The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386 

The woman in the crowd was tall and curvy. Her long and smooth legs were especially eye-catching. 

The woman wore a cap and a mask that covered 90 percent of her face. It was impossible to see what she looked like. 

She wandered through the crowd and looked around warily as if defending herself against something. 

Haylan recognized that woman at a glance.. 

Haylan cried inside. That woman is Silver Fox! 

“Isn’t she in Lightdom City? Why is she here? 

“Could it be that Silver Fox receives another mission?” 

Thinking of this, Ilaylan frowned. 

Silver Fox walked around the street and quickly disappeared in front of Haylan. 

Reign asked in curiosity, “What’s wrong? Who did you see?” 

Haylan answered plainly, “Nothing. I mistook a woman for someone else.” 

Haylan thought, “Silver Fox must have her reasons for going to Fostraria from Lightdom City. She might be on a mission. It’s also possible that she just travels or has a date here. 

“Besides, Silver Fox is an assassin. All of her actions are confidential. 

“I can’t disturb Silver Fox if I don’t know if she is on a mission” 

Reign raised her eyebrows and murmured, “Mistaking a woman for someone else?” She was shocked and had complicated feelings. 

Reign felt she was breathing so fast that her chest ached a little. 

At the same time, Reign was a little angry and annoyed. 

Reign thought, “Why does Haylan still have the mood to look at other women when he is hanging out with a stunning and delicate girl like me? 

“Am I unattractive?” 

Thinking of this, Reign glared at Haylan. 

Haylan was stunned and asked, “What’s wrong?” 

Reign said, “Nothing Then she suggested, “People say Flensburg City’s night scenery is great. Why don’t we get on a ship to appreciate the scenery along the Midasard River? I heard the food on the ship is delicious. 

Haylan nodded and agreed, replying, “Sounds great. We can give it a try? 

Then Haylan and Reign went straight to the harbor. They bought tickets, boarded the ship together, and ordered plenty of food. 

As they are, Haylan and Reign admired the night scenery on the river, feeling at ease. 

The night view of the Midasard River was glorious. Along the way, they saw magnificent bridges with flashing lights. It was pleasing to the eye. 

Reign finished the food and went on deck to appreciate the water and the night scenery. She let the night wind blow her hair back. Then she spread her arms wide to feel the touch of the wind. 

Haylan stood beside Reign and looked at her with admiration. 

Haylan thought. “Reign is stunning like a fairy. A remarkable scenery is created with her standing on the deck.” 

The lights from the tall buildings on the shore and those reflected by the water shone on Reign’s face. No words could describe how beautiful Reign was, 

Cluck! Haylan couldn’t help but take a photo of this beautiful scene and the beauty with his phone. 

Haylan did not choose a specific filter or angle. The photo was astonishing even though Haylan did not have any photographic skills. 

Reign turned to look at Haylan and said, “I didn’t expect you to have a hobby of secretly taking photos.” Reign was gently smiling. 

Haylan said, “Who doesn’t like beautiful things? That scene just now was gorgeous” 

Haylan handed his phone over and showed Reign the photo he had taken. 

Reign took a look at it and found it was fabulous. Thus, she smiled and said, “Well, good job. I’ll let you off this time.” 

Reign looked at the dazzling night scenery on both sides and sighed, saying, “It’s been a long time since the last time I was this relaxed. It’s not had to occasionally get on a tour on the river to have fun.” 

Haylan sighed and said, “I haven’t been this relaxed for a long time, either.” 

Haylan had been abroad all these years, doing all the dangerous work like fighting in gun battles. He was tense up every day and could not relax for a second. 

Haylan had to remain vigilant even when he slept. He never slept soundly. 

Haylan would immediately wake up as long as he sensed any movement within a radius of 0.6 miles. 

Now that he was back in the country, Haylan could finally live a normal life and sleep well. It was the first time in his life that he was so relaxed that he could go on a ship to travel along the river and appreciate the stunning night scenery on both sides. 

Reign looked at Haylan in confusion and asked, “You too?” 

Reign thought. Tve been busy with work, so I don’t have time to relax. 

“But why Haylan doesn’t have time?” 

Then Reign suddenly thought of something and asked, “I hadn’t asked you what kind of job you did before you returned to the country” 

Haylan replied, “My job contained lots of fighting and killing.” 

Haylan looked at Reign and said, “I think you should have guessed it. It’s the profession you are thinking.” 

“Were you a mercenary?” asked Reign. 

“Yep!” replied Haylan. 

Reign asked, Then have you heard of the legendary mercenary group? Have you seen the legendary Sovereign of Shadows?” 

Reign’s eyes lit up as she stared at Haylan. 

Especially when Reign mentioned Sovereign of Shadows, her eyes were shining and full of admiration. 

Haylan asked, “You know this person?” 

Reign nodded. She looked like she admired Sovereign of Shadows very much. Then she explained. “Of course, I know this person. I’ve heard of the legend of Sovereign of Shadows. Five years ago, he came out of nowhere. Then he killed ten general-class experts in one battle and became famous. Many factions in extraterritorial battlefields were scared of him. “Later, Sovereign of Shadows led a mysterious mercenary group and completed many impossible missions. 

“In my eyes, Sovereign of Shadows is a legend. He’s my idol! 

“Sovereign of Shadows never gave up when in adversity. He would find an opportunity to break out even when the enemies surrounded him. 

“Mr. Katz told me many stories of Sovereign of Shadows. I was shocked by Sovereign of Shadows’ powerful mindset and decided to learn from him. That’s why I never give up. 

“Sovereign of Shadows teaches me I should never give up no matter how difficult things are. 

“I think of him every time I want to give up. Such a powerful man was also in adversity. However, he never gave up. 

Then Reign paused. She looked at the river and then at the distant night sky. Then she murmured, “If only I could meet him one day.”
