“Beer With a lugh school girl present, let’s not drink anymore Haylan Jaber frowned slightly

He had just been drinking with his parents at home, so he didn’t want to have more

“It’s okay. I could use a beer”

Mia Schmidt nodded immediately. Then, she waved at the owner of the barbecue stall and said. “Sir, can we have a package of Budweiser, please?

“A package That’s a lot Haylan was stunned.

“We haven’t seen each other for so long, so I’m happy. Drink as much as you want. Don’t be shy! It’s on met Mia said with a

smile.

“No. I promised you to buy you dinner. You are not going to pay for ud Noah Wrinkler refused immediately

“Alright, then, let’s order everything we liked back then,” Mia said.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to lose weight? Haylan was stunned

“I don’t care Nothing can stop me” said Mia

At first, the three were still somewhat awkward and tried to control themselves. However, as the barbecued food was served. they are, drank, and chatted. Soon, they regained the connection they had back in the old days.

After the conversation started, the distance between the three of them gradually disappeared They chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was joyful

They even talked about the things that happened when they were studying and the gossip between their classmates. It instantly closed the distance between them, and they became close again.

Mia Schmidt enjoyed the barbecue and beer.

“Aren’t you on a diet? Haylan Jaber and Noah Wrinkler were both speechless.

Im happy today, so of course Ill eat more You don’t know, but my manager and assistant won’t let me eat barbecue”

Tm happy today, so, of course, I’ll eat more. My agent and assistant don’t even let me eat barbecue. Bring a celebrity is too hard. I am not allowed to eat many things and have to control my figure strictly Mia complained as she ate.

Haylan and Noah did not speak

It was challenging to keep in shape as a celebrity, but who could lead an easy life in this society?

Haylan Jaber had to go through hardships and narrowly escaped death to return to Lightdom City.

After the company went bankrupt, Noah spent daily at the construction site and worked as

The hardships that Mia had experienced were nothing compared to theirs.

Mia seemned to understand that her complaints didn’t make sense, so she immediately changed the topic. “Do you still remember our homeroom teacher? Two years ago. Theld a concert at Lightdom City and had a chance to visit him.

“Unfortunately, he had cancer and passed away last year.

Before dying, he kept talking about you, Haylan. He said that he didn’t know how you were doing overseas.”

When Haylan heard that, he felt guilty. He took a sip of beer and said, “When I’m free, I’ll go and pay my respects to him.”

When he was in high school, the homeroom teacher took good care of him.

Now that he had returned to the country, the teacher who had once helped him was no longer alive.

Everything remained the same, but the beloved could be found nowhere.

“Mm, his wife misses you a lot too. We should visit her when we’re free,” said Mia.

“Sure” Noah and Haylan nodded

Mia was overjoyed After agreeing on a time to pay respects to the teacher, they kept drinking.

The three of them shared everything in their life with each other. They talked about various things in their respective futures, from high school to after graduation. In the end, they even fantasized about the future.

The future that Noah yearned for was very simple. He only hoped to return to a normal life, start a small business, earn money and trud a nice girl to marry and have children in the future

Haylan did not know his future because he did not know what kind of mission the master would give him.

However, noticing Noah and Mia were waiting for his answer, he could only make up the future he wanted. He yearned to

stabilize, to have his own family, and even more so to have his own children.

To be precise. Just like Noah, he wanted to have a normal life again.

After eight years as a mercenary, he was used to seeing life and death, witnessing miseries, and trying to move on. He would change locations every three to five days to carry out missions.

He was already tired of his mercenary life. He especially wanted to settle down and spend time with his future family.

“It’s been so many years, and you haven’t dated anyone?” Mia looked at Haylan.

“I’ve always been single. Haylan shook his head.

In these eight years, he had many women and beautiful working partners, like the princess of the royal family in Europe, the flirtatious religious holy maid, the wild secret agent, and the loaded young married women….

However, they were working today. After spending a night together, they could not build any connection.

Moreover, most of those women had impure motives for getting close to him

Moreover, most women had approached him with purpose. Haylan had always kept his guard up against those women. He had no interest in them except for satisfying his needs.

Three years ago, he once slept with the daughter of a princess from a country producing oil while on a mission. That foreign princess treated him exceptionally well, fawned over him, and intended to give up everything to live a secluded life with him.

After that, he pretended to be injured for three days and even specially instructed the doctor to tell her he might be paralyzed for the rest of his life.

In the end, when she heard this news, her expression changed right away. The next day, she abandoned him and left, not caring about his life or death.

From then on. Haylan Jaber got over it.

Those women had taken a fancy to his identity as Sovereign of Shadows and wanted to use his deterrence to achieve their own goals.

Haylan longed for a woman who could ignore his identity and ability, purely love him as a person, and never leave him.

Therefore, he had never thought of the women he had in the past as his girlfriends. At most, they would be his partners in bed for a few nights!

When Mia heard that Haylan was single, her eyes lit up. She was delighted and kept pouring him drinks.

“Selena, no, no, no, sorry, Mimi. What about you? What are your plans for the future?” Noah asked.

Mia put down her glass and sighed. With a devastated look in her eyes, she said, “Being an actress replies a lot on appearance. It’s not a long-term plan. Once my investor supports others, I might have no projects anymore.

“I want to go back to school to study and be a theater screenwriter.”

“How nice! Just go for it,” Noah said.

At the mention of this, Mia looked even more frustrated. Her eyes were filled with disappointment and sadness as she said, “I took the exam. I came in first in the written test. During the interview, that perverted examiner wanted to sleep with me. Of course, I refused him, so he played dirty and eliminated me.

“Not only was I rejected, but he also mocked me for being a two-bit actress and told me I would never be in that industry.” She took a sip of beer and mocked herself, “Ever since I failed the scriptwriting exam, that dirty old fox has been targeting me. He badmouthed me to the investor and even had many directors ruin my scenes and positions.

“I was supposed to be the female lead in my latest show. In the end, the production team gave that role to an unknown

actress!

“It’s said that she agreed to sleep with that perverted examiner, so that was how she stole my role and be in the drama

theater.

“In this day and age, in the entertainment industry, without a backer, one won’t have any resources. Without a big shot’s support, I won’t have any scenes to film. It’s very difficult for me in the entertainment industry!”

Haylan and Noah heard that and didn’t know what to say.

Although they were not in the entertainment industry, they knew that it was especially chaotic.

Without a strong backer, it was impossible to keep clean and untainted!

She refused to be dominated by the rules, but she would lose all his resources.

They were not surprised that Mia was targeted.

“If you have evidence, you can ruin that actress reputation” Haylan said.

Theard the news from others, so there’s no evidence Mia smiled wryly

“Hey, Mia, what is our two-bit actress doing here?”

Just as Haylan and Noah were thinking about how to comfort Mia, a woman talked with a strange tone.

A Bentley had already stopped in front of the barbecue stall. A fashionable and noble beauty walked out and looked at Mia with disdain She morked. “Well you pretended to be so holy and noble, and look what you are doing now? It turns out that you’re also selling your soul

“Wearing high school uniform? Are you trying to please any investor here?”
