The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 

Inside the villa, Felicia led Mrs. Labenz into the house and invited her to sit down. 

Then, she busied with making coffee and getting pastries for Mrs. Labenz. 

Once Mrs. Labenz and Harry entered the villa, their eyes lit up at the murals, crystal chandeliers, sofas, televisions, and other decorations in the house. 

Wealthy people were usually particular about the quality of the materials used in their houses. Hence, they could tell if something was of high caliber. 

And all the decorations in the villa looked extravagant and reeked of money. The villa exuded an air of nobility and an artistic vibe. 

The sofa, in particular, was beyond their imagination. It was the softest and most comfortable sofa they had ever sat on. The murals on the walls also looked very high-class. Clearly, they were made by famous people, 

Even the calligraphy in the entryway looked vibrant and spirited. It was majestic and extraordinary, definitely a masterpiece. 

Mrs. Labenz and Harry were ablaze with greed at what they saw. 

Even though they were rich and also lived luxuriously, their villa was nothing compared to that place. 

Mrs. Labenz and Harry felt bitter and vexed because Felicia was living comfortably in such a beautiful place. 

She was nothing more than a forsaken child of the Labenz family. But she was now leading a better life than them, and they were resentful. 

After Harry put down the gifts, he could not help but ask, “Felicia, how much is this villa of yours?” 

Felicia smiled as she made the coffee. “I don’t know either. It was Haylan who bought the house.” 

Her face was full of pride when she replied. 

Her son had achieved so much. More than she ever could, which made her proud and happy. 

Haylan, sitting at the side, saw his mother’s smile and felt contented. 

At this moment, he realized something 

Although Mrs. Labenz and Harry did not treat their family well. But as long as they could make his mother happy, he could put up 

with them. 

“Haylan bought all these?” 

When Mrs. Labenz and Harry heard this, they looked at Haylan in astonishment. 

Haylan was just a waiter and dishwasher while he was overseas. 

How could he have the money to buy such an expensive house? 

Harry could not hide his curiosity and asked, “Haylan, how much did you spend on this house?” 

“Not much. It only costs about six million dollars,” Haylan replied nonchalantly. 

“Six million dollars?” 

Mrs. Labenz’s and Harry’s jaws dropped when they heard his reply. 

That was twice the amount of what their overseas property cost! 

Mrs. Labenz was embarrassed by her reaction and quickly restrained her astounded expression. She then said calmly, “That is not very expensive. It will mean that your down payment is more than two million dollars. The monthly installment must be quite a hefty amount for you.” 

“Haylan, you’re just a security guard. Can you afford such a high monthly installment?” 

“That’s right, Haylan. It is nice to be able to stay in such a luxurious villa, but you have to live within your means. Your installment is too high. After deducting the installment, you would not have enough left from your salary for your daily expenses.” Harry added. 

When they spoke, they still sounded high and mighty, filled with a tone of superiority. 

In their opinion, although the Jaber family possessed that invaluable emerald pendant, they must still be living in poverty since they had not sold it off. They could not afford such a villa based on their salary 

“Monthly installment? What’s that?” 

Haylan was unfazed. “It’s just six million dollars. There’s no need to pay it in installments. I bought the house in full” 

“The full amount?” 

Mrs. Labenz and Harry could not believe what they had just heard. 

That was six million dollars in cold hard cash! 

Where did Haylan get so much money? 

“Haylan, you’re not lying to us, are you? Are you sure you did not rent or buy this house with a loan?” 

Mrs. Labenz was still unable to believe that Haylan could have so much money. She needed to get to the bottom of the 

matter. 

“That’s right, Haylan. It is not just six million dollars, but more than that. How many plates do you need to scrub overseas to make this much money? an unconvinced Harry questioned. 

Haylan smiled and looked at them in disdain. 

What a weird pair of mother and son. 

They could not stand the sight of other people doing better than them. 

Haylan had already made it clear, but the two of them still refused to believe him. They were just narrow-minded people who looked down on him. 

If they were not his mother’s relatives, he would have chased them out long ago. 

“You guys have misunderstood.” 

Felicia placed the freshly made coffee before them and explained, “Haylan made some money overseas and used that to invest in the stock market. He bought Mapleturz Group shares.” 

“He was lucky and bought the shares when the price was at its lowest. Then, the stock rose and he made more than six million dollars.” 

When Mrs. Labenz and Harry heard that, they turned green-eyed with envy. 

Six million dollars! 

From stocks! 

Lady luck was shining on Haylan! 

“What a lucky bastard.” Harry whispered under his breath. 

He had tried to get his hands on a six million dollars deal in the past. Although he had put in a lot of effort, he did not manage to clinch the deal and was humiliated instead. 

But this Haylan managed to reap so much money by investing in shares. That made Harry spiteful and jealous. 

“So you used all the money to buy the house? There is nothing left?” Mrs. Labenz asked. 

“Actually, Haylanı still has…” 

Felicia wanted to tell Mrs. Labenz about the two buildings Haylan had in the city. She wanted her mother and brother to look at her in a different light. 

But at that moment, Haylan stopped her. 

He then turned to look at Mrs. Labenz and Harry with a gullible expression. He put his hands in front of him and said, “Of course, I have to spend what I have made in the stock market immediately. Otherwise, I’ll lose everything.” 

“So, I spent that six million dollars on the house and have nothing left now.” 

“Not only that. After I bought the house, I borrowed 200 thousand dollars and threw it into the stock market. But I lost everything, and I’m in debt now.”
