The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 393

Reign had just received news that Josef, the CEO of Deity Pharmaceutical Group stayed on the same

deck as them and he was currently enjoying the breeze on the top deck.

It was a good opportunity to meet him.

Otherwise, when the gathering began, a big shot like Josef would definitely have many appointments

and meetings, and he would have no time for Reign.

Therefore, she had to seize the opportunity.

Haylan gathered the luggage together and glanced around the room. After making sure that there were

no cameras, he said to Reign, “Alright, let’s go.”

They left the room, locked the door behind them, and headed straight for the deck.

Not long after they left, a shifty-eyed young man walked over. He looked around sneakily.

After confirming that there was no one around and that the cameras could not capture him, he

immediately took out some tools and opened the room of Haylan and Reign.

He walked around their room. Then, a cold glint flitted across his eyes. He took out some powder and

scattered it on the two beds and their shoes.

Finally, he added some drugs to the water dispenser..

After doing all this, he quickly closed the door and walked away. When he arrived at a place with no

one around, he took out his phone and made a call. “Mr. Horace, it’s done. I guarantee that they will

feel extremely unwell tonight.”

“Alright, have you taken care of the things with the doctor? Holace asked at the other end of the phone.

‘Don’t worry. I’ve talked to the doctor. When that woman goes to see him, I’ll arrange for you to replace

him.”

“Alright, you’re good. After this is done, I’ll definitely reward you handsomely.”

“Thank you, Mr. Horace”

When the shifty-eyed man heard that, he was thrilled.

He was just a waiter and bartender on the ship. If he really received Holace’s huge reward, he would

be able to live a comfortable life in the future.

On the deck of the Swan Cruise ship.

One could admire the night view and overlook the vast ocean view from there. It was a very good

observation platform.

Moreover, the deck was beautifully adorned with low-key but luxurious decorations. It was simple,

elegant, and pleasing to the eye.

There were only 15 people standing on the highest deck at the moment.

Thirteen of them were Longhard Kingdom people and the other two were foreigners.

In the entire country, there were very few people who had tens of billions of dollars. It was quite an

achievement to have gathered 12 there.

Behind these 15 people, there were many bodyguards standing on one side of the deck..

Billionaires usually had their own bodyguards.

Some brought one with them, while others might have four or five. All of the bodyguards were experts

with sharp eyes and vigilance.

Even if they were simply standing there without making any eye contact with anyone, their strong

presence gave other people immense pressure.

Reign walked over and recognized Josef immediately.

Josef was a burly foreign man with a height of 6 feet 1 inch.

He was about 50 years old, wearing a pair of glasses. His refined manner gave off a bookish calm air

like that of a knowledgeable and friendly scholar.

At that moment, he was chatting with a man and a woman,

Reign walked up to him and talked to him in the indigenous language of Whileal Kingdom. “Hello,

Josef. I’m Reign Labenz, CEO of Mapleturz Group. We’ve talked to each other online. It’s amazing that

we can finally meet today”

When Josef saw Reign, his eyes brightened up. He politely shook hands with her and said, “Ms.

Labenz, nice to meet you.”

As he spoke, he stared unblinkingly at her.

Reign was wearing a form-fitting black dress that flattered her curves and hourglass figure that day.

In addition, she had put on light makeup which enhanced her perfectly proportioned facial features.

She had big lustrous eyes with brows like a perfect bow.

Her nose was tall and straight, and her cherry-red lips were full and glossy.

She was stunning,

Her elegance and confidence were mixed with carefree feminity and her beauty was beyond

comparison.

Every smile and every move of hers exuded a spellbound charm.

Josef was the founder and CEO of Diety Pharmaceutical Group. He had braved all kinds of storms in

life and had seen countless women.

However, it was the first time he had seen a beautiful woman like Reign. Even though he was just

looking at her, he felt his heart palpitate and his mind went blank for a moment.

Nonetheless, as a big shot in his field, he had a strong mental fortitude. After being amazed for a few

seconds, he immediately regained his composure.

“Mr. Josef, can we find a place to sit down and talk?” Reign went straight to the point.

“Okay,” Josef smiled.

Sure enough, he would not reject a beauty’s invitation.

“This way, please.”

Reign was delighted and immediately walked to an al fresco café on the deck.

To cater to the need of the rich, there were all kinds of facilities there. The cafe was one of the most

basic amenities, but it offered a wide selection of top coffee beans in the world.

The barista had also undergone rigorous hands-on training and the place was filled with the wonderful

aroma of the ground coffee.

Reign sat at one table with Josef, whereas Haylan sat at another table with Josef’s bodyguard.

A few moments later, the waiter came and served them the freshly-brew coffee,

“Mr. Josef, I heard that your company has developed a new drug that can regenerate brain tissue. I

want to take a look. Is that okay?”

Reign cut to the chase and made her request.

“Dear Ms. Labenz, the new drug still needs to go through some clinical tests. I can reveal it to the

public for the time being,” Josef said.

I’m willing to pay,” Reign said.

Josef shook his head and smiled. “Ms. Labenz, it has nothing to do with money. Our new drug has a lot

of room for improvement. We can’t disclose any information just yet”

No matter what Reign said, Josef remained persistent in his rejection. He was unmoved by both hard

and soft tactics.

After talking for thirty minutes, Reign failed to persuade him.

In the end, the two of them only exchanged contact information before Josef went elsewhere to

socialize and drink with other wealthy people.

Reign sat at the table to have her coffee, looking a little frustrated.

Haylan walked over and sat opposite her. “So, you didn’t seal the deal?”

“No matter what I offered, he was unwilling to let me have the medicine. And he even named an

exorbitant price for 10% of Mapleturz Group shares. He must have plotted this long ago and wanted to

exploit the situation to blackmail me.” Reign shook her head.

“This foreigner has a huge appetite. He demands the shares right from the start. He has a big goal,”

Haylan said,

If Josef owned 10% of the shares, he would be the fifth-largest shareholder of Mapleturz Group and he

would have a say in the company’s decision.

Moreover, it was just the beginning.

Assuming that he wanted to win others’ support, it was very likely that he would team up with Philip.

Reign’s life would be more difficult if the two of them worked together.

“So, I’ll never give him the shares. But if I don’t, he won’t give me the new drug. And my brother…”

Reign became even more distressed when talking about that

“There’s always a way out. Don’t worry. Your brother can last until now. He’ll definitely meet a good

doctor in the future. and get better,” Haylan comforted her.

Reign shook her head and she did not really believe his words.

Looking at the calm sea, her eyes glistened with determination. “It seems that I need to find Ghost

Orchid as soon as possible.”

“Ghost Orchid?”

Right then, an elderly man with white hair and a beard sat down opposite Reign. He looked at her with

surprise and excitement. “Ms. Labenz, are you also looking for Ghost Orchid”

“Mister, you know about Ghost Orchid?” Reign raised her head and looked at the old man in shock.

She had learned about the herb from a wandering expert.

And in fact, she had asked some people to find out more about it but to no avail.

Unexpectedly, the old man in front of her knew about it.
