The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573 

Zealon’s gaze was solemn and filled with worry. 

It would be fine if Haylan wasn’t one of the ten Demigods. 

However, if Haylan was really one of the ten mysterious Demigods, and if Mackaye sought revenge against him, it could escalate into something big and potentially affect Steve’s ascension to the throne! 

Mackaye’s gaze turned cold. “Zealon, do you think I shouldn’t stand up for my son?” 

Zealon trembled and hurriedly said, “Commander Shilton, that’s not what I meant.” 

“Then what do you mean? Should I let others undermine my prestige and diminish my authority? Do you think I can’t handle a mere civilian?” Mackaye stared coldly at Zealon. 

Cold sweat instantly trickled down Zealon’s forehead. His expression became grave, and his mouth hung open. He couldn’t utter a single word. 

He had worked for Mackaye for a long time and knew Mackaye was a bona fide tyrant. Seeing his son being bullied like this undoubtedly ignited his fury. 

However, Mackaye was still restraining himself. He tried to remain calm and refrain from exploding in anger, but the fire raging within him was like a volcano on the verge of eruption. 

The consequences would be unimaginable if anyone were to confront him right now 

Facing Mackaye’s icy and piercing gaze, Zealon quickly changed his tone, saying, “Commander Shilton, you are wise. I also believe it’s impossible for Haylan to become a god–class expert in just eight short years.” 

“Yes, yes. It’s impossible for that to happen!” 

“Commander Shilton is wise!” 

Many personnel from the intelligence department nod in agreement, not daring to defy. 

“Commander Shilton, please think carefully about it.” 

At this moment, a young and impulsive individual stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice, “Based on the information displayed, Haylan Jaber’s true strength is unfathomable. He could very well be one of the ten Demigods.” 

“If we rashly act against him without confirming his identity, the consequences would be unimaginable!” 

Silence fell upon the entire room when he said that. 

Zealon and many others look at the impulsive guy with sympathetic eyes. 

This person’s name was Zyler Yates. He was an intelligence officer who was transferred from Ulinas to Silver Panzer Corps last month. He was rather naive and couldn’t think outside the box 

Mackaye’s eyes turned icy as he stared at Zyler and said, “So, what do you think I should do?” 

“I believe we must consult Demigod Sky on this matter. It would be best for Demigod Sky to make a decision to avoid affecting the coronation ceremony!” 

Zyler remained oblivious to the fact that he had angered Mackaye. He continued speaking. “Even if Haylan is not one of the ten Demigods, we should not underestimate his companion, Xander!” 

“If we act recklessly, we might get into trouble!” 

Before he could finish speaking, Mackaye suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost. He stared at Zyler with terrifying killing intent. 

Zyler instantly felt an overwhelming pressure. He felt goosebumps creeping up on him, and his heart ached as if it got pierced by a blade. The pain was excruciating. 

At the same time, he felt a strong sense of danger. 

“Danger!” 

“I have to run!” 

Such thoughts flashed through Zyler’s mind. 

Boom! 

However, before Zyler could react, Mackaye had already seized Zyler’s head with his enormous palms. He then slammed Zyler’s head into the wall. 

The powerful force shattered the sturdy surface of the wall. 

Zyler’s head was battered, and blood streamed down his face. His eyes rolled back as he lost consciousness. The sight was

Chapter 373 horrifying 

Witnessing the scene, Zealon and the other intelligence personnel couldn’t help but shiver and feel a chill down their spines. 

Mackaye was like a bomb that would explode at any time! 

Although Mackaye was not a Sovereign yet, he was still the commander of the Silver Panzer Corps. He was known for his fierce temperament and was nicknamed Tyrant. 

Other than Demigod Sky, no matter who it was, as long as they provoked him, he would retaliate mercilessly. At best, he would cripple them, and at worst, he would directly kill them. 

Even if they were allies, they were not exempt from his wrath! 

Zyler had just arrived from Ulinas. He still carried the arrogance of the Ulinas noble families. That was why he dared to voice his opinion. 

Like an enraged beast, Mackaye glared at the crowd. His eyes were cold and angry. “Now, does anyone have any objections?” 

Zealon and the others lowered their heads, not daring to speak. 

“If no one says anything, it means no one has any objections!” 

Mackaye’s gaze was as sharp as a blade as he said in a deep voice, Zealon, take my Tiger talisman and dispatch the Tigris Insignia Army to Mapleturz Group. I want to destroy this corporation!” 

“Also, bring Haylan Jaber back. I want to interrogate him personally!” 

“Anyone who dares to resist will be mercilessly killed!” 

After speaking, he took out his Tiger talisman and tossed it to Zealon. 

“Yes!” 

Zealon respectfully received the talisman and immediately turned to leave. 

The other intelligence personnel quickly followed suit. 

Once outside the door, one of the intelligence officers approached Zealon Xydia, his expression grave and concerned. “Mr. Xydia, we are just intelligence officers. Can we really shut down the Mapleturz Group? As far as I know, Commander Shilton is exceeding his authority!” 

“The Tigris Insignia Army is a combat unit. The higher–ups would definitely carry out an investigation if we dispatched them. By that time, we might be in serious trouble.” 

“Mr. Xydia, what should we do now?” 

Other intelligence officers nodded in agreement and expressed their worries. 

Mackaye was only the leader of the military department. He did not have the authority to shut down a corporation. If they were to proceed, their enemies could use it against them. It could result in severe consequences such as execution. 

‘You don’t have to worry about this. I will handle the arrangements to make our actions appear legal. In any case, Commander Shilton has given the order, and we cannot refuse. Zealon said. 

The other intelligence officers looked at each other in confusion
