The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 

Seward stared at Haylan coldly. “Who exactly are you?” 

“I’m Haylan Jaber, Reign’s personal bodyguard, Haylan said calmly. 

“Haylan Jaber?” Seward frowned. 

He searched hard for the name in his mind and finally came to the conclusion that he had never heard of such a name. 

From his recollection, he could not recall a seven-star expert fighter named Haylan. 

However, he knew who Reign was. She was the most wealthy woman in Lightdom City. She was famous throughout the country and was most definitely a very powerful person. 

“How did Reign find such an expert fighter?! Seward wondered. 

He originally wanted to make the first move and teach Haylan a lesson. 

Now that he saw how powerful Haylan was, he hesitated. He felt some apprehension. 

“Seward, stop talking. He beat me up so badly. We have to kill him so the Zabel family won’t be humiliated, Horace urged. 

“You are so annoying.” Haylan’s eyes darkened as he flicked his finger. 

A silver needle flew swiftly like lightning and stabbed Horace’s tute point. 

In an instant, Horace was rendered speechless. Although his mouth was wide open, no sound came out when he tried to speak 

Horace countenance turned grave. He could only clutch his throat in shock. 

“What’s going on? Why can’t I talk?” Horace thought. 

He tried to ask Seward for help. 

A glimmer of panic flickered in Horace’s gaze as he looked at Seward. 

Seward met Haylan with a cold, distant intensity. “What did you do to him?” 

“Don’t worry. I only made him shut up” 

Haylan remained unfazed and replied, “Ms. Labenz is currently undergoing treatment. She cannot be disturbed. Please leave immediately” 

“We have not settled our scores,” Seward roared coldly. 

“Do you still want to settle our scores?” 

A coldness emanated from Haylan’s gaze. He said loudly. “All right then, I’ll settle the score with you now. 

“Firstly, Horace sent someone to put poison in our room. As a result, Ms. Labenz has been poisoned and passed out. If I hadn’t saved her in time, I don’t know what might happen to her. 

“Secondly, the Zabel family is the one who invited us to this gathering on the ship. Ms. Labenz was invited to the gathering, and look what happened to her. You have to be responsible. 

“Thirdly, after Ms. Labenz was poisoned, I asked the doctor on the ship to treat her immediately. However, the doctor wanted to chase the female doctor, the nurses, and me away, leaving Ms. Labenz alone in the room. It was clear that he harbored bad intentions. 

“He is such a vicious man who uses underhand means to get what he wants. 

“Seward, I can tell that you are a very strong fighter. You must be very highly regarded in the Zabel family. Tell me, who should be responsible for this incident? 

“How are we going to settle the score now that Ms. Labenz has been poisoned?” 

Haylan spoke in a very assertive manner. 

“Is it true that Ms. Labenz was poisoned on the ship of the Zabel family?” 

When Seward heard this, his expression changed slightly. He turned around and glared at Horace. ‘Did you do this?” 

Seward was aware that Horace was a frivolous playboy who was capable of such a thing. 

If news of this incident were to spread, the consequences would be dire. 

The Zabel family’s reputation would be greatly affected. 

Horace opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he could not say a word. 

Haylan flicked another silver needle and stabbed Horace’s acupoint. 

When Horace felt that he could now speak, he protested angrily, “Seward, don’t listen to him. He’s slandering me. I’ve never done such a thing. If you don’t believe me, ask him to show you evidence.” 

When Seward heard this, he looked at Haylan. “What evidence do you have that Horace is the culprit?”
