The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 

If Evelyn had not mentioned Maxwell just now, Haylan would have long forgotten his grudge against him. 

Maxwell even said in the class chat group that Haylan would be made to pay a price, which was so arrogant and domineering. 

Therefore, he decided to ask when he thought of Felix’s identity as vice commander of the Lightdom Military Department. He wanted to see how high of a status Maxwell’s father had to have made Evelyn and the others so terrified. 

“Maxwell Rivers?” 

Felix’s eyebrows rose slightly as he carefully recalled, then he shook his head and said, “I remember that there is indeed a small commander surnamed Rivers among the live-star Lords. 

“But I don’t know the name of his child.” 

Felix’s gaze turned cold as he asked, “Mr. Jaber, has this man named Maxwell Rivers offended you? 

“Don’t worry. I’ll immediately investigate when I get back. I will make sure that he pays the price if that brat does have offended you.” 

“Alright, I’m afraid that I will have to trouble you with that. This Maxwell is like a fly, buzzing around and annoying me,” Haylan said. 

“Mr. Jaber, don’t worry. I’ll definitely find that brat and teach him a lesson when I get back!” Felix assured, patting his chest. 

“There’s no need to go too hard on him. You know, just teach him a lesson, and that should be enough.” 

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle it,” Felix said. 

Haylan then smiled and did not continue speaking. 

At this moment, Henry also stood up and said, “Maxwell Rivers, right? Mr. Jaber, we’ll go find him and beat him up later. We’ll throw him into the military department and let Commander Howard teach him how to be a proper person. What do you think?” 

“Alright, do as you see fit. Just don’t get anyone killed,” Haylan said with a smile. 

Henry smiled sinisterly. “Don’t worry, I assure you that he will find this lesson very memorable.” 

Wayne said, “I’m very sorry for not getting the matter resolved for you last night, Mr. Jaber. Still, you were willing to treat me, so count me in.” 

After saying that, they immediately bid farewell to their healer, then left in a menacing manner. 

Haylan gazed at their backs, smiled slightly, and lay down on the couch, closing his eyes to rest. 

After taking a break for a while, he opened his computer again to continue improving the training manual. 

In his opinion, Maxwell was just a small potato that did not deserve his attention. After all, a bunch of people could deal with him on his behalf. 

At this moment, in a villa in Lightdom City, Maxwell suddenly felt a chill behind him, shivering and sneezing. 

He held the woman in his arms and asked in confusion, “Why do I suddenly feel a bit cold?” 

The woman looked up and said gently, “Could it be the air conditioner? Is the temperature set too low?” 

Haylan would definitely be shocked if he were here. 

It was because the woman sleeping with Maxwell was a married. classmate of theirs, and she was somewhat attractive. 

“Forget it. Let’s not stop having fun.” 

With the woman in his arms, the man turned off the lights in the room. hastily. 

He had no idea that he had already been targeted due to Evelyn’s words. 

Inside the security department’s office at the Mapleturz Group. 

About two hours later, Haylan finally finished writing the security training manual and compiled a list of contents. 

After everything was done, he breathed a sigh of relief and checked the time. It was already twelve noon, time for a lunch break. 

He walked out and went to the company cafeteria for lunch. 

After finishing his meal, he tried to look for Reign but found that she had. not come to work today. Upon inquiry, he learned that she was on leave today. 

“Friday off? Who does that? How strange,” he thought to himself. 

He had wanted to thank Reign for her assistance last night. 

Unexpectedly, she was not around. 

“It seems that I will have to wait for the next time.” 

Helpless, Haylan could only return to the security department. After sorting out the security training manual, he transferred the file to his cell phone, preparing to get it printed and bound. 

“Haylan!” 

Before he could leave, an extremely surprised voice was heard. Yvonne rushed in, overjoyed, and said, “Your protective gem is so effective! How incredible! 

“Ever since I started wearing this protective gem that you gave me, I have not had any bad luck.” 

Ever since she came into contact with the parchment scroll, she had been having bad luck. At best, she would fall. At worst, she would have life-threatening misfortunes. 

However, ever since she started wearing the protective gem given by Haylan, she had been feeling particularly refreshed and nothing threatening had happened in the past day or two. 

Therefore, she specially came over today to thank him. 

As she spoke, she even placed a gift basket in front of Hyalan, smiling joyfully as she said, “I really didn’t expect you to know such a move. It’s really amazing. How can you be so versatile?” 

“I only know a little,” he said humbly. 

“To express my gratitude, I’ll treat you to a meal tonight. It’s also to hold an apprenticeship banquet for my little brother,” she said. 

“Don’t worry about your brother’s matter. Let’s wait until he’s discharged from the hospital,” he said. 

“Master, don’t wait for me to be discharged. I’m already here.” 

Just then, a hearty voice came. Lucas walked into the security department and stood in front of Haylan. 

“Why are you here? Don’t you have class?” 

Upon seeing her brother, Yvonne coldly glared at him. 

Lucas trembled and hastily said, “Yvonne, I’m sick now, so I don’t have to go to school. I’ll only go back to school after I recover in a few days. 

“I’m here today for an apprenticeship!”
