The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 

Longhard Kingdom, at sea. 

A bright moon hung high in the sky, shining silver light to the sea. 

Between the moon and the sea, a civilian helicopter was flying toward Lightdom City from overseas. 

On the helicopter, a man in a black robe stared at the laptop in his hand with a cold gaze. 

There was Haylan’s information on the screen 

Black Robe lit a cigar and closed the laptop. He said icily, “Hugh, you are indeed a good-for-nothing. You can’t even handle someone like Haylan 

“If it weren’t for the fact that you saved my life back then, I would not have given a shit about you.” 

While piloting the plane, the pilot asked, “Black Robe, Hugh has been ordering you around for the past few years. This is intolerable. Not everyone can order our Hell’s Gate assassins around.” 

“No matter what, Hugh saved my life.” 

Black Robe turned his sharp gaze into indifference. He said, “Besides, Hugh still has some influence in Lightdom City. We can use his connections to obtain information and money. 

“Moreover, we did not return home this time for Hugh but to investigate Jonathan’s whereabouts!” 

When the pilot heard that, his eyes turned solemn. “Jonathan has been out of contact for a few days. I’m afraid he is already dead. 

“How dare someone attacks a member of our Hell’s Gate? We must investigate thoroughly and kill the person who killed Jonathan!” 

Black Robe smoked his cigar and nodded. He fell into deep thought, and a hint of fear flashed across his eyes. 

The assassins of Hell’s Gate all had a communicator on them. Even if they were killed, as long as they turned on the communicator, they could take photos of the murderer. 

Jonathan’s strength was extraordinary. His reaction speed was fast, and he was agile and powerful. 

However, when Jonathan died, he had no time to turn on his communicator to record the killer. He had no way to leave behind any information about the murderer. 

That meant that the person who killed Jonathan was even more incredible. 

A long time later, Black Robe said, ‘I have a feeling that this is going to be a tough battle!” 

If he could think of it, so could the pilot. 

The plane fell into silence. 

“No matter what, I will return Hugh’s favors first when we arrive at the destination.” 

Take your time. I will rest for a while.” 

Black Robe was quiet for a long time. After finishing his cigar and throwing the cigar butt into the ashtray, he immediately closed his eyes to rest and conserve his energy. 

The helicopter was as fast as lightning. It flew through the vast sea and headed straight for Lightdom City. 

In Lightdom City, at Ruglane District. 

Haylan stopped in the distance and watched, protecting his family’s safety. 

At that moment, he got a message from a stranger, reading, “Hugh is looking for an assassin to kill you. The assassin’s name 

is Black Robe, and he is at the general-class level. Wish you good luck.” 

“Black Robe?” 

Haylan’s face darkened. 

He seemed to have some impression of this name. 

He thought for a while and made a call to the texter. 

However, the owner of the phone number did not answer the call. Haylan knew the person had blocked his number. 

“This man did not answer my call but texted me. Who is this guy? What is his motive for reminding me?” 

Haylan looked at the message on his phone and frowned slightly. 

Haylan did not know many friends in Lightdom City other than the Labenz family, the Zabel family, and the Lynch family However, the one who texted knew that Hugh was looking for a killer and even told Haylan the killer’s name. He must be someone close to Hugh. 

“Who are you? Why are you helping me?” 

Although he couldn’t get through. Haylan still sent a message to this number. 

Even if the texter blocked Haylan’s number, the message could be sent to the texter’s phone. As for whether the texter would read his questions, Haylan had no idea. 

However, after learning this information, Haylan became even more cautious. 

He decided not to sleep. He stood in the middle of the street, circulated the Internal Strength in his body to maintain his peak state, and kept on his toes all the time. 

At six in the morning, he called Killian. “Killian, do you have time? I need a favor.” 

“What do you need?” 

“Help me protect my family. I have something to do.” 

Haylan was not fear of the assassins attacking him. He was afraid after he left, Hugh would send people to hurt his parents again. 

“No problem. I will be there in thirty minutes, said Killian. 

Killian was punctual. Thirty minutes later, Killian arrived at Haylan’s location. 

Thank you” 

Haylan patted Killian’s shoulder and said, “When this is over, I will tell you what’s wrong with Heart Cultivation that has been troubling you.” 

“Huh?” Killian was confused. 

“There’s something wrong with Heart Cultivation you are cultivating, so you’ve been feeling frustrated recently. Every time you cultivate to a critical moment, you will feel a sharp pain in your heart and liver, right?” 

“How, how did you know?” 

When Killian heard this, his expression changed drastically. He looked at Haylan in shock. 

The problem of Heart Cultivation had been troubling him for a month. 

Killian had never mentioned this to anyone. How did Haylan know? 

“I can tell, of course. There’s something wrong with your vital energy circulation. Listen to me. Don’t cultivate for the time being. When I settle this down. I will help you solve the problem of Heart Cultivation,” said Haylan.
