The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 10

This was a slap in the face for Quentin!

It was a sheer insult to him!

Quentin put on a gloomy look and gnashed his teeth, unable to utter any words.

Being asked to call Haylan boss in plain sight was a hard slap in Quentin’s face. It was really shameful beyond words.

However, he had made his promise. Now that he was humiliated by Haylan, he was lost for words regardless of his displeasure.

Seeing that Quentin was in an awkward situation, William hastened to step forward and said with at grin, “Haylan, come on. Mr. Hackbart was merely joking with you. Do not take it seriously.”

“Yeah, Mr. Hackbart was merely joking.”

The other security guards also came to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward to get Quentin

off

With a smile on his face, Haylan ignored the other people and kept staring at Quentin, saying, “Mr. Hackbart, were you really joking?”

“Haylan, enough is enough!”

“How dare you make Mr. Hackbart call you boss? You are so bold!”

“Mr. Hackbart was merely joking with you. Here’s a warning for you. Don’t push your luck!”

As Haylan did not compromise, a security guard flew into a rage and stepped out to glare at Haylan.

The other people also gazed at Haylan angrily and fiercely.

If Quentin called Haylan the boss, did it mean that Haylan, the new guy, would be superior to them?

How could they put up with this?

Besides, they were sticking up for Quentin. This was a good chance for them to curry favor with Quentin.

Faced with everyone’s scolding. Haylan did not speak and stared at Quentin quietly.

Quentin struggled inwardly before he finally growled. “All of you, shut up!”

William and the others were all stunned and kept quiet out of fear.

Quentin stood up and gritted his teeth. In the end, he said to Haylan, “I am a man of my word. A promise is a promise! Since I lost, I must pay my bet then.

“Boss!” Quentin said to Haylan.

Quentin used to be a Special Forces soldier. Although he had been retired for many years and his character had changed a lot, his personality of sticking to his word remained unchanged.

Upon hearing Quentin call Haylan the boss, William and all the other security guards present looked at each other in despair and were totally speechless.

Quentin was from a noble family and was greatly competent. He always watched over other people’s shoulders and never took anyone seriously.

In their eyes, Quentin was always an arrogant and proud man. Even faced with Reign, he still did not show her much respect.

For so many years, this was the first time that they had seen Quentin bow to another man. And this

man was new to the company.

This was once in a blue moon. It was so unbelievable!

“You are faithful to your word. I’m impressed. You’re Quentin, right? I will take care of you,” Haylan

said.

He patted Quentin’s shoulders with a smile on his face.

Seeing the scene, William and the others were all astonished, their mouths twitching. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Unbelievable!

Did Haylan really think of himself as Quentin’s boss?

Quentin put on a gloomy look too.

He thought, “How bold of Haylan! I just gave him an inch, and he dared to take a mile.”

Quentin remained composed and shook Haylan’s hand off his shoulders, saying in a deep voice. “OK. Now that you’ve passed the test, you can start working officially.

“From now on, you’re responsible for the security and patrol of the research and development department.”

After he said that, Quentin got out of the door with depression and started to smoke.

Over the past many years, this was the first time he had to bow to a new guy. It was such a shame for him.

William immediately walked to Haylan and felt exasperated at the latter’s behavior, saying, “Haylan. you’re really as thick as two short planks. You just offended the head of the department on the first day of work!

“Here is a warning. Stay away from me. Do not drag me down!”

After saying that, he darted a fierce glance at Haylan and turned to leave.

At this very moment, he kind of regretted recruiting Haylan to the company. Haylan had just given their leader a slap in the face on the first day of work. It was hard to say what trouble Haylan would. cause in the future.

If Quentin was vindictive and wanted to take revenge, not only Haylan but also William would have a hard time.

“Sigh. I should not have agreed with Charlie’s request. Well, I must find a way to make Charlie take his son back. I can’t let them implicate me!”

While walking, William was thinking about how to kick Haylan off the company.

“Haha, Haylan, you are the first one who dares to confront Mr. Hackbart. Good for you!”

“I’m really impressed!”

After William and Quentin left, many security guards walked over and surrounded Haylan. They talked and laughed with their eyes full of admiration.

Meanwhile, some security guards looked grim and said, “Hehe. Don’t get cocky too soon. You will be kicked out sooner or later.”

“You cannot even see through Quentin’s intention. You’re a bunch of idiots!”

“Haylan, go out on patrol now. There will be trouble awaiting you!”

Those people cast a cold glance at Haylan and went to do a patrol.

“What did they mean? What trouble?” Haylan asked with quizzical eyes.

Then, the security guards around Haylan finally thought of something and all stepped back in shock to keep a distance from him.

“What are you doing?” Haylan felt even more puzzled.

“You are new here. You do not know the severity of the matter. There is a bad-tempered tigress in the research and development department,” a security guard said.

With frightened eyes, he explained, “That spinster has a bad temper. If the position of anything moves a bit in the lab, even if a sheet of paper is blown away by the wind, she will beat and kick the security guard.

“In the Mapleturz Group, all the security guards responsible for the security of the research and development department have been beaten up by that tigress. They are either fired or quit themselves as they cannot stand her.

“Quentin assigns you to take charge of the security of the research and development department. Clearly, he wants to torture you to death!”

Speaking of that, he felt even more frightened and took half a step back secretly. He stared at Haylan with his eyes full of sympathy.

In his eyes, now that Haylan was responsible for the patrol of that department, he would be done for

sure!

Haylan’s face also darkened.

Spinster? Tigress?

These security guards really did not show respect for women.

“Alright. Enough chitchat.”

At that very moment, Quentin walked inside and said in a deep tone, “It is time for work. Everyone. just go on patrol.”

Then, he said to the security guard who had talked to Haylan, “Wane, take Haylan to the research and development department.”

Wane instantly looked thunderstruck as he heard that.

Quentin and the others paid no heed to him and left for their own posts.

With a sad face, Wane led Haylan to the research and development department. As he walked, he said, “Mr. Jaber, keep this in mind. No matter what the tigress says to you later, just do not mess with

her.”

“Is she very terrifying?” Haylan asked with confusion.

“She is more than terrifying. She is literally a monster! Anyway, she is a dangerous woman. Just do. not mess with her,” Wane said with his eyes full of fear.

The research and development department of the Mapleturz Group was on the 18th floor.

After leading Haylan to the entrance of the research and development department, Wane was still a bit worried. He said, “Remember not to offend the tigress. Just do whatever she tells you to do. You’d better not ask too much. I will leave now.”

After saying that, he just fled quickly, as if this department was like a living hell.

“She is merely a woman. What is there to be afraid of? What a wuss!” Haylan mumbled.

He shook his head, flattened his clothes, and went inside.

Then, a stunning lady who was about 30 years old with bright eyes walked towards him.

Her dark and beautiful wavy hair was scattered. Her skin was glowing with big and infinite eyes.

She

was rather eye-catching.

Although she was wearing a white coat, it still could not cover the curve of her body.

She looked quite attractive with prominent buttocks, big breasts, a slender waist, and long legs.

Wearing a pair of white high heels, she looked like a masterpiece created by God. No man could take his eyes off her.

She was such a stunningly beautiful lady!

There was no word to describe her beauty.

She was so gorgeous!

It was a pity that she looked as cold as an iceberg. She gave a sense of aloofness as if she was always telling others not to come near her.

The beautiful lady walked to Haylan and glanced at him, saying with indifferent eyes. “Are you a new security guard?”

“Hello, I’m Haylan Jaber,” Haylan said with a nod.

“Just in the nick of time. Come in. I happen to need an experiment subject,” the lady said with an indifferent expression.

She turned around and left.

Haylan hastened to catch up with her. While walking after her, he asked, “Miss, how should I address you?

“It is said that there is a frightening tigress in the research and development department. What is her name?”

Upon hearing that, the lady stopped and looked at Haylan more coldly, “Tigress? Who told you that?”

“The people of the security department,” Haylan answered honestly.

“Those assholes are dead meat,” the lady snapped and looked colder.

She raised her head and took a glance at Haylan, saying, “That is rotten nonsense. Just leave them. alone. My name is Yara Irwin. Come with me.”

After saying that, she went into a lab.

Yara Irwin?

Was she that fairy lady?

Haylan was dumbstruck.

“Come in,” Yara said.

Haylan came to his senses and said, “Oh.” Then, he just walked inside.

Yara closed the door to the lab, took off the white coat, pointed at the bed in the lab, and said to Haylan indifferently, “Take off your clothes and lie on the bed.”
