The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292 

The next morning. 

Haylan woke up early and started his morning exercise. 

However, he was not going outdoors for the morning exercise this time. Instead, Haylan decided to work out in his courtyard. He ran, practiced martial arts, and swam many rounds in the swimming pool after he put 

on a swimsuit. 

After Haylan exercised for an hour, Charlie also woke up. Seeing his son having such an energetic morning exercise, Charlie was also interested. He warmed up in the courtyard and began to practice boxing. 

Previously, Charlie could not master the standard posture of boxing, and many of his moves were out of place. 

However, after Haylan’s guidance last time, Charlie’s boxing actually became natural and authentic. 

yin and 

Active or still, tough or calm. Every move was a combination of yang, strength and release Charlie had made a significant improvement. 

When Haylan came out of the pool and saw his father’s boxing in such a state, he was shocked again. 

Haylan had learned breathing and Heart Cultivation from his master for over a month. After the master taught him for real for a day, Haylan could finally use breathing in boxing He played it well, catching its authentic vibe of strength and release. 

By doing this, Haylan’s master was really shocked and saw him as at genius! 

Now seeing Charlie’s boxing, Haylan felt that his martial arts talent was inferior to his father’s. 

Charlie had only studied for an hour or two. Now, he could actually use breathing in boxing in a perfect manner. His inhale and exhale combined. with movements were especially authentic. 

“It seems that my martial arts talent is indeed inherited from Dad.” Haylan thought to himself. 

“Seriously, Dad is so talented. If he had begun learning martial arts in the early years, he would be a heroic-level expert at least. Then Dad could 

easily earn money in the entertainment industry,” 

Haylan looked at his father practicing boxing and felt sentimental. 

In order to see how talented his father was, Haylan changed his clothes. and walked to Charlie’s side. “Dad, I see that you are almost done with boxing. Why don’t I teach you another set of boxing techniques?” 

“You know other boxing techniques?” Charlie was stunned. 

“Of course. Our security department consisted of many experts. They taught me quite powerful skills,” Haylan said. 

“Alright. Then teach me right now. I feel energized from practicing boxing today. My waist and legs do not hurt anymore. This set of martial arts is fantastic as it strengthens my health. Impressive!” 

Charlie’s eyes lit up, and he said, “If I can master boxing well and learn a few more skills, I might be able to live a long life.” 

“Alright, I’ll teach you Eight Trigrams Palm then,” said Haylan. 

Eight Trigrams Palm was also a traditional skill. After a series of inheritances, it had long lost its actual combat ability. However, it was still beneficial in strengthening one’s health. 

While Haylan was teaching Charlie this skill, he intentionally added one or two killing moves to increase the difficulty. 

Unexpectedly, by watching Haylan’s demonstration once only, Charlie could complete the whole set himself without the former’s explanation. 

Although Charlie was not fully in standard postures, his moves were flawless. 

“Genius!” 

Haylan looked at his father with shock in his eyes. 

At this moment, Haylan did confirm one thing. His martial arts talent was 100% inherited from Charlie! 

Perhaps Charlie’s talent was even above and beyond his! 

“Dad, do you want to learn the truly killing martial arts?” Haylan asked. 

“Yes, I do!” 

Charlie nodded without hesitation and said in a deep voice, “Ever since 

your mother was beaten up last time, I have started to hate my incompetence.” 

“At that time, I could not defeat those bastards. If you had not come back in time to resolve the crisis, your mother might have been injured to challenged.” 

“Haylan. I also want to reach your skill level. When I fully master it, I cant protect your mother and siblings afterward.” 

After a pause. Charlie looked at Haylan with a solemn look and said, “If possible, I still want to protect you!” 

“Dad. I am an adult now. I do not need your protection. It should be my turn to protect you.” Haylan smiled. 

He was now Sovereign of Shadows, a terrifying existence that surpassed the general-class. He could be considered occupying a lofty position. Other than his master, Haylan was invincible in the world. Why would he still need his father to protect him? 

Charlie stared at Haylan with a determined gaze. “If I knew martial arts, other than your mother, you would be the one I want to protect the 

most!” 

“Huh?” Haylan was stunned. 

“Do you think I cannot see what you’ve been through just because you wear clothes at home all day and even swim in a swimsuit?” 

Charlie stepped forward and grabbed Haylan’s clothes. He ripped it open. and pointed at Haylan’s scars. “I have long seen these scars of yours!” 

Charlie looked at the wounds on Haylan’s body, and his eyes turned red. The father said with a quivering voice, “Kid, although you did not say anything, you must have suffered a lot over the years.” 

“As your dad, I feel distressed when seeing your wounds. 

“Haylan, I am sorry. I am really sorry.” 

At this point, Charlie could no longer control the tears in his eyes. They streamed down his face. 

He hugged Haylan tightly. His eyes were filled with guilt, and his voice was trembling. “It is all my fault for being so useless. It is all my fault.” 

“If I could be as powerful as those legendary figures, you would not 

to leave your homeland and live elsewhere. You would not have to suffer so much. 

“It is all my fault. I could not protect you well. 

“I hate it! 

“I hate myself for being incompetent!” 

As Charlie spoke, he cried even louder and sobbed frequently. He even reached out his hand guiltily and slapped himself hard. 

“Dad.” 

Haylan’s eyes were also red. He hurriedly grabbed Charlie’s hand, and his tears could not help but flow down. “It is not your fault. It is all my fault. I asked for it. 

“You do not have to blame yourself. It is all my fault. I have let you down as well. I did not contact you due to the special attributes of my job for the past eight years. I have made you worry. 

“It is all my fault! Please do not blame yourself.” 

Haylan’s voice was also choked, making some of his words incomplete.
