The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 444

The crowd, including Xander, Sybil, Reign, and the rest, were struck with shock and disbelief upon hearing Buckminster’s words, their faces contorting with a mix of surprise and concern.

Reign, in particular, grew deathly pale, her complexion resembling a sheet of paper as she trembled with shock and disbelief

Her fingers clenched onto the edge of Xander’s coat, her grip firm and desperate. “Mr. Zoran, what’s my next move?”

Approaching Buckminster to engage in a game would undoubtedly lead to an inevitable demise.

Avoiding participation in the game wouldn’t guarantee her escape from the imminent danger either.

There appeared to be no way out but death, regardless of her choices.

Xander’s gaze darkened, reflecting his inner conflict. He whispered, ‘Our current hiding place is secure for now. We’ll bide our time and observe the situation”

They found refuge behind a remarkably concealed hiding spot, with a formidable black iron mesh in front of them, effectively blocking their line of sight.

The perspective from where they hid afforded them a complete and unobstructed view of the events unfolding outside.

Yet, their presence remained elusive from an external perspective, concealed from view and beyond detection.

“Is Reign, or rather, Ms. Labenz, in attendance?”

Buckminster’s sharp eyes swept over the scene, searching for any sign of Reign, but came up empty. His gaze snapped toward Fletcher, a glimmer of concern flickering. “Did anyone slip away before we had this place surrounded?” Fletcher shook his head. “No one escaped.”

In a sudden revelation, his voice softened to a whispered tone. “However, it has come to my knowledge that Haylan, who accompanies Reign, is an exceptional individual with considerable strength, shrouded in an air of mystery.”

“Maybe that fella done made off with Reign.”

“No chance!” Buckminster shook his head in disbelief.

With a team of experts strategically positioned to block every avenue of escape, there was no sign of Reign and Haylan slipppang away.

Furthermore, he had just received word that Haylan had already departed from the casino with Christine before their intervention
