The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369 

The truth remained a mystery, 

Reign felt like she was in a haze, unable to see anything clearly! 

She contemplated the followers around her in her mind’ Landon, her bodyguard and adoptive father, secretaries Lily, and Amy, the director of the finance department…. 

She went through almost everyone she trusted in her mind, feeling conflicted. 

It was because these people were her close friends. 

No matter whom she suspected, she felt guilty. 

“Actually, it’s easy to find out who wants to harm you. It’s whoever benefits the most after your death,” he said. 

“Are you suggesting Philip?” she asked. 

“Yes,” he nodded. 

Philip not only wanted to kill her but also intended to have David poison him. In other words, his ruthlessness made him the prime suspect. 

She pondered for a moment and said. “I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go on a business trip ahead of schedule. Mr. Jaber, get prepared. We’ll leave the province tomorrow.” 

“So urgently?” He was taken aback. 

“Yes, I have a plan that might help me uncover the person lurking around me,” she said. 

“Okay, then I’ll go with you tomorrow.” 

“Don’t you want to know what the plan is?” 

“No need. I just need to know that you have a plan. After all, my task is to protect you” 

He smiled and looked at her, saying. “Not convening a board meeting immediately to trouble Philip and the others, well, you’re calmer than I imagined” 

The incident at the Capital Firm last night was the perfect opportunity for her to vent her anger. By convening a board meeting and digging deep into Gregory’s side, with one stroke, many people would have to step down. 

Unexpectedly, she remained so reliable and calm. 

“It’s not time yet,” she said. 

After all, she was not satisfied with only removing Gregory’s men. 

What she wanted to do was to catch a big fish! 

Stay calm, cast the net, and wait for those people to emerge one by one, then she would strike them all at once. 

Moreover, she was in a dilemma. 

Although Gregory was guided by Philip, there was no direct evidence to prove it. Moreover, with Gregory now dead and no concrete evidence, Philip could easily shift all the blame onto the dead man 

Thus, she had to find new evidence before she could make a move. By then, she would be able to deliver a fatal blow, and completely crush Philip! 

The most important thing now was to find the undercover agent that Philip had planted by her side. Afterward, she could uncover the man’s true intention. 

“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the company tomorrow, or should we meet somewhere else?” he asked. 

“Tomorrow at nine o’clock, from the company to the airport.” 

“Okay, bye.” 

After learning the time and place, he turned around and was about to leave. 

“Wait.” 

She remembered something and suddenly spoke up. “I heard that you can make amulets. Can you make one for me?” “Where did you hear that?” He was surprised. 

“Yvic told me.” 

“Alright, give me your birthdate and astrology chart. I’ll buy a gemstone, make one for you, and give it to you tomorrow.” “Can it be tonight?” 

“That urgent?” 

“Yes, I don’t feel at ease without it.” 

She looked at him, her beautiful eyes filled with uneasiness and anxiety. 

Clearly, after receiving the text message from Gregory, she realized that she was not safe with the people around her. 

“Alright, I’ll give it to you tonight,” he replied. 

“What time tonight” 

“Eight o’clock!” 

“Okay, then please deliver it to my place. I live alone now, and I can’t feel secure without the emerald pendant.” 

“Sure, send me your address later, and I’ll bring it to you tonight” 

He nodded and turned to leave.. 

This was not the first time he had seen her weak side. 

Perhaps in the eyes of others, she was a dominant, aloof, unapproachable CEO. 

However, he had already seen her vulnerable and helpless side many times in the jungle overseas, and he had grown accustomed to it. 

After watching his retreating figure, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in her eyes 

Then, she locked the door and opened a drawer. 

She retrieved something from the drawer that resembled a condom, and her face turned crimson. 

She quickly pocketed the item, took a deep breath, and composed herself. 

She looked forward to the night. 

Once her emotions settled slightly, she took out a piece of paper and began drawing a chart, creating a network of connections between various characters. She sat there, engaging in deduction and reasoning. 

When Haylan returned to the security department, Lucas and Grace were still practicing the horse stance, showing no signs of relaxation. 

He glanced at the two and nodded approvingly. 

Both of them had great talent and had become proficient in the techniques of breathing and Heart Cultivation. With their discipline, they would surely make achievements. 

“We don’t need to practice the horse stance for now. Now, I’ll teach you some boxing techniques for beginners, he said. 

“Master, are you going to tech us the legendary techniques that allows one to effortlessly move heavy weights with minimal effort?” Lucas exclaimed with joy. 

“That’s right.” 

“So, after learning it, will we be able to use force skillfully and send burly men flying?” 

“Yes.” 

“Great, I’m in!” Lucas said with great eagerness. 

After a few days of apprenticeship, he found it amazing that he could finally learn martial arts. 

“Don’t get too excited just yet. This boxing technique is meant to help you calm and focus your mind.” 

Haylan glanced at Lucas and added, “No martial art can be mastered overnight. Only with a calm mind can you grasp its true essence. I’m teaching you this boxing technique to help you cultivate a tranquil state of mind. When you can achieve that, I’ll teach you powerful techniques, such as the legendary Iron Palm.” 

With that, he forcefully struck the wall with his palm. 

Booml 

A tremendous force blasted a transparent hole through the thick wall. 

The strike revealed the twisted steel and concrete inside. 

Witnessing this scene, both disciples’ eyes lit up. 

It appeared to them that the power of that strike was so terrifying that it could shatter one’s bones. 

“I restrained my strength in order to preserve the integrity of the wall, preventing the concrete and steel from breaking,” 

Haylan explained. 

Upon hearing his explanation, the disciples’ eyes glowed with excitement once again. 

Such power was truly godlike, after all. 

“Thus, you must cultivate a calm mind in order to freely control such a fearsome palm strike. Otherwise, if I were to teach you this formidable technique and you engage in fights, there is a high possibility that you could kill someone with a single
