The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 753

Chapter 753

Haylan’s eyes were frigid as he spoke.

Within just one day and night, he had noticed the peculiarities of the wall.

If possible, he wished to visit the site himself and investigate the secret of the wall.

However, he had to stay vigilant of Bernard at all times to prevent any harm from befalling Reign.

So he asked Landon to investigate.

“Don’t worry. I will find out what’s going on there,” Landon said in a deep voice.

“Alright. I’ll leave it to you then. I’ll keep a close watch on Bernard, and if he initiates any action, I’ll respond immediately.” Haylan stated.

“Be careful.

“You too. Let me know if I can help.”

“I will.”

Haylan ended the call, polished off his hamburger, and resumed his surveillance on Bernard.

As long as he kept an eye on Bernard, he would definitely be able to save Reign.

Moreover, if Bernard appeared to be normal, he could assume that Reign was temporarily out of danger.

That was a stroke of good luck in the midst of misfortune!

“You’re just putting on an act, aren’t you? Well, in that case, let’s see how long you can keep up the act,” Haylan murmured to himself.

He fixed his gaze upon Bernard, and the longer he looked at him, the more inscrutable he appeared.

Under the influence of Haylan’s soul control technique, Bernard was functioning perfectly. He was still able to go about his daily routine of working, resting, eating, and sleeping without any issues. That indicated his exceptional spiritual strength.

Perhaps Bernard was just pretending to be hypnotized when he was hit by Haylan’s soul control. He wasn’t really hypnotized.

Haylan thought, “It seems that his physical strength is, at best, that of a three–star General. However, his spiritual strength is so potent that even I am unable to subdue it.

“He must be concealing his true strength. No doubt, he’s a peerless expert. It’s possible that he deliberately conceals his supposed three–star General cultivation level.”

Haylan cast a frosty glare at Bernard.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of arousal.

For the first time in years, he confronted an adversary that was impossible to comprehend. He felt as though he had finally found his equal.

He had not felt such a sense of danger for a long time!

Engaging in a challenging battle with an adversary of equal or higher caliber would be beneficial. It would prevent his body from succumbing to rust./

“Bernard, you look so normal. Did you notice that I was staring at you?” Haylan smiled.

Bernard was a start man. He knew what he could and could not do.

He would only act so normal if he knew that he was being targeted.

As Haylan was musing over this, Bernard seemed to catch onto his thoughts. He opened the window and turned his gaze towards Haylan.

Their eyes locked in a momentary gaze.

Haylan’s body quaked violently. It was akin to the sensation of being fixated by a ferocious predator lurking in the shadows. Every hair on his body stood on end, and his skin was covered in goosebumps.

How dangerous!

Aprofound feeling of danger engulfed him, triggering his heart to race uncontrollably.

“Impressive. It’s no surprise that he was able to deceive Rei. He’s quite cunning. Haylan murmured.

This sense of danger could intimidate regular people.
