The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 7

Staring at Haylan, Declan was a bit thustered.

Other people all thought he made his fortune by running a trading company. Only he knew that the fund he used to establish the company was actually from Haylan.

Now, as he faced Haylan, he had a guilty conscience

“You do not want me to come back? Haylan asked in a cold voice.

Declan replied. “That is not what I mean. Haylan, you have got me wrong.”

Declan pretended to be calm and cracked a smile, saying tentatively, “Have you gone home yet? How about 1 arrange a welcome party for you?”

“Let’s talk about it later. I’ve just come back. Here is the thing. Did you pass the money I gave you to my parents? Haylan asked.

Upon hearing Haylan say that he had just returned. Declan felt relieved.

He laughed even more merrily and walked over. He put his arms around Haylan’s shoulders and said. “Haylan, rest assured, I am a man of my word. I have long given the money to your parents.

You have just come back. I guess you do not have a place to stay. Come to my place tonight. You can pick any room you want.

Haylan kept a straight face. Smoking a cigar, he still looked at Declan quietly and asked, “Are you sure you have given the money to my parents?”

“Of course. Bro. I can swear to God.

Declan lifted his hand and vowed solemnly. “I, Declan, am always loyal to my friends. If I’ve privately occupied your money, I shall come to a bad end and rot in hell.”

Haylan stared at him and said. “Since you gave them the money, it’s good then. I will go back and take a look”

After saying that, he meant to get up.

Declan stopped him in a hurry and said. “Haylan, we’ll talk about the money later. Let’s have a drink now. Remy Martin is a kind of foreign liquor.

“Besides, we’ve also made some rich, nutritious, and precious herbal liquor.”

After he said that, he hastened to pass a glass of wine to Haylan and himself also drank a glass.

Haylan picked up the glass, laughed, and sipped at the wine. He said. “Foreign liquor, Great. I will try

it.”

Seeing the scene, Declan finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

“You can not read the room at all. Go and make Haylan happy. He is my buddy.” Declan said.

He asked Haylan to drink the wine with hospitality and pushed a gorgeously dressed woman into Havian’s arms.

Those women had done this many times and immediately came around. They leaned against Haylan’s arms and talked to Haylan intimately. They also persuaded Haylan to drink as much as possible.

Haylan did not refuse them and had a good time.

“Haylan, cheers Declan took the opportunity to put some powder in Haylan’s glass and then passed the glass to Haylan

Haylan picked up the glass and meant to drink the wine without suspicion.

Seeing the scene, Declan sneered in his heart.

After drinking a lot, Declan got out of the bar with the excuse of going to the washroom.

He looked around extremely warily. After he made sure no one was around, he took out his phone and called his subordinate with red eyes, snapping with rage, “Harper, send your people to Charlie’s place to threaten him and make him move away right now.

“If he disagrees, just set the Jaber family’s house on fire!

“Anyway, no matter what you do, you mustn’t let Charlie continue staying there!”

Declan occupied Haylan’s money and enriched himself in his pocket. He did not give any cent to Haylan’s parents.

Now, he must stop Haylan and Charlie from meeting each other so that what he had done wouldn’t be disclosed.

On the other side of the line, Harper said helplessly, “Mr. Jackett, I’m still in the hospital now. I can not do it.”

“Hospital?” Declan was stunned.

“Today, we went to expel Charlie and his family, but we met a strong guy, and he just took us all down.” Harper explained.

“What the heck! I don’t care where you are. Go to Charlie’s place right now to catch them and detain them. Do not let them out without my permission!” Declan roared.

He could not let Charlie and Haylan meet each other!

Otherwise, there would be unimaginable consequences!

“Mr. Jackett, we cannot move now…” Harper felt so desperate that he wanted to cry now. His voice was full of terror.

At Charlie’s place, his arm was broken. How could he have the gut to mess with Haylan again?

“Knock it off. I don’t want to hear any excuses. Just set off within one hour. If you cannot have Charlie under control, I will kill you.”

Declan growled in rage.

Right at that moment, someone suddenly grabbed Declan’s phone.

“Who is it?” Declan turned around and roared angrily

However, very shortly, his expression changed.

It was Haylan who was standing behind him and holding Declan’s phone.

“Haylan, why are you out?” Declan asked with an astonished expression.

He thought he had drugged Haylan.

Supposedly, Haylan should be unconscious now. How could he come out?

As Declan spoke, he hurriedly tried to snatch the phone from Haylan’s hand.

Haylan stepped back to avoid Declan and spoke to the phone, “Is that Harper Zeller?”

“You…”

On the other side of the line, Harper was extremely shocked to hear Haylan’s voice and hung up the phone immediately.

Holding the phone, Haylan stared at Declan with sharp eyes and said grimly, “Declan, why don’t you explain this?”

He drank and had fun with Declan instead of flying into a rage and questioning the latter, mainly to give Declan a chance to turn over a new leaf and make amends.

Unexpectedly, Declan did not repent at all. Instead, he made a vow falsely and deceived him. Now he even meant to kidnap and control Haylan’s parents.

Besides, according to the conversation between Harper and Declan, Haylan found that Declan was responsible for demolishing his hometown.

In other words, Declan not only took over Haylan’s money but also sent people to beat Haylan’s parents.

Declan was already utterly hopeless!

Now that his cover was blown, Declan did not feel frightened or have a guilty conscience but put on an arrogant and cold look with fierce eyes, saying indifferently, “Haylan, since you have heard it, I

will stop pretending then.

“You heard it correctly. I have never given any cent to your parents.

“Besides, listen, I’m working for the Gredrake Chamber of Commerce now. I’m also the person in charge of the village’s demolition. Now, I’m rich. I can also have as many people as possible!

“Be sensible. You had better pretend that you did not hear it. Continue wiring money to me every month. If you don’t, I will make you suffer.”

With a haughty and aloof look, he stared at Haylan disdainfully and coldly as he spoke.

Now, he had been a successful man. As he was rich and powerful now, he did not take Haylan to heart- at all.

“How dare you threaten me?” Haylan’s ey

became cold.

“Yeah, I’m threatening you. So what? Haylan, do you know Gredrake Chamber of Commerce? It belongs to Robert Bard in Lightdom City. I dare you to hurt me!”

Declan looked fierce with an extremely arrogant air. He poked Haylan’s chest and said coldly, “You know Robert, right? He’s the biggest capitalist in Lightdom City. His influence over Lightdom City is unimaginable.

“With him around, you can’t hurt me!

“If you don’t wire the money to me, I will kill your parents!”

Haylan’s eyes became colder. Without hesitation, he grabbed Declan’s fingers and broke them hard.

Here came a crack.

With the unmistakable sound of bone breaking. Declan’s fingers were broken at once.

“Argh!”

Declan screamed with a grimace and almost fell to the ground.

Bang!

Before he came around, Haylan seized Declan’s head and smashed it against the wall.

Within an instant, Declan’s head was broken and bleeding. With his seven orifices bleeding, he fell to the ground and felt dizzy. He could not get up after struggling for a while. He felt a severe headache as if his head had busted.

He widened his eyes in disbelief.

He did not expect that Haylan would not even fear Robert.

Haylan looked down at Declan and said coldly, “Here is your last chance, Give back all my money to

me within seven days.

“Or I will kill you!”
