The Invincible Mercenary King

Chapter 8

Haylan’s words were not harsh, yet they were deeply murderous.

Declan instantly felt a chill all over his body.

He felt as though he was confronted by an ancient fierce beast. The hair on his body all stood up, and his soul seemed to be crushed.

The feeling was so terrifying.

“What… What happened? Since when did Haylan become so strong?” Declan was frightened, with his eyes full of horror.

Bang!

Before Declan could come to his senses, Haylan gave him another kick, breaking his 10 ribs. Declan fell to the ground and coughed up blood.

“This kick is the price you have to pay for threatening me.

“Declan, keep this in mind. My money is not what you can take.

“You have seven days. If you can’t pay me back within this period, I swear the gloves will come off.”

Haylan darted a cold glance at Declan and then turned around to leave.

Over the past eight years, he had transferred at least tens of millions of dollars to his family.

It was such a big sum that Declan might not be able to afford it within a short time.

Hence, he gave Declan a period to prepare for the money.

Declan lay on the ground, his body covered in blood. He was on the verge of dying and was barely. breathing.

Covering his injury, he stared at Haylan’s back with red eyes and snapped through gritted teeth, “Haylan Jaber, how dare you treat me this way! I must kill you!”

As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood and felt severe pain in his chest.

Declan took out his phone and dialed a number that he had kept for a long time. He said with fierce eyes, “Mr. Williams, I have been beaten up by a guy!

“Can you

lend me some hatchet men? I want to kill him!”

The next morning.

When Haylan got up, Felicia had prepared a hearty breakfast.

The breakfast included fresh milk, French loaf, beef stew bread, and beef spaghetti…

“Spaghetti and fresh milk,” Haylan blurted out.

Haylan was greatly intrigued.

He had been away from home for years. He really missed these dishes.

“I bought them from the restaurants that we usually went to eight years ago. They are all your favorites. Just eat, Felicia said with a smile.

She stared at her son and felt increasingly dissatisfied with him.

Over the past eight years, Haylan had grown a lot taller and yet much thinner than before. It was really heartbreaking for her to see this.

“Thank you, Morn. I’m so happy to have you around.

Haylan rejoiced with delighted eyes. After washing up, he sat down and started to have breakfast heartily.

The familiar flavor gave him a nostalgic feeling.

The feeling deepened, especially when he looked at his mother cooking in the kitchen and all the familiar things in the room.

This was the taste of home!

While eating breakfast, Haylan signed with emotion and asked, “Mom, where are my sisters and brothers? I haven’t seen them for eight years.”

“Your elder sister is married. She has moved out. Your brothers and younger sisters are in school. Yelena just graduated this year and got a job in the municipal hospital as a gynecologist. Queenie is a senior in high school. The high school is the one you went to before,” Felicia replied while cooking breakfast.

When Haylan heard that, his expression changed.

There were six children in his family. Haylan was the second eldest child. He had one elder sister, two younger sisters, and two younger brothers.

Everything had changed over the past eight years.

His elder sister was married, and his younger siblings, who used to follow him around, had grown up. Some of them already had a job.

At that moment, Charlie suddenly rushed back from outside and sat across from Haylan. As he had breakfast, he said, “Haylan, I’ve pulled some strings to get a suitable job for you. Today, you’ll go to the Mapleturz Group and work as a security guard there.”

Haylan felt stunned and said, “Dad, I want to be a doctor.”

While Haylan was abroad as a mercenary, most of his tasks were to protect his employer. Now that he was back, he wanted to change his job. Yet, his father just asked him to be a security guard.

“To be a doctor? Do you have a license?” Charlie asked.

Charlie cast a disgruntled glance at Haylan and snapped, “Now, there are so many university students. Your educational background is not high enough. What else can you do if you don’t work as a security guard or a waiter? How are you gonna compete with others?

“Or do you want to turn to those hooligans you knew in high school? To goof around with them?”

“Dad, I had no choice but to do that before. At that time, I fought back only because I was really bullied by others,” Haylan said with a frown.

Charlie glared daggers at Haylan and snapped, “I don’t care what you think. Anyway, it took me a great effort to find a job for you. If you really want to reassure us, take the job then!”

Upon seeing his father’s reaction, Haylan hastened to nod and said. “OK. I will do it.”

If he rejected his father again, he would probably be kicked out of home by his father in a fit of pique. He could only agree to work as a security guard for the time being before making the next

move.

“I have got everything well arranged for you. Just go to the security department of the Mapleturz Group later and find a security guard called William Jach. He is my friend. He will take you to register and check-in,” Charlie said.

“OK.” Haylan nodded.

Charlie stared at Haylan and said coldly, “Listen, no matter what happens this time, you must do your job well. You mustn’t resign!”

Haylan had no other way but to agree. After all, being a security guard was still a job. He decided to reassure his father before making other plans.

He was equipped with superior medical skills anyway. He had plenty of time to give full play to his

skills.

Charlie looked at the time and said sternly, “Alright, there is one hour before the office time. Hurry and go to check in now. Remember this. You must listen to Mr. Jach.”

“OK.” Haylan said.

He nodded. After eating breakfast, he immediately rushed to the Mapleturz Group.

“Charlie, since when did you become so competent? I didn’t expect you could get our son to work for the Mapleturz Group.”

Felicia stared at Haylan’s back and then looked at Charlie. A hint of astonishment flashed across her

eyes.

The Mapleturz Group was a company affiliated with the Labenz family, the top family in Lightdom City. It was hailed as the top corporation in Lightdom City.

Reign Labenz, the leader of the Labenz family, was a famous lady with an extremely gorgeous appearance. She was also a famous rich lady and had very strict standards. To enter such aigroup, ordinary people had to go through a series of selections and trials. It was really as difficult as climbing. up into the sky.

Besides, it was said that the security guards of the Mapleturz Group must be retired Special Forces or mercenaries with a bachelor’s degree. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Yet, Charlie could get Haylan, who lacked a diploma, to work for such a company. Since when did Charlie become so competent?

“I have my own way. Leave it alone,” Charlie said in a deep voice.

“Charlie, Haylan has become a lot more handsome than before. If he joins the Mapleturz Group, can he get the beautiful lady Reign?” Felicia suddenly thought of an idea, her eyes full of expectations.

“I never want him to be something. As long as he can live peacefully, get married, have children, and live a happy life, that will be good enough,” Charlie said..

He looked at Haylan going far away with amiable eyes. He let out a sigh of relief and took off his cap.

The Mapleturz Group was the top corporation in Lightdom City. When Haylan joined such at company, he could get to know the retired Special Forces of the security department.

In this way, someone could keep a rein on Haylan and make him restrain himself.

Moreover, with these people backing Haylan, Charlie believed that very few people in Lightdom City would have the gut to lay a finger on Haylan. What he got for Haylan was actually not a job but backers.

For the sake of Haylan’s future, Charlie had given a lot of thought.

At this moment, Felicia took a look at Charlie and asked with concerned eyes, “Charlie, why is the wound in your head split open again?”

There was a wound on Charlie’s forehead.

“I’m fine,” Charlic replied.

His expression changed. Covering his wound, he rushed into the room in a hurry,

The Mapleturz Group was a multinational conglomerate. It was located in the center of the city, towering and magnificent.

Haylan arrived at the company and found William.

“Are you Haylan?”

William looked Haylan up and down. His eyes were filled with contempt and arrogance. He said coldly, “You have changed a lot. Remember this. In this place, all you need to do is obey orders.

“From now on, I will be your supervisor. Call me Mr. Jach.”

In his eyes, Haylan hadn’t even graduated from high school and thus didn’t qualify security guard at the Mapleturz Group.

But for Charlie, William would never mean to recruit Haylan.

Haylan nodded and responded, “OK, Mr. Jach.”.

“Come with me. I’ll take you to handle the formalities.”

Haylan followed William obediently.

Led by William, Haylan dealt with the formalities very quickly, got the security guard’s uniform, and put it on.

“Why does this brat look like a soldier in this security guard uniform?”

William sized Haylan up, and his eyes glistened with surprise.

Wearing a security guard uniform, Haylan showed an utterly different disposition. He looked dashing and vigilant with a military air, just like a sharp sword.

In particular, his eyes

were sharp, determined, and unyielding.

At first sight, he looked like a warrior who had been through fierce battles, making others tremble.

“You’ve got real class, but that’s not enough for you to be a security guard here.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to meet the captain,”

am said.

William looked at Haylan and did not come back to his senses until he was astounded for a while. He took Haylan back to the security department.

The security department of a big company was equipped with a training place. The training place there was as big as half a football field.

In the hall, there were many various fitness machines and lots of boxing equipment.

Plenty of strong men dressed in security guard uniforms were working out there. Sweat poured down their faces.

William led Haylan to a middle-aged man, who showed an extraordinary demeanor with sharp eyes, saying, “Mr. Hackbart, this is our new security guard, Haylan Jaber. He is a fellow villager of mine.

“Haylan, this is Quentin Hackbart, the head of the security department of our group.”

Quentin looked Haylan up and down and said casually, “Haylan Jaber? Oh, the son of the man who begged me for a while in our department this morning. You look quite good.”

Haylan was shocked to hear that and asked, “What did you say? My dad begged you for a while?”

“Hehe. Or else?”

Quentin looked composed and said with contempt, “Brat, if it dad

were fellow villagers and he begged me for a long time, how could a good-for-nothing man without a diploma like you get to join our company?

“I made an exception to recruit you for the sake of William..

“Check this out yourself.”

After saying that, William took out his phone and played a video. Then, he put the phone in front of Haylan.

“William, please recruit my son given that we’re fellow villagers. Please.

“Mr. Hackbart, please.”

In the video, Charlie stood in front of William and Quentin and lowered his head to beg them. His attitude was rather humble.

Upon seeing the scene, Haylan was astonished and opened his mouth, but he could not say anything.

Tears welled up in his

eyes.

They coursed down his cheeks!

In his eyes, Charlie was a tough guy who would never beg for mercy, even if one placed a knife on

his neck.

Haylan never expected that his arrogant father would make such a big sacrifice for his sake.

Charlie swallowed his pride and begged others merely to get a job for Haylan.

“Dad….” Haylan murmured.

Watching the video of Charlie begging Quentin humbly, Haylan felt a gut-wrenching heartache. His face was covered with tears. He felt really bad beyond words.

“Enough. Don’t cry. You have a good father.”

Quentin glanced at Haylan and said, “For his sake, I gave you a chance to work here, but in return, you must give me half your monthly salary!

“Do you understand?”
