The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 

Looking at Haylan’s fierce gaze, the criminal gang leader gritted his teeth and did not speak. 

At the same time, the leader tried his best to pull out all his Internal Strength, attempting to break through the suppression of Haylan’s aura. 

POOM! 

After using all his Internal Strength, the leader could move. 

The moment the leader could move, he attacked at his fastest speed. He aimed the gun at Haylan’s foot and suddenly pulled the trigger. 

BANG! 

The bullet struck a stone, and sparks arose. 

The moment the leader fired, Haylan dodged the bullet. 

The criminal gang leader cried in shock, “What?” His expression changed. 

The leader was afraid his movement would attract Haylan’s attention. Thus, he only slightly moved his gun and changed the muzzle’s direction. He wanted to catch Haylan off guard. The leader could not believe Haylan had noticed it. 

Haylan’s eyes were cold, and he said, “Alright. I won’t push you if you’re unwilling to tell me.” 

Haylan thought, “Earlier, I wanted to get some information from the leader. Thus, I showed some mercy and did not kill 

him. 

*However, this person did not appreciate it and even tried to kill me. 

“He is courting death! 

The criminal gang leader roared, “I’m gonna kill you!” Then he raised his gun with all his might and aimed at Haylan. 

BOOM! 

Before the leader could make a move, Haylan had already kicked the leader’s left chest. The huge force sent the leader flying over 30 feet. Then the leader crashed into a big tree. 

*Pilt!” 

The criminal gang leader spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale. 

The leader wore a mask that perfectly hid his expression. 

The leader widened his eyes and looked at Haylan in disbelief. Then he fell straight down into the mountains. The leader never got up again. 

Haylan’s kick was powerful enough to shatter the leader’s heart. Thus, the leader died the moment he took Haylan’s kick. 

Haylan walked forward and removed the leader’s mask. 

Under the mask was a face of a middle-aged man. His face was an ordinary one. In other words, he would not attract anyone’s attention on the street. 

Haylan looked at that face for a while but could not recognize the person. 

Thus, Haylan gave up. Instead, he stood up and looked in the direction where Linda was. Then he immediately saw Linda limping over. 

Although her foot was injured, Linda was worried about Haylan’s safety. Thus, she endured the pain and rushed over. 

Haylan had no choice but to run over and meet Linda. 

Linda asked, “Are you okay?” Her eyes were filled with worry. 

After all, Haylan fought a general-class expert. If Haylan was not careful, he might die. 

Haylan replied, “No worries. I’m fine.” 

Then Haylan picked Linda up and said, “Come on. I’ll take you to see a person.” 

Linda blushed and said, “Hey. Let go of me.” 

This was Linda’s first time that a man had carried her in his arms. 

Haylan explained, “Your foot is bleeding. If I don’t hold you, your wound will bleed even more. We all know the consequence of it.” 

After that, Haylan rushed over, carrying Linda in his arms. Then they arrived at the side of the criminal gang leader’s body 

Haylan said, “Check this guy. See if you can recognize him.” 

Linda frowned and said, “He’s the king of thieves in the northwest, Deegan Morrison. Deegan was the Longhard Kingdom’s most wanted criminal. He had killed many families, and the country had been searching for him. I didn’t expect Deegan to be in Lightdom City and openly rob a bank.” 

“Which bank did Deegan rob?” asked Haylan. 

“The Lightdom Gem Bank,’ replied Linda. 

“You mean the bank that’s established to store gemstones?” asked Haylan. 

“Yes, it is the bank owned by Robert Bard,” said Linda. 

When Haylan heard this, he became serious. 

Haylan thought, “These guys robbed Robert’s bank? 

“If I had known this before, I wouldn’t have worked so hard to catch up with those guys! 

“Fortunately, I just killed this the criminal gang leader and was not responsible for recovering the lost property. “Otherwise, I would be working for Robert.” 

“He’s already dead. Your mission is completed now. How about not chasing the other criminals?” said Haylan. 

“Put me down first,” said Linda. 

Then Haylan put down Linda. 

Linda endured the pain and walked to Deegan Morrison’s side. Then Linda searched around. She seemed worried and said in a deep voice, “The things are not here. We have to chase the others now!” 

“What things?” asked Haylan. 

“Gemstones containing Uranium-235!” said Linda. 

Hearing this, Haylan was shocked. 

Haylan thought, “Uranium-235 is the material to make nuclear weapons! 

“I can’t imagine what will happen if the criminals have Uranium-23.5” 

“Why would Robert have such things?” asked Haylan. 

Linda said solemnly, “To some extent, Robert is like a king of the Lightdom City. He has businesses in many industries, including gray industries. Damian Wales discovered stones containing Uranium-235 and presented them to Robert. 

“Although Robert has power, he knows he can’t keep these stones. Thus, Robert donated most gemstones containing Uranium-235 to the country. Because of it, Robert gained the appreciation of a big figure. 

“But we didn’t expect Robert to have a small part of those stones. 

“What’s more unexpected is that someone dared to rob Robert’s bank and take those stones. 

“Uranium-235 has strong radiation. It can be used to create terrifying weapons. Therefore, we must take those stones back!” 

Haylan nodded and said, “I understand.” 

With that, Haylan picked up Linda again and ran. 

Haylan did not hold back this time. He went all out and rushed into the distance like lightning. 

Haylan ran so fast that he and Linda could hear the wind whistle! 

Linda felt like she was sitting on an off-road motorcycle fast like lightning. She also felt a strong wind blowing on her face. The scenery was running in the opposite direction. 

The strong wind was so strong that Linda could not open her eyes. 

Therefore, Linda had no choice but to turn around and bury her head deep in Haylan’s arms. 

Haylan said, “They split up.” 

Soon, Haylan and Linda arrived at a point that led to diverging paths. 

The messy footprints were on three paths. The criminals deliberately made this to confuse the people after them and avoid getting caught. 

Linda looked anxious. She asked, “What should we do? Which path should we choose?” 

“This way!” said Haylan.
