The Invincible Mercenary King novel Chapter 2

Being stared at like that made the hair stand on the back of Xavier's neck.

At that moment, he felt like he was under the gaze of an ancient demon, and all his blood instantly ran cold.

He stiffened, mouth hanging open, and couldn't get a word out.

His instinct told him that Haylan was a tough guy.

"Hell. Who is this guy? Why are his eyes giving me the creeps?" Xavier asked in his mind.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at Haylan warily, not having the guts to provoke him again.

"Gentlemen, please return to your seats." A stewardess approached them.

"Boy, for the sake of the stewardess, I'll leave you alone for now. After the plane lands, you'll be dead!"

The stewardess's appearance helped Xavier out. He shot a baleful glare at Haylan and hurriedly left with his girlfriend.

Two hours later, the plane landed at Lightdom Airport.

Xavier took his girlfriend off the plane immediately. As he walked, he talked on his phone, "I need some muscle. Send thirty men to me and tell them not to come empty-handed."

A middle-aged man beside Haylan heard Xavier's words and said to Haylan worriedly, "Young man, you need to get away right now. The Lynch family is not to be trifled with."

"Oh, what do you know about them?" Haylan raised his eyebrow.

"The Lynch family is big and has relatives in Lightdom Military Department. A rich guy was once at odds with Xavier because of a woman, and the guy's whole family ended up being killed.

"You slapped him on the face just now. He wouldn't let you get away with it.

"So before his men come, leave from another exit."

The man talked hushedly and tried to persuade Haylan to escape.

"Thank you."

Haylan gave the man a nod and continued, "You're a good man. Thank you for your kind advice. I live in the slums in the Ruglane District of Lightdom City. If you get into trouble, come to me. I'll help you out."

All the passengers in coach had seen him beat Xavier, but only this man came to warn him.

His kindness touched Haylan.

"My name is Yosef Zabel. It's not the right time to brag, young man. Run for your life now," the man said in a low voice.

He didn't see what a guy living in the slum areas could help him with and thought Haylan was bragging.

"I like you. Keep my words in mind. Come to me if you get into trouble."

Haylan smiled and didn't explain. He told Yosef to remember what he said and then got off the plane with his duffel bag.

In the past eight years, he'd gone to many countries and even caused the downfall of some small countries.

The threat from the Lynch family was far from enough to unnerve him.

"Hey, you! Stop right there!"

When Haylan reached the airport exit, a roar was suddenly heard behind him.

Xavier bolted toward Haylan with a bunch of bulky, scary-looking men. They surrounded Haylan and gazed at him provocatively.

"What can I do for you?" Haylan asked, his gaze moving across their faces.

"Boy, you can't beat me and get away with it. Now, kneel and apologize to me. I may let my men pull their punches when they beat you up later."

Face twisted with malice, Xavier added in a voice full of venom, "Otherwise, I'm going to kill you."

Once he finished his words, those heavyset men came closer to Haylan and towered over him with sullen looks.

"On your knees!"

They shouted, their voices deafening.

Haylan's eyes turned icy.

Xavier had come back to take revenge on him.

"Now you know you shouldn't have messed with me. Drop on your knees now!" Xavier spat with a smug grin.

Slap!

Before Xavier finished his words, Haylan smacked him hard in the face. Xavier landed on his back five meters away, and blood spurted from his swollen mouth.

"You talk too much," Haylan said coldly.

All the burly men around Haylan were shocked.

None of them had expected Haylan to fight back when he was outnumbered.

Xavier held his face in his hands and spat out a few broken teeth. Blood streamed down his mouth when he roared, "Boys, kill him! Kill him for me!"

On his directive, those large men clenched their fists and charged at Haylan.

Some took out the baseball bats they had brought and swung them at Haylan's head.

"You have no idea who you're fighting with."

Haylan's eyes turned even colder.

Thumps were heard the next moment.

He moved as fast as lightning and dodged those men's blows, appearing behind their backs.

The next second, those men all flew out like ragdolls and hit the ground hard, wailing in pain and unable to get on their feet again.

"W-What the hell?" Xavier was dumbfounded by what he saw and sat on the ground agape.
