The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549 

Haylan was too curious. 

A chicken could play basketball. No matter how Haylan thought about it, this matter was especially strange. It made his curiosity explode. 

Haylan really wanted to see how a chicken played basketball. 

Linda looked at Haylan’s curious gaze and could not help but ask curiously. “Mr. Jaber, don’t you usually watch videos or watch entertainment news?” 

“Entertainment news? Why am I watching those things?” Haylar’s expression was calm. 

“Huh? Aren’t you interested in these things?” Linda asked. 

“Entertainment is one of the methods used by those in power to paralyze the common people and their subordinates. Promoting entertainment news and entertainment celebrities in large numbers is to make young people lose their fighting spirit and interest. From there, it will be easier to manage those young people, Haylan said calmly. 

Linda did not expect Haylan to say such words. She was stunned and frowned. “Wasn’t entertainment spiritual food?” 

When Haylan heard that, he smiled disdainfully and said, “Spiritual food should be something more meaningful. For example, dreams, aspirations, the vast might sky, and the firmament all require our exploration. 

“For example, there are still the country and people that we need to protect! 

“For example, there’s still justice for us to uphold! 

“The stronger the youth, the stronger the country! 

“The Longhard Kingdom has to cultivate positive thinking and open thinking among teenagers. 

“If entertainment celebrities are treated as a teenager’s dream, will that teenager still be strong? Will the country still thrive? 

“Putting all this aside, have the entertainment celebrities created any value? 

“If the country is in danger, will celebrities stand up to protect the country and the people? 

“I don’t know about others’ answers, but to me, in times of war, celebrities who are supported by tens of thousands of people are not as useful as the most ordinary soldiers!” 

Upon hearing Haylan’s words, Linda fell silent. 

Haylan was right. 

If the country was really in danger, most of the celebrities would not fight for the country. They might be the first to escape overseas to avoid being implicated. 

However, such people were constantly praised by the higher-ups and took up so many resources. 

For a moment, Linda seemed to have thought of something. 

Seeing Linda like this, Haylan did not continue the topic and changed the topic. “You haven’t told me yet. Does your chicken really know how to play basketball?” 

Linda also came back to her senses. She smiled and said, “My chicken is on the top floor. Come in first. I’ll show you.” 

Without another word, Linda opened her door and walked in. 

Haylan did not say much and followed. 

After the two of them entered, the door slammed shut. 

This was a rather advanced electronic sensor door. As long as humans entered, the door would close. 

After Haylan entered, he took a closer look and realized that the buildings here were quite retro. There were mountains, rivers, and pavilions. They were well-arranged and mysterious. 

“My god, this is the layout of gathering wealth from all over the world, changing one’s fate. 

Haylan was shocked when he saw the layout of the courtyard. 

As long as no one destroyed this layout, it would accumulate a large amount of luck over time. In less than twenty years, the Korran family would definitely produce a great figure, protecting the family for hundreds of years. 

This was the work of a great geomancer. 

For the elders in Linda’s family to be able to set up such a geat layout, it was obvious that they were extraordinary 

The Korran family was not to be underestimated. 

“Officer Korran, did you renovate your house yourself?” Haylan asked. 

“No, my grandfather went to a faraway place and found a geomancer to renovate this house.” 

Linda told the truth and said. “It’s said that in order to invite that geomancer out of seclusion, my grandfather paid a huge price and spent at least… 

With that, Linda raised two fingers. 

“20 million dollars” Haylan was stunned. 

“200 million dollars!” Linda said. 

“That’s worth it. Your grandfather is very long-sighted,” Haylan said calmly. 

200 million dollars in exchange for future generations to produce a generation of heroes and nobles, it was too worth it. 

At the mention of her grandfather, Linda’s eyes were also filled with admiration. She said, “I also think that my grandfather is very long-sighted. In this life, other than Sovereign of Shadows, the person I admire the most is my grandfather.” As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the building and arrived at the elevator. Linda opened the elevator door and waved at Haylan, indicating for Haylan to come in. 

“Rich people are indeed different. You even install elevators in your house,” said Haylan. 

Linda glared at Haylan and said. “As far as I know, there’s an elevator on your fifth floor tool” 

Haylan smiled awkwardly and did not say anything else. 

When Haylan bought the villa, Lydia had already installed an elevator. Although Haylan’s house could not compare to Linda’s house, it could be considered a real mansion. 

Haylan walked into the elevator. 

Linda pressed the button for the seventh floor. The elevator door closed, and the elevator began to move up. 

Haylan was a little excited and bursting with curiosity. 

After leaving Demon’s Den and experiencing countless life-and-drath battles, Haylan had long lost interest in many things. 

Moreover, after Haylan took control of global Shadow Knights, his power reached an unparalleled level. He was not interested in much power or money. Haylan only wanted to return to the city and be filial to his parents so that everyone in, his family could live a good life. 

However, when Haylan heard Linda say that the chicken in her family knew how to play basketball, his curiosity instantly exploded. 

Haylan was very curious. How did the chicken play basketball* 

Had the chicken become a demon? 

Soon, the elevator arrived on the seventh floor. 

As soon as the elevator door opened, music came from the living room. 

Accompanying this sound was the sound of playing basketball.
