The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 

“Is there a message for Hugh Croydon?” 

Timmy’s face twisted at the news. His eyes narrowed, and his jaw tightened 

At this moment, he finally realized that Haylan was not doing this for the three women, but solely to cause trouble for them. 

Noah was also stunned as he listened from the side. The words had struck him like a bolt of lightning, electrifying his senses. 

He realized that Haylan was seeking revenge for him. The thought gave him some solace. 

Despite his attempt to hide it. John’s face showed a deep concern. His gaze shifted nervously, and he seemed uneasy. 

He pondered. “Hugh was one of the Four Kings. He was a brave general under Robert Bard and wielded significant power. 

“If Haylan wanted to fight Hugh, it would be like throwing an egg at a rock. It would be a futile effort that would end in defeat” 

“Exactly Remember what I told you. Take it back to Hugh,” said Haylan, his tone icy and detached. 

“Ha ha, you want to challenge Mr. Croydon? You’re simply overestimating yourself!” 

As Haylan was about to finish his words, one of Timmy’s buddies erupted into laughter, as if he had just heard the most hilarious joke in the world. He chuckled while glancing over at Haylan with a look of contempt. 

The rest of the group were also grinning hideously. 

In Lightdom City. Hugh could definitely be considered a bigwig. Not only did he hold considerable power, but he also had a battalion of capable subordinates at his beck and call. He was a force to be reckoned with, possessing the combat strength of a three-star lord-class warrior. 

But that’s not all Hugh had been making waves in Lightdom City for years. He opened countless internet cafes, KTVs, and bars, and even owned a real estate group. His assets were calculated in the tens of millions. It’s safe to say that Hugh was a true mogul in his own right. 

Haylan dared to challenge Hugh alone. Everyone thought he was courting death by doing so! 

Thud 

Haylan walked over and grabbed the speaker’s head, then slammed them into the ground, creating a massive pit. The sudden impact left everyone stunned. 

The poor man’s head was bleeding, and blood flowed from all seven of his orifices. He lay there unconscious, teetering on 

the brink of death. 

“Who are you to interrupt me?” asked Haylan in a cold voice. Her words sliced through the air like a sharp blade, cutting through the tension in the room. 

As soon as they caught sight of it, the rest of them fell silent in fear, their eyes widened with terror. 

They thought to themselves, “Using his head to smash such a massive pit in the ground, even if he survived, he would likely have a concussion. He might even suffer from brain damage in the future.” 

The mere thought of it made them all break out in a cold sweat, and they looked at Haylan with fear in their eyes. 

They were taken aback by his ruthlessness. This guy is too much! 

“He’s quite the enigma!” 

Timmy was petrified by the scene, his voice caught in his throat and his eyes brimming with terror. The fear was so palpable that he couldn’t even make a sound. 

Haylan turned to look at him with a cold gaze. “Do you recall what I told you?” he asked sharply, his tone laced with ice. 

“I do remember.” Timmy replied, his voice trembling with emotion. 

At this moment, he was truly terrified. His heart raced, and his palms were slick with sweat. 

Haylan’s ways were too brutal. They made people like Timmy, who were a part of the underworld, shudder in fear. 

“Say that again, Haylan said icily, his eyes locked on Timny. 

“Huh? Timmy asked, his brow furrowed in confusion. 

“Say it again. Do you understand me?” 

Haylan stared at Timmy with a gaze as sharp as a blade, his eyes drilling into Timmy’s very soul. 

Timmy was taken aback. “You’ve got five days to get Mr. Croydon to apologize to your brothers, Noah and Perry, or face the consequences!” he exclaimed urgently. 

Just remember it.” 

With a cold glance. Haylan pulled Noah back to the grill house. 

When Timmy and his friends saw Haylan leave, a wave of relief washed over them. The pressure they had been feeling lifted, and they were finally able to breathe easy. 

Despite the pain, they scrambled to their feet and quickly gathered. 

Timmy was still clutching his crotch, writhing in pain. The agony was almost unbearable, and he couldn’t help but let out a 

groan 

Timmy, what are we going to do? Do we really have to tell Mr. Croydon?” someone asked. 

“Oh, crap! We can’t tell Mr. Croydon about this. If we do, we’re dead.” 

Timmy clenched his teeth, his eyes smoldering with hatred. “Come on, let’s get him up and to the hospital for treatment. After that, we’ll find someone to take care of those jerks!” he said fiercely, his voice dripping with venom.
