The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361 

Haylan looked at Mrs. Labenz and Harry. His mind quickly got down to work as he began to plot a trap for those two people. 

“Yes, yes, yes. Your grandma is right. You’re very talented. Don’t give up. Harry nodded. 

Mrs. Labenz and Harry wanted to see the Jaber family go bankrupt and lose their big house. They would love to gloat over their misery. Only then could they have the chance to buy the emerald pendant from Felicia at a low price. 

Haylan pretended to be motivated with no intention of quitting. He said, “You are right. I do not want to give up, too. However, I don’t have the money to invest in stocks now.” 

“How about this? Since Grandma and Uncle Harry have the means to immigrate overseas, you guys must be wealthy. Why 

you lend me money to help me tide over my situation?” 

don’t 

Mrs. Labenz and Harry were stunned at Haylan’s request. 

“How much do you want to borrow?” Mrs. Labenz asked. 

Haylan smiled and put up his fingers. “Not much. Just six million dollars!” 

“If you can loan me six million dollars, I will make 60 million dollars!” 

“What? Haylan, are you crazy?” Mrs. Labenz’s expression changed drastically. 

“Grandma, I’ve been monitoring that stock for a long time. It’ll definitely make a lot of money!” 

Haylan said confidently, “As you mentioned. I’m talented in this aspect. So you must believe me. I’ll definitely make a comeback!” 

“Besides, Grandma and Uncle Harry, I’m your relative. Don’t tell me you are not willing to lend me some money?” 

“Or were you lying just now when you said you believed me?” 

Upon hearing this, the look on Mrs. Labenz and Harry Labenz’s faces immediately became contorted, as if they had just swallowed something foul. 

They had wanted to dupe Haylan into a pit hole, but did not expect him to turn around and ask them for money. 

And now they had put themselves in a difficult situation. They did not want to lend Haylan the money, but it would not look good on them if they rejected him. 

It was six million dollars! 

With the Jaber’s family current financial situation, there was no way they could pay back this sum of money if Haylan lost 

them in the stock market. 

Besides, they were preparing to immigrate now. They still needed money to get settled down when they reached Whileal Kingdom. How could they loan money out this easily? 

Haylan found their flustered expressions funny and tried to restrain his laughter. “Grandma, Uncle Harry, I’ve been eyeing that stock for a long time. Please lend me the money.” 

“No, wait. We’re all relatives, and I’m your junior. Isn’t it inappropriate for me to borrow money from you?” 

“How about this? Why don’t you guys treat the six million dollars as an investment? If I managed to make 60 million dollars. I will split half with you!” 

“That’s 30 million dollars. If you exchange it for Whileal Kingdom’s currency, it is at least 20 million dollars. That should be enough to last you for a long time.” 

Mrs. Labenz’s and Harry’s faces darkened. 

In their eyes, Haylan was a good-for-nothing security guard with a debt of 200 thousand dollars. Yet, he kept talking about earning millions of money. Such arrogance and egoism. He was doomed for failure. 

And he dared ask them to invest in him. What wistful thinking. 

They knew that they would lose all the money if they ever invested in him. 

Most importantly, Haylan had told them it was an investment instead of a loan. That meant that even if he lost all the money, he need not pay it back. 

That was daylight robbery! 

What a scheme Haylan had come up with. It was a shame he did not make scamming people his livelihood. 

Mrs. Labenz glanced at Felicia, who was standing at the side. As she had yet to obtain Felicia’s emerald pendant, she did not want to offend Haylan. Hence, she could only suppress her displeasure and disdain and said, “Haylan, it’s good that you’re confident, but you have to be down-to-earth.” 

“How about this? Grandma will give you 20 thousand dollars. You can use this money to slowly invest in the stock market and accumulate your funds, alright?” 

“No, Grandma, that’s a 60-million-dollar deal. Don’t you want to invest? I thought you trust me? Then you have to support me!” Haylan insisted. 

Mrs. Labenz’s face was even grimmer than before. 

“Support you?” 

“If I support you, what will happen to my plans to immigrate to Whileal Kingdom?” 

“We are talking about 60 million dollars! Who do 

you think 

you are?” 

“Some stock market genius?” 

“Do you need to become a surveillance officer to monitor surveillance cameras after you lost that money? Do you want me to pretend to be a cleaner to attract people’s attention?” Mrs. Labenz was scolding Haylan in her mind. 

Harry stood up and nodded at Haylan with a smile. “Well, Haylan, six million dollars is not a small amount. I’ll discuss it with your Grandma first before giving you an answer.” 

After he said that, he pulled Mrs. Labenz up and the two of them went to a remote corner to discuss 

“Mom, why don’t we invest 200 thousand dollars in him?” Harry suggested. 

“Are you crazy? Are you really going to give him money?” Mrs. Labenz frowned. 

Why should she give Haylan 200 thousand dollars for no reason? 

“Mom, you need to make sacrifices to make big money. 

Harry elaborated with a devious look, “We’ll first give Haylan that sum of money. Then, when he loses all the money, we’ll find an excuse and say that because we wanted to help Haylan, our company has run into financial difficulties and is on the verge of bankruptcy,” 

“This way, we can fool Felicia into handing over that emerald” 

Mrs. Labenz’s eyes lit up when she heard that. 

This method was indeed feasible. 

Mrs. Labenz chuckled and said, “You still have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Alright, let’s do this. We must get that emerald from Felicia before we go overseas.” 

Meanwhile, Felicia was alone with Haylan in the living room of the villa. 

Felicia pulled Haylan into the kitchen and whispered in a low voice, “Haylan, aren’t you going too far?” 

“It is rare that your Grandma and Uncle Harry will visit us. How can you borrow money from them? You even ask for six million dollars. Do you think it is easy for anyone to make that much money?” 

Haylan remained collected as he took a bottle of cola from the fridge. “Mom, can’t you tell? They’re here for your emerald pendant. They don’t really care about you.” 

“Nonsense. Didn’t you see the gifts your Uncle Harry brought with him? I saw them just now. They’re all branded.” 

“Branded? Well, with their character, they will never bring anything nice to us. Let’s open the gifts later. I can guarantee they have merely disguised inferior products under all those pretty packagings” 

“Haylan, I understand if you are biased against your grandma and uncle, but we’re a family. Your grandma’s blood flows in my veins. They might look down on us, but they definitely won’t harm us,” Felicia said. 

“Mom, you’re too kind. Although they are related to you by blood, they harbor evil intentions and wish for your downfall. They cannot wait for our family to go bankrupt.” 

Haylan slipped on his cola and continued emotionlessly, “Such wicked relatives are sometimes more terrifying than a known enemy.” 

“They enjoy dominance and supremacy. When they saw how miserable we were, they did not pity us. They only mocked 

us.” 

“And when they see us doing better than them, they go green with envy and hope for us to go bankrupt.”
