The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277 

Haylan stared at Robert without blinking. 

His gaze was as sharp as knives while his killing intent was prominent and chilling. 

Though the sentence seemed to be a question, it was in fact a threat. 

As he spoke, a murderous aura enveloped Robert like a tsunami. 

Robert looked straight into Haylan’s eyes with a distressed expression as he clenched his fists. At this moment, he was filled with grievance. 

He had guarded Lightdom City for so many years, and he had always been the one threatening others. Now, out of his expectation, he was threatened by Haylan. 

“What a humiliation!” he thought to himself. 

Indeed, it was a blatant humiliation. 

He wished to go on a rampage, fighting Haylan on the spot and stopping only if either one was dead. 

However, he could not do that! 

It was because he could see the killing intent in Haylan’s eyes. 

If he did not agree, Haylan might make a move and start a massacre! 

Most importantly, the killing intent emanating from Haylan’s body was too terrifying. Even though he was a powerful seven-star General, his heart tremble in fear, causing him to not dare to make a move rashly. 

Seeing this scene, Dominic, Shawn, and the others were shocked once again. 

They found it astonishing that Haylan had actually stunned Robert. 

To them, this was simply unbelievable. 

Haylan ignored the others and kept staring at Robert. “Why don’t you say anything? Does it mean you disagree?” 

No matter how much Robert clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, in the end, he compromised and said, “You’re right. I agree. 

“Mr. Bard, you can’t do this. I am your follower, after all. If I kneel in 

front of everyone for a day and a night, not only will I lose face, but your dignity will plummet,” said Hugh hurriedly. 

“Shameless!” Haylan’s extended his hand as he stared coldly. 

In an instant, a fruit fork flew into the air at lightning speed and punctured Hugh’s cheek, landing on his skin and flesh like a nail. 

“Ouch!” Hugh’s face twisted in agony. 

He wanted to scream loudly, but since the fork had pierced through his cheek, it felt as though both sides of his cheeks were being torn apart. when he opened his mouth. Meanwhile, the pain was like a fire that he 

was unable to scream at all. 

Seeing this, the expressions of Robert and everyone present changed. drastically again. 

It was Telekinesis! 

And it was shockingly powerful! 

Having displayed such a move, everyone once again witnessed how terrifying Haylan was. 

This was the skill of a seven-star General. Meanwhile, seeing the relaxed expression on Haylan’s face, it was rather likely that he was stronger than a seven-star General. 

“Mr. Bard, this is Hugh’s fault. You know, he simply broke an arm and injured an ear, which is in no way comparable to the hardships my friends and I have suffered. Do you agree with my point of view?” Haylan asked coldly. 

Robert was looking very gloomy, but in the face of Haylan’s words, he could only nod in agreement. 

“Since Mr. Bard thinks so, Hugh Croydon must pay the price accordingly.” 

Haylan’s eyes were cold as he reached out to point. 

Two powerful sword beams swept across the sky and immediately shattered Hugh’s knees. 

The man fell to his knees on the spot, screaming continually. 

Meanwhile, standing opposite him was no one but Perry and Noah. 

“Apologize!” Haylan demanded coldly. 

As he spoke, he released a terrifying aura that squashed Hugh. 

Hugh was scared out of his wits, immediately kneeling on the ground and apologizing non-stop. He begged the duo in front of him for mercy. “I’m sorry, I was wrong. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me.” 

“I promise. It won’t happen again.” 

When Perry and Noah saw Hugh like this, they were so flattered that they did not know what to say. 

They could not believe that Hugh, one of the high and mighty Four Kings, was actually kneeling in front of them, apologizing and begging for mercy. 

This was something they could never have imagined before. 

It was unimaginable that it was actually happening today. 

When Robert saw Hugh like this. his fat body trembled as his heart was filled with humiliation. 

If words got out that Hugh, his subordinate, apologized like this, he would be the one losing face! 

When people hear about this, his reputation would plummet, and he might not even be able to control his other subordinates in the future. 

He walked over to Hugh with a grim face. 

“Mr. Bard, save, save me…” Hugh raised his head and pleaded. 

Swoosh! 

But before he could finish his sentence, a vital energy wrapped around Robert’s hand and transformed into a sharp, invisible blade. 

The blade beam was swift, disappearing in a flash. 

Hugh’s body was instantly dismembered. 

His eyes were wide open. 

After all, he had never expected to die under Robert’s blade. 

After killing Hugh. Robert said coldly. “Hugh Croydon, you have been embezzling and abusing your power to benefit yourself. You’ve been nibbling away at my assets for many years, so you deserve a death 

sentence.” 

Haylan’s expression darkened 

When Robert approached Hugh just now, he had a bad feeling. 

However, since Robert was too fast, Hugh was already dead by the time. he realized the man’s intentions. 

He stared at Hugh’s body, his eyes cold, and then he looked at Robert and asked. “What was that?” 

His main purpose in this negotiation was to force Hugh to kneel in the village of Perry and Noah so that the duo could receive an apology and regain their dignity. 

However, Robert had killed Hugh! 

This meant that he could no longer make use of the situation, that this matter had to come to an abrupt end. 

It seemed that the grievances Noah and Perry had suffered in the village would not be alleviated and that they could not regain their reputation. 

It was ruthless of Robert! 

Robert looked at Haylan and did not speak to him. Instead, he turned to Perry and Noah and said, “I don’t know what Hugh had done to you, but he is dead now. 

“I’ll apologize to you on his behalf. Please let this go. Is that okay?” 

After saying that, he nodded slightly at the duo.
