As Haylan spoke, a smile crept across his face, his gaze fixed coldly upon Bernard.
Bernardâs visage grew somber, his eyes locking with Haylanâs in a frigid gaze. He offered no words in response, maintaining a steadfast silence.
They confronted one another, their stares as piercing as icy blades.
Suddenly, Bernard burst into laughter and quipped, âMr. Jaber, Mr. Jaber, youâve got quite the knack for jokes! The tales youâre spinning just keep getting more and more interesting.
âI gotta make it clear, I didnât do anything to Reign, okay?
âIf you want to investigate, go ahead.
âBut hey, just a friendly headsâup from someone whoâs been down this road before, Iâd advise you that tampering in my office at Whileal Kingdom is, well, illegal.
Touch my belongings if you dare, and you might find yourself getting acquainted with the long arm of the law.
âFurthermore, let me reiterate once more, weâre in the Whileal Kingdom, not the Longhard Kingdom.
My family wonât stand for any mischief on your part.
While uttering those words, a faint smile danced upon his lips as he fearlessly sipped his coffee.
In the realm of the Whileal Kingdom, with him and the power supporting him, even an Eastern dragon would be compelled to bow down.
Haylan stared at him in silence.
At this moment, Haylanâs phone rang. He picked up the call and heard Landonâs voice. âHaylan, something happenedâ
âWhat is it?â
The law here doesnât allow us to do anything. The police have come to stop us. They even said that if we dared to build again, they would arrest us.â
Upon hearing Landonâs words, Haylanâs face darkened.
No wonder Bernard was so fearless. There was indeed someone backing him up.
This would make things difficult. There was no way to find evidence of Bernardâs crime.
Haylanâs countenance turned grim. âAlright, I get it. Mr. Katz, letâs not act hastily.
âLeave the rest to me.â
With that, he ended the call and stowed away his phone. âMr. Bernard, I find myself without a place to go. Could you extend your hospitality and offer me shelter?â
âIf you ainât concerned about us slipping some poison in your food, Mr. Jaber, then by all means, make yourself at home.â Bernard replied nonchalantly.
âDonât worry, Iâll eat my own food,â Haylan said.
âAlright, Iâll let the nanny know to tidy up the guest room. Mr. Jaber, youâre welcome to stay for as long as you need Bernard said.
Bernard glanced at Haylan and stated firmly, âNevertheless, let me be clear. Our modern medicine will always surpass traditional medicineâ
Haylan smiled and replied, âLetâs set aside the debate about traditional and modern medicine for the time being. We can discuss it further in the future. Right now, I just want to stay here and learn from you.â
âThen youâre always welcome,â Bernard said with a smile.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Bernardâs face was calm. He immediately called the nanny and asked her to tidy up the room.
Soon, the nanny called back and said that the house was tidied up.
Bernard looked at Haylan and said, âMr. Jaber, the room is ready. Do you want to take a look?â
Tappreciate that,â Haylan smiled.
âThen, would you like to come in?â
âThank you.â
Haylan didnât hesitate to take up Bernardâs invitation. He treated the castle like his own home and made himself comfortable 11.55 Chapter 754 there.
He also wanted to attack Bernard and force him to confess.
However, Bernard had concealed himself with great skill, to the point that even Haylan couldnât fully penetrate his facade.
If he did not succeed and alerted the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hence, the optimal course of action was to maintain composure, closely surveil Bernard, and prevent him from having any opportunity to harm Reign.
He believed Reign would handle the rest.
Given Reignâs capabilities, as long as Bernard was not present, she should be capable of finding a means to escape.
Haylan moved into the castle and lay comfortably on the bed.
The bed in the castle was exceptionally comfortable.
Haylan took a refreshing shower and then prepared some tea, all the while keeping a watchful eye on Bernard.
Bernard appeared entirely ordinary, consistently maintaining a state of normalcy that rendered it difficult for Haylan to discern any weaknesses or anomalies in his demeanor.
Haylan was patient.
Since Bernard intended on prolonging the situation, Haylan could only remain by his side until the very end.
At any rate, the spiritual beetle within Lawrenceâs mind had already been neutralized. It couldnât inflict any further harm to his brain.
With Landon guarding him, Lawrence would be safe.
Haylan had nothing to do, so he just kept an eye on Bernard.
After Bernard ate, exercised, and washed up, he quietly read medical books and literature for a while before falling asleep.
He slept soundly, completely unaffected.
Haylan kept staring at him, but he could not find any flaws.
He did not pay much attention to it. He turned his hearing to the maximum and closed his eyes to rest for a while.
After an unknown period of time, in the middle of the night, Haylan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Bernardâs room.
At that moment, he heard something different.
The sound resembled the gentle rustle of leaves being caressed by the wind, mingling with the soft footsteps on a sandy beach or the faint whisper of feeble electromagnetic waves.
It was very light!
It was very small!
Not only would ordinary individuals struggle to detect this sound with their own ears, but even with specialized soundâreceiving equipment, capturing and recording it would likely prove elusive.
However, Haylan was no ordinary person. His senses surpassed those of the average person by more than a hundredfold. allowing him to keenly perceive and hear this voice.
Most importantly, the voice was coming from Bernardâs body.
Nevertheless, under Haylanâs watchful gaze, Bernard remained in a deep slumber, exhibiting no signs of abnormality or engaging in any peculiar actions. Everything appeared to be undisturbed and normal.
Furthermore, once Haylan turned his attention toward it, the faint rustling sound vanished as if it had never manifested in the first place.
âWhatâs going on? Why is the human body making such a sound?â Haylan frowned.
He had been in the martial world for so long, but this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing and heard such a strange sound.
Most importantly, it was not the sound of something unclean.
However, before Haylan could ponder further, his countenance abruptly shifted once more. A formidable wave of danger surged through his heart, causing his scalp to prickle with an alarming sensation.
It was a murderous aura!
Without another word, Haylan propelled himself forward like a coiled spring and swiftly left the room.
