The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 953

Chapter 953

After seeing this message, Morris Rodriguez discreetly put away his phone and scanned everyone in the room. His gaze finally landed on Haylan Jaber, and a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

Not only Morris but also Huck Alexander and Chambers Anderson. All three of them coincidentally stared at Haylan, their eyes filled with killing intent.

In contrast, Four–sea Traveler and Lindsey Scott remained calm and did not pay excessive attention to Haylan. However, their gazes were full of vigilance as they observed the other participants.

All five of them harbored intense hostility towards others.

Haylan stood in the corner on the southeast side and ignored the others. Instead, he looked at the raw stone beneath the lid, his curiosity piqued.

The stones beneath each lid were all crimson in color in this area.

These raw stones are even more difficult to discern than the previous black ones!

However, he could vaguely sense the majestic spiritual energy contained within these raw stones.

“I wonder what kind of gemstones will be revealed.”

“If all of them turn out to be spirit stones, that would be fantastic.”

Haylan Jaber stared at the raw stones, contemplating and anticipating in his heart.

With his current strength, if he wanted to make further progress, he would need to rely on external forces to gather the immense spiritual energy from the outside world, condensing it within his own body and transforming it into formidable magical power for his breakthrough.

The spiritual energy contained within spirit stones is much more abundant and pure compared to the usual external spiritual power.

Even if he did not use these spirit stones for cultivation, using them to create amulets or talismans for Reign, his parents, and others would provide them with enhanced safety.

Haylan’s anticipation grew stronger, and a smile formed on his lips.

Haylan Jaber’s anticipation grew stronger, and a smile formed on his lips.

Seeing that Haylan could still smile, Ivan had an even colder expression in his eyes, and his killing intent grew sharper.

Huck, Chambers, and Morris, all of them belonging to the Demigod lineage, had come to participate in the Gemstone Identification Competition to claim the Stone King Cup for themselves, ensuring that their faction, as the organizers, would not suffer any losses.

Moreover, Steve’s original intention was to use these three individuals as sharpening stones to test if there were any hidden Earth Vein Masters across the country.

If any were found, they would be quickly subdued, and their power utilized to stabilize the dragon vein, allowing him to be a king for a lifetime.

If those people refused to submit, he would order the three individuals to assassinate the other skilled Earth Vein Masters. Ivan was present at the scene to supervise the performance of these three top experts and to discover more skilled Earth Vein Masters.

On the other side…….

Outside the greenhouse in the Stone Arena, in a villa nestled in the mountains, Steve was watching the surveillance footage

of the Stone Arena.

He was calmly eating steak, and while eating, he asked the Chief of Staff in front of him. “Did we make any progress today?” The Chief of Staff handed Steve a file and said, “Based on the competitions on both sides, we have discovered many outstanding contestants. This file contains my investigation of them. Please have a look, Demigod

Steve casually tosses the file aside without even glancing at it and said, “No need to look. Just give me an oral report” The Chief of Staff, feeling helpless, could only speak up, saying, “At the Fostraria arena, four mysterious experts have emerged, among whom the most enigmatic is a girl named Alice Parker.

“This woman had an ordinary background in the Longhard Kingdom. Just two years ago, she was an average citizen. However, within these two years, she seems to have transformed, greatly enhancing her strength and exhibiting extraordinary sensitivity to raw stones and spiritual energy.

“Most notably, she managed to secure the backing of a tycoon from the Slotania Kingdom With the substantial financial support from the Slotania Kingdom, she surpassed other contestants and made it into the finals
