The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 333

Chapter 333 

The warmth and fragrance of Grace’s presence filled the air. With every breath, a delightful aroma permeated his senses. 

Even Grace’s smooth and long hair brushed against his nose. 

Haylan’s head was buzzing at this point. 

He began to frantically recall the events of last night. He remembered many senior executives from the Zabel family, including Dominic, Shawn, and even Lucy raising their glasses to him. And then, he recalled that the liquor was particularly strong and potent, with a lingering aftertaste. 

After drinking a dozen of glasses, his entire being succumbed to drunkenness, completely intoxicated. 

He had no recollection of anything that happened afterward. 

He had blacked out from drinking for the first time in his life! 

“What a powerful wine!” 

“I hope I didn’t do anything with Grace, did I?” 

He looked at her lying on his chest with complex emotions. 

Without delay, he checked his own body, his clothes, and her clothes, ensuring that both sets were intact. Only then did he feel a wave of relief wash over hum 

From the traces on the bedsheet and their attire, it was evident that nothing inappropriate had occurred between them. 

Thinking about this, he let out a long sigh of relief 

Not having engaged in such activities was a great relief! 

Otherwise, he would not know how to face his disciple in the future. 

After all, it would be morally questionable to have such an encounter on the very first day of taking someone as his disciple. 

He cautiously moved Grace’s head aside and gently placed her to the side. Then, he quietly got out of bed, tiptoed to the bathroom, and washed his face 

The liquor from last night still had a lingering effect, and he felt slight dizziness even in his awakened state. 

“Where did the Zabel family find such liquor? The aftereffects are really strong. 

“If I could 

give this kind of liquor to my master, he would definitely appreciate it.” 

As Haylan washed his face, the aftertaste of the liquor reminded him of his master. 

He did not really like to drink and felt that drinking was a waste of time. However, his master was an alcohol addict. 

He never touched red wine or beer, only indulging in the finest spirits. Meanwhile, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, earning him the title of Sir Spirits. 

Under the influence of his master, Haylan had also tasted various exquisite alcohols from around the world. 

The spirit served by the Zabel family last night was undoubtedly a top-notch, exceptional liquor that qualified to enter his master’s collection 

Haylan circulated Internal Strength, completely expelling the alcohol from his body, restoring his calmness, and alleviating the dizziness. 

After washing up, he walked out and looked at Grace, who was still sleeping soundly. Seeing this, he frowned slightly. 

At this moment, she let out a yawn and stretched lazily. 

She had worn relatively conservative clothing last night but changed into a home-style pajama set before going to sleep. Coupled with her love for fitness and her wonderfully shaped figure, she exhibited an alluring S-shaped curve. 

When she stretched, her shirt lifted a little. 

At this point, he could see a part of her slender waist. 

Bathed in the first rays of morning sunlight, she stretched gracefully, looking as beautiful as a painting. 

Haylan paused for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and calmly said, “Are you awake?” 

Startled by his words, Grace looked around, then at him, her expression dramatically changing. “Master, have we… slept together?” she asked. 

Haylan was speechless. 

He simply did not know how to respond. 

They did sleep together, but it was only embracing each other while sleeping, and nothing else happened. 

Seeing his reaction. Grace seemed to understand as she took a deep breath. She then earnestly said. “Master, rest assured. I will take responsibility now that I’ve slept with you” 

“From today onwards, let’s focus on our respective roles. You can call me your disciple, and I’ll call you my husband,” the declared 

“What do you think” 

Haylan remained silent, unable to reply. 

It was quite a nonsense, after all 

He wondered. “Is the education she received really that open-minded?” 

Scowling, he said, “Don’t be ridiculous. Nothing happened between us. I suspect it was your father and grandfather who arranged for us to be together” 

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Grace’s eyes. 

She stood up and walked over to his side, staring directly at him. “Master, do you think I’m beautiful?” 

“Yes” 

“A normal man would be moved by a woman like me, right?” 

Yes” 

“If a normal man slept in the same bed as a woman like me, he wouldn’t be able to hold back and would’ve done that thing with me, right?” 

“Yes!” 

“Then why didn’t you do it?” 

“Because you’re my disciple 

He glared at her impatiently and said, “We have a master-disciple relationship. How are we supposed to interact in the future if something were to happen between us? 

“Also, don’t think about such nonsense in the future. 

“You should sober up today. Tomorrow, come to Mapleturz Group’s security department to participate in the military training together. I’ll introduce some seniors to you.” 

With that, Haylan pushed Grace aside, opened the door, and left straight away. 

He felt there had been a misunderstanding about him sleeping with her and wanted to explain to Shawn and Demonic. 

Unfortunately, the two had already left home for a meeting at the company. 

Helpless, he could only leave. 

Meanwhile, Grace watched his departing figure with a look of disappointment. 

However, as soon as he was completely gone, her disappointed expression immediately changed to one of great joy and satisfaction. 

She smirked and said, “Master, you are so naive. Did you really think nothing happened between us? 

“But don’t worry, I won’t hold you responsible.”
