The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 748

Chapter 748

Haylan kept smoking one cigarette after another, but he couldn’t find anything suspicious about Bernard.

Bernard’s routine was quite ordinary. He made no effort to search for Reign. Instead, his days were filled with meetings, consultations, hospital rounds, and various other tasks. He was incredibly busy.

Bernard’s life was too normall

It was so normal that it almost seemed abnormal!

Haylan’s gaze became colder and colder.

Most of the people who were forcibly hypnotized by his soul control would suffer mental damage. It was impossible for them to recover so well within a day.

However, Bernard had not only recovered, but he could also work normally. It was obvious that he was abnormal. “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to fool me.” Haylan smoked with a cold gaze.

The more he watched Bernard, the more he felt that something was wrong with him. But in the short term, he could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

However, he firmly believed that as long as he followed Bernard, even if Bernard captured and imprisoned Reign, he would not have the time to do anything to her.

If Bernard tried to harm Reign, Haylan would quickly step in to save her.

When Reign woke up from a coma, she felt a splitting headache, as if her head was about to explode.

The side effects of the medicine she had taken previously were especially strong.

Gritting her teeth against the pain, she sat up and looked around.

What she saw made her heart sink.

Reign found herself in a steel cage that hung from four chains. The scene looked like a bat hanging upside down from a cliff.

There was enough water and food in the cage for her to drink and eat for the next three days.

Below the cage was a pool of unknown depth.

The strangest thing was that the pool was blood–red.

The most terrifying thing was that this steel cage was in a huge underground cave.

The cave had many small holes that let the light shine in, making certain parts of it quite bright.

In contrast, there were parts of the cave that were incredibly dark. It was so pitch–black that even the light couldn’t reach those areas. It was impossible to see anything, not even one’s own fingers.

There were more than a hundred steel cages like hers. They were densely packed and lined up. It was especially spectacular, but it also made one’s hair stand on end.
