The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 373

Chapter 373 

“Carefull” 

Haylan reacted swiftly, immediately tackling Reign and rolling several times, taking cover behind the couch. 

Bang! 

The bullet whizzed past the spot where she had just been, piercing through the wall. 

It was an armor-piercing round! 

As he caught sight of the bullet hole, his face darkened. 

After all, generally speaking, ordinary assassins and mercenaries would not employ such highly lethal ammunition. In other words, the assassins attacking them were undoubtedly formidable. 

Suddenly, a strong sense of danger surged within him, and his heart raced wildly. 

“Watch out!” 

With a powerful kick, he sent the couch flying, positioning it as a shield on the table 

Without hesitation, he held her tightly, swiftly gliding along the floor, and took cover behind the wall. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

They had barely moved when countless bullets rained down, shattering glass, piercing through the couch, and demolishing the area they had occupied moments ago. 

Despite the power outage, the devastated state of the floor was visible with the moonlight streaming through the windows. 

“This…” 

Having witnessed the scene, her pupils shrank in overwhelming shock. 

If it were not for his swift action to move her elsewhere, she would have been killed on the spot. 

The realization made her break out in a cold sweat, her face turning pale. 

She turned to thank him but awkwardly discovered his hands resting in the most inappropriate place. 

Seeing this, her face flushed crimson. 

This feeling was very strange. 

It was her first time being held like this by a man, and her heart raced even faster, leaving her too embarrassed to speak. Meanwhile, he did not realize that he had placed his hand in the wrong place. He simply held her firmly, placing her aside. He rose swiftly from the ground, assuming a kneeling position, his eyes locked onto the window. “Ms. Labenz, it appears that the threat extends beyond foreign adversaries. There are also individuals within our own borders who what 

“I know. I’ve disrupted the interests of too many people ever since Oliver placed me in this position. Philip, on top of others, has always wanted me dead.” 

A grave expression swept across her face as she spoke, “Yet, I haven’t uncovered any concrete evidence implicating him in hiring an assassin to target me.” 

“Now is not the moment to delve into the identity of the assailant. Our priority lies in ensuring our survival, he replied with a somber tone. 

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! 

As they conversed, gunshots erupted outside the window, accompanied by numerous screams. 

He could discern that many of the skilled individuals hidden in the villa’s shadows had already been eliminated. 

Moreover, judging from the chaotic footsteps, it was evident that many were rushing toward their location. 

The sound of intense fighting could be heard amidst the water noises outside, 

It was clear that Landon had already been engaged by the group of skilled attackers. 

Bang! 

Just as Haylan and Reign were about to react, the second-floor entrance was forcefully kicked open. Without delay. flashbang grenades were hurled inside. 

Haylan’s expression shifted, and he instinctively shielded her eyes. Embracing her tightly, he swiftly maneuvered to a different location. 

The stun grenades exploded, illuminating the room as brightly as daylight and bringing unbearably dazzling shine 

A team of mercenaries, sporting specialized goggles and brandishing firearms, stormed in, unleashing a relentless barrage of bullets their previous whereabouts. 

upon 

He continued to hold her, constantly changing their position, evading bullets. Eventually, they sought refuge within the confines of the bedroom, sealing the door shut. 

Trembling with fear, she found herself in a state of utter distress, her garments drenched in perspiration. Opening her eyes, she gazed upon him with a mixture of disbelief and terror. “What… what is going on? How can such weapons exist within this country” 

These are mercenaries. They possess vast combat experience and far surpass ordinary police officers in their tactics. If they intend to smuggle firearms, it would require an organization as powerful as the Dragon Team to intervene, otherwise. regular detectives wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Moreover, each mercenary possesses specialized knowledge of firearms. Even if they are unable to import weapons from overseas, they can acquire materials locally and craft their own.” 

He opened his eyes, staring at the door, and spoke in a deep voice. “Stay here and don’t move. Leave everything to me.” 

After saying that, he stood up, his gaze turning ice-cold. 

Bang! 

Coincidentally, at this moment, the group of mercenaries burst through the door and charged in with great momentum. 

However, before they could open fire. Haylan’s silver needles had already struck like lightning, piercing through their helmets and penetrating their skulls. 

His movements were as swift as lightning as he seized one person’s submachine gun and unleashed a burst of fire toward the door. 

Bullets rained down like a storm, taking down all the mercenaries who were charging toward them, leaving them in a pool of 

blood 

He held the submachine gun, charging forward. 

Wherever he went, all the approaching mercenaries fell beneath his bullets. 

Every shot hit the target without fail! 

At this very moment, he resembled an invincible General, charging forward, breaking through enemy lines, unmatched in his slaughter. 

“Rei, they have bazookas, run!” 

Landon’s voice came from outside at this moment. 

Upon this, Haylan’s expression changed. He immediately discarded the submachine gun, ran back into the bedroom, and lifted the bewildered Reign in his arms, crashing through the glass and rushing out. 

Boom! 

In the instant they leaped out of the window, two bazookas hurtled toward them, obliterating courtyard No. 8 in a devastating explosion. The flames erupted, reaching for the sky like a nuclear blast. 

The powerful shockwave spread like ripples, sending the two flying in mid-air like disconnected kites, and they crashed into the pond behind the house in a miserable state. 

Haylan held Reign tightly and emerged from the water. 

In that moment, his attention was drawn to two masked experts of the general class, brandishing blades and cornering 

Landon 

Landon fought desperately, resembling a trapped beast, with several deep and bone-revealing knife wounds on his body. 

It was evident that the villa’s rockery and mechanisms were all destroyed! 

Meanwhile, a swarm of over a dozen mercenaries was closing in on Haylan’s direction. 

Suddenly, an eerie flute sound came from a distance.
