The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 

“You bastard! Haylan Jaber, I will kill you!” 

Hector’s anger surged tremendously as he heard those words. Despite enduring immense pain, he went all out and launched a fierce attack on Haylan. 

However, he was injured and weaker than Haylan. He attempted to charge at Haylan but was kicked and knocked to the ground. He lay on the ground, unable to get up again. 

Hector couldn’t get up not because of Haylan’s heavy kick, but because the Tendon-Splitting and Bone-Distorting Hand had completely taken effect. All the tendons in his body were in disarray, and he felt as if thousands of knives were slicing through his body, causing him to howl in endless agony. 

“Don’t be like this Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Jaber, Tristan said in a low voice. 

Lambert gritted his teeth and glared at Haylan as he declared. “I will never surrender to him, even if it costs me my life!” 

As Special Forces, both of them possessed an unyielding spirit that refused to accept defeat. They would never submit to Haylan and concede defeat even if their teeth were shattered or if they were poisoned to death. 

“Aren’t you afraid of death? Tristan’s expression darkened. 

“We’ve not feared death ever since we joined the Northwestern Dragon Army!” Lambert said. 

“We will never surrender to a security guard and embarrass the name of the Dragon Army, even if it means facing death!” 

Hector was also enduring the pain as he yelled at Haylan. “Come and kill me, Haylan! You want us to apologize to you? Never in a million years! 

Hearing that, Landon’s expression changed “You’re from the Dragon Army?” 

“That’s right. They’re commanders of the Dragon Army in the Northwest Territory. They have badges on them.” Tristan said 

Landon rushed forward and retrieved the Dragon Army’s badge from the two screaming men. 

Upon seeing the badges, Landon’s expression softened, and he returned the badges to Lambert and Hector. He then approached Haylan and said seriously. “Haylan, I ask you to spare them and let them go.” 

“Why?” Haylan asked 

“The Dragon Army once saved my life,” Landon answered solemnly. 

“Were you a soldier before?” Haylan asked curiously. 

Landon nodded. 

“Which army?” 

“I was in the Northern Territory, a Lord under Kylin General * 

“Fine, for your sake, I’ll spare them.” 

Haylan looked at Landon, stepped forward, and tapped on Lambert and Hector’s acupoint. He then fed each of them a remedy pill. 

Following the treatment, Hector and Lambert were immediately relieved from the hellish pain. They lay on the ground. sweating heavily and gasping for air. They were exhausted. 

Gasping heavily, they shifted their gaze toward the ceiling before locking eyes with each other. There was evident horror in their eyes. 

The agony inflicted by the poison was unbearable, to the point that even they, as tough as they were, almost knelt and surrendered. 

They would not have been able to tolerate it for much longer if Landon had not interceded. 

After all, Haylan had been twice as harsh on them as he had been toward Larry moments before. The pain inflicted extensive damage to their body and mind. It made them feel as though they had been trapped in hell for years. That agony was unbearable. 

“You should be grateful to Mr. Katz. You would have died if he didn’t plead for mercy on your behalf!” 

Haylan cast a cold, menacing glance at them and declared, “Though you might have escaped death, you still have to suffer punishment. I have only alleviated half of the poison’s effects on you 

“From this day on, the poison in your bodies will take effect every three days. Remember to come and look for me for the antidote in three days. 

“Do you understand?” 

Lamber and Hector’s pupils dilated violently when they heard this. Their eyes were filled with fear and anger. 

They thought, “The poison will take effect every three days? 

“Isn’t that worse than death?” 

“Thank you,” Landon said gratefully. 

The Dragon Army had saved his life, so he wouldn’t just stand by and watch the soldiers in the rescue team die here. 

However, he had misunderstood Haylan. 

Haylan did not intend to kill Hector and Lambert. He only used Hidden Strength to torture them. He would not have killed them even without his intercession. 

“Mr. Katz, there’s no need to be so formal, We are all part of the same team,” Haylan said calmly. 

Landon nodded and turned his gaze to Tristan, Hector, and the others. He spoke in a deep voice, “Alright, stop causing trouble here. Gather your belongings and leave now!” 

Enduring the pain, Hector stood up, gritted his teeth, and said, “Landon Katz, even though you pleaded for us, we don’t appreciate that gesture.” 

Lambert also stood up and glared at Haylan. “Bastard, quickly hand the antidote and pistol over to me!” 

“You still want the pistol?” 

Haylan’s gaze turned cold. He glanced at Lambert, picked up the pistol, and moved his hands. 

In an instant, the gun disintegrated into its components and fell to the ground. 

“What?” 

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Landon, Hector, Lambert, and the others changed drastically. 

He had dismantled the gun. 

They were all soldiers who had spent years fighting on the frontlines and were very familiar with firearms. 

They had even won competitions for assembling and dismantling firearms in their respective units. 

However, they had never heard of anyone dismantling a gun as quickly as Haylan just did. 

Haylan had dismantled the complicated firearm with a swift movement of both hands. Witnessing this spectacle was both astonishing and embarrassing for them. 

Haylan kicked the gun fragments over and said calmly. “It’s just a pile of scrap metal. Take it.” 

Lambert looked at the parts on the ground and then looked at Haylan. For the first time, his eyes were filled with shock. “Who are you?” 

For him to have such a technique in dismantling guns, Haylan must not be an ordinary person. 

Lambert and Hector’s expressions darkened as they recalled Haylan’s terrifying strength. The way they looked at Haylan became completely different. 

“I’m just an ordinary person.” 

Haylan remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the two brothers before shifting to Tristan. “Are you the leader of the family?” he asked. “It is up to you to decide whether we go to war or make peace. 

“I will fight with you till the end if that’s what you want. 

“If you want to make peace, do it according to the conditions I mentioned before.” 

Haylan took out his phone as he spoke. He pulled up the stopwatch and placed it in front of Tristan. “Mr. Muller, you have 

one minute to think.” 

Tristan gritted his teeth. His face twisted with anger and frustration as he fell into deep thought. 

Previously, he had also given Haylan time to make a choice. Now, Haylan was giving him a taste of his own medicine by returning the favor and giving him time to choose. 

This was a ruthless slap to the reputation of the Muller family. 

However, they were helpless in the face of Haylan’s immense power. 

Haylan, stop dreaming. The Muller family will never negotiate with you!” Hector said coldly. 

Haylan spoke indifferently. The head of your family hasn’t said anything yet, so what right do you he (you to decide?” 

Lambert wanted to add something, but Tristan quickly stopped him. 

Tristan fixed his gaze on Haylan and said in a deep voice. “If we agree to negotiate peace, can you guarantee the safety of the 

four of us?” 

“Yes” Haylan nodded. 

“Then we have to rely on you for the antidote from time to time and become puppets without dignity, controlled by you? Do you think we will agree to such a condition?” 

“Do you have any other choice?” 

Haylan stared at Tristan with a cold gaze. 

Tristan immediately fell silent, and his expression became even uglier than before. 

Yes, did he have any other choice now? 

No one could cure the poison invented by Haylan, not even his disciple, William Hawk. 

This made him feel even more helpless and in despair. 

“Mr. Muller, we cannot possibly submit to a mere security guard like him! Hector exclaimed angrily. 

“Mr. Muller, wake up. We Mullers must never be so cowardly! We can’t lower our heads even if it means death!” Lambert’s gaze was cold and firm.
