The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 

Philip stared at Haylan’s photo. He smoked a cigar and fell into deep thought. 

Philip really wanted to kill Haylan 

But how? 

Even a general-class assassin would arrive in three days. During these three days, Philip would have to be suppressed by Reign and Havlan. 

It would be fine it the assassin succeeded, but if not, Philip would feel even more aggrieved and angrier. 

“This won’t do. Other than finding an assassin, I have to find other helpers, Philip thought. 

Philip picked up his phone and called a friend. “Use our resources to investigate Haylan immediately and find out who his enemies are. Send the information to my phone within five hours.” 

The enemy of one’s enemy was one’s friend. 

Philip wanted to find Haylan’s enemies and deal with Haylan together. 

After instructing others to investigate Haylan’s enemies, Philip suddenly thought of someone and slapped his thigh. “David’ 

“How could I forget David?” 

David was Quentin’s most loyal follower. David had helped Quentin do many dirty things. 

Now that Quentin was no longer in the security department, Philip had lost his informant to spy on Haylan. Philip could not obtain any information about Haylan, let alone know Haylan’s weaknesses. 

If Philip could rope David in, it would be equivalent to planting a spy beside Haylan. 

Philip made a prompt decision and immediately called his secretary. “Help me make an appointment with David. Tonight, I’ll treat him to a meal at the Drunken Wind House. 

“Remember! It must be done in secret!” 

In the security department, Haylan played computer games in boredom. 

At that moment, Haylan’s phone rang. It was messages on WhatsApp from Evelyn and Mia. 

The message from Evelyn was probably an apology for what had happened last night. Evelyn also said something very important. Corey had been beaten up so badly. Maxwell was very angry and wanted to make trouble for Haylan during this period. Haylan was told to be careful. 

The message from Mia was about the same. They both said that Maxwell wanted to find trouble with Haylan. Mia also expressed that she was willing to set up a dinner and invited Haylan and Maxwell to sit down and negotiate to resolve the misunderstanding 

Haylan directly ignored this suggestion. 

Haylan and Maxwell were not on the same side at all. They could never be friends. Besides, Corey deserved to be beaten up. Haylan did not regret beating up that scumbag at all. 

If Maxwell dared to find trouble with him, Haylan would fight with him to the end. There was nothing to be afraid of 

Haylan put his phone aside. He didn’t want to care, but after thinking about it, he finally sent a message back to Mia. [Thank you, but no 

Soon, Mia began to reply again. [Haylan, don’t be stubborn. Maxwell is powerful and ruthless. Once he makes a move, it will be late. You won’t be able to win.] 

[Don’t worry. A mere Maxwell is nothing to me. Haylan replied. 

Then, Haylan put the phone aside and ignored it 

People like Maxwell and Corey were just small fries in Haylan’s eyes. There was nothing to worry about. 

Haylan picked up his phone and put it in his pocket. After tasting a pot of coffee, Haylan got up and went to work, patrolling the various departments. 

When Haylan reached the research and development department, Yvonne walked out and pulled him back. “Haylan, are you free tonight?” 

“What’s wrong?” Haylan asked. 

“I have two movie tickets here. Do you want to go to a movie with me tonight!” Yvonne asked. 

Haylan was stunned for a moment 

Yvonne also had two movie tickets. What a coincidencel 

“Are you free or not?” Yvonne asked. 

“I have an appointment with my classmates. Tonight, there will be a high school reunion. You can find someone else,” Haylan said 

“Male students or female students?” Yvonne’s heart tightened 

“Both, Haylan answered truthfully. 

When Yvonne heard that, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Then you have to remember that you owe me a movie.” 

Haylan was helpless. He could only nod and say that when he had time, he would definitely treat Yvonne to a movie. Only then did Yvonne let Haylan go. 

After patrolling, Haylan returned to his office and sat down. He counted on his fingers. “Ms. Labenz, Yvonne… After a day. I rejected the invitations of two beautiful women.” 

After saying that, Haylan smiled bitterly. 

In order to eat with Mia. Haylan had given up a lot today. 

In fact, Haylan did not have any improper thoughts about Mia. It was only because Mia had helped Haylan and Noah that he wanted to treat Mia to a meal to express his gratitude. 

However, Haylan felt that it was a pity to reject Yvonne and Reign’s invitations due to Mia. 

After work. Haylan did not go to have dinner immediately but went straight to the raw stone market in Lightdom City 

Haylan had thought it through very thoroughly. He was about to go against Hugh, one of the Four Kings. Now, Haylan had only guaranteed the safety of Noah and Perry’s families. Haylan had yet to guarantee the safety of his own family. 

Haylan had yet to get a house from Lydia, and he could not settle his family in a new house. 

To ensure the safety of his family, Haylan could only rely on some special ways. 

Among the techniques that Haylan had learned from his master, there was one way to avoid disaster, and that was to wear an emerald pendant! 

As long as an array was engraved on an emerald pendant, such an emerald pendant could change a person’s luck and invisibly avoid calamity. 

The higher the quality of the emerald, the higher the level of the array that could be engraved. In that case, the more effective it was to protect its owner. 

Therefore, Haylan needed to buy good emerald pendants. It would be best if he could buy spirit stones. 

The raw stone market was bustling with people. 

There were raw stones that had just been transported back from the ore yard, top-grade sapphires that had already been cut, and even emeralds. In addition, there were many rubies and agates….
