The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407 

Seward’s demeanor was insistent and adamant. He stared at Haylan coldly. 

Even though he knew Horace was very likely the culprit, he still had to find the evidence. 

He was still hopeful when he instructed his men to look for the evidence. He thought, “Horace, you’d better made sure you leave no clues behind. Don’t let anyone catch you red-handed.” 

Horace was beaten up so badly on board the Zabel family’s ship. If the Zabel family failed to reclaim their honor, they would face a complete loss of face in the future. 

However, if Horace was caught red-handed, the family would be even more humiliated. 

They might even be sued by Reign. 

With Reign’s influence and the Labenz family’s power, the Zabel family’s reputation would be ruined if there was a lawsuit. 

“What if we find the evidence?” Haylan asked. 

“If you manage to find the evidence, 1 will be impartial and handle this case fairly,” Seward assured Haylan 

“All right. I trust you will honor your words. I’ll wait for the results of your findings, Haylan said. 

“Okay. If I find out that you have accused Horace wrongly, don’t think you can get away with it,” Seward said coldly. 

Five minutes later, Seward’s men returned with their findings. 

They found the love potion in Reign’s room. 

According to the recording in the surveillance camera, someone had entered Reign’s room, only to walk out again. 

They even found a video of the room where the director chased everyone out. 

The barman who placed the poison in Reign’s room was also caught. Seward’s men threw him on the ground in front of Horace and Seward. 

“Tell me the truth. What happened?” Seward asked. 

When Horace saw that the barman was about to speak, anger swept over him. He was about to threaten the barman, “Let me warn you. If you dare to tell lies, I will…” 

Haylan’s gaze turned cold. He flicked his finger again and stabbed a silver needle into Horace’s mite point. 

Horace was about to warn the barman when he realized that he could not speak. 

Seward’s expression turned grim. He cast a look at Haylan. 

As Seward did not see the silver needles hidden in Haylan’s hand, he was under the impression that Haylan had used telekinesis to hit Horace’s acupoint. He was now more fearful of Haylan. 

He looked at the barman and demanded. “Tell me the truth. What happened” 

The barman’s eyes were filled with fear. He looked at Seward before turning to look at Horace. 

Despite not being able to speak, Horace continued to glare fiercely at the barman. 

The barman trembled in fear and replied, “Sir, L…” 

Ile stood there for a long time, but he could not say a word. 

“Think carefully before you speak. If someone accuses you wrongly, rest assured I will protect you. However, if you dare to spout nonsense and frame an innocent person, I won’t let you off.” Seward issued a stern warning to the barman. 

A steely glint entered ITaylan’s eyes when he heard what Seward said. 

Seward was obviously trying to protect Horace by warning the barman to watch what he was going to say. 

Although Horace could not speak, his eyes lit up when he heard Seward’s warning to the barman. He glared ferociously at 

the latter. 

The barman was so scared that his face turned pale. Trembling, he hurriedly said, “Sir, I have lost my senses and was confused. 

“I saw how beautiful Ms. Labenz was, and I harbored bad intentions toward her. Hence, I secretly placed poison in Ms. Labenz’s room. It’s all my fault. Please punish me, Sir.” 

After saying that, he fell on his knees and begged for mercy. 

“And you! You are the medical director of this ship. What have you done?” Seward asked coldly. 

The medical director was a perceptive man. He immediately understood what Seward meant and knelt on the floor. He

answered with a trembling voice, “Sir, this barman gave me a large sum of money and wanted me to create a chance for him. to get close to Ms. Labenz. 

“I was blinded by greed and committed a crime. I also tried to push the blame to Mr. Horace. It’s all my fault. I’m willing to accept any punishment.” 

After saying that, he kept bowing and confessing his crime. 

“Sir, please have mercy on me. I won’t dare to do it again.” The barman also bowed and begged for mercy. 

When Haylan heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold. 

He thought, “How sneaky. 

These people are a cunning lot.” 

Seward was an expert in distorting the truth. With a few simple questions, he had turned the tables on Haylan and pushed the blame onto these two men, absolving Horace from all wrongdoing. 

In this way, the Zabel family would not have to pay for what Horace did. 

In addition, Seward and Horace could now turn around and accuse Haylan of slandering the Zabel family. 

“You are worse than animals. How dare you do this to Ms. Labenz? Are you tired of living?” 

Seward looked furious. He kicked the two of them so hard that they were flung off the ground and vomited blood. Both of them were gasping for breath and could not speak at all. 

“Men, take them away. When the ship docks, send them to the authorities to be punished!” Seward shouted angrily. 

Hearing him, some of the Zabel family’s bodyguards immediately walked over and arrested the barman and the medical director. They tied both of them up before taking them away. 

Thereafter, Seward turned around and apologized to Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, I’m really sorry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t discipline them well and allowed them to hurt Ms. Labenz.
