The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 

“Ms. Riley” 

Haylan walked over and sized 1 ydia up. The more he looked at her, the more attracted he became. 

Be it her face, figure, or pair of long legs, Lydia was gorgeous! 

Lydia saw Haylan coming over and then looked down at her watch. She said smilingly. “You’re very punctual” 

Haylan refocused and regained his composure. He walked to Lydia and handed the cup of fresh milk and the doughnuts to Lydia. “You haven’t eaten yet, have you’ Exercising on an empty stomach is not good for your health. Eat something to fill your stomach before exercising.” 

Lydia beamed and shook her head. “I already ate half an hour ago. You should eat.” 

Haylan had to drink the cup of fresh milk and a doughnut alone. 

As he ate. Lydia surveyed Haylan’s figure up and down and asked. “Don’t you think you wear too much? Aren’t you afraid of the heat when we climb the mountain later?” 

Haylan had changed into casual sportswear. It was relatively loose, and he was wearing a jacket. It seemed incompatible with Lydia’s tight yoga clothes. 

“You don’t understand the weather at Lightdom City. It’s cool in the morning and hot at noon. I think it’s good to have an 

extra coat.” 

Haylan smiled and took off his jacket. He tied it around his waist, revealing the white singlet underneath. 

Two evenly muscled arms appeared in front of Lydia. 

The wounds on his arms were especially eye-catching. 

Against the backdrop of his singlet, Haylan’s eight-pack abs and huge chest muscles were shapely, revealing the beauty of his masculinity. 

Lydia stared at the wound on Haylan’s arms. After a short moment of shock, a hint of sadness flashed across her eyes. “Why are there so many wounds on your arms?” 

“They are presents from my previous job, Haylan said calmly. 

“What kind of job was that? Was it that dangerous?” 

“I was a mercenary.” 

“You? Really?” 

Lydia was shocked again. 

She had thought that Haylan was an assassin or a professional bodyguard, but she never thought he was a mercenary. 

“Doesn’t I look like one?” Haylan asked. 

Lydia sized up Haylan again and said earnestly, “I should have guessed it long ago. Your actions and posture do indeed look like a soldier.” 

Then, she asked curiously. “We live in a high-tech society now. Mapleturz Group has a scar removal ointment that can effectively remove scars. Why don’t you get rid of those of yours?” 

Haylan waved his arm and did some warm-up exercises. He said, “Scars are a man’s medal. Why should I get rid of them? 

“Besides, I don’t rely on my look and figure to make a living. 

“I work as a bodyguard and a mercenary. The more scars I have, the more satisfied the employer might be. They might think I’m experienced, and I make more money in that case.” 

Lydia was speechless. 

Haylan had a point that she could not refute. 

A moment later, Lydia came back to her senses. “Alright, let’s run and climb the mountain” 

“You should do some warm-up exercises first. This way, you can better protect your body Haylan nodded. 

Lydia nodded in agreement. Immediately, she started to jump on the spot, bend down, and press her legs. 

She was ravishing. Her skin was fair, and she was in great physical shape. Even if Lydia was only doing some warm-up exercises, she was still attractive. Any action she made exuded charm. 

Especially when she bent over to press her legs, her hips were perky and incredibly alluring. 

Haylan knew that he was not a gentleman. When he saw such a beautiful scene, his heart raced, and he could not help but 

swallow his saliva. 

How stunning she was! 

“By the way, you are looking for me for more than merely a morning exercise, right?” 

“Yes, I have something to discuss with you, but we will talk about it after the exercise. You haven’t been in any danger recently, have you?” 

“Ever since you took care of that assassin, Xavier hasn’t troubled me again. My job is going well now. Let me guess, are you looking for me about the house?” 

“Yes, Lam.” 

“You’re straightforward.” 

“It’s better to be direct.” 

The two of them chatted as they warmed up. 

After the warm-up exercise, they ran along the mountain path around Cloud Mountain and toward the top of it. Although Lydia was a star and busy at work, she was physically fit. She ran steadily, breathed evenly, and her posture was standard. 

Haylan could tell that Lydia usually took time out to work out and was a seasoned gym-goers. 

Moreover, Lydia had a sexy figure. When she ran, her boobs heaved. 

Although Haylan kept looking straight ahead, he still felt his lips and tongue dry up when he glanced at Lydia occasionally. 

Such a lovely scene was sensuous. 

After running for nearly 1.8 miles. Haylan’s face was still not red, and he was not out of breath. However, Lydia was already panting a little. Her face was rosy from the exercise, and her forehead was sweating 

The two of them ran around the road. At that moment, they were still far from the top of the mountain, at least 1.2 miles 

away. 

Lydia stared at Haylan. “Do you dare to play something exciting?” 

“What do you mean?” Haylan asked. 

Lydia pointed at the staircase that led straight to the top of the mountain. She smiled and said, “This staircase goes to the top. There are more than 2.000 steps in total. Let’s run the stairs. 

“If you win, I’ll agree to what you say next.” 

“Ms. Riley, aren’t you playing with me? Ordinary people will probably lose their legs if they finish the 2,000 steps, right?” Haylan said. 

Ordinary people would be exhausted after walking 2,000 steps. 

But Lydia said she wanted to run the 2,000 steps! 

“Let’s run together. Whoever wins will have to agree to the other’s condition. How about it? You’re a mercenary. You won’t be afraid of me, right?” Lydia smiled. 

“That’s right. I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish it, and I will have to carry you down the mountain. If the reporters take photos of you, there will be news and stories about you,” Haylan said.
