The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 987

Haylan stared at Dylan and Macmillan. His eyes were sharp and cold. Dylan and Macmillan felt a terrifying pressure suddenly descend upon them.

Dylan and Macmillan were already trembling in fear. Their hair stood on end when they noticed Haylan’s stare.

This was the legendary Sovereign of Shadows! He was an existence that could shock the entire world.

Even though Haylan did not reveal how powerful he was, it was enough for them to be horrified.

Macmillan gritted his teeth and thought for a while. In the end, he chose not to reveal his true motive.

“We’re here to carry out a mission!” Macmillan blurted.

Dylan and Macmillan already knew that Haylan had received the news. However, Haylan’s side overhearing the news was one thing, them revealing the news was another thing.

Moreover, Macmillan’s master was a genius with considerable status in God’s Land. Who knew if his master had put a spell on him? If Macmillan answered Haylan honestly, even if the Sovereign of Shadows let him off, Terence would not let him

off!

Most importantly, Macmillan did not want to die.

Therefore, his only option was to lie.

“You’re still trying to pull these petty tricks on me?” Haylan said.

His expression turned cold. Haylan formed sword fingers with one hand and suddenly slashed out.

A blinding beam flashed.

Before Macmillan could react, both of his hands were cut off. There was blood dripping from them.

“Ah!”

Macmillan had lost his arms. His face twisted in agony, and he was screaming in pain.

Seeing this, Dylan, who was at the side, peed his pants.

Nobody expected Haylan to be so decisive. Just because they could not see eye to eye, without another word, Haylan directly attacked Macmillan.

“I think the pain from the broken arm should have reminded you of something, right?” Haylan stared at Macmillan.

Haylan had a calm tone. There was no emotion in his voice, and it was as if he had not cut off a person’s arm earlier.

However, Macmillan did not feel any resentment because of Haylan’s action. Instead, he felt that everything was reasonable!

That was the Sovereign of Shadows! If he was not that bold and decisive, Macmillan would suspect that he had been brought to the wrong place.

Compared to how fearful Macmillan was, after a short moment of shock and fear, Dylan’s face was flushed with excitement. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Jaber, our mission is to destroy King’s Platform!”

Although Dylan and Haylan were on opposite teams, in Dylan’s heart, he regarded the Sovereign of Shadows as God!

However, the Sovereign of Shadows‘ identity was mysterious, so it was natural for Dylan not to know Haylan’s true identity.

Now that he saw his idol, naturally, Dylan would be willing to tell him everything he knew.

“You’re quite quick to react.”

Haylan smiled slightly, but there was a trace of doubt in his mind.

Learning to keep a secret was very important for the survival of a mercenary group. Moreover, Dylan’s mercenary group was also world famous, so usually they would not reveal their real motive so easily.

Hearing Haylan’s words, Dylan immediately understood the meaning behind them.

Dylan hurriedly replied, “All the mercenaries think of you as God! Naturally, I won’t dare to hide anything from you.” Even Haylan, who had a lot of experience in life and could deal with most situations, was speechless when he heard Dylan’s words.

If he was not wearing the mask, Dylan and Macmillan would see the stunned expression on Haylan’s face. When Nigel and the others heard that, they felt a little awkward but thought that it sounded reasonable.

It was not difficult to see how significant the Sovereign of Shadows was as he was worshipped by someone on the enemy

Team

“In that case, tell me more about your plan,” said Haylan.

Seeing that Dylan had relented, Haylan thought of making some changes to his previous plan.

With a gentle wave of his right hand, another sword beam flew out. In a split second, Macmillan was beheaded.

A Demigod had died just like that!

Even until his death, Macmillan’s eyes were still wide open, unable to die in peace.

“It’s your honor to get killed by Mr. Jaber, Nigel said disdainfully, but there was a hint of envy in his tone too

“If you can tell me everything I want to know, I will agree to one of your requests.” Haylan looked at Dylan.

Haylan only agreed to grant Dylan one request. However, Haylan was the leader of the Shadow Knight. Being able to get his promise was something that all the major factions in the world wanted but failed to get!

Nigel looked at Dylan and said calmly. “It’s a great honor for Mr. Jaber to grant you one request. Hurry up and speak”

“I only ask that you execute me yourself!” Dylan said.

No one expected that Dylan would request for Haylan to personally execute him.

Such a request not only shocked Nigel and the others, but even Haylan himself was shocked. He was taken aback by Dylan’s request.

Was this guy joking?

However, very quickly, Haylan understood the meaning behind Dylan’s words. He even had a trace of admiration for Dylan.

“Tell me about your plan first,” Haylan said.

Haylan did not agree, but he did not reject either. He deliberately kept Dylan in suspense.

Dylan did not dare to hesitate, and he hurriedly said, “What I know is that Macmillan’s master gave me a huge sum of money, asking me to attack indiscriminately when Steve becomes king and create chaos. I need to destroy Lightdom City’s buildings, and it would be best if I could kill Steve.

“The more chaotic it is, the better!”

When he heard that, Haylan was fuming.

An indiscriminate attack!

These simple words meant that on the day Steve was conferred the title of king, Lightdom City would become a living

hell!

People who were attending Steve’s coronation included representatives from major factions and various countries. On top of that, even representatives of various large enterprises would attend it too. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

In Haylan’s eyes, the representatives of the various enterprises were just ordinary people, and they were no different from the staff at the venue.

However, the other party did not even want to let ordinary people off. This was what Haylan found the hardest to accept! “Everyone who’s below God’s Land is like mere ants to you! Terence, what a good ploy you have thought of!” Haylan snarled. He had an incomparably cold and furious tone.

This was the first time after putting on the mask that Haylan had revealed his anger. From that, one could tell how raging mad Haylan currently was. He was experiencing extreme rage.

In a span of a second, Haylan quickly suppressed his anger and asked, “So what do you intend to do after that? What other arrangements have you made? How many allies do you have?”

“That’s all I know. Please kill me personally,” said Dylan.

There was no fear on Dylan’s face, only relief that the end had come.

“I know that you won’t let me off. Even if you let me off, Macmillan’s master won’t let me off when I return. Rather than dying in the hands of others, I’d rather die in the hands of the person that I idolize,” Dylan said.

Dylan’s calmness was beyond everyone’s expectations, but because of Dylan’s words, Nigel and the others looked at him in a different light.

“Don’t worry, my men won’t die so easily!” Haylan said calmly
