The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 

On the other end of the phone, Jerry Griffith’s heart skipped a beat. “Mr. Jaber, you didn’t forget, did you?” 

Haylan Jaber had won a lot of money at Jerry’s Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market. In addition to his winnings, he was also offered many treats by Jerry, who was hoping that Haylan would become his advisor and help him win a great fortune for the market in the future. 

If Haylan forgot about this, then all of Jerry’s investments would be wasted. 

“I didn’t forget. It’s just that I’ve been a little busy recently.” 

Haylan remained calm and said, “Tell me, how many days until the Gemstone Identification Competition?” 

Hearing the question, Jerry breathed a sigh of relief and said. “Due to the King–Conferring Ceremony, the Gemstone Identification Competition has been delayed and will take place three days before the ceremony.” 

“Im just afraid that you’ll forget about it when the time comes.” 

“So, I wanted to confirm with you in advance about the time of participating in the Gemstone Identification Competition.” 

Due to the ceremony of Sky being conferred as a king, many famous families came from all over the world, along with various wealthy people. 

Therefore, the organizers of the Gemstone Identification Competition increased their publicity efforts and attracted a lot of attention. They expected to make a big profit before the ceremony. 

“Three days before the King–Conferring Ceremony, which means in twelve days?” 

“Yes, it is.” 

“Sure, no problem. I’ll attend the conference then.” 

“Alright, it’s settled then.” 

“No problem.” 

After Haylan replied, he hung up the phone. 

Six days later, he would accompany Reign Labenz to go to the Whileal Kingdom to participate in Josef’s medicine exhibition. He would also visit the Massach General Hospital to save Lawrence Labenz. 

After deducting the two days for the round trip, they still had four days to attend the medicine exhibition and go to the Massach General Hospital to save people. 

Four days would be more than enough. 

At this time, Haylan saw that there were many messages on his phone, including Lydia Riley, Evelyn Schuber, Mia Schmidt, Yvonne Lynch, Ceci Lawson, Ashlee Chace, Perry Felicia, and so on. 

Haylan frowned. 

There were too many messages, and it would take some time to go through all of them. 

Among them, there was also a class group chat from his high school days, with a message count of 999+. 

Haylan clicked into the class group chat and set it to mute. 

Then, he thought for a moment and added Mia and Ceci into the same group. He sent a message. [My place has been quite chaotic lately. The treatment location and time have to be changed.] 

[We can change the time to tomorrow. As for the location, the two of you can discuss where it would be more convenient.] 

He wanted to take care of most trivial matters before going abroad, so he could be carefree. 

Aren’t we going to your place anymore?] Mia replied immediately with a cute puzzled emoji. 

[Things at home have been a little complicated.] Haylan replied 

Recently, the family’s situation was not going too well. Although no one was bullying Tracy Hammond anymore, she still felt a bit down. Every time she saw Haylan, she would ask him if he had found her father. 

And each time Tracy asked about this, Lotus Jaber would show an unpleasant expression. 

Charlie Jaber and Felicia Jaber didn’t look happy either. 

Under such circumstances, of course, Haylan chose to keep the family scandal hidden and didn’t want to involve outsiders. At the very least, he had to wait until he found Liam Hammond or until Lotus started dating another reliable man. 

At this moment, Ceci suddenly replied. [Why don’t you come to my place? I’ve been living alone lately and feel a bit scared.]

[Is it convenient for you to come to your place? Come to mine instead.] Mia replied. 

[Going to your place is even worse. Your production crew has already released the advertisements and promotions. I bet there are many paparazzi waiting downstairs to capture your romantic anecdotes.] 

[You’re currently involved in a scandal with that Landis guy. Aren’t you afraid of being photographed?] 

The two women argued endlessly in the group chat about where to go for treatment. 

Seeing them like this, Haylan couldn’t help but fall silent. 

What was there to argue about? 

They discussed and finally decided to go to the Summer Resort 

[The Summer Resort?] Haylan was stunned. 

[The Summer Resort is the most luxurious and private club in Lightdom City. Many big bosses and celebrities book private rooms there to discuss matters, and it guarantees that there won’t be any paparazzi sneaking photos. It’s very secure!] Mia explained. 

[The Summer Resort is indeed a good choice.] Ceci agreed. 

To be able to eliminate paparazzi, that was impressive. 

Haylan suddenly became interested and asked. In that case, the resort is quite impressive. Who owns it? Robert Bard? Or the Zabel family?] 

Other than the Zabel family and Robert Bard, he could not think of anyone else with such influence in Lightdom City. 

Mia replied. It’s neither. It’s owned by a wealthy young heir from Ulinas.] 

[Within: 

a radius of 18 miles, no force dares to disturb, not even Robert Bard.] 

Upon reading this, Haylan was once again stunned. 

Having lived in Lightdom City for so long and now having some money in his hands, he could be considered rich. 

But he had never heard of the Summer Resort before. 

To be able to make Robert and the Zabel family cautious and not dare to approach to cause trouble, that young heir from Ulinas seemed quite powerful. Could he be a certain prince? 

[Rather than choosing a day, why don’t we meet tonight?] Ceci suddenly suggested. 

[Ceci, are you in such a hurry?] Mia asked. 

I just want to get rid of those tattoos right away. Mr. Jaber, can you do it today? Please.] 

After replying to the message, Ceci even sent a pitiful and begging emoji. 

This was an emoji that she had made herself. It was playful and cute, making one’s heart skip a beat. 

II might not be able to do it today. I have to accompany Ms. Labenz to a meal this afternoon. How about tomorrow?] Haylan replied. 

He had promised Reign that he would accompany her to a meal with an old friend of Albert Labenz. As a man, it was important to keep his word.
