The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 15

Reign was extremely curious. She felt that a security guard so deeply respected by Yara had to be a rather extraordinary character.

If it were possible, she wanted to transfer the security guard to the research and development department.

“His name? I can’t remember.”

Yara was stunned.

After Haylan explained to her the specifics of the medicine earlier, Yara devoted all her attention to that topic and abandoned all other thoughts. Because of that, she had completely forgotten Haylan’s

name.

Reign frowned slightly.

She wanted to go to the security department and have a look. When she remembered that it was already past working hours, she decided to hold back.

Since the security guard was from Mapleturz Group, he was there to stay. Reign believed that she would be able to meet him sooner or later, so there was no need to be anxious.

“I just remember seeing many scars on his body,” Yara said.

“Scars?” Reign asked.

“Yeah, there were many scars all over his body,” Yara replied with a nod.

She stretched out her hand and started gesturing at her own body.

The scars on Haylan’s body had left a deep impression on Yara, but she did not feel repulsed by them. Instead, she found those Cars very sexy and full of stories. They made Haylan very masculine.

After listening to Yara’s description, Reign was also in a daze. She suddenly remembered the incident she had encountered in the foreign forest.

At that time, Haylan had rem 34

Ever since returning from abroad, Reign still found herself thinking of Haylan on the nights that felt too quiet.

Back at the Mapleturz Group’s locker room…

Haylan removed his security guard uniform and changed into his clothes before walking out.

“Haylan, wait.”

William, who was dressed in casual clothes, caught up with Haylan from behind and said, “Let me give you a ride since your house is along the way.”

Haylan did not refuse his offer. He nodded and followed William into his vehicle.

Along the way, William asked curiously, “What did you say to Mr. Muller? Why was he so respectful to you?”

William could not figure out why an arrogant person like Larry Muller would treat Haylan with such respect and enthusiasm. It was very strange.

“It’s nothing much. I just taught him how to pick up girls,” Haylan replied calmly.

When William heard those words, his eyes turned cold. He glanced at Haylan unhappily. “If you

18:45

don’t want to tell me, forget it.”

He thought, “What a ridiculous lie.

“Larry Muller is the heir of one of the four richest families in Lightdom City. He is surrounded by plenty of beautiful women and has a reputation for being a playboy.

“Who is Haylan to teach Larry how to pick up girls? He simply doesn’t understand the absurdness of his words.”

In William’s eyes, Haylan was taking him for a fool,

“I really was giving him some advice. After all, I know Reign better than he does,” Haylan explained. “Alright, alright, I get it. You don’t have to explain yourself anymore.”

William looked at Haylan contemptuously and said in a deep voice, “No matter what it is, I’m telling you to stay away from me in the future.”

Reign was a beautiful woman in Lightdom City with a net worth of millions of dollars, while Haylan was just a poor man from a different world.

William thought, “Haylan is not even qualified enough to bow at Reign’s feet. It’s ridiculous that he believes he knows Reign well.”

At that moment, William felt that Haylan was full of shit, which caused him to look down on the latter.

He also felt that with Haylan’s tendency to tell absurd lies, he would get himself into trouble sooner or later at the company. Hence, William wanted to distance himself from Haylan.

Haylan looked at William but did not say anything.

He was telling the truth, but William did not want to believe him.

When Haylan was chatting with Larry earlier, he found out that Larry was pursuing Reign. Thus, he shared some of Reign’s preferences with him.

After all, when they were abroad, Haylan had spent some time alone with Reign. Hence, he knew Reign’s character and preferences very well.

For instance, Haylan knew what kind of food Reign liked to eat, what kind of flowers she liked, what time she went to bed every day, what kind of people she hated, and all the other things that she disliked.

Larry did not believe him at first. After Haylan started sharing with him some of Reign’s preferences, he was convinced. That caused Larry to become very enthusiastic. They even exchanged contact

details.

William stopped the car in front of Haylan’s house. After Haylan got out of the vehicle, William said with a cold face, “This is where our relationship ends. Haylan, don’t forget, stay away from me at

work.”

With that, William stepped on the gas pedal and drove away quickly.

Haylan watched as the car sped into the distance. He frowned slightly as he had not missed William’s ridicule and contempt. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

But Haylan did not say anything else. Instead, he went to the nearby store to buy a good bottle of wine before going home.

“You’re back already? How was work today?”

Felicia was cooking when Haylan returned. She immediately greeted him with concern.

Charlie, who was reading the newspaper, feigned nonchalance

and asked, “Did you get yourself into

18:45

any trouble?”

However, Charlie actually felt very uneasy. He was afraid that Haylan would really get himself into trouble.

“Do I look like that kind of person?”

Haylan maintained a calm look on his face as he sat down, opened the bottle of wine, and poured a glass for Charlie. He gave it to his father and said, “Dad, this is to celebrate our reunion after eight years and also my new job.

“It’s a toast to you!”

After speaking. Haylan also poured himself a glass of wine and downed it.

When Haylan thought of his father kneeling and begging for a job for him, his eyes turned red. He was extremely moved. It almost felt like someone was twisting a knife in his heart.

Charles deep love for him made him feel almost undeserving

“All you know is how to toast people. Charlie said coldly.

He sounded cold and unhappy, but he still accepted the wine from his son.

“Dad. I used to be immature and got into a lot of trouble, which made you worry incessantly. It’s all my fault.

I promise that I won’t let you down anymore. Thank you for loving me.

“I don’t know what else I can say. All I can do is offer this toast to you.”

Haylan’s eyes were teary as he kept toasting Charlie one glass after another.

Charlie had watched his son transform into a sensible young man. He felt so comforted by this fact that his eyes also turned teary.

He still maintained his cold disposition and gave sarcastic responses.

However, he accepted every toast from Haylan and finished every glass he was offered.

After eight years, the father and son could finally sit and drink together. There was so much warmth.

between them.

Felicia watched this scene unfold from the kitchen. Her eyes were also red, and her tears could not stop flowing.

She had waited eight long years to see this.

After eating and drinking, Charlie passed out.

Haydan walked over and picked his father up.

He was shocked when he lifted his father in his arms

Charlie was too light.

Haylan wondered if Charlie even weighed more than 110 pounds.

However, Haylan could only imagine just how much his father had suffered all these years.

As Haylan looked at the frown on his father’s face and the white hair on his head, he felt his heart ache. Tears streamed down his face

Eight years….

He had owed his parents too much throughout these right years.

Haylan carried his father back to his bed and said seriously, ‘Dad, I’m back, and I’ve grown up. From

18:45

today onward, I will replace you as the man of the family.

“You don’t have to bear the burden all by yourself anymore.”

With that. Haylan tucked his father into bed before leaving the room.

“Oh. right.”

Felicia had dried her tears. She took out a lunch box from the kitchen and handed it to Haylan. “It’s lunchtime now. You should deliver this to your sister at school.”

Haylan took the lunch box and asked, “By the way, where is my older sister?”

“Your sister got married a long time ago and already has children. In a few days, our entire family can go visit her together, along with your other siblings.”

“I’m an uncle already? Is it to a niece or a nephew?” Haylan was surprised.

“A niece.”

Felicia smiled at the thought of her granddaughter. A frown soon replaced the smile. With worried eyes, she said, “Your sister has not led an easy life over the past few years.”
