Chapter 585
When Zealon Xydia, Carlo Monde, and the rest saw how laid back Haylan Jaber was, their eyes suddenly turned icy. This place was their territory, and Haylan was already their prisoner.
Yet, Haylan was still so calm in the prison. He even ordered them around, making all of them feel that they were being looked down on.
Carlo shed all pretense of cordiality outright and said icily. “Jaber, we have extended you courtesy outside earlier, but now that you’re in our territory, you’re a prisoner!
“Now, you’re not qualified to speak to us as equals.
“Wait here obediently for us to begin interrogation“”
At this moment, Carlo’s attitude was no longer as servile and fearful as before. He had become extremely arrogant and tyrannical as he berated Haylan loudly.
Haylan looked at him and burst out laughing involuntarily.
Wasn’t this person too impatient?
His attitude changed the moment Haylan was locked up?
Haylan had expected these people to fall out with him, but he did not expect them to fall out so quickly. Thus, he could not help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at? This is a military prison. You’d better be more serious. Otherwise, we have a hundred ways to punish you!” Carlo said aggressively.
Haylan laughed even more merrily. “Oh, really? I’d like to see what ways you have.“
“You think that we can’t do anything to you, is that it?” Carlo’s eyes turned even more chilly.
He had been slapped by Xander Zoran at the premises of the Mapleturz Group. Now, his face was still burning with pain. He felt that he had lost all his dignity.
In Carlo’s view, all of this was Haylan’s fault. It was Haylan who directed Xander to treat him like this.
Now that he saw Haylan being locked up in prison, the fury of vengeance burned fiercely in his heart. He couldn’t wait to teach Haylan a lesson immediately and give vent to his anger.
Haylan still remained calm. He glanced at Carlo and Zealon and said nonchalantly, “Let me tell you. I still have a lunch appointment in the afternoon. I don’t have time to play with you guys.
“If your leader doesn’t come in an hour and a half, I’ll take my leave.”
With that, he took out his cell phone and called Xander. “Xander, have you helped the injured get treated?”
“Haylan, don’t worry. Everyone’s out of danger now.”
“Good. Remember to give them the healing medicine.”
“No problem, Haylan. When are you coming back?”
“When I’m done. I should probably be back in two hours.”
Haylan stood in the prison cell with a calm expression as he gave instructions to Xander and the rest.
This small lousy prison could not hold him at all.
As long as he wanted to, Haylan could leave this small room at any time.
In any case, since he was already here, he might as well take it that he was on vacation.
Carlo stared at Haylan from outside and became downright furious at once. He roared at Haylan, “This is a military prison. It’s not a place for you to chat!
“Now that you’re a suspect, we have the right to confiscate all your communication tools. Hand over your cell phone immediately.”
Zealon and the others also felt humiliated when they saw Haylan’s behavior.
This was their territory, a place controlled by the Silver Panzer Corps!
Haylan Jaber was a criminal suspect that they had “invited here, yet he was able to behave in such a carefree manner in their territory. Not surprisingly, it made them feel very uncomfortable.
Zealon was more shrewd and also knew how powerful Haylan was.
Therefore, no matter how much Haylan talked on the phone in that calm manner, Zealon pretended not to see it and

remained silent.
In any case, he had no enmity with Haylan. There was no need for him to make things difficult for Haylan. It was best for Zealon to protect himself.
However, Carlo was different. He had been beaten up by Xander before and now he transferred his anger to Haylan. He wanted to regain his dignity, so he ranted and raved, displaying an extremely obnoxious and arrogant attitude.
Haylan glanced at Carlo and said calmly, “Let me make this clear upfront. I am not a criminal suspect.
“Besides, you guys don’t have any law enforcement powers over me, nor do you have an arrest warrant for me. I’m only here to prove my innocence.
“Therefore, before you produce evidence of my crime, I still have the right to speak to outsiders.”
“I don’t give a damn about your rights. Here, I am the law! Are you handing it over or not?” Carlo spoke icily with an overbearing attitude.
“What if I refuse?” Haylan asked.
“Fine. Then you’re deliberately not cooperating. The suspicion on you is now stronger. According to the law, I have the right to execute you!” Carlo said with a frosty expression.
Haylan’s expression was calm as he ended the call with Xander. He extended his hand and placed his cell phone by the bars of the cell. He then said calmly, “If you want it, then come over.”
Carlo’s gaze was menacing as he walked forward.
Zealon quickly pulled him back and said in a deep voice, “Be careful. It might be a trap.
In his impression, Haylan was not someone who compromised easily.
Now that Haylan had handed over his cell phone so quickly, it was obviously a trap.
“So what if it’s a trap?”
Carlo’s eyes were icy and he looked smug. He said in a low voice, “This is the territory of the Tigris Insignia Army. It’s my exclusive territory. I don’t believe that he can cause any trouble after being locked up.”
With that, Carlo walked forward and grabbed the cell phone in Haylan’s hand, intending to yank it out of his hand.
At this moment, Haylan quickly grabbed Carlo’s hand and tightened his grip abruptly.
Carlo immediately felt a burning pain in his palm and his bones felt as if they were about to shatter. It was so painful that his face became twisted in pain, and his expression became extremely unsightly.
Haylan looked at Carlo indifferently, his face totally devoid of expression. “It’s not that easy to take something from me. “It really depends on your ability, Mr. Monde.”
