The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 

Haylan was dragged away, looking helpless. “There’s no need to be so scared, is there?” 

“You don’t understand what’s at stake here. Hurry up and leave. Noah rushed to the elevator with a solemn look. 

The two soon left the Garden Hotel and appeared on the street. 

Only then did Noah let down his heart and take a deep breath. “Finally, we don’t have to worry so much anymore,” he said, looking relaxed 

Haylan looked at Noah with a pained expression. 

He felt sad that his good friend had turned out like this. 

“Haylan, come on. I’ll treat you to barbecue.” 

Noah enthusiastically led Haylan to a grill house 1.2 miles from the Garden Hotel. He sat down, called the owner, and ordered lots of food in one go. 

Noal was completely relaxed when he got there. His expression was natural, and he became more talkative. 

He said to Haylan as he ordered, “I’m not afraid to tell you that I feel uncomfortable staying in that hotel just now. It’s better to stay at the grill house. Let’s get drunk today.” 

“No problem!” 

Smiling. Haylan raised his hand and said. “Boss, four more barbecued ribs, one pound of beef, and a dozen beers.” 

“There’s so much food. Can we finish them all? Noali’s heart ached. 

“Don’t worry. The meal is on me. You can eat as much as you like. We have a lot to talk about,” Haylan said with a smile. 

Noah heaved a sigh of relief when he heard him. “Great! I’m not afraid that you’ll laugh at me. I haven’t eaten barbecue for a long time since my family went bankrupt.” 

The owner brought over a dozen beers at the moment. 

Haylan opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Noah Tell me. What’s going on with your family?” he said. 

“Well, it all started eight years ago.” 

Noah drank half a bottle of wine in one breath. His eyes reddened as countless memories surged into his mind. He said with difficulty. “Didn’t the three of us cause trouble that year? You were hunted down and fled abroad, and we had a hard time.” 

His voice choked as he told Haylan his story. 

It turned out that after Haylan left for a foreign country eight years ago, Noah and Perry were also attacked by those people, leaving behind injuries. They even missed the SAT and could not go to college. 

It was not the end! 

Noah’s family went into business and lived a prosperous life two years later. 

Noah was doing quite well helping out at his family business. 

However, everything changed three years later. 

That year, Perry collapsed on Noah’s doorstep, covered in blood. 

Noah sent Perry to the hospital for treatment. Then, he learned that Perry had gone out into the world after high school 

Due to his lack of educational qualifications, Perry did all sorts of jobs that did not require his educational qualifications. He worked as a security guard, a waiter, and a cleaner. He had done everything to earn money. 

Later, Perry became a waiter at a bar and hooked up with a rich woman. 

As a result, the rich woman’s lover picked on him and broke one of his legs. 

How could Perry, whose personality was hotter than Haylan’s or Noah’s, let it go? 

He endured the pain and tried his best to take revenge. Finally, he broke one of the man’s legs and got his revenge. 

It was precisely because of it that Perry got into big trouble. He was retaliated by the gang and was beaten until he was covered in blood and almost died. He had no choice but to turn to Noah for help. 

Noah was also very loyal. After saving Perry, he immediately drew on his influence to arrange a meeting with the man who beat up Perry to negotiate. Then he laid an ambush and beat the man up severely to get revenge. 

However, it made things worse for them. 

The person they beat was the nephew of Hugh Croydon, one of the Four Kings. 

Since his nephew was beaten up, Hugh naturally would not sit idly by. He attacked on the spot. Not only did he cripple Perry, but he also taught Noah a lesson and made the Wrinkler family go bankrupt. 

Hugh was petty, vengeful, and quibble. He was still unhappy after making the Wrinkler family go bankrupt. Over the years, he had been attacking Noah’s and Perry’s families everywhere, causing them to live humble lives beyond their means. Moreover, Hugh used a scheme to get both families to owe huge debts. They were suppressed every day. 

Noah’s wife also divorced him and left him with their children. 

Perry was more miserable. His legs and one hand were broken, leaving only one healthy hand. 

They both were tortured by Hugh and were abandoned by everyone. They lived lowly lives and were better off dead. 

It was precisely because Perry was crippled that he could not attend their gathering. 

After finishing his story, Noah felt even more depressed and kept drinking. 

Fortunately, the owner of the grill house worked fast and served the two of them various beef, chicken wings, grilled meat, and barbecued ribs. 

Noah was drinking and eating barbecue. His eyes were red, and the tears welled up in them. 

Over the years, they both suffered greatly. Just thinking about it made him sad. 

He had never regretted what he had done. However, he burst into tears when he thought about how his parents and relatives had been implicated by him and lived a life that was oppressed and worse than death. 

After listening to his story. Haylan caught the point on the spot. His face turned cold. “Perry was crippled?” 

Noah downed another bottle of beer and nodded gloomily. 

Upon hearing it. Haylan’s eyes instantly darkened. He said in a deep voice. “Where is Perry staying now?” 

After hearing what happened to his two friends, a fire rose in his chest that almost burned his blood vessels. 

All of this was not about Perry and Noah causing trouble. Instead, it was about Hugh and the others bulled them! 

It was outrageous! 

However, he really wanted to see Perry right now instead of taking revenge for his friends.. 

Noah glanced at the time and said, “It’s too late. Perry should be asleep by now Let’s go to see him tomorrow. Come on, have a drink with me.” 

Then he opened a can of Budweiser and handed it to Haylan. 

Haylan picked up the beer and drank it. 

The cold beer slashed across his throat, but it could not extinguish the anger burning in his chest. 

The colder the beer, the angrier he got! 

Haylan drank his beer and looked at Noah’s face, which looked haggard as the face of a forty-year-old man. His heart was aching. 

He was a man who was not even 30 years old, yet he had been tortured to such an old and weathered state. 

Not only was the light in his eyes gone but his face was also filled with sorrow and vicissitudes. He seemed to have lost any longing for life, which made one’s heartache. 

“Let’s not talk about us.” 

Noah looked at Haylan and asked curiously, “Is everything you said on WhatsApp true?” 

Previously, Haylan had said he lived in hell and was better off dead than alive. He was much worse off than them. 

He was curious if it was true. 

Without another word, Haylan took off his shirt and revealed all the scars on his body to Noah 

The knife scars, gunshot wounds, sword scars, burn marks… 

Various scars crawled all over Haylan’s body. What a shocking sight. 

Upon seeing it, Noah was stunned. 

“The scar on my abdomen was left by a man who cut me in the Demon’s Den while I was trying to escape. He almost cut out my intestines. 

“Do you see the bullet hole? It was from a mercenary. At that time, the bullet was only about 1 inch away from my heart. 

“Also, the sword scar on my arm was inflicted by a killer when I was fighting with him for my life. He smeared poison on his sword. I would have been amputated and crippled if it weren’t for my master’s medical skills.”
