The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625 

Reign said lightly as if she did not care about this matter at all. 

As she spoke, she threw the towel aside and put on her underwear in front of him. 

After a while, she frowned slightly and said to Haylan, “Help me button up. I can’t reach the buttons of this dress of the latest style.” 

Her hands fumbled behind her, but she couldn’t find where the buttons were. 

When Haylan saw her like this, he was even more certain that he had definitely had sex with Reign. As for Reign, she was considerate. She only spoke like this because she did not want him to be in a difficult position. 

He walked up and helped Reign button up. 

“Thanks.” 

Reign put on her clothes and turned around to smile sweetly at Haylan. “I just received a notice. I still have a meeting to attend. I’ll take my leave first. 

“I’ve already paid for the room and left some money in the bedroom. Order whatever you want to buy. Goodbye.” 

After saying that, she pretended to be affectionate and kissed Haylan’s face before taking her bag and leaving in her high heels. 

Haylan stood rooted to the ground, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. 

He lit another cigarette and smoked it as he walked to the bedroom. Sure enough, he saw a wad of money on the bedside table. 

His face instantly darkened. 

What was the meaning of paying for the room and leaving money behind? 

Did Reign not want him to take responsibility for being afraid that he would be burdened, or did she treat him as the kind of gigolo? 

Haylan sat on the bed and held the cigarette in his mouth. He played with the stack of money, his expression changing. 

At this moment, his phone rang. It was Lydia. 

“What’s wrong?” Haylan asked. 

“How is it? Have you thought about it?” Lydia’s sweet voice came from the phone. 

“Huh?” 

“Don’t tell me you forgot what I told you.” 

“I’ve been too busy recently. My mind is a little confused. I can’t remember what you’re talking about.” 

“It’s about my singing after Steve’s conferment. There will be a ball after his conferment. I want to invite you to be my dance partner. Have you thought about it?” 

“I’m afraid I can’t promise you that.” 

“Why?” 

“I shouldn’t be free at that time. I have something to do now, so that’s all.” 

With that, Haylan hung up. 

If it were ordinary times, he might have chatted with Lydia. If he was in a good mood, he might have agreed to go dancing with her. 

After all, it was a blessing to be able to dance with a peerless beauty like Lydia. She was pretty and it was a pleasant thing. 

However, now something like this had happened between him and Reign. Before he figured out many things, he did not want to pay attention to other women. 

Haylan sat on the bed. Her mind was filled with Reign’s every move this morning and her almost perfect figure. Thinking of this, he touched the blanket again. He could still smell the fragrance left behind by Reign. 

Then, he picked up the wad of money and put it in his pocket. He smoked a cigarette and walked out of the room. After leaving the hotel and enjoying the cold wind on the street, Haylan finally felt a little more clear–headed.

Chapter 625 

After walking for an unknown period of time, he returned to his home and immediately felt a little hungry. He found a random breakfast shop and sat down. He ordered his favorite food, pasta, and ate slowly with a heavy heart. “Haylan, what happened? Why are you so worried?” 

At this moment, Xander walked over and ordered a plate of pasta. He sat down beside Haylan and looked at Haylan in confusion. 

After coming to Lightdom City, he had been living in Haylan’s house. While protecting Haylan’s family, he also taught skills to Charlie, George, and Harris. 

He wasn’t worried when Haylan didn’t return last night. He just felt that it was a little strange. 

Early this morning, before the Jaber family woke up, he woke up for his morning exercise and had breakfast. He happened to see Haylan also eating breakfast, so he walked over to ask. 

Haylan looked up at Xander and said calmly, “I’m fine.” 

Xander ate the pasta and looked at Haylan. He said in a deep voice, “No, something must have happened to you!” 

“I said I’m fine, so I’m fine. Eat your breakfast.” Haylan glared at him. 

Xander wanted to ask more, but after being glared at by Haylan, he did not dare to say anything else. He could only lower his head and have his breakfast. 

After breakfast, Haylan’s eyes became brighter and more determined. He finally made a decision in his heart. 

Since it had happened, there was nothing to be hesitant about. He had to be responsible! 

At the very least, before completing the master’s mission, he should let Reign have a strong self–protection ability and the ability to protect the Jaber family. 

He wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, “Xander, did anything happen at our house?” 

“It’s fine. Your parents are healthy. Moreover, your father learns the Heart Cultivation very well. Based on my preliminary estimation, it’s not a problem for him to live to 95 years old,” Xander said. 

Haylan was speechless. He emphasized, “I’m talking about our family!” 

Xander was enlightened and said, “It’s alright. After you left, Jeremy ran the family well.” 

“Is there extra manpower?” 

“Of course. Well, Haylan, what are you trying to do?” 

“Contact Yin–Yang Duo and ask them to bring a team over.” 

“Huh?” 

When Xander heard this, his expression changed drastically. “Haylan, what… are you doing? Do you want to assassinate Steve?” 

Yin–Yang Duo were the super experts of the Shadow Knight. They were in charge of assassination and protection, and they were very strong. They had already reached the one–star god–class level!
