The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557 

“You’re treating us to a meal?” | 

The five disabled people obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. They turned around and looked at Haylan in 

disbelief. 

Even the beggar, who had no eyes, looked at Haylan with those empty eyes. 

They walked to many places and wanted to eat something, but because they didn’t have money in their pockets, many bosses treated them as beggars and scammers and chased them out. 

Even if they asked for help from passers-by, no one was willing to pay attention to them. 

There were also many passers-by who treated them as traffickers, avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and quickly left. 

There were even some passers-by who spoke ill of them. 

In a word, along the way, only Haylan was particularly friendly to them. 

“That’s right. Come and eat. Haylan waved 

“Young man, these five people are obviously swindlers. Why do you have to spend money on them? Be careful that they will follow you all the time in the future,” the restaurant owner quickly reminded Haylan. 

“Yes. Sir, we should be cruel to bad people. Otherwise, if we are targeted by them because we are soft-hearted, the consequences will be unimaginable, the waiter also persuaded. 

“Young man, it’s right to be kind-hearted, but most of these disabled people probably work with some dark gangs. You have to be wary of them.” 

“This society is too complicated now. You have to be careful.” 

“Young man, don’t be fooled.” 

Many people who were eating breakfast in the restaurant also spoke up to persuade Haylan. They all felt that the five beggars were liars and were cautious. They were especially defensive and vigilant against the five beggars. 

Seeing that Haylan wanted to help those five people, they kindly persuaded Haylan. 

“Everyone. I know what you’re worried about, but you don’t have to worry. These five sirs are definitely good people.” Haylan glanced at everyone present and then looked at the boss “Boss, I’ve paid. Just prepare the pasta.” 

Haylan was a mercenary and was active in extraterritorial battlefields all year round. He was used to seeing many veterans. who had retired from the battlefield. 

Those veterans were all disabled people. Without anyone to take care of them, they could only live with a meager salary. There were even some mercenaries who would suffer the revenge of their former enemies after they retired. Some died and some were injured. 

These five beggars in ragged clothes were obviously veterans. It could be seen from their movements and expressions. However, compared to the rough mercenaries, these five warriors were much more polite. It was obvious that they had been staying in a disciplined team and would not do anything overboard to the commoners. 

Even though they were mocked by the boss and so many people, they did not fly into a rage and use their connections to suppress the boss. 

Either they were bound by the orders of their superiors, or they were kind-hearted people to begin with and could not bear to bully the people. 

Haylan was more inclined to the latter. 

Haylan walked up to the five beggars and shook their hands warmly. “Sirs, don’t be in a hurry to leave. My treat. Sit down and eat slowly.” 

With that, Haylan forcibly pulled the five people to his table and made them sit down. 

When the boss and the other guests saw this scene, they were very helpless. They could only shake their heads and ignore it. 

“I can’t help him…” The waiter also sighed and turned around to get busy, 

In their opinion, Haylan’s actions were completely inviting trouble. He would definitely be targeted in the future and was destined to pay the price. 

The others shook their heads successively, and they didn’t speak any longer. 

In their opinion, Haylan was destined to not have a good ending if he formed a relationship with these five people. Haylan did not care about their chatter. He only sized up the five beggars and tald with concern, Sirs, you must have just

retired from the battlefield, right? Which unit are you from?” 

When the five people heard Haylan’s words, their expressions changed as they stared fixedly at Haylan. 

These fierce gazes seemed to want to kill. 

Even the person without eyes had a murderous look on his face, 

Haylan was stunned. Then, he immediately understood that he had been rude. He quickly smiled and explained, “Alright. I won’t ask anymore. You’ve sacrificed too much for this country. I respect you from the bottom of my heart.” 

It was a very vigilant thing for strangers to inquire about military intelligence. 

These five people were clearly warriors who had participated in the war for many years. Or they wouldn’t have been so angry at Haylan’s words. 

“Young man, we’re just a group of pitiful people. You don’t have to inquire about our background,” the blind veteran said. 

Speaking of this, the other four people’s expressions became incomparably gloomy, and they were silent. 

Haylan looked at the five of them and immediately understood. 

These people should have been abandoned. 

Many times, in order to save unnecessary expenses and preserve elite forces, some mercenary groups would often give up a group of people. 

The worst thing was that after they were abandoned, those mercenaries could not receive the corresponding salary. They dragged their disabled bodies and lived a poor life that was inferior to ordinary people’s. 

However, Haylan did not know if these five people were Steve’s subordinates or the other mercenaries who had gone to war for the country. 

all, when Steve swept through many countries in the Longhard Kingdom border, many patriots of the mercenary groups spontaneously participated in that battle.
