The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 946

Chapter 946

Jerome’s voice carried a hint of curiosity and suspicion as he directed his question toward Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, do you genuinely don’t know or are you feigning ignorance?

Haylan’s response was firin as he shook his head. “I genuinely have no idea.”

Jerry’s brows furrowed as he directed a perplexed gaze at Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, the reward for the Stone King Cup this time is truly remarkable. Are you truly unaware of this?”

Haylan coxinued to shake his head.

The Griffith brothers exchanged a quick glance, their eyes reflecting the mutual astonishment they felt.

How could Haylan not know such an important thing?

Jerome’s restrained expression concealed his thoughts as he elucidated, “The Stone King Cup holds immense significance this time, and the rewards it offers are truly exceptional.

“By participating in the Stone King Cup, you have the chance to catch the attention of the organizers and secure a coveted position in the country’s new department, the Earth Vein Master.

“Furthermore, the gemstones used in the Stone King Cup finals are of exceptional value. Rumor has it that the gemstones alone are worth hundreds of millions, and they will be awarded to the champion.

“Lastly, by winning the Stone King Cup, you not only secure a prize worth tens of millions of dollars, but you also earn the trust of Steve himself. This means you’ll be granted significant authority and command exclusive resources and forces as a trusted aide of the Earth Vein Masters.

“These three conditions were publicized just four days ago, and the news quickly spread throughout the city, if not the entire country.

“In essence, winning the Stone King Cup will propel you to the pinnacle of success.

“Mr. Jaber, you really don’t know?

Four days ago?

Haylan smiled bitterly and said, “Four days ago, I was still at Whileal Kingdom.”

When the Griffith brothers heard this, they understood.

No wonder Haylan didn’t know the importance of Stone King Cup. It turned out that Haylan was overseas at that time. “What’s an Earth Vein Master?” Haylan asked.

Jerome elucidated. “The Earth Vein Master is merely a colloquial term we use. Officially, it is known as the Geological Investigation Bureau, responsible for surveying and monitoring the country’s mountains and rivers to locate the coveted dragon vein.

“Their job is to seek the dragon and strike its acupoint and nail something to death!”

“Something?”

“According to legend, prolonged exposure to the dragon vein can cause a transformation, turning ordinary beings into extraordinary dragons. The descendants of those buried within this dragon vein possess the potential to become formidable individuals. The task of the Geological Investigation Bureau is to locate such dragon veins and neutralize the imminent transformation, ensuring that the potential dragon is kept at bay!”

“Why?”

“By sealing off the dragon vein, any possibility of a new king emerging is eliminated. The country will remain stable, and Steve will remain on the throne.”

Haylan frowned slightly when he heard this.

Were these people all so superstitious?

The layout was indeed infinitely useful, capable of altering one’s destiny and bringing fortune to one’s family.

The flow of the dragon vein was originally a natural phenomenon. By forcibly severing the dragon vein, its natural course would be disrupted.

However, the dragon vein could not be severed or halted.

If severed in one location, the dragon vein would gather and flow elsewhere.

Eventually, the dragon vein would converge at an elusive point, giving rise to a new emperor.

This was the immutable law of nature, an inevitability that could not be escaped.

Indeed, the rise and fall of dynasties was an eternal cycle. With the passage of time, new talents would emerge, challenging the existing order and bringing about the transformation of dynasties.

It was simply wrong for Steve to establish this so–called Earth Vein Master,
