Chapter 404 Mercenary King Invincible

• Xander possessed unparalleled strength, fearlessly facing every foe that crossed his path. But now was not the moment to show off his strength. The Sovereign of Shadows had entrusted him with safeguarding Sybil and Reign. However, if he were to leave their side in the presence of gun-wielding mercenaries, he couldn’t guarantee the women’s well-being. “With such a formidable group of general-class experts, these mercenaries must have an impressive reputation. But why haven’t I ever heard of them?” Xander pondered, his gaze fixed on the mercenaries, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He immediately recognized the formidable strength of the four sword-wielding general-class experts stationed at the main entrances, north, south, east, and west, each boasting a minimum four-star power level. They would be like mighty warlords at that level of expertise, even in the vast expanse of the extraterritorial battlefield. As fate would have it, these four extraordinary experts had come together, bound by loyalty to a single mercenary group. The origins of a mercenary group like this were intriguing, leaving one to ponder deeply. Sybil couldn’t contain her excitement as she looked at the multitude of mercenaries before her. Was this what they called a kidnapping? The air was thick with tension! The frontier was a land of gripping duels and righteous retribution, where justice prevailed, and swords clashed! However, as she witnessed the countless lives being extinguished, her face grew pale with terror: She clutched Xander’s hand tightly, her eyes wide with fear, and she dared not even draw a breath.
• As a princess who grew up in the royal palace, she had never faced the storms of life or endured any wounds. She was so tender-hearted that she couldn’t harm even the tiniest creature, like an ant. Now, faced with the gruesome sight of countless lives being taken, she was overcome with sheer terror, her essence shaken to the core. “Xander, what’s our next move: Sybil’s voice quivered with fear. “Don’t worry. We’re here for you. Nothing’s going to harm you,” Xander reassured her. “We?” Sybil raised an eyebrow, her confusion evident. Xander nodded, choosing not to elaborate. With only himself to rely on, he could confidently lead Reign and Sybil to break free from the encirclement, even if it meant braving the open sea. However, the Sovereign of Shadows still lurks aboard this vessel. This mercenary group was a minor obstacle to him, especially with the Sovereign by his side. Though a bit scared, Reign showed more composure after enduring the trials of foreign conflicts. She spoke steadily, “Mr. Zoran, we need to find a way to reach out to Haylan.” “We’ll be safe if we have Haylan by our side.” “Ms. Labenz, do you have a close relationship with Haylan?” Xander inquired with curiosity. “He’s the chief of our security team at the company, and he’s come to my rescue in the past,” Reign nodded.
• “Is he your man?” Sybil raised her head with curiosity. “Ms. Labenz, are you… Are you in a relationship with Haylan?” Xander’s eyes widened in astonishment. This was Reign! Reign blushed and chose not to answer that question. Instead, she shifted the conversation, saying. “This is not the moment to dwell on that. Our priority should be finding a way to get out of here.” As she spoke, frustration welled inside her, and she couldn’t help but wonder, “With everything that has happened, could Haylan still be out there, having a date with Christine?” “We’re trapped for the moment. Let’s keep a watchful eye and assess the situation before taking any action,” Xander said composedly. Reign’s brow furrowed slightly as she cast a glance in that direction. Inside the casino, a gathering of over thirty billionaires was taking place. Josef, Sharvin, and the others were held captive in the center, heavily guarded, and separated from the rest of the wealthy elite. The division between them was stark and unmistakable At this moment, the casino was swarmed with over two hundred heavily armed mercenaries, their ranks tightly packed and their aura of menace permeating the air. Facing this formidable assembly, even the most seasoned billionaires quivered in fear. A contingent of mercenaries heavily guarded each of the four entrances.
