Chapter 406 Mercenary King Invincible
- Reign’s sheer benevolence left her incapable of tolerating the notion of someone dying on her behalf. Therefore, when she heard Fletcher and Buckminster discussing their intent to take a life, she could no longer contain herself and rose from her seat. Xander, visibly troubled, instinctively brought his hand to his forehead. In the end, they couldn’t hold Reign back! Sybil stood by, witnessing Reign’s bold move with a mix of surprise and disbelief. It was clear that by stepping forward in this situation, Reign was risking her life entirely. What kind of courage did it take to be willing to do that? Sybil couldn’t comprehend it, yet her eyes held a deep admiration as she looked at Reign. “Ms. Labenz, what on earth are you doing? Are you throwing your life away?” Xander questioned with concern. “If I don’t stand up, someone will die because of me, Mr. Zoran. I’ll draw their attention while you escape and find Haylan Reign’s expression remained serene as she spoke softly, “Once you find Haylan, we’ll both be safe. Until then, I’ll do whatever it takes to buy you time.”
- Xander was momentarily stunned. Did Reign truly have such unwavering faith in Haylan? Did this woman also happen to know the identity of the Sovereign? With a swift swish, Reign stood up, instantly capturing the undivided attention of everyone in the room. A collective gasp of astonishment swept through the casino staff, their faces filled with incredulity and surprise. Had they been aware of such a place beforehand, they would have eagerly ventured into it without hesitation. Buckminster smiled and quipped, “When did Ms. Labenz sneak off to that corner?” Fletcher and the rest of the group exchanged perplexed looks, their faces reflecting a shared sense of bewilderment. A concealed hiding spot existed in that location that somehow eluded their search. “Damn it!” Sharvin’s countenance twisted in utter disbelief among the crowd as he witnessed Reign bravely stepping forward. He possessed the key to unraveling the mystery of the Ghost Orchid, but to successfully pluck the Ghost Orchid, he would require assistance from Reign. If Reign were to meet her demise now, it would spell the end of everything.
- All his intricate plotting would be utterly destroyed in one fell swoop. “Eden. Listen up. No matter what occurs, even if it means facing death itself, you must ensure the safety of Reign. Let nothing harm her under any circumstances.” Sharvin murmured under his breath. “Got it,” Eden nodded in agreement. Reign deliberately averted her gaze from Xander and fixed her eyes on Buckminster in the distance. Her voice lowered as she uttered, “Mr. Zoran, listen carefully. It would be best if you found a way to track down Haylan. And if locating him proves impossible, you must devise a means to stir up some commotion, to capture his attention.” “Once Haylan shows up, the problem will be sorted. I’ll handle Buckminster and the killer by his side, buying you the needed time.” With her words hanging in the air, she emerged from her concealment and strode forward, stepping into the center of the limelight. All eyes were on her as she made her way to stand directly opposite Buckminster. She locked her gaze onto Buckminster, her voice resonating with a firm determination. “Mr. Payne, you’re after me.
