The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618 

Haylan had drunk a lot today in one shot. 

Drunk and dizzy now that the alcohol had begun taking effect, he could only stumble out with the help of Reign. 

Although Haylan was immune to all poisons, alcohol was not a poison. After drinking so much alcohol in one shot, he had reached his limit, and his vision had turned blurry. 

“You’re so heavy!” 

Reign looped Haylan’s arm around her shoulder and struggled to walk as she supported him. 

Because she had never interacted with Haylan like this before, Reign had no idea that Haylan was so heavy. Just supporting Haylan’s weight was strenuous for her. 

“If we were on the bed, wouldn’t his weight crush me?” 

Reign’s face turned red, and her heart thumped wildly at this thought. 

Supporting Haylan, Reign finally walked into the elevator after much difficulty and pressed the button for the 13th floor. 

Reign had told her secretary, Lily, to book a room on the 13th and 14th floor before she came to dine so that Haylan and her could be closer. 

Therefore, Reign had deliberately used various reasons to coax Haylan into drinking while they were dining so that he would become drunk. Getting him into bed with her would be a simple matter then. 

“Aren’t we going back? Why… why is this elevator going up?” Haylan asked drunkenly. 

Shaking his head vigorously, Haylan tried to clear his mind and think more clearly. 

Since Albert had booked a room on the 9th floor, Haylan knew the elevator should be descending to a lower floor instead if they were to go back and rest. 

Therefore, he instantly realized something was amiss when he felt the elevator ascending. 

However, under the effects of alcohol, Haylan struggled to think clearly. 

“I must never drink so much again,” Haylan thought. 

In the past, he had always heard others say that drinking could lead to serious trouble. Now, he finally understood what they meant. 

He would be doomed if an enemy came for him in his current state. 

“I pressed the wrong button just now,” Reign explained. 

“Oh, so you pressed the wrong button,” Haylan said, registering Reign’s explanation. 

Suddenly, the elevator stopped on the 10th floor. 

Reign pulled Haylan to the side, planning to make way for the people entering the elevator. 

The elevator door opened, and a couple walked in hand in hand. Paying no heed to Haylan and Reign, the couple started kissing and hugging each other. 

Passionately in love, young, and completely disregarding the feelings of others, the couple continued with their public displays of affection. 

Reign’s face instantly turned red, and her heart pounded wildly at the sight of the couple’s actions. 

“Are young people nowadays so eager to display their affection for one another?” Reign wondered. 

Drunk and struggling to keep his eyelids open as he tilted on the verge of unconsciousness, Haylan could no longer stand and leaned weakly against Reign. 

“Haylan, be careful. Don’t fall.” 

Reign quickly attempted to pull Haylan to his feet, but she could not hold him steady since he was too heavy for her and practically leaning on her. 

Helpless, Reign could only lean against the elevator wall and place Haylan’s hands on her shoulders. Then, with both hands, she hugged Haylan’s waist so that he could stabilize himself and not fall. 

Haylan lowered his head and leaned his forehead against Reign’s forehead. 

They were so close that they could feel each other’s breathing.
