The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744

The vital energy needles caused the sleeping spiritual beetle to quiver.

Abundant spiritual energy emanated from its ball–like body and spread throughout Lawrence’s brain. The size of the spiritual beetle’s body shrank dramatically after the spiritual energy flowed out of its body. It could sense that something was wrong, so it began to struggle desperately.

However, it was useless.

The gold needles Haylan stuck into Lawrence’s head formed a huge web that trapped it and fastened it tightly. The spiritual beetle could only let the spiritual energy leak out from its body when struggling wasn’t even possible

Apart from that, some parts of its body began to dissolve.

The power of gold needles had the ability to destroy all evil forces.

As a strange and sinister creature, the spiritual beetle would not wail helplessly for its doom.

The gold needles restricted its movements and prevented it from devouring Lawrence’s brain tissue.

However, they also propelled the bug to summon up all the strength in its body to seal up the wounds, so that the spiritual energy would stop leaking and its body wouldn’t dwindle so quickly.

At the same time, it was also trying to delay its own demise by repairing the dissolved parts.

Its resistance made Haylan’s treatment became much more difficult.

“Interesting. Looks like I have to subdue you first before I can slowly figure out my next move.”

Haylan could feel that the spiritual beetle was struggling. His eyes turned cold. Thereafter, he quickly combined the enormous spiritual energy with his own vital energy again and turned them into countless vital energy needles that rushed into Lawrence’s body and subsequently into his brain.

Those vital energy needles were powerful but scattered.

However, when they reached Lawrence’s brain, they converged into a long spiritual energy needle that stabbed fiercely into the spiritual beetle.

“Swish!”

After the vital energy needles entered the spiritual beetle’s body, the creature let out a painful growl.

The sound reverberated in the room through Lawrence’s mouth and ears.

The extremely eerie sound made a general–class expert like Landon shudder.

“Is… is it true that the sound is coming from Lawrence’s brain?” Landon’s eyes were filled with fear.

He really couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen in a person’s brain.

It was too shocking to him.

“Yes, that’s the sound of the spiritual beetle,” Haylan said.

Landon was seized with terror when he heard the sound, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

At first, when Haylan told him that there was a bug in Lawrence’s brain, he did not believe it and thought that Haylan might be talking nonsense.

However, after hearing the sound, he was finally certain that Haylan didn’t make that up.

There was really a bug in Lawrence’s brain.

Just hearing the sound made him feel dreadfully shocked, and his scalp went numb.

He could not imagine how painful it would be for Lawrence to have such a weird thing in his brain.

Even someone like him who had braved storms in life and been through life–and–death situations couldn’t endure it, not to mention Lawrence,

No wonder Lawrence had been unconscious all these years.

He was lucky that he didn’t die when such a bug was in his brain.

“Maylan, can you really get rid of the bug?” Landon looked at Haylan with anticipation in his eyes.

“I’ve said it before that I’m confident. But I need time. Right now, I have a more important thing to do.”

Haylan’s vital energy needles had pierced through the spiritual beetle and destroyed its veins. After keeping the spiritual

Haylan looked unflustered as he said in a deep voice, “Don’t panic. Let’s sort things out first. Instead of going to the police, why don’t we go to see Bernard first?

“Mr. Katz, let’s split up. I’ll look for Rei. You stay here and watch Lawrence.

“Remember, before I come back, don’t let anyone give him any more medicine. No medicine is allowed.”

“Alright, Haylan I’ll leave Rei to you. You’ve got to bring her back,” Landon reminded him repeatedly.

Haylan was much stronger than Landon and had a meticulous mind. Therefore, he was a better person to go and find Reign. Haylan patted Landon on his shoulder before heading straight to Bernard’s office.

“Wait. I’ll go too.” Yvonne quickly followed.

About two minutes later, they were standing in front of the door of Bernard’s office, knocking.

“The door is unlocked. Come in.” Bernard spoke with a sonorous voice.

Haylan pushed the door open and walked in. Yvonne followed behind him.

“What are you doing here?”

Bernard was reading some documents with his head lowered. When he looked up and saw Haylan, his eyes turned cold. “You’re not welcome here. Please leave immediately.”

“We can’t find Rei. She is missing! You bastard, what did you say to her?” Yvonne lashed out at Bernard.

She felt that Bernard must have said something to Reign. That was why Reign had ignored her and run away.

So, as far as she was concerned, it was all Bernard’s fault.

“What? Ms. Labenz is missing?”

Bernard’s eyebrows shot up, forming a high arc of astonishment. He quickly stood up and asked with concern. “What’s going on? When did she disappear? Have you contacted her?”

Haylan kept staring at Bernard without saying a word.

The incredulity and worry in his eyes looked real. It didn’t seem like he was faking it.
