The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

“Please, Mr. Croydon! Give us the antidote!” Timmy’s desperate voices pleaded. The urgency in their tone was palpable as they waited for the life–saving medicine. 

As Timmy spoke, his companions knelt beside him and begged for mercy. Their faces twisted in fear as they pleaded for 

their lives 

Like Tummy, they also experienced heart–wrenching pain, as if their hearts were on the verge of exploding. The agony surged through their entire being, leaving them breathless and desperate. 

Filled with fear, they begged for their lives. They were terrified of what might happen next and pleaded for mercy. 

“What are you talking about?” 

Without warning, the accountant stepped forward, cutting Hugh off before he could say anything. 

“I’m dead serious, Timmy said, his voice trembling with fear. This guy said that Mr. Croydon has the antidote.” 

“What did you just say?” Hugh asked coldly. “Someone wants me to apologize?” he continued, his voice dripping with 

disdain 

“Exactly Timmy nodded. 

“To whom?” 

“Noah and Perry” 

“Who are they?” Hugh frowned, puzzled by the unfamiliar names. 

He had no recollection of these two individuals whatsoever. And now, he was being asked to apologize to them? It seemed like an absurd request. 

He thought. “Someone is simply seeking death!” 

Hugh’s eyes were like knives, cold and penetrating, as he fixed his gaze on Timmy. “What’s his name?” he asked sharply. 

“He… 

Timmy opened his mouth, eager to answer, but was surprised to realize he couldn’t recall Haylan’s first name. It was like he’d never known it at all. 

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. 

“Thud!” 

In the next second, Timmy’s heart suddenly ruptured. Many of the acupoints on his body also began to explode. His blood spurted out and sprayed all over the ground. 

Fresh crimson shot towards Hugh like arrows. 

Hugh’s quick wit allowed him to dodge the attack in an instant 

Timmy’s blood splattered across John’s desk, adding a shocking pop of color to an otherwise mundane workspace. 

Thud! Thud!” 

After Timmy’s body exploded, the burly men’s faces twisted in shock. Suddenly, their bodies burst like a miniature bomb, sending chunks of flesh and bone flying in all directions. 

Hugh’s office was now painted red, with blood splatter decorating the walls. 

It was a shocking sight! 

Hugh was a lord–class expert. He exuded immense power as he gracefully dodged the onslaught of blood arrows, or used whatever he could find on his desk to shield himself from attack. His quick reflexes allowed him to remain unscathed throughout the ordeal. 

Unfortunately, the poor accountant wasn’t spared from the carnage. Timmy and the gang had drenched him in blood, creating a truly gruesome sight.. 

“Ah! 

The accountant had never seen anything quite like it before. His eyes widened in terror as he stumbled back. 

Hugh maintained his composure, his expression unwavering. The calmness in his demeanor was palpable and unchanging 

As one of the Four Kings, he was accustomed to gruesome scenes. His eyes had grown used to the sight of blood staining the ground 

He had suffered even more wretched deaths than Timmy and his 

companions.

He had even climbed up from the pile of dead people. 

To him, the loss of Timmy and the others was a trivial matter, not even worth mentioning 

“What happened?” 

As the accountant let out a blood–curdling scream, a group of menacing thugs burst into the room. 

When they saw the corpses and blood everywhere, they were all dumbfounded. 

“What’s g going on here?” asked them. 

“Check and see if they’re dead. Hugh said coldly, his face expressionless. 

As he faced Timmy and the others‘ predicament, he remained unfazed. Though calm on the surface, a glint of cold determination flickered in his eyes. 

As one of the thugs emerged from the crowd. he quickly checked on Timmy and the others. Then, with a solemn expression. he looked up and said. “Mr. Croydon, they’re all dead.” 

When Hugh heard this, his expression darkened. 

He stared at the corpses of Timmy and the others and the blood on the ground. As his gaze grew icier and icier, his intent to kill intensified. 

As John stood at the center, a dreadful aura emanated, instantly lowering the temperature in the entire office. The hairs on the back of everyone’s neck stood up, and a sense of unease crept in 

Everyone present felt an indescribably terrifying pressure. Their bodies turned cold, and they trembled in fear. The sensation was suffocating, making it hard to breathe. 

The pressure was too much for the accountant. He collapsed to his knees, a loud thump echoing through the room. Fear consumed him, paralyzing any rational thought. 

Hugh took a long drag on his cigar and surveyed the lifeless bodies of Timmy and his comrades with an icy gaze. In a calm and calculated tone, he commanded, “Find out everything you can about Perry and Noah, and make it quick. I want a full report within the next half hour. 

“Moreover, discover which poison they’ve been dosed with 

It was a warning! 

It was also a challenge letter! 

Someone had used the corpses of Timmy and the others to issue him a challenge, and they had even sent a cruel and brutal letter daring him to face it! 

This meant that the person had come prepared and did not take him seriously at all. 

Hugh was eager to find out who had the courage to oppose him. 

If he found the man, he’d kill him in a flash. The speed of lightning, that was. 

Meanwhile, Haylan and Noah had just polished off a delicious barbecue feast. After settling their bill, they packed up a generous portion of barbecue and beer, hailed a ride, and set off to meet Perry. 

Although Haylan drove his BMW to the party, he had a few too many beers and couldn’t drive home. So, he did the responsible thing and hailed a taxi instead. 

As he sat in the car, he gazed out the window with a tranquil expression and pondered to himself, “Have those folks met Hugh yet?” 

Despite not poisoning Timmy and the rest earlier, he left them with a chilling Hidden Strength. His actions were enough to leave them all on edge. 

As the timer ticked down and Hidden Strength threatened to explode. Timmy and his companions faced certain death before Hugh’s very eyes. 

Haylan was convinced that he could catch Hugh’s eye if he demonstrated such a technique! 

Back then. Hugh always took the initiative to show up without him needing to seek out any trouble. 

Regarding killing Timmy and the others, he did not experience any remorse. 

He thought to himself, “If Timmy and the rest of them wanted to take me out, then they were going to need to be taken out themselves!” 

However, if Haylan killed Timmy and the others in public, it would definitely cause a commotion That was why he chose to let Timmy and the others go. Then, he used Hidden Strength to detonate the hearts and bloodlines of Timmy and the others and let them die in front of Hugh 

He figured it 

was best to keep a low profile, lest he attract unwanted attention. Plus, enlisting Hugh’s help to collect the body

would kill two birds with one stone. 

Suddenly, Noah felt his phone buzz. He had just received a message. 

He glanced down at his phone and saw a notification from Mia. 

“Why is Mia looking for me?” Noah frowned, his mind racing with possibilities. 

Since his family went bankrupt, he noticed that many of his classmates had cut off all contact with him. 

He knew he was untouchable, so he rarely engaged in conversation with others. Even his WhatsApp was barren, with messages few and far between. 

Curious, he couldn’t resist opening this message.
