The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 18

All color left Queenie’s face when she saw this sight.

She was a goody-two-shoes and had never experienced something like this before. She started shaking in fear.

*You asshole! How dare you use your knife in front of my sister? Do you wanna die?”

Haylan’s eyes looked icy. Instead of retreating, he advanced and welcomed his opponent, getting the upper hand even though he started later.

Grabbing the knife, throwing a fist, and attacking were all done in one smooth action.

Boom!

The muscular guy was sent flying and slammed onto the road. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was in immense pain.

He looked at Haylan, his pupils narrowing in utter disbelief. “How, how is this possible?”

He was a renowned top-tier fighter and had never lost a fight. Once, he had chopped through several streets by himself and fought everyone without meeting his match.

But Haylan’s movements just now had been too fast. The guy had been sent flying before he could. even see Haylan’s movements clearly. His chest burned in pain. He had probably broken a few ribs.

Haylan’s level was too scary.

“Tell me. Who sent you here?”

Haylan walked over and loomed over the muscular guy as he stared down coldly.

“Haylan, I won’t tell you. Kill me if you dare,” the muscular guy said through clenched teeth. His face. was twisted menacingly.

He really wanted to escape, but Haylan’s punch made him feel like all his organs had been shattered. Even breathing hurt like hell, so he could not run at all.

“Oh, really? I’d like to see how long you can last.”

Haylan picked the muscular guy up. He turned toward Queenie and said, “Queenie, wait here for a moment. Eat and drink as you wish. Don’t worry about me. I have something to take care of and will be back in a bit.”

With that, he took the muscular guy and walked toward a dark alley. A short while later, terrifying and painful cries traveled out of the alley.

A bit after that, Haylan walked out of the alley. His expression was dark, and his eyes shone with sharp murderous intent.

The muscular guy had given in and said that he was sent there by Declan.

“Declan Jackett, I haven’t gone to you for payback yet, but you still dare to come and cause more trouble for me. You’re playing with fire.”

Haylan returned to the restaurant with a dark expression.

“Haylan, are you okay?”

Queenie stood up hurriedly when she saw Haylan. Queenie’s eyes were full of worry.

“Don’t worry. I am fine. Have you eaten your fill?”

18:45

Haylan glanced at the table, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Not much of the meat on the table had been eaten.

“I didn’t have an appetite because I was worried about you.” Queenie still looked worried.

Hayan sat down and said, “Do not worry. I don’t do the same thing as before anymore. Right now, I am a security guard at Mapleturz Group and will keep this stable job from now on.”

He patted Queenie’s head and said comfortingly, “Oh you, you worry about everything. You’re such a chicken. Stop thinking about all that and eat up. You have to go hack and study later. I’ll eat with you.”

With that, he picked up a drumstick and placed it on Queenie’s plate.

Thanks, Haylan.”

Queenie let out a sigh of relief and started eating happily.

After they finished eating, Haylan picked up all the bags and went back to school with Queenie.

However, as soon as they reached the dorm building, the two siblings were stopped by the vice principal, Stanley Pons.

Stanley glared coldly at Haylan and Queenie. “Queenie Jaber,” he said, “this is your brother Haylan, right? Haylan damaged the school’s rock, so you two must take responsibility.”

Hearing this, Queenie’s expression tensed up. She wanted to step up and explain in panic.

Haylan stepped forward first and said, “I’m the one who shattered the rock. It has nothing to do with Queenie. Tell me how much it costs. I will pay for it.”

Stanley scanned Haylan from head to toe and said coldly, “You are her brother. How can it not have anything to do with her? This is not only a matter of paying the money. You also have to apologize to Lucas and pay him back as well.”

“Lucas was the one who started it. Why do we have to apologize to him?” Haylan’s eyes turned cold.

Lucas walked over to stand behind Stanley. He glanced at Haylan fearlessly and asked arrogantly, “Why? Because I’m the principal’s son. If you two do not apologize today, I will have my dad expel Queenie.”

“Are you threatening me?” Haylan stared at Lucas. His eyes turned even colder.

Lucas was frightened by Haylan’s glare and hurriedly hid behind Stanley. “Mr. Pons, look at him. Queenie’s brother is such a menace. He must be some criminal thug and wants to beat me up right This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

now.”

When Stanley heard that, he also studied Haylan. His eyes were filled with both disgust and caution. “Are you a thug?”

“Mr. Pons, do not believe what Lucas said. Haylan is not a thug.” Queenie explained in a hurry. “He is a security guard at Mapleturz Group right now. Mapleuurz Group is a legitimate company and does not hire people with a criminal background.”

Ha, the Mapleturz Group hires retired Special Forces soldiers for their security guards. Are you saying that Haylan was part of the Special Forces? I think you two are lying. Do you have proof?” Lucas scoffed.

“Haylan, hurry and show Mr. Pons your work permit Queenie said to Haylan in panic.

Haylan chuckled bitterly.

He kept his work permit at the company. Why would he have it with him during off hours?

“See, you can’t show us any proof. Who knows if you are lying or not? Mr. Pons, Queenie’s brother Haylan is a thug. He smashed a rock this time. Next time, he might beat someone up.

Her existence will affect the reputation of our school. We should not have a bad seed like her. I suggest we expel her.

Lucas’s eyes were sinister. He emphasized each word as he continued saying. “That rock cost 200 thousand dollars to buy. Their family is poor, so they definitely will not be able to pay for it. Expelling her is the best option.”

When Queenie heard that, she was so anxious that she started crying.

We can pay for it, but I refuse to apologize,” Haylan said.

Then are you a thug or not? How can you prove that you are a security guard?” Stanley asked.

This caught Haylan off-guard.

How could he prove it?

Would he have to call Reign and have Reign come personally to clear things up?

“Haylan?”

Right at this moment of difficulty, a pleasantly surprised female’s voice rang out.

Next, Yara Irwin from the research and development department ran over from the distance. She looked at Haylan in pleasant surprise. “How come you’re here?”

“I came to buy something for my sister. Why are you here?” Haylan was taken aback.

“My brother said someone bullied him, so I came over to take a look,” Yara said.

“You’re here just in time. The principal doubts that I am a security guard, Haylan said. “Please help me explain.”

Yara turned around and said to Stanley, “Mr. Pons, Haylan is indeed a security guard at our company. He is also my friend. Are you trying to cause trouble for him?”

“Miss, please do not say that. I am not trying to cause trouble for your friend,” Stanley said in a panic. “It’s your friend who is troubling your brother.”

Yara’s eyes flashed. She stared at Lucas. “So are you the one causing trouble?”

Lucas took a step back in fright. His eyes were stunned. “Yara, how can he be your friend?”

When Lucas saw Yara’s expression turn cold, he hurriedly explained, “Plus, he was the one who started it. He even smashed the rock by the entrance to scare me.”

“Really? How come I heard that you were the one who harassed Queenie first?” Yara asked coldly.

Lucas’s expression turned even more uncomfortable when he heard that.

He knew that Yara would always investigate everything clearly before coming.

“I will

pay for the rock outside the entrance,” Yara stated. “You must apologize to the girl.”

“Yara, I am the one who got bullied and threatened! How can you take the side of an outsider?” Lucas asked.

Crack!

Before he could even finish, Yara slapped him, leaving a palm print on Lucas’s face.

“Yara, you, you slapped me?”

Lucas clutched his cheek, his face written with disbelief.

He could not believe that his blood-related sister would hit him because of an outsider.

Yara’s attitude was strong. “I am more than clear about what kind of person you are,” she said,
