The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 734

Chapter 734

Joe panicked when he met Ockham’s cold gaze. Perspiring and his back drenched in a cold sweat, Joe could feel his heart thumping wildly.

Joe knew it was over for him.

Everything was over for him.

Joe knew he was doomed if Ockham found out he had been bribed. He also knew he faced the possibility of being jailed for bribery.

He quickly thought of something and explained, “Mr. Ockham, it’s a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding. Haylan said this so that I’ll release‘ him.”

While escorting Haylan back, Joe stopped by the bank and wrote a check for more than 200 thousand dollars to be transferred into his account.

Joe knew he was finished if Ockham were to investigate.

As he explained, Joe quickly bent down to pick up the key and smiled at Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, I’ll unlock your handcuffs for

you now.”

After saying that, Joe quickly walked to Haylan and personally unlocked Haylan’s handcuffs. As he opened the handcuffs, Joe whispered, “Mr. Jaber, I’ll agree to your conditions. Don’t tell anyone about what I did, okay?”

Joe was panicking now.

He knew Ockham would pursue the matter to the end if Haylan insisted.

Even if Ockham did not pursue the matter, Joe would never feel at peace in this lifetime with Ockham having dirt about him.

For now, Joe only wanted to ensure Haylan would not reveal his secrets. He would make his other plans later.

“I told you you’ll regret it. Do you believe me now?” Haylan asked.

Joe’s expression turned even uglier.

Not only did Joe regret his decision, he desperately wished he could turn back time.

He would never have dared treat Haylan the way he had if he had known Haylan was related to Ockham.

“Shit! Bernard, I’m in this mess because of you!” Joe silently cursed in his heart.

Outwardly, however, he smiled as he answered Haylan, “Of course. Yes, I believe you. I believe you now.

“So, can you please be magnanimous and let me off?”
