Chapter 1

High above the sky, a sliver plane was flying through clouds colored red and orange by the morning

In the plane, Haylan Jaber leaned against the window frame and looked down at the rugged, mountains below, feeling a bit edgy. “It’s been eight years. How are Mom and Dad? With all the money I sent back, they must have moved into a big mansion, he thought.

He was twenty-eight years old and had thick brows and stunningly beautiful eyes. He was quite good-looking

He had a worn duffel bag across his shoulder and wore a white tank top, a plaid shirt with jeans, and a pair of muddy cowboy boots. They were all cheap stuff, and he looked downright broke.

However, the cold, fleeting gleam in his eyes was sharp as a fine knife that could slice anyone’s throat in the blink of an eye.

The stubble on his chin made him look older than he was.

Looking out of the window, he peered down at the familiar yet strange city below the clouds with anticipation in his eyes.

Eight years ago, he had left his hometown and gone abroad, ending up being tricked into the devil’s

den.

He’d been treated like an aminal there and gone through the darkest and most horrible things. That place was hell.

They put him through hard labor, took his blood, and sold it. They even wanted to take one of his kidneys.

Fortunately, before they did that, a group of mercenaries with masks broke in and saved him. After that, he joined them and started training under the head of the mercenaries. He hid his identity with the mask they gave him and became a medic who supported other soldiers in numerous missions. Since then, he’d been living in anonymity as a mercenary.

Eight years had passed. Starting from the lowest rank, he gradually climbed to the top of the military ladder and became the Mercenary King, who was now known as the Sovereign of Shadows.

Under his command, Shadow Knights had killed drug lords, warlords, and generals and threatened the Lord of Whileal Kingdom. He’d been living on the edge, and gunshots were part of his everyday life, but he had also raked in fortunes.

Every month, with no exceptions, he would disappear from the army for a few days to meet a friend from his hometown and working abroad, asking him to help send a significant sum of cash home to his parents.

He didn’t use bank transfers for fear that his parents information might be leaked and his enemies might take revenge on them

Haylan was sure that with all the money he’d earned as a mercenary in the past eight years, his family would have long got rid of poverty and lived a luxurious and carefree life.

“Mr. Jaber, thank you for your help”

At this moment, a young woman walked to his side and looked at him with an eager face.

She was a knockout with big eyes, sensual lips, and creamy, unblemished skin.

She was curvy with big boobs and willowy without a spare ounce.

It was hard to look away from her lovely assets.
