The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 544

Chapter 544 

Yvonne pulled Haylan aside. Then, she said to Haylairexcitedly. “Mr. Jaber, you must help me this time.” 

“What’s wrong?” Haylan looked puzzled. 

“Be my boyfriend,” Yvonne said with a burning gaze. 

“Huh?” Haylan was stunned. 

Was Yvonne making a confession to Haylan?” 

Wasn’t this too direct? 

When Yvonne saw Haylan’s expression, she understood that Haylan might have misunderstood. She blushed and explained 

in a low voice, “Recently, my family has arranged many blind dates for me. I am very frustrated about it. Now, I can’t even focus on studying pharmaceuticals. 

“That’s why I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and help me fend off those annoying blind dates.” 

Realization dawned on Haylan. “You mean, you want me to be your shield, right?” 

Yvonne said with an awkward expression, “That’s indeed what I mean. Do you agree to do this?” 

As she spoke, Yvonne looked at Haylan with her bright eyes. 

“I’m your brother’s master, and I’m also your colleague. It’s not a big deal for me to help you. But I want to know what benefits I can get from helping you.” Haylan smiled. 

“What kind of benefits do you want? Yvonne asked. 

Haylan looked at Yvonne’s eager and expectant eyes and suddenly became playful. He joked, “How about this? I won’t ask for too much. Every time I send away a blind date and make the guy stop pestering you, you reward me with a kiss. How about that?” 

“Are you being a hooligan?” Yvonne’s face darkened. 

As she spoke, Yvonne glanced at Reign from the corner of her eye. 

However, Yvonne realized that Reign had disappeared. She had no idea where Reign had gone. 

“Being a shield is a thankless task. I might offend many people because of this. I can’t do this for nothing, right?” Haylan continued to joke. 

When Yvonne heard Haylan’s words, her face turned even more blushed. She lowered her head shyly. 

Seeing Yvonne like this, Haylan felt that it was quite funny. At the same time, Haylan felt that he might have with his joke. He smiled and was about to tell Yvonne that he was joking. 

gone overboard 

However, at this moment, Yvonne suddenly tiptoed and kissed Haylan on the lips. Then, Yvonne whispered into Haylan’s ear, “Alright, deal” 

After saying that, Yvonne was so shy that her face turned red. She hurriedly turned around and ran away. Her heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of her chest. 

Ah! 

Yvonne, do you know what you’re doing?” 

“This was the office. How could you kiss him under such circumstances?” 

“How embarrassing!” Yvonne thought to herself. 

Yvonne’s heart raced as she ran. Her face was as red as a ripe apple. 

Although Yvonne was already in her twenties, she had never been in a relationship before. Yvonne still had her first kiss. But now, in such an impulsive situation, she gave her first kiss to Haylan. Yvonne was embarrassed. 

“Well…” 

Haylan touched his lips and stood rooted to the ground. 

He was clearly joking just now and wanted to explain. But before Haylan could say anything, Yvonne kissed him. Haylan was 

stunned. 

However, Yvonne was indeed very beautiful. A kiss from her was also sweet and blissful. 

“Why does it feel like it’s not worth it to get only a kiss for being a shield once?” Haylan muttered to himself 

Being a shield came with a huge price to pay. Haylan had to face many young masters. It was very difficult to subdue those people and make them not be tempted by Yvonne or pestered her. It required both time and energy. 

And all Haylan would get was just a kiss. What a loss! 

With that thought in mind, Haylan left the door and returned to the security room. 

“Mr. Payne.” 

“Boss” 

At this moment, Xander and David were already waiting in the security room. When they saw Haylan return, they both walked over. 

“David, it’s been hard on you yesterday.” Haylan patted David’s shoulder. 

Haylan had already predicted that Philip would send someone to kill David, so he told David to get away. Haylan even arranged for Xander to follow them. 

Presumably, before Xander arrived, David had also suffered a lot of shock. 

“It’s just a small matter. As long as the problem is resolved, it’s fine.” David smiled. 

“Don’t worry. Philip is already crippled. They won’t attack you anymore. It’s been hard on you. Now, you can return to the team.” Haylan patted David’s shoulder. 

“Yes!” 

David looked excited. He immediately went back to his job and continued working. 

Seeing this scene, Wane, William, and everyone else were dumbfounded. 

At this moment, they all understood. 

David and Haylan were all acting to deceive Philip! 

This. Wane opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say a word. 

Don’t you feel Haylan’s fake death was too realistic? William’s eyes were also filled with shock. He was so astonished that he could not calm down for a long time. 

The others were the same. They were extremely shocked. 

Basically, they had all gone forward to check. They knew that Haylan was no longer breathing, and Haylan’s heart and pulse were not beating either. Even Haylan’s body had begun to turn cold. He looked like a proper corpse. 

However, Haylan was actually pretending to be like that! 

“Everyone, stop looking. Go to work.” 

Haylan glanced at the others and signaled them to go to work. Then, his gaze fell on Leslie. Haylan said in a deep voice, “Leslie, come to my office for a moment.” 

When Leslie heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his body trembled. 

Haylan called Leslie over. Could it be that Haylan knew about the deal between him and Philip? 

“Haylan is asking for you. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go in!” Xander glared at Leslie.
