The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 278

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze fell on Haylan.

They were shocked, envious, and jealous.

After all, such large amount of assets were very tempting to many people!

Meanwhile, some were nervous, awaiting Haylan’s response.

It was common knowledge that this matter would carry significant.

consequences.

After all, Robert had offered such a high price, clearly trying to win over and bribe Haylan.

Should Haylan choose to align with Robert, Robert’s power would become uncontested, rendering him the sole dominant force in Lightdom City.

At that time, Robert could take over any family he wanted, and no one could stop him.

Robert looked at Haylan, his eyes sharp. “Mr. Jaber, what do you think?”

“I am not interested,” Haylan replied coldly.

Robert appeared unfazed by the rejection, wearing a composed smile as he uttered, “Regardless of your decision, I will make sure that this. position remains available for you.”

With that, he glanced at Damian, Tomas, and Zac and walked away. quickly.

The trio looked at each other, but after seeing Robert leave, they quickly followed suit, leaving the restaurant as well.

Haylan was very strong in the sense that not only could he make Robert back down, but he also threatened and injured Robert.

Now that Robert had left, the three of them quickly left. After all, they were aware that they were no match for Haylan and that staying would only cause trouble.

Soon, Robert, the Black Dragons, and others disappeared without a trace.

He was the overlord of Lightdom City, the uncrowned king. He exuded the aura of a seven-star General overwhelming everyo pratent He had

them feel as if there was a large stone pressing on their chest, rendering it hard to breathe.

After he had gone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Noah, Perry, and the others collapsed to the ground, panting.

Dominic, Shawn, and the others also stood up and wiped the sweat off their foreheads. With their backs drenched in sweat, they felt as if they had walked through the gates of hell.

“Robert Bard is a difficult man to handle.”

Haylan looked at Hugh, who was lying on the ground, with cold eyes.

Though he had made a lot of predictions, he had not expected Robert to do such a thing.

Killing Hugh was a means to protect himself!

Such a bold action had disrupted his plan.

Now he had no way to enable Perry and Noah to regain their reputation in the village.

“Mr. Jaber, you are really amazing!”

“You were able to compete with Robert and outshine him, Mr. Jaber. I had no idea that you are so powerful. I admire you.”

“Mr. Jaber, this is my business card. If you need anything in the future, please do feel free to give me a call.”

“Mr. Jaber, my admiration for you is like a surging, endless river. It is now overflowing and beyond control.”

At this moment, numerous individuals approached him, gazing at him with amazement, admiration, and reverence.

They knew all too well that had it not been for him today, Robert might have succeeded in suppressing everything, possibly subjecting them to brutal retribution and making them pay a heavy price.

However, his aura and strength displayed today came to everyone’s astonishment.

Especially when he exhibited his Telekinesis, snatching objects from afar and inflicting harm on Robert from a distance, everyone gasped in awe.

Consequently, everyone hurriedly fawned over and tried to ingratiate themselves with him, hoping to establish a rapport with him.

“Hahaha, Mr. Jaber, your strength has truly exceeded my expectations. It is really beyond my expectations.”

Dominic chuckled loudly, coming to his side with excitement and looking at him with passion.

“Mr. Jaber, you are my lifelong idol!” Shawn also looked at him with enthusiasm, extremely excited.

After all, Haylan was not only capable of surpassing Robert but also possessed the fearsome power of a seven-star General.

Thus, Haylan was the most powerful expert he had ever known.

At this moment, he was almost going crazy with joy!

At first, he thought that Haylan was not good enough for his daughter Grace, but now it appeared that he was not only worthy but also exceeded his expectations.

“What a wonderful husband material!” he thought to himself.

He looked at Haylan, and the more he did, the more satisfied he became. He immediately changed his mind and felt that the young man in front of him was simply the best match for Grace!

If Haylan could become his son-in-law, it would be quite an honor!

“Mr. Zabel, this is not the place to talk. Let us return to Zabel Village first,” said Haylan.

“Okay, yeah.”

Shawn was overjoyed. He immediately took out his phone and instructed, “Quick, gather the experts. We are taking Mr. Jaber home.”

“Wait, I need to say goodbye to my friend,” Haylan said.

He turned around, hoping to express his gratitude to Reign.

However, he realized that she had left at some point.

Looking at the spot where she was previously sitting, he frowned slightly.

When everyone surrounded Haylan, Reign had already left her seat, walking out of the hall while no one was paying attention.

Landon followed.

After leaving Charm Lounge and walking for 0.6 miles, the two finally got into the car.

Seated in the driver’s seat, Landon turned to Reign in the back with a bewildered expression. “Ms. Labenz, given that Haylan’s power has become considerably stronger, and it is an opportune time for us to ally with him, why did you choose to leave now?”

“My only concern is to resolve the issue,” she responded.

At the end of the day, she was eager to repay the debt of gratitude since Haylan had saved her once.

Regrettably, they did not contribute much on this occasion, as he had taken care of everything without the need of their assistance.

Landon rubbed his wound and gritted his teeth. “Haylan Jaber, that bastard. He’s so strong. Why didn’t he stop Robert Bard?

“Good lord, I had to endure two sword beams and almost died!”

After making that remark, he continued complaining while starting the car and pressed the accelerator pedal all the way down, leaving Charm Lounge.

After leaving, Reign turned back and smiled.

It was great that Haylan was all right.

During the journey, Landon exclaimed, “I never anticipated that Haylan would possess such formidable power. Did you know that he is a seven-star General?

“If he were in the military department, he could at least become the commander of a regional military department. Well, maybe not just a regional commander. He might as well be a General in the special combat zone.

“This is real power!”

“Particularly in a special combat zone, had Haylan served in any previous wars, he would have undoubtedly secured the commander position with his sheer strength,” he added.

Having brought this up, a touch of nostalgia flashed in his eyes as he deeply missed the battles he had experienced on the extraterritorial

battlefield and other major battlegrounds.

There, he experienced real slaughters and terrifying wars where many men sacrificed themselves to protect their country and home.

If one could earn merits on the extraterritorial battlefield, there was a high likelihood of being ranked on the topmost page of the family tree!

“Everyone has their own aspirations,” Reign said lightly.

Having witnessed Haylan’s might, she was cognizant of how formidable he could be.

At first, she was very curious about what Haylan was doing back in the city and what had caused such an incredibly powerful mercenary to leave the battlefield and return to the city.

Later, she ran an investigation and found out that Haylan had returned home and had obediently followed his father’s wishes to work as a security guard for her group.

She immediately understood.

What Haylan pursued was very simple – family!

This was also the reason why Haylan had returned!

“Ms. Labenz, it seems to me that you know Haylan very well. Well, have you fallen in love with him? Huh?” Landon teased with a smile.

“Mr. Katz, shut up already!”

Reign glared at him and did not continue speaking.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
