The Invincible Mercenary King novel Chapter 8

Haylan's words were not harsh, yet they were deeply murderous.

Declan instantly felt a chill all over his body.

He felt as though he was confronted by an ancient fierce beast. The hair on his body all stood up, and his soul seemed to be crushed.

The feeling was so terrifying.

"What... What happened? Since when did Haylan become so strong?" Declan was frightened, with his eyes full of horror.

Bang!

Before Declan could come to his senses, Haylan gave him another kick, breaking his 10 ribs. Declan fell to the ground and coughed up blood.

"This kick is the price you have to pay for threatening me.

"Declan, keep this in mind. My money is not what you can take.

"You have seven days. If you can't pay me back within this period, I swear the gloves will come off."

Haylan darted a cold glance at Declan and then turned around to leave.

Over the past eight years, he had transferred at least tens of millions of dollars to his family.

It was such a big sum that Declan might not be able to afford it within a short time.

Hence, he gave Declan a period to prepare for the money.

Declan lay on the ground, his body covered in blood. He was on the verge of dying and was barely breathing.

Covering his injury, he stared at Haylan's back with red eyes and snapped through gritted teeth, "Haylan Jaber, how dare you treat me this way! I must kill you!"

As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood and felt severe pain in his chest.

Declan took out his phone and dialed a number that he had kept for a long time. He said with fierce eyes, "Mr. Williams, I have been beaten up by a guy!

"Can you lend me some hatchet men? I want to kill him!"

The next morning.

When Haylan got up, Felicia had prepared a hearty breakfast.

The breakfast included fresh milk, French loaf, beef stew bread, and beef spaghetti...

"Spaghetti and fresh milk," Haylan blurted out.

Haylan was greatly intrigued.

He had been away from home for years. He really missed these dishes.

"I bought them from the restaurants that we usually went to eight years ago. They are all your favorites. Just eat," Felicia said with a smile.

She stared at her son and felt increasingly dissatisfied with him.

Over the past eight years, Haylan had grown a lot taller and yet much thinner than before. It was really heartbreaking for her to see this.

"Thank you, Mom. I'm so happy to have you around."

Haylan rejoiced with delighted eyes. After washing up, he sat down and started to have breakfast heartily.

The familiar flavor gave him a nostalgic feeling.

The feeling deepened, especially when he looked at his mother cooking in the kitchen and all the familiar things in the room.

This was the taste of home!

While eating breakfast, Haylan signed with emotion and asked, "Mom, where are my sisters and brothers? I haven't seen them for eight years."

"Your elder sister is married. She has moved out. Your brothers and younger sisters are in school. Yelena just graduated this year and got a job in the municipal hospital as a gynecologist. Queenie is a senior in high school. The high school is the one you went to before," Felicia replied while cooking breakfast.

When Haylan heard that, his expression changed.

There were six children in his family. Haylan was the second eldest child. He had one elder sister, two younger sisters, and two younger brothers.

Everything had changed over the past eight years.

His elder sister was married, and his younger siblings, who used to follow him around, had grown up. Some of them already had a job.

At that moment, Charlie suddenly rushed back from outside and sat across from Haylan. As he had breakfast, he said, "Haylan, I've pulled some strings to get a suitable job for you. Today, you'll go to the Mapleturz Group and work as a security guard there."

Haylan felt stunned and said, "Dad, I want to be a doctor."

While Haylan was abroad as a mercenary, most of his tasks were to protect his employer. Now that he was back, he wanted to change his job. Yet, his father just asked him to be a security guard.

"To be a doctor? Do you have a license?" Charlie asked.

Charlie cast a disgruntled glance at Haylan and snapped, "Now, there are so many university students. Your educational background is not high enough. What else can you do if you don't work as a security guard or a waiter? How are you gonna compete with others?

"Or do you want to turn to those hooligans you knew in high school? To goof around with them?"

"Dad, I had no choice but to do that before. At that time, I fought back only because I was really bullied by others," Haylan said with a frown.

Charlie glared daggers at Haylan and snapped, "I don't care what you think. Anyway, it took me a great effort to find a job for you. If you really want to reassure us, take the job then!"

Upon seeing his father's reaction, Haylan hastened to nod and said, "OK. I will do it."

If he rejected his father again, he would probably be kicked out of home by his father in a fit of pique. He could only agree to work as a security guard for the time being before making the next move.

"I have got everything well arranged for you. Just go to the security department of the Mapleturz Group later and find a security guard called William Jach. He is my friend. He will take you to register and check-in," Charlie said.

"OK." Haylan nodded.

Charlie stared at Haylan and said coldly, "Listen, no matter what happens this time, you must do your job well. You mustn't resign!"

Haylan had no other way but to agree. After all, being a security guard was still a job. He decided to reassure his father before making other plans.

He was equipped with superior medical skills anyway. He had plenty of time to give full play to his skills.

Charlie looked at the time and said sternly, "Alright, there is one hour before the office time. Hurry and go to check in now. Remember this. You must listen to Mr. Jach."

"OK," Haylan said.

He nodded. After eating breakfast, he immediately rushed to the Mapleturz Group.

"Charlie, since when did you become so competent? I didn't expect you could get our son to work for the Mapleturz Group."

Felicia stared at Haylan's back and then looked at Charlie. A hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes.

The Mapleturz Group was a company affiliated with the Labenz family, the top family in Lightdom City. It was hailed as the top corporation in Lightdom City.

Reign Labenz, the leader of the Labenz family, was a famous lady with an extremely gorgeous appearance. She was also a famous rich lady and had very strict standards. To enter such a group, ordinary people had to go through a series of selections and trials. It was really as difficult as climbing up into the sky.
