The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 436

Chapter 436 

After seeing Petes’s tattoo, Haylan knew the Bloody Devil mercenary group was about to strike. 

He did not expect them to act so quickly. After just two hours, they began to take action. The rich people hadn’t yet started their discussions. 

“What do you mean an attack? Bandits have come to the ship to attack us?” 

Christine saw the explosion, and her expression changed drastically. She was so terrified; she quickly put on her clothes. 

In the past, while on a mission to a small war-torn country, she was attacked and was almost killed by stray bullets and explosions. 

She would have died in that country if her boss had not spent all that money to hire Haylan to protect her. 

Now that it was happening again, she was overwhelmed with fear as she recalled memories from the past. 

“That’s right. A gathering of millionaires is the perfect place for bandits to attack,” Haylan said. 

BOOM! 

As they spoke, they heard another earth-shattering explosion. 

The entire Swan Cruise ship began to shake and sink, causing many glass bottles in the room to fall to the ground and 

shatter 

Christine lost her balance as the ship shook: she fell into Haylan’s arms. 

Haylan held onto Christine He had a solemn expression as he stood firm and steady. It was as if his feet were rooted to the ground 

No matter how much the ship plunged, he did not fall. He was as stable as a mountain. 

After a little while, the ship stopped rocking and finally stabilized 

The room was a mess, and all the items that had fallen to the ground were now completely broken. 

“W-What’s going on? Our ship is also being attacked? Christine looked even more frightened. She felt uneasy and gripped Haylan’s hand even tighter 

Im here. Don’t be afraid,” said Haylan. 

Suddenly, they heard footsteps coming from outside, and their door was kicked open 

A mercenary appeared at the door masked and fully armed. He raised his gun and pointed it at Haylan and Christine. He then shouted. “You two, get out immediately! 

There was an emblem of a skull and crossbones on the left side of his shirt. 

It was the Bloody Devil mercenary group! 

Haylan grimaced at the mercenary 

“Bastard, are you refusing to leave? You are begging to die!” 

Just as Haylan was hesitating whether to obey or resist, he heard another mercenary next door shout. 

The sound of gunshots and screams followed 

“You don’t know what’s good for you. You want to die”” 

That’s what the mercenary yelled after the gunshots and cries. 

It was clear the mercenary had murdered the person in the next room! 

When Christine heard the person scream, she was even more shaken. She grabbed Haylan even harder. 

The mercenary standing at their door sneered and raised his gun at Haylan. “Did you hear that? Im warning you, raise your hands now and follow my lead or else I will do the same thing to you” 

“Where are you taking us?” Haylan asked. 

Just then, a cold voice came from the mercenary’s earpiece. “The boss has instructed us not to show any mercy. Kill anyone who dares not to leave or asks useless questions!” 

As soon as the mercenary heard this, he gave Haylan a deadly look and aimed his gun at Haylan again. 

Puff! 

The moment the mercenary raised his gun, it felt like a thin silver needle had pierced his palm. 

The mercenary lost control of his finger and could not pull the trigger.

“Wh-what?” The mercenary looked confused. 

He tried to use whatever energy he could muster, but his fingers still couldn’t move. He thought quickly and tried to use his other hand to pull out another pistol from his waist. 

Before he could strike, Haylan had already appeared before him like a ghost. With one blow to the neck, Haylan shattered the bones in the mercenary’s neck. 

The mercenary’s eyes were wide open, and his mouth was filled with blood. He was dead when he fell to the ground. Haylan took the clothes off the mercenary’s body and put them on himself. 

Then, he threw the mercenary’s corpse into the bathroom and turned to Christine. “Stay here and don’t move. I’ll come back for you later!” 

“I’m scared. Don’t leave me!” Christine said as she grabbed Haylan’s hand. Her eyes were filled with fear. 

After what just happened, why would she stay in the room alone? 

Her intuition told her it was safer to stay by Haylan’s side. 

“Alright, you can come with me, but I need you to pretend I’m holding you hostage. Do you understand?” Haylan said. Christine nodded willingly. 

Without hesitation, Haylan covered her face, pulled her close to him, and dragged her out of the room like a hostage. 

They exited the room and realized how many mercenaries were on the ship. Some were dragging people out of their rooms and into the spacious corridor. 

Other mercenaries were forcing people out of the rooms with guns held to their heads. 

There were too many mercenaries, more than thirty of them. 

Each one of them was fully armed. 

Haylan and Christine managed to blend into the crowd without looking suspicious. 

One of the millionaires began to resist but was immediately shot in the head by the mercenary next to him. Blood splattered around the corridor. 

The security guards that the Zabel family hired had all been killed, and their bodies were lying in the corridor in pools of blood. 

The scenes were tragic; the ship looked like hell on Earth. 

The situation had all the tycoons and millionaires so petrified that their faces turned pale, and no one dared to resist again. Haylan looked around and frowned. 

There were too many mercenaries on the first floor. Knowing that this ship had at least five or six floors, there must have been at least 200 mercenaries. 

This fleet had three ships, so there could have been at least 600 mercenaries altogether. 

Haylan scowled at the thought of this. 

Where did the Bloody Devil mercenary group come from? They were known to be active in Aestica. They obviously had many general-class experts and could even mobilize over 600 at one time. 

This was the full strength of a battalion 

More importantly, how did they get to this fleet of ships in the first place? There were so many of them. 

How did the Zabel family’s personnel and security not notice them coming? 

These mercenaries appeared out of nowhere with so many weapons. They killed the Zabel family’s staff and security. Their plan to take over the ship was well organized; it was an evident pre-planned attack.
