The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 454

Chapter 454 

This was particularly so for Reign and Scarlett. They were downright dumbfounded. 

At that moment earlier, they all thought that Haylan and Silver Fox were really going to turn against each other and start bighting. 

After hearing the conversation between Haylan and Silver Fox, everyone became even more bewildered. 

Wasn’t their acting too realistic? 

They had already drawn their weapons and were pointing them at each other’s throats! 

In the end, it was just an act? 

Almost instantly, everyone felt that he had been deceived. They were absolutely furious as they glared at Haylan and Silver Fox. 

Haylan totally ignored the gazes of the other people. He held his saber and stared at Buckminster Payne. “Since you’ve seen through our act, there’s nothing else to say. Show me your true abilities” 

With that, he stepped forward again and walked towards Buckminster. 

Buckminster laughed imperiously and bellowed with a ferocious expression, “Hahaha! You want to let me off, but I won’t let you off 

“Haylan Jaber, I’m going to kill you!” 

With that, Buckminster took out a miniature remote control. 

“What’s that?” Silver Fox’s expression changed at once. 

Buckminster said with a sinister smile, “Don’t tell me you guys are naive enough to think that I’m only doing this for money? 1 planted bombs on the ship. At first, I wanted to blow up the ship after getting all the money! I wanted to destroy the corpses to eliminate all clues 

“You guys want to kill me? No way! 

“Haylan Jaber, you ruined my plans and blocked my path to wealth. That is as good as taking my life. 

“Haylan Jaber, you’d better stop moving forward. The moment you take a step forward, I’ll activate the switch. We’ll die Together!” 

When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale with shock. 

“Mr. Payne, calm down. Don’t activate anything” 

“Mr. Payne, we can discuss how much money you want. Let’s talk things over. Don’t be so impulsive.” 

“Yes, yes, yes. Calm down. We’ll give you all the money you want.” 

All the tycoons present panicked and hurriedly emerged from their luding places, expressing their willingness to hand over their money. 

It was not easy for them to escape the earlier calamity. If they lost their lives because of Haylan Jaber, the consequences would be unimaginable. 

When he looked at the panic-stricken, fearful, and worried expressions of those rich tycoons. Buckminster could not resist laughing in a sinister manner. 

He loved to see the terrified and worried expressions of those high and mighty rich tycoons. This made him feel especially satisfied as if he was an emperor who ruled over everything! 

These tycoons were just livestock that Buckminster had fenced up for breeding! 

As long as he needed to, he could slaughter them whenever he wanted! 

Thump! 

Without another word, Haylan took another step forward. 

“Haylan Jaber, you still dare to move forward? Do you believe that Ill activate the switch now and we’ll perish together?” Buckminster said with a frown. 

Haylan gave a scornful sneer. “You can give it a try!” 

“Fine, Haylan Jaber. If you want to die, I shall fulfill your wish!” 

Buckminster’s gaze was chilly. He picked up the remote control and prepared to perish with Haylan. 

“Don’t activate anymore. I’m telling you we’ve already defused those bombs of yours.” 

Scarlett stepped forward and tossed out one defused bomb 

The bomb rolled and came to a stop at Buckminster’s feet. 

Buckminster looked at the bomb that had its fuse removed. His eyes widened abruptly and his expression changed 

numerous times 

This was the bomb that their mercenary group had set up! 

Yet it was defused and removed? 

How was thus possible? 

How did Haylan Jaber defuse those bombs? 

You 

Suddenly. Buckminster s expression changed drastically. He then said loudly. “I see. Haylan Jaber, the reason you told us so much just now and even wanted to make a bet with my subordinates is to stall for time? So that your people can defuse the bombs and kill every one of our people!” 

“You’re right!” 

Haylan nodded and took another step forward. He approached Buckminster and said icily, “You’re also stalling for time by asking me how I changed the cards, right? 

Unfortunately, your attempt to delay gave us just the right amount of time. It gave the people I have stationed outside more time to defuse those bombs you left behind.” 

When Buckminster heard this, his expression changed again. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Haylan 

agam! 

“Bastard Haylan Jaber. Im going to kill you!” 

Buckminster was unable to restrain his anger anymore. His voice was like thunder, and the veins on his forehead bulged violently 

He roared with fury and charged out to fight Haylan to the death 

Swoosh! 

However, before Buckminster could do anything, his vision blurred and Haylan appeared in front of him like a phantom. Swoosh 

A saber beam flashed past! 

Buckminster’s arm that was holding the remote control was sliced off at the shoulder, leaving a wound dripping with blood. Haylan struck even faster. He moved swiftly and grabbed the remote control with his hand. 

“Haylan Jaber, you… you tricked me again!” 

Buckminster couldn’t even be bothered about the pain in his arm. Instead, he widened his eyes and glared at Haylan in fury At this moment, he realized something again! 

What Haylan said just now were all lies! 

In fact, Haylan had not defused all the bombs at all. Otherwise, why would Haylan snatch his remote control at the first available opportunity? 

Pow! 

Before Buckminster could speak, Haylan had already sent him flying more than 15 feet away with a kick. When Haylan struck again, he even added, “Silver Fox, he’s yours now.” 

Whoosh! 

Before Haylan had finished his sentence, Silver Fox had already shot out the dagger in her hand. 

The dagger was as fast as lightning as it stabbed into Buckminster’s right shoulder. 

Following that, Silver Fox’s figure darted past Haylan in a flash and arrived in front of Buckminster. 

“Im going to kill you!” 

Silver Fox’s eyes were bloodshot and she was downright furious. The dagger in her hand radiated with an incredibly terrifying blade light. 

Thousands of beams of blade light slashed viciously at Buckminster’s body.
