The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492 

Haylan’s gaze was cold and sharp as he stared at Philip. 

Haylan’s voice was also extremely cold, making one shudder. It was almost as if Satan’s voice had floated out of hell. 

Under Haylan’s gaze. Philip was a little nervous, feeling uneasy. 

“Swan Cruise… how did he know that I was involved in that matter? 

“That involved the terrifying Bloody Devil. I discussed the deal with Bloody Devil privately with Fletcher. Even 

Buckminster doesn’t know about it. How could Haylan be so sure about this?” Philip thought. 

Philip’s mind raced. He was terrified but he pretended to be calm, showing no change in his expression. Philip said in a deep. voice, Haylan, I don’t know what you’re talking about. 

“Tm the vice president of the Mapleturz Group. This is my office. You’re not welcome here. Get out!TM 

“So, you’re not going to give me an explanation, right?” Haylan said coldly. 

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about!” Philip said. 

Haylan’s gaze was cold. In a quick motion, Haylan slapped Philip, who fell off his chair and onto the ground. 

Philip’s teeth were broken, his mouth was full of blood, and his head was buzzing. 

After falling to the ground, Philip felt dizzy, his cheek seared with pain, and his vision had turned black, causing him to be unable to see anything 

Following the loud sound, many people looked over. 

When they saw Philip being beaten, everyone was dumbfounded. 

Philip Labenz was Mapleturz Group’s vice president. He had a high position and was second only to one person. Philip controlled many shares of Mapleturz Group. Collectively, his power was enough to rival the CEO, Reign Labenz.. 

Philip had always been a powerful existence in the company, and even Reign did not dare to refute his opinions easily. 

Now, such a person was knocked to the ground by Haylan Jaber, a mere security department head? 

“Haylan Jaber, you bastard! How dare you attack Mr. Labenz! He’s the vice president and your superior!” David got to his feet and glared at Haylan, even pouncing toward Haylan. 

There was no change in Haylan’s expression, and he hit David again David flew backward, falling to the ground beside Philip 

Philip had just regained his senses and opened his eyes when he saw David, who had landed in front of him. David had a badly bruised face, and Philip was furious, standing and angrily saying, “Haylan Jaber, how dare you! L..” 

Before Philip could finish speaking, Haylan slapped him hard again. 

Haylan did not use a lot of strength for this particular slap. It only left a red palm print on Philip’s face but did not cause much damage. 

“Fuck!” Philip was now even angrier. 

Just as he was about to fly into a rage, Philip raised his head and saw Haylan’s gaze, sharp as knives, a murderous look in his eyes. Philip immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest. 

Haylan’s gaze was too terrifying! 

With just one look, Haylan forced Philip to swallow the rest of what he wanted to say, only one question escaping his lips. “Haylan, you… what exactly do you want?” 

“I want an explanation. Why did you hire someone to kill me?” Haylan asked coldly. 

+ 

“What? Hire someone to kill him? Mr. Labenz did such a thing?” 

That’s impossible, right? Why would someone as high and mighty as Mr. Labenz want to kill Haylan?” 

“Yes, it’s obvious that Haylan is spreading rumors. He’s just the head of the security department. Why would Mr. Labenz bother with him?* 

“That’s right. It must be Haylan who spread the rumors. He hit Mr. Labenz, and he’s afraid that Mr. Labenz would hold him accountable for this. That’s why he’s blaming Mr. Labenz!” 

“Yes, yes. That must be it!” 

Outside the door, the onlookers watched what was happening, looking at Haylan with disdain, saying all kinds of nasty things. They all felt that Haylan was being unreasonable. 

Wheir Philip heard Haylan’s words, he was extremely flustered. However, after hearing what the onlaakers had to say, Philip 

immediately returned to his senses and angrily said, “Haylan Jaber, don’t accuse me of things I didn’t do! Do you have any evidence that I hired someone to kill you?” 

Philip even turned the tables around and distorted the truth. Tm warning you. If you can’t produce evidence, I’ll call the police to arrest you and sue you for slander!” 

“Yes, you said that Mr. Labenz hired someone to kill you. Then show us the evidence.” David also stood behind Philip and shouted. 

“You want evidence? Alright, I’ll give you evidence.” 

Haylan took out his phone and pulled up a video, placing it in front of Philip. 

The video showed Philip walking along the street. 

When Philip saw this, his pupils constricted suddenly, and he was shocked. 

Philip was the only one in the video. Others might not be able to know the hidden meaning of this video, but Philip knew very well that this was a video of him on his way to meet Fletcher. 

Philip stared at Haylan with an upset expression. 

What the hell was going on? 

When did Haylan take such a video of him going for a secret meeting with Fletcher? 

David let out a short laugh. “You’re trying to slander Mr. Labenz with just a video? Haylan, I think you’re..” 

‘David shut up! Philip scolded. 

Philip knew very well what the second half of the video would show. If this video continued playing, it would show his meeting with Fletcher and even his conversation with Fletcher might be revealed. 

If David spouted nonsense and Haylan played the entire video, the consequences would be unimaginable. 

Philip glared at Haylan and blocked Haylan’s phone with one hand. Philip said in a deep voice, “Haylan, what explanation do you want? 

“Explain. Why do you want to kill me? Haylan asked. 

Philip’s eyes darkened. “I can’t explain this. I didn’t do this. You…” 

Before Philip could finish, Haylan slapped the other side of his face. 

These two slaps made both sides of Philip’s face turn red and burn with pain.

“You… Philip was furious.
