The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 978

Upon hearing the command, the subordinate immediately went forward and began to unpack the package.

What could this possibly be?” the subordinate said.

As Robert looked at the rectangular package, he felt a vague sense of unease.

Ever since Steve arrived at Lightdom City, Robert’s status had been plummeting rapidly.

If this were in the past, who would dare to throw things at his mansion?

Now that various influential figures had arrived, his residence had been attacked several times.

Three days ago, a few scions from Ulinas also came to his residence and made some humiliating gestures.

In addition, some people also threw rotten tomatoes and eggs at his mansion, saying derogatory words and threatening to get rid of him for the sake of all people. They saw him as a scourge.

Not only did those scions from Ulinas say such things to him, but even some ordinary commoners dared to curse at him.

Robert was furious when faced with these vulgarities and insults.

However, he did not dare to act rashly.

Being an old fox, Robert thought a lot and naturally understood that these commoners were merely pawns manipulated by certain individuals.

Once he harmed those commoners, those scions who were eager to accomplish something noteworthy would have a legitimate reason to eliminate him and take his assets for themselves.

After all, in these few days, Steve had received many influential and prominent families from Lightdom City, except him.

Steve was clearly treating him as an enemy.

“Damn it.” Robert said. “When will Justin publicly announce that I am associated with them?” He clenched his fist, feeling very annoyed.

As the underground king of Lightdom City, he had never felt so frustrated before.

Now, he only needed Justin to say something. He would then have powerful backing.

While Robert was thinking, his subordinate had already appeared and completely unpacked the package.

After seeing the contents of the package, the subordinate’s expression changed drastically. He was so frightened that he fell

to the ground. He said with a trembling voice, “Oh no, Mr. Bard. Take, take a look…”

As Robert leaned in to take a look, his pupils also contracted intensely. He was extremely terrified.

The person in the package was Justin, whom he had been thinking about just now.

At this moment, Justin was in a daze. His eyes were especially dull. Drool was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

He kept nibbling on his hand and muttered to himself like a fool. He said, “Yummy. Haha. Yummy…

While speaking, he continued to forcefully gnaw on his own fingers, biting them until they were bloody

“Why is he like this?” Robert said.

When Robert saw Justin’s condition, his expression changed. He hurriedly squatted down and carefully examined Justin’s body.

He was injured.

There was also a wound on his head.

However, the clothes were intact.

This meant that Justin had been beaten up by his opponent in an instant.

“Boss, are you alright?” Robert said as he tapped Justin’s face and kept calling out.

However, no matter how he shouted, Justin could not recover from that dazed state. He still looked like he was in a dare.

“Quick, send Boss to the hospital for a checkup, Robert said. His expression changed.

Justin encountered problems in Robert’s territory. If the Bennett family were to hold him accountable for what happened to Justin, he would definitely be in deep trouble and face severe consequences.

When the subordinate heard that, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly carried Justin and immediately took him out

Robert did not dare to be negligent either. He quickly walked out and followed his subordinate to escort Justin to the best.

hospital in Light dom City. He found the best doctor and asked the doctor to examine and treat Justin.

The doctor was a friend of Robert’s. He did not dare to be negligent. He quickly conducted an examination. He then used various instruments to scan Justin.

Soon, the results were out.

The doctor’s expression was extremely grim when he saw all the results.

What’s wrong? Robert hurriedly asked.

The doctor’s expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, “There’s nothing wrong with Mr. Bennett’s body. It’s just some superficial injuries.

“But there’s something wrong with his brain.”

“What’s the problem? Robert said. His heart skipped a beat. He quickly asked for more details.

The doctor took out an MRI film and placed it under the light. He pointed to a region of the brain and said to Robert, “Mr. Bennett’s brain doesn’t have cerebral hemorrhage or ischemic lesions.

“But when we examined him, we found something strange about that area. The cells are still alive, but there are no brainwaves at all

This area is responsible for normal human thinking. The absence of brainwaves here indicates that the cells in this region. have lost all functionality.

“In other words, Mr. Bennett is already a demented person.”

Boom!

The statement struck Robert like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned and almost causing him to collapse. His face turned pale.

He thought, “Justin was still fine when he arrived at Lightdom City. He was high–spirited, exuding a sense of dominance and self–assurance.

“Ive got no idea whom he has encountered. He has become a demented person.”

“It’s over,” he said. “Everything is over.”

Robert’s face was pale, and his heart was beating wildly. He felt a sense of despair.

Once the Bennett family found out about this, they would take revenge on him. He would then be in serious trouble.

Indeed, his business empire in Lightdom City might be formidable and could exert control over many people forcefully.

However, he was just a small fry before the Bennett family.

Robert was sweating profusely, and his heart began to beat wildly.

After an unknown period of time, Robert finally brought his wandering mind to the present. He lit a cigarette and stuffed it in his mouth. He used his trembling lips to take a drag. “Who did it?” he thought. “Who exactly attacked Mr. Bennett?

“That person beat up Mr. Bennett to this extent and even sent him to my residence. What does this mean? Does that

want to attack me as well?”

person

At the thought of this, Robert felt distressed. He had a sense of being watched by an extraordinary presence. He felt a chill run through his entire body.

He thought. “If even a powerful scion like Mr. Bennett has been beaten like this, then I’m even less of a match for that enemy.

“Now, whether it’s that person making a move or the Bennett family, I’m doomed!”

As this thought crossed Robert’s mind, he felt an even greater sense of hopelessness.

After half a lifetime of navigating the martial world, he now truly felt powerless and unable to do anything.

He had submitted many requests for an audience with Steve, but Steve did not summon him. He then knew that he was being targeted.

It had not been easy to finally receive a scion like Justin, but he ended up becoming demented.

He felt that he was truly old and could no longer adapt to this era.

It was at this monent that he received a call from an unknown caller.

Robert looked at the call notification and vaguely felt that this call was very important to him.

He thought for a moment. Eventually, he gritted his teeth and picked up the call.

Xander’s voice could be heard from the phone. Xander said, “Old man, Mr. Jaber wants me to tell you that some things can hever be said
