign. I promise to complete the mission,” he exclaimed with excitement.
Haylan exhaled a puff of smoke, his voice cold, “Investigate which forces have ambushed or targeted us tonight.
Demand that those families and forces hand over the individuals responsible for planning the ambush or
assassination within five hours, or else there will be no mercy.”
