The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 9



Chapter 9
“I have to give you half my monthly salary? What do you mean?” Haylan asked, frowning.
Quentin glanced at William and asked with disgruntlement, “Didn’t you tell him?”
William’s expression changed. He hastened to bow and said with a flattering smile, “Boss, don’t be mad. I will tell him right now.”
After saying that, he hurriedly dragged Haylan aside and said in a stern voice, “Haylan, listen carefully. Quentin is the head of the
security department and also a relative of Miss Labenz, the CEO of the company. He is also a retired Special Forces soldier. It is
lenient of him to let you join the
company.
“It is the rule here to give him half your monthly salary. It applies to everyone here, including me. Whoever refuses it will be put
into trouble.
“Look on the bright side and pay him a fund. Then, we can all go to work, free from worry.”
Haylan slightly knitted his brows.
According to William, Haylan was actually asked to pay protection fees!
It had been eight years, but this kind of corrupt business practice still existed.
“Haylan, you only need to pay this for one year. Do not mess around. This is the opportunity your dad gets for you by begging.”
William said in a low voice.
Thinking of the image of his father begging others with a humble bow, Haylan felt severe pain in his chest and nodded. “OK.”
Upon hearing that, William was overjoyed and said to Quentin, “Boss, the problem is solved.”
Quentin cracked a smile, walked over, and held Haylan’s hand, saying, “Welcome to be one of us.”
Haylan’s hand was held, and he instantly knitted his brows.

Quentin held Haylan’s hand hard. If Haylan were an ordinary person, his palm would be crushed.
Clearly, Quentin was having a go at Haylan!
“Haha, this new guy is going to suffer.”
“Boss always deals a head-on blow to a new guy at the first encounter. I suppose Haylan will beg for mercy in pain the next
second.”
“Back then, when I just joined the company, my hand was held by Boss so hard that it was about to break. Haylan looks so
weak. He will definitely suffer a lot.”
Faced with the scene, many security guards on the spot all laughed gloatingly as if they were witnessing Haylan being taught a
lesson miserably.
Haylan’s eyes became cold, and he wanted to fight back.
As a Mercenary King, he had never been treated lightly that way.
However, at the thought of what his father had done for him, Haylan had to put up with it and shook hands with Quentin quietly.
“Hmm?” Quentin’s eyes darkened.
As usual, Quentin would shake hands with a new guy with lots of force to make the latter feel pain. and fear. However, at that
moment, this did not work for Haylan.
Thinking of that, he exerted more force, trying to make Haylan give in.

Unexpectedly, no matter how hard he tried, Haylan still remained composed and was not affected at
all.
“This guy is quite something indeed.”
Quentin looked at Haylan with a hint of astonishment flashing across his eyes. Then, he loosened his hand.

Yet, the next second, he stared at Haylan more coldly and thought, “Since you don’t feel pain, it means you don’t show respect
for me. You’re dead meat!”
“What? Quentin just let him go?”
“Quentin is being lenient with him. I guess it’s because his dad begged Quentin so sincerely. That’s why Quentin chose to let him
go.”
Upon seeing the scene, all the security guards looked at each other and felt somewhat surprised.
Quentin let go of Haylan’s hand and said sternly, “Now, you’re one of us, but you have to take and pass the physical fitness test
and be trained. Only after you pass the test can you start working”
“What’s the test?” Haylan asked.
“Within 30 minutes, one needs to run for 3 miles carrying a weight of 30 pounds, do 500 sit-ups, 500 push-ups, and 500 squats.”
Quentin said.
Right after he said that, everyone on the spot gasped in shock.
This was absolutely not a test but a crazy exercise!
Even a retired Special Forces soldier could not complete such a high-intensity exercise..
William also frowned slightly.
Even Quentin could not finish such a high-intensity exercise. How can a new guy like Haylan make it?
Besides, previously, the orientation test was as simple as running for 0.6 miles. Now, Quentin had to complete a test as intense
as five times the previous one. Clearly, Quentin was making things difficult for Haylan!
William’s lips twitched. He wanted to say something for the sake of Haylan, but as the words rushed to his lips, he still withheld
them.
This was the grudge between Quentin and Haylan. If William intervened, others would give him a hard time too.
He did not have to offend Quentin for the sake of Haylan!

“So, can I start working after finishing it?” Haylan asked.
“Yes. If you cannot finish it, you still need to do more training. You cannot start working until you. pass the test,” Quentin said.
He stared at Hayalan with playful eyes.
Quentin emphasized the word “test” mainly to give Haylan a face-saving way out of this.
As long as Haylan bowed to him and begged for mercy, he could waive the test for Haylan.
“Is it so simple?” Haylan asked.
“Simple?”
William and the other security guards all looked at each other in astonishment upon hearing that.
This was already rather high-intensity. Many people here couldn’t complete it at all. How could

Haylan call it simple?
What was wrong with Haylan?
“Simple? Hehe, dude, what a bragger you are! Since you are so confident, let’s make a bet. If you can make it, you do not need
to hand in half your monthly salary.”
With his eyes full of contempt, Quentin suddenly said, “But if you cannot finish it, you must give me three months’ salary. What
do you say?”
In Quentin’s eyes, Haylan was talking big. No way could he make it.
In this case, Quentin wanted to take the opportunity to teach Haylan a lesson and then occupy the latter’s salary.
Haylan laughed and said indifferently, “Then, I have a condition too. If I win the bet, I’ll keep all my salary and you must call me
boss. What do you say?”

After he said that, William and the other security guards were all dumbstruck.
They all believed that Haylan was too arrogant.
Quentin was the leader of the security department as well as a retired Special Forces soldier who had gone to war before. He
was definitely strong. Everyone present had been beaten by him.
Now, Haylan, a new guy, dared to ask Quentin to call him boss. He was really reckless!
Quentin burst into laughter and replied, “OK!”
“It is a deal then. So, many people have heard it and serve as our witnesses. You can’t break your promise. Just bring me the
30-pound weights,” Haylan said.
“You’re still acting, huh? I must see how you will finish it,” Quentin said with a sneer.
Quentin immediately winked at William.
William had no other choice but to bring the 30-pound ankle weights and pass them to Haylan.
Haylan tied the ankle weights to his legs and stood at the edge of the training hall, saying, “Mr. Jach, start recording the time.”
“I’ll do it,” Quentin said.
Quentin took out the timer and stared at Haylan with his eyes full of contempt, saying, “Haylan, there is still time for you to regret
it now.”
Haylan also looked at him and said, “There is time for you to regret it too.”
Quentin’s eyes became cold. He said, “Since you’re so determined, I will grant your wish. Are you ready? Start!”
After saying that, he pressed the timer.
Then, there came a whoosh.
As soon as Quentin said that, Haylan dashed forward.
He ran as fast as a gust of wind.

He completed the 3-mile run with weights within five minutes.
“So... So fast?”
Upon seeing the scene, Quentin, William, and all the other security guards present were shocked in disbelief, their mouths wide
open.
It was as if the 30-pound weights were nothing to Haylan. He just ran as fast as a flash of lightning. How was it possible?
Chapter 9
Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Haylan immediately continued to do sit-ups, push-ups, and deep squats after finishing the 3-
mile run.
He did 500 sit-ups, 500 push-ups, and 500 deep squats in total, which only took him eight minutes.
After doing all of those exercises, Haylan stood up, neither flushing nor panting, as if he had just finished a routine exercise. He
looked at Quentin with a composed expression and asked, “I guess it hasn’t been 30 minutes yet, right?”
Quentin, William, and all the other security guards were dumbstruck and slack-jawed to see the
scene.
Quentin subconsciously took a look at the timer and felt even more astounded.
It only took Haylan 13 minutes to complete the test!
Haylan completed such a high-intensity exercise within such a short time, and he did it with ease. This was so shocking.
“He is so freakishly strong!” One of the security guards looked astonished and exclaimed, his voice trembling.
The others all looked at each other with extreme shock. They were lost for words.
This was shocking!
It was way too shocking!
Haylan could complete such a high-intensity exercise with 30-pound weights within 13 minutes. His physical fitness status was
beyond imagination.

Quentin was also dumbstruck, with his mouth wide open. He had no idea about what to say.
Even though he was a retired Special Forces soldier, he could not complete this exercise within such a short time. How did
Haylan make it?
Haylan threw away the 30-pound weights and looked at Quentin, saying aloofly, “Mr. Hackbart, you’re a man of your word. A
promise is a promise. From now on, you must call me boss.
“Come on. Call me boss now.”
Quentin pulled a long face at once after he heard that.novelxo.com fast update
