The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 558

Chapter 558 

Veterans risked their lives at the borders and extraterritorial battlefields to protect the country and its dignity. 

Even if it was only mercenaries, and they were not officially part of the troops, they had once sacrificed their lives for this 

country. 

Now that they had returned to the country with serious injuries, they did not receive any subsidies. Instead, they wanted others but not themselves to have the pasta and could not even bear to eat it. 

Such a group of cute people had fallen into such a state. 

For a moment, Haylan’s heart was filled with sorrow. His eyes turned red, and he did not know what to say. 

At this moment, the waiter brought over the remaining pasta one after another and placed it in front of these people. 

“Sirs, here are two portions of pasta for each person. There’s no need to make way. Everyone has two,” said Haylan. 

“Thank you, young man.” 

The five of them nodded at Haylan in unison. Then, they immediately picked up the fork and picked up the pasta in front of 

them to eat. 

They were obviously very hungry, but they did not act rashly or wolf down the food. Instead, they ate slowly bite by bite, slowly tasting this long-lost delicacy and feeling the various flavors of the pasta echoing in their taste buds. 

“Great! It’s so delicious.” 

“It’s really a taste I haven’t tasted in a long time. I haven’t eaten it in ten years. It’s so good.” 

“It’s delicious.” 

The five veterans sighed as they ate. 

This was especially true for the veteran who only had one hand and one foot. It was especially difficult for him to eat, but his face was also filled with a blissful smile. 

As they ate, their eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed uncontrollably. They began to sob silently. 

Haylan did not say anything. He silently took out tissues and handed them to the five of them. He even very gently and considerately stuffed the tissues into the blind veteran’s hand so that the veteran could wipe his tears himself. 

Just now, Haylan had already observed that although the old soldier’s eyes were gone, his tear ducts were still there. He could cry. 

Seeing them cry. Haylan felt terrible. He quickly took out his phone and sent a few messages. 

To be honest, Haylan had thought about his future before. 

If one day, Haylan also encountered an invincible enemy and was beaten black and blue, or one of his arms or legs were broken, he would become disabled. 

Then, how should Haylan spend the rest of his life? 

There was no answer. 

Haylan did not dare to think about it. 

Therefore, Haylan spared no effort in every battle. He used all his strength to fight. He had never underestimated any enemy. He would formulate two to three plans to deal with anyone. 

Especially when facing some of the stronger experts, other than formulating two or three ways to defeat the enemy, Haylan would also formulate no less than ten escape plans to ensure that his life would not be in danger. 

Now that Haylan saw these veterans, other than sympathy, he also felt a sense of relief. 

If Haylan had not been so careful back then, he would probably have ended up like this. 

However, although Haylan was not crippled, he suffered considerable injuries as a result. 

The wounds all over Haylan’s body were his medals. 

Haylan deliberately kept these wounds and did not remove them because he wanted to use them to remind himself that no matter what enemy he would face in the future, he could not let his guard down. 

These veterans slowly tasted the pasta and ate happily. 

However, it was obvious that they had been hungry for too long. Even after eating two portions of pasta, they were still not satisfied. Clearly, they were still especially hungry. 

Without hesitation, Haylan immediately said to the boss, “Boss, get them all the specialty food in your restaurant. 

As he spoke, Haylan took out his phone and scanned the QR code to pay the boss 40 dollars. 

Spending so much money on breakfast was enough. 

Although the boss wasn’t very happy with Haylan’s action, he didn’t say much for the sake of money. He immediately prepared a lot of food for Haylan and the others. It was especially sumptuous. 

The table was filled with delicious food. 

“Well…” 

The four veterans looked at the table full of dishes and then at Haylan. Their eyes were filled with shock. 

They had only met Haylan by chance, but Haylan was so good to them that they were surprised and touched. 

“To be honest, I used to be a mercenary too. I know how hard you guys live. Maybe it’s because we were all mercenaries once, Haylan said sincerely. 

Only after being drenched in the rain did one know what it was like to be drenched. 

Now that Haylan saw the miserable state of others after being drenched in the rain, he could empathize with them and wanted to do something for them. 

“You’re also a warrior? The expressions of the five people changed when they heard this. 

“Yes,” Haylan said calmly. 

As Haylan spoke, he lifted his clothes a little and showed the bullet holes and wounds on his body to the five of them. “Well… 

When the four veterans saw this scene, their pupils constricted violently, their faces filled with disbelief. 

They thought that they were already miserable enough. Some of them had lost their arms and some had lost their feet, but they did not suffer any fatal injuries. 

But Haylan had many fatal wounds on his body. If he was not careful slightly, he would die. 

One could imagine how cruel Haylan had experienced. It might even be ten thousand times more dangerous than their 

situation. 

“In my mercenary group, there are many veterans like you who retire every year. I understand your pain very well.” Haylan’s expression was serious as he said respectfully. “You have fought for our country and experienced many bitter battles. You have shed your blood and sacrificed your lives. You are truly heroes! 

“Today, I’ll give you a toast with the coffee’s generation wine! You’re all indomitable men!”
