The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458 

When he saw Seward Zabel talking just now, he already had a rough guess. 

Seward lit a cigarette and gripped it with his lips. He then took a puff and said in a low voice, “Everyone is panicking now. If we don’t pacify them first, the consequences will be unimaginable.” 

He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked at Haylan with an almost pleading gaze. “Mr. Jaber, you’re so resourceful. You can definitely turn things around. I’m begging you to help us.” 

Haylan suppressed the exasperation in his heart. 

He had a sudden urge to slap Seward. 

This was the Swan Cruise Ship that the Zabel family had spent a fortune to engage some company to custom-make. It was also a party that the Zabel family had organized single-handedly. 

Now that something had happened, this Zabel family member was actually requesting Haylan to clean up the mess! 

What kind of logic was that? 

Why was Seward so shameless? 

“Mr. Jaber, as long as you help us this time, the Zabel family will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives. We will definitely do anything to repay you,” Seward said. 

“Get someone to distribute the food to the others first. There will be a way,” Haylan said. 

Seward looked at Haylan with wild joy in his eyes. 

As he looked at Haylan’s calm demeanor, Seward could tell that Haylan definitely had a way to bring everyone back to the 

shore. 

When he thought of this, Seward’s heart completely calmed down. He thanked Haylan again and again. 

After he finished his cigarette, Seward immediately called for the service staff who were still alive to bring out a lot of food for those rich tycoons to eat and drink. 

Under the comforting effect of the food, everyone’s fearful emotions were finally alleviated. 

“Haylan, do you really have a way?” Reign Labenz asked with a frown. 

Haylan also lit a cigarette and said with a grim expression, “There is a way, but it’s not so good.” 

“What way?” Reign asked curiously. 

All communication devices and the AIS equipment were destroyed. How could Haylan possibly have a way to turn such a huge Swan Cruise ship around and return to the shore? 

“We wait!” As Haylan smoked, he stared at the sea with a profound gaze. 

“We wait?” 

“The high seas do not come under any state’s jurisdiction and are not protected by the laws of any state. However, as long as we wait for the ship to leave the high seas and enter the territorial waters of other states, we will catch the attention of the coast guard, and from there, we can return to our home country.” 

“We don’t have a power source. Are we simply relying on drifting aimlessly like this to reach another state’s territorial waters? How long is this going to take?” 

“Therefore, we need to use the not-so-good way.” 

Haylan took a deep drag on his cigarette and blew out a plume of smoke. 

To be honest, if not for the fact that they might end up drifting for too long, Haylan really did not want to use the second 

method. 

“What way?” Reign was surprised momentarily. 

Haylan did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Xander Zoran and nodded imperceptibly. 

Without another word, Xander immediately took out a pistol from his pocket, aimed it at the sky, and fired. 

An incredibly gorgeous beam of light shot into the sky and soared into the clouds before exploding, transforming into a dazzling rainbow that streaked across the sky. 

A flare? 

Reigh looked at the rainbow in the sky and then at Xander and Haylan. Her eyes were filled with shock 

These two guys were actually acquainted with each other?
