The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 981

Haylan looked at the city from afar, taking a drag from his cigarette. His expression was solemn.

He had a heightened sense of intuition. His instincts and judgments had always been accurate.

Now that he sensed that Lightdom City might be in great danger, it meant that the city was now filled with hidden dangers and imminent crises

Hopefully, there won’t be anything major happening.” Haylan said. “I don’t want Shadow Knight to be too involved in Longhard Kingdom’s affairs.”

Haylan looked at the towering King’s Platform in the distance. A hint of quandary flashed across his eyes.

Shadow Knight was very powerful and could dominate the world.

At the end of the day, however, Shadow Knight was not a faction under Longhard Kingdom. If Haylan got too involved with Longhard Kingdom’s affairs, it would likely cause the sovereign of Longhard Kingdom to be displeased. There would then be unnecessary conflicts and disputes.

What worried him the most was how many skilled fighters from God’s Land that were like Terence had actually arrived. Terence was a highly skilled fighter whose cultivation level was at the sixth stage of God Realm. If there were more skilled fighters of that caliber arriving, the entire Longhard Kingdom would be no match for them.

If those skilled fighters were to act on a whim and turn Longhard Kingdom into a battlefield for their hunting, the entire Longhard Kingdom would plunge into misery and suffering.

At this moment, the entire Lightdom City had a calm before the storm. It made him feel a sense of oppression. He vaguely felt as if something big was about to happen.

At the same time, Haylan, who was sitting in the villa, had just finished a call with the security department of Longhard Kingdom. After hanging up, Haylan’s expression was somewhat serious.

“Lord Sovereign of Shadows, is there something wrong?”

At this moment, Amelia walked forward and asked, sounding Haylan out.

“There’s nothing wrong,” Haylan said.

Haylan stood up and spoke with an extremely soleinn tone.

Amelia looked puzzled. “If there isn’t any issue, it should be something to be happy about,” she thought. “Why does my lord have a troubled expression on his face?”

“This calmness is too abnormal,” Haylan muttered to himself. “I feel like there’s a bigger storm coming!”

The so–called calm before the storm was exactly what Haylan was feeling right now.

Steve would be crowned as the king. Representatives from various nations and factions would be in attendance at the event. It was impossible to expect that such a “grand event would occur without any problems. King–Conferring Ceremony might seem glorious, but it was also a battlefield. Many individuals had faced challenges or met unfortunate fates during the final step of achieving kingship.

“For now, we can only wait and see,” Haylan said.

As Haylan spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the phone on the table.

This was a specific phone that only members of Shadow Knights could dial in.

He was waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Just as Haylan was worried, Reign called. “Hubby, are you alright?” she said.

Her voice was filled with concern.

She had listened to Haylan and quickly left that place, not disturbing him while he was working. It was not until two to three hours later that she felt that Haylan’s matter had been resolved. She then contacted Haylan.

“I’m fine,” Haylan said as he smiled. “I’m already back at home. Where are you?”

“I’m back at the office,” Reign said.

“Something big may happen during this period of time,” Haylan said. “Take advantage of this time to quickly absorb the spiritual energy in the gem to strengthen yourself.”

Haylan flicked his cigarette and said, “Where are you staying tonight?”

“At my place,” Haylan said. “What’s the matter?”

“Think of a way to make Lawrence stay out for the night,” Haylan said. “I’ll come to see you tonight.”

At the other end of the line, Reign blushed upon hearing this. She said in a low voice, “Okay.”

When a man and a woman were alone together in a room, especially when both of them were a normal married couple, it was likely that tonight would be an intimate encounter.

However, she was not repulsed by it. Quite the contrary, she was filled with a great sense of anticipation.

After hanging up, she thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and began to choose the pleasure–enhancing outfits that could help the two of them elevate their pleasure.

“Tonight, I must make him even more infatuated with me,” Reign said. “I’ll make him completely enamored with me.

“Nurse outfit? Black stockings? Well, that doesn’t seem like a good idea.

“Cosplay costumes? That doesn’t seem to be good either.”

“Alright, this school uniform is not bad. I’ll take it!”

With three days remaining until Steve’s coronation, Lightdom City International Airport had announced the lifting of travel restrictions for all countries.

After a day–long maintenance operation, it was announced that aircraft from any country were now allowed to land at the airport in Lightdom City for the purpose of attending Steve’s King–Conferring Ceremony.

After the lifting of restrictions, the planes landing at Lightdom Airport did not stop at all, even surpassing the usual operations in terms of volume.

Planes kept coming, one after another, soaring through the sky.

On the first day, a plane adorned with the emblem of a bald eagle landed at the airport. A member of the royal family of Whileal Kingdom quietly left the airport under the protection of the security detail.

In the following days, prominent figures from major nations such as Arctodus Kingdom, Slotania Kingdom, and Perush Kingdom also arrived and landed at the airport. Under the protection of their own security teams and the security teams provided by Longhard Kingdom, they quietly left the airport and proceeded to the designated accommodation.

Lightdom City became extremely lively.

There were people coming and going on the streets. There was a significant increase in tourists from abroad. The coronation of Steve as king was a monumental event that attracted attention from people around the world. Other than prominent figures, some of the big shots from Lightdom City were actively planning and strategizing. All the influential people of Lightdom City were basically putting in a lot of effort to prepare gifts.

Not only did the powerful figures in Lightdom City attach great importance to Steve’s coronation, but many foreign powers had also become aware of it. They expressed their desire to be part of the celebration.

The coronation attracted widespread attention from people around the world.

Countless invitations were sent to Steve’s mansion. Many influential figures in and out of the country wanted to meet Steve at the earliest opportunity.

Some prominent figures were more ostentatious and eager to make their itinerary known to the entire city. There were also some prominent figures who were relatively low–key. No one knew their whereabouts and could only guess.

On the final day before Steve’s coronation, to everyone’s surprise, Lord Supremacy of Longhard Kingdom announced that he would personally visit Lightdom City to participate in the celebration. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Lightdom City was instantly buzzing with excitement.

“Lord Supremacy is actually coming to Lightdom City. This is unbelievable.”

“It’s an honor for the entire Lightdom City and the Sky family as well.”

“Steve’s coronation has actually caught the attention of Lord Supremacy of Longhard Kingdom. How interesting. Haha… For a moment, Lightdom City became extremely lively. Many people came here.

As for the entourage of Lord Supremacy from Longhard Kingdom, they naturally received the highest level of reception. The whole city was bustling with a flurry of vehicles and people, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. However, behind this bustling scene, there were hidden undercurrents and an atmosphere of imminent danger.

10:27

Behind the clear sky of Lightdom City, it was as if a huge dark cloud loomed. It was uncertain when the storm would strike.

Among the important figures from Whileal Kingdom, three individuals had arrived in Lightdom City. The leader among them was known as Earth Dragon. Of course, it was just a title.

Earth Dragon was tall and burly, standing at a height of 6.5 feet. He looked like a towering iron tower, emanating an astonishing aura and exuding an immensely powerful and oppressive presence.
