The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 937

The man in his middle age fixed his gaze on Haylan, his expression bearing a cold stare accompanied by a smile that appeared friendly at first glance.

However, to Haylan, Jerome, and the others, that smile seemed as terrifying as a demon’s grin.

There was no doubt about the man’s ill intentions.

Who are you? Haylan inquired with a hint of caution in his voice.

Tm just an admirer, the man replied.

The middle–aged man flashed a twisted smile at Haylan. “Well, well, Mr. Jaber, let’s play a little game, shall we? I’m willing to bet that you won’t even come close to making it to the finals

“And here’s the deal, if I emerge victorious, you’ll owe me a little favor, like helping me eliminate someone.

“But if, by some miracle, you manage to win, you get the pleasure of removing my head.

“How’s that for a thrilling wager? Are you gutsy enough to put it all on the line?”

As his words escaped his lips, the middle–aged man continued to stare at Haylan, his eyes brimming with an unsettling aura of murderous intent.

The flickering in his gaze sent a bone–chilling chill coursing through Jerome and Jerry, freezing them in their tracks.

Despite the absence of overtly menacing vibes, the middle–aged man’s choice of words alone sent a wave of unease surging through Jerome and Jerry, their hairs practically standing on end. It felt as though they were in the presence of a god of death.

Haylan stared back at the middle–aged man, undeterred. “And why should I engage in a bet with you? Or rather, what gives you the audacity to challenge me to one?”

The middle–aged man seemed to anticipate Haylan’s response, chuckling softly as he ran his fingers over a raw stone displayed on Haylan’s stall. “Well, perhaps I can’t claim authority in other matters, but when it comes to stone detecting, I can outshine you any day!

“If you lack the courage to bet against me, it can only mean you’re afraid of what I’m capable of

Haylan’s voice remained remarkably composed as he retorted, “Nice try with the mind games, but you won’t get under my skin. Now, kindly show yourself out.”

The middle–aged man’s expression hardened, his gaze piercingly cold. “Let me make this clear one last time. If you don’t have the guts to bet with me, you’ll rue the day!”

Haylan’s resolve solidified, his unwavering attitude unyielding. “I won’t indulge in your foolish games. I’ve made my decision, and you can take your leave. End of story.”

Haylan couldn’t help but scoff at the audacity of the middle–aged man.
