The Invincible Mercenary King

Chapter 753

Haylan’s eyes were frigid as he spoke.

Within just one day and night, he had noticed the peculiarities of the wall.

If possible, he wished to visit the site himself and investigate the secret of the wall.

However, he had to stay vigilant of Bernard at all times to prevent any harm from befalling Reign.

So he asked Landon to investigate.

“Don’t worry. I will find out what’s going on there,” Landon said in a deep voice.

“Alright. I’ll leave it to you then. I’ll keep a close watch on Bernard, and if he initiates any action, I’ll respond immediately.” Haylan stated.

“Be careful.

“You too. Let me know if I can help.”

“I will.”

Haylan ended the call, polished off his hamburger, and resumed his surveillance on Bernard.

As long as he kept an eye on Bernard, he would definitely be able to save Reign.

Moreover, if Bernard appeared to be normal, he could assume that Reign was temporarily out of danger.

That was a stroke of good luck in the midst of misfortune!

“You’re just putting on an act, aren’t you? Well, in that case, let’s see how long you can keep up the act,” Haylan murmured to himself.

He fixed his gaze upon Bernard, and the longer he looked at him, the more inscrutable he appeared.

Under the influence of Haylan’s soul control technique, Bernard was functioning perfectly. He was still able to go about his daily routine of working, resting, eating, and sleeping without any issues. That indicated his exceptional spiritual strength.

Perhaps Bernard was just pretending to be hypnotized when he was hit by Haylan’s soul control. He wasn’t really hypnotized.

Haylan thought, “It seems that his physical strength is, at best, that of a three–star General. However, his spiritual strength is so potent that even I am unable to subdue it.

“He must be concealing his true strength. No doubt, he’s a peerless expert. It’s possible that he deliberately conceals his supposed three–star General cultivation level.”

Haylan cast a frosty glare at Bernard.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of arousal.

For the first time in years, he confronted an adversary that was impossible to comprehend. He felt as though he had finally found his equal.

He had not felt such a sense of danger for a long time!

Engaging in a challenging battle with an adversary of equal or higher caliber would be beneficial. It would prevent his body from succumbing to rust./

“Bernard, you look so normal. Did you notice that I was staring at you?” Haylan smiled.

Bernard was a start man. He knew what he could and could not do.

He would only act so normal if he knew that he was being targeted.

As Haylan was musing over this, Bernard seemed to catch onto his thoughts. He opened the window and turned his gaze towards Haylan.

Their eyes locked in a momentary gaze.

Haylan’s body quaked violently. It was akin to the sensation of being fixated by a ferocious predator lurking in the shadows. Every hair on his body stood on end, and his skin was covered in goosebumps.

How dangerous!

Aprofound feeling of danger engulfed him, triggering his heart to race uncontrollably.

“Impressive. It’s no surprise that he was able to deceive Rei. He’s quite cunning. Haylan murmured.

This sense of danger could intimidate regular people.

However, for a proficient expert like Haylan, the sensation of pert only fueled his excitement further

Av a mercenary, he had once lived on the edge of death every day. Feeling a constant sense of perit was nothing out of the ordinary for him.

Bernard appeared to have detested Haylan’s stare. He responded with a faint smile on his lips, subsequently shutting the window and returning to his affairs

This is a provocation

“Okay, in that case, we need to have a good conversation”

Similarly. Haylan’s face contorted into a frigid sneer. He lit a cigarette before getting out of the car and walking toward Bernard’s castle with an icy stare.

Knock Knock!

Haylan arrived at the castle entrance and knocked on the door.

Bang!

The castle door abruptly swung open with a loud bang upon being knocked on.

Haylan lit a cigarette and strode in with an impassive expression. He made his way directly to Bernard’s room.

Upon his arrival, Bernard had already prepared a freshly brewed pot of coffee. He greeted Haylan with a smile, saying, “Mr. Jaber, I’ve been waiting for you.

I have already made coffee. Please have a seat.”

After that, he gestured for Haylan to take a seat on the sofa.

Haylan took a seat on the couch that Bernard had gestured towards. He lifted the cup of coffee and inhaled its aroma, grinning in delight. It smells delicious.

“I had no idea you were so enthusiastic about the culture of Longhard Kingdom. It seems that you know where to find the most excellent coffee beans.”

“I’m glad that you like it,” Bernard said.

“If I’m not mistaken, you made coffee for Rei when she came to find you, didn’t you?” Haylan inquired.

“Mr. Jaber, you are correct. I have a great fondness for the culture of Longhard Kingdom. Whenever I have visitors from the kingdom, I always make them coffee.”

“So, you put Bewitching Fragrance in the coffee and knocked Rei out, right?”

“Mr. Jaber, I am not sure I understand what you’re talking about.”

“Do I have to be more straightforward?”

Haylan’s lips curled into a cold smile as he said, “I know that you have added Bewitching Fragrance into the coffee. I can smell it, and you have used a considerable amount. The dosage is potent enough to put an elephant into a deep slumber.

“But I’m very curious, how did you send her away after she fainted?”

After hearing Haylan’s words, Bernard’s face darkened. “I still don’t understand what you’re talking about

“Don’t you? Very well, let’s talk about the wall behind your office. I know there is a hidden passage and I suppose Rei was transferred from there, right?” Haylan stared at Bernard coldly. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Go on,” Bernard said with a grim expression.

Haylan maintained a composed demeanor as he placed his coffee cup back on the table. “The wall isn’t made of gold, stone, or iron, but it’s tougher than every substance known to man.

“Hence, this is novel material.

“Half a century ago, a meteorite landed in this area. While there was news of a resulting crater, there was no trace of the meteorite itself. This suggests that it was removed through highly secretive means.

“You used it to construct that wall, didn’t you?

“I reckon there’s a secret passage just outside that door of the meteorite. Perhaps, there’s even an elevator plunging straight down to the depths below.

That’s how you took Rei away.

“Mr. Dean, am I right?”

Beard’s countenance grew even grimmer. He uttered in an icy tone, “Go on.”

“Since you didn’t deny it, I must have been right.”
