The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

“You bet!”

“You dirty scoundrel, I’m gonna make you pay!”

Seward’s fury erupted like a raging storm, his forehead veins pulsating as he unleashed a mighty roar.

Though wounded and tightly bound, it was the effect of the intoxicating fragrance that left him weak and defenseless, allowing Fletcher to claim victory over him.

As the minutes ticked by, the effects of the intoxication started to wear off, fueled by his blazing fury; his Internal Strength surged like wildfire. The ropes that restrained him strained under pressure, threatening to snap at any moment. BANG!

Ina dramatic turn of events, Fletcher descended upon Seward like a celestial warrior, delivering a devastating blow to his back that sent him sprawling and coughing up blood. His Internal Strength shattered, leaving him gasping for life.

“Just a slimy reptile, thinking it can make a fuss in front of our Mr. Payne. Well, you’re playing with fire!” Fletcher sneered with a cold tone

Seward clenched his jaw, his eyes filled with fury as he confronted Buckminster. “You sneaky son of a gun, how did you smuggle in all these mercenaries without anyone catching on? And what the hell happened to the others who were here before?”

“Your Zabel family’s men are all gone, and now every soul on this ship answers to me, Buckminster smirked.

“You filthy bastard!” Seward seethed with even greater fury, determined to go against Buckminster.

Fletcher’s eyes narrowed with cold determination as he unleashed a devastating kick directly to Seward’s head.

Seward’s head was struck with such force that blood gushed from his seven orifices, leaving him sprawled unconscious on the ground.

Buckminster remained calm and said. “Toss him aside.”

Fletcher seized Seward and flung him aside contemptuously as if discarding a worthless object. He sneered, “A seven-star General, huh? Just a worthless piece of trash! In my hands, you’re no better than a lifeless mutt.”

Buckminster shot a contemptuous look at Fletcher, his eyes brimming with scorn.

Fletcher was nothing more than a five-star General, no match for the likes of Seward.

Had it not been for the intoxicating fragrance that had been used on Seward, Fletcher would have been no match for him, easily crushed by a single blow

In his eyes. Fletcher was nothing more than an arrogant upstart who thought too highly of himself.

However, he reframed from exposing Fletcher’s true colors and instead let Fletcher continue his pretentious act, using it to instill fear in the hearts of those around him.

Just as he had expected, when Fletcher confronted Seward, the faces of Josef, Eden, Sharvin, and the others turned pale with fear, their hearts filled with dread.

Seward, the renowned seven-star General of the Zabel family, was a force to be reckoned with. His formidable strength and unmatched skills made him a true military genius, feared and respected across the entire nation.

In the end, he found himself in a pitiful state, like a helpless dog, entirely at the mercy of Fletcher.

It was clear as day how mighty Fletcher had been.

“We’re in a heap of trouble now,” Sharvin whispered in a low voice.

If only they had realized the true strength of Fletcher, they would have allowed Eden to make a daring escape earlier and then strategized their way out.

With these mercenaries standing guard like a pack of wolves in this treacherous territory, we find ourselves trapped, like cornered prey with no hope of escape,

Eden remained silent, his gaze fixated on the surroundings, carefully assessing the situation.

Buckminster smiled faintly, scanning the crowd before him. “Ladies and gentlemen, there’s no need to be nervous. Our purpose for being here is purely for a cordial conversation. We mean no harm and wish to engage in a meaningful discussion with all of you.”

No harm intended?

Just a friendly chat?

The words hung in the air, met with a wave of darkened expressions from everyone in the room.

After witnessing all the bloodshed, people weren’t fools to buy into his spiel. They didn’t fall for his empty words.

The atmosphere among the billionaires present at the scene was relatively composed. With their vast experience navigating through life’s challenges, they recognized that the reason their lives were spared at that moment was undoubtedly due to monetary motives.

In that instant, a billionaire from abroad stood up, his voice filled with ice. “Buckminster, enough with the charade. You’re just here for the money, aren’t you?”

“Listen up! I’ve already reached out to my mercenary group and security team. You should release me immediately if you know what’s good for you. Name your price, and I’ll ensure you’re handsomely rewarded.”

“If you dare lay a finger on me, I assure you, you’ll meet a fate worse than death!”

Buckminster’s laughter grew louder upon hearing the words, a twisted grin forming. “Well, if I’m not mistaken, you must be Owen Harrison, the wealthiest magnate in Greenwood City.”

“Yup, when I ventured out on the frontier, I was involved in the same business as you. When it comes to robbing and looting. I’m your long-lost kin,” Owen boasted with a swagger.

“Well, Mr. Harrison, looks like you’ve got quite the nerve. 1 admire your boldness.”

Buckminster’s smile turned wicked as he uttered. “Fletcher, your mission awaits!”

Fletcher’s face twisted into a wicked smile as he swiftly spun around, revealing a gleaming pistol. He leveled the weapon at Owen, his finger tightening around the trigger without hesitation.

BANG!

With a resounding gunshot, the bullet found its mark in Owen’s forehead, sending him collapsing to the ground in a pool of blood.

Josef, Sharvin, Reign, and the rest, were struck with a sudden sense of dread, their eyes widening in disbelief.

These people weren’t just after money but also out for blood!

A wicked grin spread across Buckminster’s face as he addressed the crowd, “Now, ladies and gentlemen, there’s no need to fret. I have gathered all of you here for a little game of chance. I’ll set you free if Lady Luck isn’t on my side.”

“If Lady Luck favors me, your fortunes shall be mine to claim!”

“As long as you all patiently follow my instructions, I guarantee your safety!”
