The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 275

Chapter 275 

“You want me to work for you?” 

Haylan could not help but laugh when he heard Robert’s remarks. 

“That’s right.” 

Robert Bard smiled brightly and said naively, “So long as you’re willing to follow me, I guarantee that your friends will also live a good prosperous life in the future. No one will dare to mess with them in Lightdom City. 

“I will also make sure that your family gets to enjoy wealth and prestige perpetually! 

“How about this? To demonstrate my sincerity, I will give you 200 million dollars right now! 

“Also, the billions of dollars circulating in Hugh’s underground bank will also become yours!” 

After saying that, Robert immediately pulled out a checkbook, wrote down 200 million dollars, and handed it to Haylan as a form of guarantee. 

Everyone gasped. 

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. 

After all, the man decided to hand out 200 million dollars in one go! 

On top of the 200 million dollars, Hugh’s underground bank, which certainly worthed over billions of dollars and managed. the flow of various funds under Robert’s command, was also a part of the deal. With that ginormous amount of cash, whoever owned it would be so wealthy that one would never have to worry about money again. 

Robert was going all out in order to recruit Haylan! 

Before the man of the center of attention could agree, many people present were already tempted. 

Even 200 million dollars, instead of billions, could sustain them for the rest of their lives. 

Therefore, Hugh’s expression changed drastically when he leard this. 

After all, he could not help but wonder what he would end up doing if Robert allowed Haylan to replace him. 

Gloominess appeared on the faces of Tomas, Zar, and Damian in the meantime. 

If Haylan did agree to work for Robert, that would imply that Hugh and Haylan would be working side by side in the future. 

One might wonder how they were going to get along in the future. 

“Wait… 200 million dollars?” 

“And a bank that is worth two billion dollar?” 

When Noah, Perry, and Ashlee heard this, their eyes widened. Their mouths were agape in astonishment and they were rendered speechless. 

After all, this amount of money was an eye-opener for them. 

The most startling thing was that Haylan was, in fact, worth so much money that Robert was willing to do this. 

“Work with me and you will be rich and powerful. You can also do whatever you want in Lightdom City. What do you think about this proposition, Mr. Jaber?” Robert asked. 

“If you want me to work for you, this bit of money is not enough,” Haylan said as he lit a cigarette and smiled calmly. 

“How much do you want? Say your price,” said Robert 

He looked at Haylan with bright eyes. 

Indeed, Haylan was very powerful. He was even stronger than his subordinate, the Four Kings. Moreover, he remained calm despite challenges and was meticulous in his way of doing things. Not only did he manage to force Hugh into exile, but also remain unintimidated by Robert’s aura. In other words, his strength was beyond one’s imagination. 

He was truly a talent! 

With the help of such a talent, Robert felt he might be able to rise to glory again, and perhaps he could fight his way back to that place. 

Therefore, while this might seem like a negotiation, it was actually a planned encounter that enabled him to meet with Haylan. 

Everything he had done and all the faces he had put on were merely tests for Haylan’s capabilities. 

“You can’t afford this,” Haylan sid. 

Robert laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Then, he revealed his signature benevolent smile. “Mr. Jaber, you have underestimated me 

“With my wealth in Laghtdom City and around the world, I can get whatever I fancy at ease. 

“I can afford whatever you want, no matter the price. 

Though there was no sternness in his voice, it carried unquestionable confidence and dominance. 

This was the confidence of a king! 

Haylan frowned slightly. I thought we were here to negotiate instead of making a deal.” 

He finally understood. 

He now realized that Noah and Perry were not a part of Robert’s intentions, nor was he here to seek benefits. Rather, Robert was here for Haylan. 

“You can’t afford it Haylan shook his head. 

“In this world, everything has a price. Everything can be bought so long as the amount is sound. Now, name a price,” Robert said 

“I told you, you can’t afford this,” Haylan said in a deep voice. 

“Haylan Jaber, don’t be so shameless! Mr. Bard is thinking highly of you.” Tomas said angrily 

The expressions on Damman’s and Zac’s faces were also sullen. 

They had followed Robert for so long. They had paid a lot of prices and worked hard to climb to their current status. 

Robert went to great lengths to invite Haylan over, but to their surprise, the man still refused. This angered and frustrated both of them, rendering them feel like they had been underestimated 

Before Tomas could brush speaking, Robert had already turned his gaze toward him with a hint of coldness through his smiling eyes. “Do not interrupt us. 

“Mr. Bard, Haylan Jaber is trying to embarrass you. You know, he is our enemy. You… Tomas said 

Robert remained smiling, but his gazer was getting colder gradually. Tomas, are you trying to lecture me and teach me how to do things 

Having been glared at by Robert, the man in his question felt frightened in an instant and dared not say anything else. 

Robert ignored lum again and continued to look at the man he would to recruit with eagerness. He smiled and said, Taylan, name your price 

“You can’t possibly afford it, Haylan emphasized 

He was not only the Sovereign of Shadows but also the Mercenary King, the top mercenary in the entire world. The mercenaries under his command could sweep through many countries and even challenge those standing at the top 

He could follow his father’s wishes and become a security guard, but he could not possibly work for someone like Robert Bard 

In this world, other than the master, his parents, and relatives, no one was worthy of his loyalty and obedience! 

Not even the god 

“Say that again?” Robert’s voice became a little cold. 

“Tve already said it several times. If you have hearing problems, don’t bother wandering around, old man,” Haylan said in deep voice.
