The Invincible Mercenary King

Chapter 54

As a Mercenary King, Haylan’s observation skills were very sharp.

After Jim exposed the money in the bag, several men who passed by looked at him with greedy and fierce eyes.

Jim’s bold actions were bound to attract the attention of some observant people.

Haylan reminded him because they were once classmates.

Jim sneered and said with disdain in his eyes. “End up in sorrow? Haha, Haylan, you should keep these words to yourself. A nouveau richer like you will lose all your money one day!”

“Go ahead and wait for your taxi. I’m going back to pay my employees their salary!”

After finishing his words, he closed the money bag and walked to a BMW 5 Series parked by the bank.

As he started walking, two fierce–looking men walked past Haylan and toward Jim with unfriendly looks.

“Jim, be careful.” Haylan frowned and hurriedly reminded him.

However, it was too late.

Bang!

Immediately after Haylan spoke, the two men covered their faces with their clothes and rushed behind Jim. They raised the sticks in their hands and ruthlessly hit the back of Jim’s head.

Jim’s head bled on the spot, and he fell to the ground. The money bag in his hand also fell to the ground.

Picking up the money bag, the two men quickly fled from the scene.

“Ahhh! My money! No!”

“Bastards, stop right there!”

Jim covered the wound on his head and shouted in despair.

Then, he stood up and chased after the two men with all his might.

However, he was injured and seldom worked out usually. He could not catch up to the two robbers at all. He could only watch in despair as they fled the scene. As he chased, he shouted, “Someone, stop them! They are robbers!”

“Come and stop me if you have the guts! Get lost!”

When the two robbers heard this, their eyes turned cold. They took fruit knives from their waists and glared at the pedestrians who wanted to stop them.

The pedestrians present were shocked and hurriedly dodged.

The two of them took the opportunity to run even further.

Watching them run further and further away, Jim was burning with anxiety. He staggered and fell on his face. His face was

covered in blood.

He got up and did not even have time to wipe the blood off his face. He watched as the two of them ran further and further away. Despair filled his eyes. He was so anxious that tears streamed down his face. Hugging his head, he cried.

It was over! This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Everything was over!

The stack of cash was very important to him. He would suffer a heavy loss if he lost them.

Just as Jim was in despair, Haylan made his move.

He slowly picked up two cans of coke from a snack shop by the street and threw them toward the robbers.

Bang! Bang!

The coke flew across the sky like lightning and hit the back of the heads of the two robbers. They fell to the ground. Feeling dizzy, they could not get up for a long time. The money bag in their hands also fell to the ground.

Haylan scanned the store’s QR code and paid for the two bottles of Coke before approaching and carrying the money bag

back.

“Damn it, you’re such a busybody! I’ll kill you!”

One of the robbers struggled to get up. With a hideous expression, he grabbed a knife and stabbed at Haylan.

Haylan remained unfazed. He kicked the robber five meters away, causing him to fall into a trash can by the street.

When the other robber saw this scene. he was frightened and ran away.

Haylan couldn’t be bothered with him. He carried the money bag and returned to Jim, who was crying. He then tossed the money bag before him and said calmly. I told you to keep your wealth low–key. You didn’t listen, and now you’re suffering”

When Jim saw the money bag, he was overjoyed. He hugged the money bag tightly on the spot and said gratefully, “Haylan. thank you. Thank you so much.”

“For the sake that you were my old classmates, I helped you this time. Next time, I won’t be able to help you. You’d better be

careful!”

Haylan glanced at Jim indifferently and left with his money bag.

Jim watched Haylan’s disappearing figure, and his heart was filled with guilt.

He had belittled Haylan just now, but Haylan still helped him. The comparison made him feel like a clown. He was nothing compared to Haylan.

“Haylan is such a nice guy, but you mistreated him, You’re simply shameless!”

Jim slapped himself hard. Then, he quickly carried the money bag and returned to his BMW, feeling extremely ashamed.

At this moment, he received a text message. A person had convened an alumni gathering and called for all high school classmates in Lightdom City to attend. The gathering would be held in three days at

Lightdom City’s Garden Hotel.

Many people responded in the high school group chat.

Right then, a female classmate with the nickname ‘Big Star Selena‘ asked in the group chat, “I heard that Class Two’s Haylan has returned. Is he here to participate in the alumni gathering?”

“Haylan Jaber? Do you mean the good–for–nothing who caused trouble eight years ago and escaped overseas? What’s the point of having someone like him participate?”

“I live near Haylan’s house. As far as I know, Haylan now works as a security guard in Mapleturz Group. Selena, forget about him. Haylan is not worthy of you”

“That’s right. Selena, you’re the most promising person in our class now. Why do you care about that trash, Haylan?*

“Haylan is a nobody. He doesn’t deserve to hang out with us!”

Sering Selena’s message, many people in the group quickly replied to criticize Haylan. They made him sound worthless.

As everyone knew, Selena and Haylan were close friends in high school.

Right now, Selena was already a high and mighty superstar. Haylan was just a security guard with no ability, Naturally. everyone opposed seeing a superstar feeling attached to Haylan.

Upon seeing this, Jim’s eyes turned cold. He immediately typed a retort, “Haylan isn’t trash. He is a brilliant man now!”

“Selena, you want to see Haylan, don’t you? Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to bring Haylan there in three days”

Haylan had helped him take back his money. He owed Haylan a favor.

Since Selena still had an attachment to Haylan, he would help Haylan once and see if he could matchmake Haylan with

Selena.

“Okay, Jim, if you can bring Haylan over, I’ll also participate in this alumni gathering.” Selena immediately replied.

After the sentence, she even added an ‘anticipating‘ and ‘grateful‘ emoji.

Obviously, she was really looking forward to meeting Haylan.

“I really don’t know how Haylan is so charming that even Big Star Selena can’t forget him.”

Jim looked at the messages and felt envious.

Selena was the prettiest girl in their class. She was particularly gorgeous and had countless suitors. Many rich second- generation heirs queued up to chase after her.

However, she did not like those rich second–generation heirs at all. She only loved hanging out with Haylan, the pauper.

Haylan became the public enemy of all the boys in the school because of this.

Now eight years had passed, but Selena was still devoted to Haylan like how she used to be. Jim was extremely jealous.

Haylan carried the money bag and had just returned to his house when his phone suddenly rang. It was his sister, Floris.

“Floris, are you looking for me?” Haylan answered the call.

Tracy’s panicked crying voice came through the phone. “Is this Uncle Haylan? Please, come and save my mother quickly.

Sobs…”

Over the phone came a burst of shouting and Floris screaming in agony.
