The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 

Landon drank coffee and savored it carefully. After remaining silent for at long while, he raised his head to look at Haylan, saying, “Are you sure there’s such a strange creature in Lawrence’s brain?” 

“I’m not sure, that’s why I need to see the patient before making a decision. Haylan said. 

“Alright, I understand.” Landon said. “I’ll make time and go with you to Whileal Kingdom.” 

“Shouldn’t we discuss this matter with Ms. Labenz?” Haylan asked as he frowned. 

“I don’t want her to experience disappointment again,” Landon said. 

Over the years, Reign had experienced many moments of hope, with doctors telling her every one or two months that there was a new medicine that might cure Lawrence. 

However, they failed every time. These repeated disappointments made her heartbroken and sad. 

Therefore, before Haylan was completely sure that he could cure Lawrence’s illness, Landon did not want to tell Reign, nor did he want Reign to experience despair and disappointment again. 

“Got it,” Haylan said as he nodded. 

Landon thought for a moment and said, “How about this? After you accompany Ms. Labenz on her business trip, I’ll arrange for you to go to Whileal Kingdom.” 

“Alright, we’ll talk about it after you arrange it,” Haylan said as he nodded. “I need to go for training now.” 

Landon looked at Haylan and said in confusion, “I’ve seen the training manual you wrote. Are you trying to turn all of them into Special Forces?” 

“No, I want to turn them into a top-notched combat team that’s even more powerful than Special Forces!” Haylan said. 

“How powerful do you want them to be?” Landon said. 

“A team that can defeat general-class experts,” Haylan said. 

Haylan smiled. He looked at Landon and said, “After I train them for a month, you will be the chief examiner, specifically responsible for verifying their progress.” 

“Okay, I’m really looking forward to their progress,” Landon said with at smile. 

A team that could defeat general-class experts! 

If these security guards really became as capable as described, it meant. that Reign would have a group of loyal and capable subordinates. She would have more power and influence in the Labenz family in the future. 

“You should also train well these days,” Haylan said indifferently. “Otherwise, you may get beaten up one month later.” 

“If that’s the case, then I really have to train hard,” Landon said. His eyes were filled with anticipation. “When the time comes, I’ll beat up those weak soldiers that you train and get them defeated in a sorry state.” 

At this moment, he reckoned that Haylan coming to work at Mapleturz Group was simply a great blessing for Reign. 

With him around, it might not be so easy for other members of the Labenz family to plot against Reign. 

Haylan patted Landon’s shoulder and said, “I’m leaving now. Remember to tell Ms. Labenz to bring home the cured meat later. I marinated it carefully. It tastes great. 

“If you like it, take one piece for yourself too. It’s really delicious. Don’t 

miss out.” 

At the mention of this, Landon was speechless. 

Haylan brought up cured meat again! 

Landon thought, “Haylan’s emotional intelligence is really terrifyingly low. 

“Giving cured meat as a gift and still being so self-satisfied. Does he treat the cured meat as treasure?” 

He picked up the pieces of cured meat and said, “Are you sure this is really good stuff? 

“Haylan, you’re a man after all. If you’re pursuing a girl, you have to know a little bit of logic and romance, right? Who on earth would give a 

beautiful girl a gift of cured meat? 

“Are you out of your mind?” 

“It’s practical,” Haylan said. “It can be eaten. Moreover, I made it myself. It’s a unique and delicious dish that cannot be bought even with money. It’s a priceless treasure!” 

Sovereign of Shadows personally made the cured meat. It was a treasure that could not be bought with money. 

In the past, many overlord-level figures in the extraterritorial battlefield had spent tens of millions of dollars trying to buy his cured meat, but he refused to sell it. 

Now that he had personally made so many pieces of cured meat, he could be deemed to have shown Reign much respect. 

“Priceless treasure?” Landon said. “Even if you give it to me, I wouldn’t want it. I’m already sick of it.” 

“Take it,” Haylan said. “The cured meat I made myself is definitely a delicacy. It’s priceless.” 

With that, he left. 

Landon looked at the cured meat on the table, feeling confused. 

“I’d like to find out how good your cured meat is,” he said. 

In the end, he picked up one of the pieces of cured meat and walked out of the door to the company’s canteen. He handed the cured meat to the chef in the canteen and said, “Kevin, here’s a piece of cured meat. Make me a few dishes with it. I want to eat now.” 

“No problem,” Kevin said. 

Kevin took the cured meat and smelled it slowly. His eyes lit up and he immediately exclaimed, “It smells so good.” 

He placed the cured meat in front of his eyes and looked at it seriously. The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. “Okay, okay, okay,” he said. 

“Kevin, it’s just a piece of cured meat,” Landon said. “Do you have to be so excited?” 

Kevin said excitedly, “Mr. Katz, people who work in different professions 

will find it difficult to understand each other. You’re not a chef, so you don’t understand. This cured meat is definitely the best cured meat I’ve 

ever seen. 

“The process of making it can be considered perfect. 

“And I just smelled it. It does smell very good! 

“Just wait. I’ll make you a few dishes later. You can then taste it.” 

With that, he immediately picked up a knife and began to cut. 

Then, he divided the cured meat into several portions. One portion was used to make pasta. Another portion was used to make soup. The last portion was used to make risotto. 

After a while, he brought these three delicious and steaming dishes to Landon.
