The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 

“Mr. Jaber, do you have any other complaints?” Lucy asked. 

Haylan picked up the stack of money and counted it carefully. Then, he took out the excess money and stuffed it into Mike’s pocket. “I’m scrupulous in separating public from private interests. I said 600 dollars, so you only have to pay 600 dollars. I don’t need more. Take the extra money back.” 

“Piss off!” 

With that, he kicked Mike out of the food stall. 

Leo and the others heaved sighs of relief when they saw this. 

As long as Haylan stopped looking for trouble with them, that would be the best thing. 

“You guys, get lost too!” Haylan stared coldly at Leo and the others. 

“Did you hear that? Mr. Jaber told you to get lost!” Lucy scolded. 

“Alright, no problem. We’ll get lost immediately!” 

Leo, Mr. Baker, and the others felt as if they had been pardoned. They sat back in their cars and started the cars to leave. They left faster than rabbits. 

Mike and his scoundrel friends turned pale with fright at this moment and hurriedly left like stray dogs. 

After Haylan dealt with these people, the scene quietened down. 

At this moment, all the employees in the food stall looked at Haylan and Felicia with extremely different gazes. 

Leo was a famous rich second-generation heir in Lightdom City. He was arrogant, despotic, and condescending. 

In the end, such a big shot was defeated by Haylan. From this, it could be seen that Haylan was not simple. 

“Mom, from now on, this food stall will be yours. The employees will also be yours. As for the supply channels and other things, you can ask the previous boss. I believe he won’t dare to hide anything from you,” Haylan said. 

“I’ll be in charge of this. I have a food company in Lightdom City. In the future, I’ll supply goods to Mrs. Felicia at wholesale prices,” Simon said ingratiatingly. 

Lucy asked him to personally send money to Haylan. Lucy also wanted to teach Leo a lesson for Haylan, which meant that Haylan had a close relationship with Lucy. 

If he could build a good relationship with Haylan, it would be beneficial to him. 

Felicia was still a little flattered. “Is that appropriate?” 

“Mrs. Felicia, my company is nearby. In the future, as long as you call me, I’ll deliver the goods here immediately.” Simon smiled. 

“Alright, thank you then.” 

Haylan was especially generous and agreed on Felicia’s behalf. 

“Miss Zabel, Mr. Kwen, thank you so much this time. If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.” 

Felicia was moved to tears. She held Lucy’s hands and expressed her gratitude. 

“Mrs. Felicia, we’re all good friends. You don’t have to be so 

polite. How about this? Your clothes are wet. Go change into a new set of clothes first,” Lucy said with a smile. 

Felicia had been splashed with wine by Mike just now. Her hair was wet, and her clothes were wet, too. She looked especially awkward. 

“I’m fine.” Felicia smiled. 

“No, you must take care of your health at your age. I have a set of clean clothes for my mother in my car. I’ll bring you to change into them.” 

Lucy was warm and generous. She pulled Felicia back to her car, chased the driver out, and changed Felicia’s clothes. 

Soon, Felicia changed into a set of beautiful, high-end, and fashionable clothes and got out of the car. 

Her hair had also been dried to a certain extent and was no longer wet. 

In the past eight years, Felicia had suffered a lot. She was thin and her skin was sallow. 

No matter how good-looking her clothes were, they could not hide how much she had suffered. 

Felicia had obviously never worn such high-end clothes before. She was especially reserved and walked carefully, afraid that she would dirty her clothes. 

She even repeatedly promised that she would return the clothes to Lucy after she washed them the next day. She looked incomparably humble. 

Lucy generously gave it to Felicia. 

“No, Miss Zabel, this dress is so high-end. It’s not suitable for me to wear. Besides, I don’t deserve such an expensive gift,” 

Felicia said. 

Looking at his mother’s white-haired and humble 

appearance, Haylan felt very upset. His hatred for Declan deepened. 

“Mrs. Felicia, you look quite good in this outfit. You have a great temperament,” Simon praised. 

Haylan pulled Felicia to the food stall. He clapped his hands and said, “All employees gather here!” 

When the staff heard that, they immediately walked over and looked at Haylan with fear in their eyes. 

“From today onward, my mother will be the boss of this food stall. This is her first time being a boss. You can’t bully her!” 

Haylan glanced at them and said in a deep voice, “However, as long as you work hard, the business here will definitely be booming. At that time, you will definitely benefit. 

“Do you understand?” 

“Yes!” The employees immediately nodded. 

What a joke. Haylan could even kick Leo’s cousin away. How could they dare to bully Haylan’s mother? 

“Mom, what do you want to say?” Haylan asked. 

Felicia looked at so many people and was not used to it. Moreover, she was a little timid. Her face was red and her heart was beating rapidly. She was extremely nervous. 

She had always been a worker. Now that she had suddenly become a boss, she could not adapt to such a scene at all. She opened her mouth and stammered a few words. 

If it weren’t for Haylan, she would not have been able to 

control the situation. 

After speaking, Felicia hurriedly pulled Haylan aside. She stared at Haylan worriedly and said, “Haylan, tell me. Why do you have 400 thousand dollars? How did you earn it?” 

Her eyes were still filled with worry. She was afraid that Haylan would do something wrong again and take the wrong path. 

That was 400 thousand dollars. It was money that she could not earn even after working for eight years. How could she not be worried when Haylan suddenly got so much money? 

Haylan looked at her and said seriously, “Mom, if I told you that I have 20 million dollars, would you believe me?” 

Felicia’s expression changed drastically. She hurriedly grabbed Haylan’s hand and said with a pale face, “Son, I have a weak heart. Don’t scare me. Were you tricked into doing something bad? Did you rob the money? How did you get it? 

“Follow my words. Don’t fool around with some shady people anymore. Let’s work hard, okay?” 

20 million dollars! 

She had never thought that she would have so much money. She subconsciously thought that Haylan had done something bad again. 

“I earned it,” Haylan said. 

“You’re lying again. How can a normal person earn so much money in eight years?” Felicia clearly did not believe him. 

Haylan’s heart ached when he saw how nervous Felicia was. 

His mother lived at the bottom of society all year round and did not know how vast the world was. She did not know that 

there were all kinds of ways to earn money, either. When she heard that there was so much money, she was certain that he had robbed or stolen it. 

Poverty limited his mother’s imagination! 

With his current identity as the Mercenary King, so many people wanted to ask for his help. They offered him either oil fields or gold mines. Those things were all worth tens of millions of dollars.
