The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 69

Chapter69 

Why am I suddenly unable to speak

Could it be that someone attacked my acupoint and turned me into a mute?” 

Lucas stood in the hall, unable to move. His mouth was wide open but he could not make a sound. His pupils dilated in great shock

He was stunned

Acupoint striking

This martial art technique is real

What describes in the novels is also real

This is unbelievable!” 

The astonished, angry, and annoyed look in his eyes changed into surprise, curiosity, and yearning

If he learned the technique, he would be a top dog at school

He could even fight against those thugs outside the school

Moreover, that martial arts skill would allow him to brag for a long time

His curiosity was aroused at the thought of it

On the second floor, Yara was taking Haylan to her room

Reign had changed her clothes and was drying her hair with a hairdryer at the moment

Her long, black hair was fluttering in the wind from the hairdryer

Her beautifully chiseled side face was impeccable and nothing needed to be changed

She was so fair and her glossy porcelain skin was breathtaking

Haylan stared at her and was completely mesmerized

When he had escorted Reign back from abroad, he did not realize that she was so beautiful

Chapter 69 

Reign was covered in mud when she was abducted. even though she had washed up when she boarded the plane and looked radiant and gorgeous, Haylan was too eager to go home to admire her beauty

Now that they had met again, he finally realized how beautiful Reign was

A fleeting glance at her fine figure would blow one’s mind away

Her divine beauty was accentuated by her lustrous eyes and dazzling 

smile

Her graceful demeanor oozed natural charm and made people unable to take their eyes off her

You’re so pretty,Haylan complimented from the bottom of his heart

Thank you. Have a seat.” 

Reign was drying her hair while gesturing for Haylan to sit down. Then, she said to Yara, Yvonne, it’s time for you to give me an explanation, okay?” 

Yvonne?” 

Haylan looked at Yara in surprise

Isn’t her name Yara?” 

Yara glanced at Reign and explained to Haylan, My real name is Yvonne Lynch. Yara is the name I use in the company

The reason I use a fake name and hide my true identity is because I’m afraid that others would say I got into the company by practicing nepotism.” 

Yvonne wanted to prove that she didn’t use her family’s power and connections to achieve success, so she always told others her name was Yara Irwin. And she had never made use of the resources of the Lynch family

So, you’re the witch that Wane and the others are talking about?Haylan blurted out

He regretted it the minute he said that

As expected, Yvonne’s face turned cold when she heard the word witch

I’m sorry. I didn’t give you that nickname,Haylan hurriedly explained

As he spoke, he sized up Yvonne in confusion

Yvonne was indeed domineering, arrogant, and a little cold. However, she was actually quite approachable and easy to talk to. Haylan didn’t understand why the security guards called her a witch

I know.” 

Yvonne walked to the table with a sullen face and took out ten sheepskin scrolls from the drawer. She placed them in front of Haylan and Reign and said, I called you guys over to study these ancient remedies

I didn’t read up on them in the company because I worry that it may do damage to the company if they’re leaked.” 

You still have so many ancient remedies?” 

Reign stood up. Her eyes sparkled with delight

The company’s stock had been soaring after she had announced the launch of the bloodtonifying pill and the scar removal ointment. Thus, her position as the CEO was firmly secured

Now that Yvonne had found ten more ancient remedies, if they did research on all of them successfully, Mapleturz Group would definitely be the number one in the pharmaceutical industry. Making billions of dollars wouldn’t be a dream

She looked at those sheepskin scrolls as though it was a book from 

heaven

The words on the scrolls were like scribbles, and she could understand none of them. Do you know what it’s written on them?” 

No. But I have my own plan and I can’t reveal it to you.Yvonne chuckled

Then can you figure this out?Reign asked

Yvonne shook her head, indicating that she could not

Reign’s eyes were filled with disappointment. Afterward, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Haylan. Yvie, ask Mr. Jaber to come over and see if he understands these remedies.” 

Reign knew that Haylan was a strong fighter, but she did not expect that he also possessed profound medical knowledge

Good idea.” 

Yvonne nodded and looked at Haylan expectantly. Mr. Jaber, can you decipher these remedies?” 

I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t.” 

Haylan took a glance at the scrolls and shook his head

Huh?Yvonne was surprised

I don’t understand these ancient texts. I can help you unless you’ve translated the text,” Haylan said

He didn’t study history. So, he really knew nothing about historical texts

In that case, we need a historian.Yvonne looked disappointed

Initially, she wanted to decipher the texts herself and studied the medical formulas with Haylan, hoping that she could become a secret ace of the company

But Haylan did not understand the ancient words, she could only turn to a historian

Haylan touched the sheepskin scrolls and sniffed at them. Looking at Yvonne with a puzzled expression, he said, These sheepskin scrolls are so old and they were written in ancient words. Besides, there’s some smell of dirt on them. Don’t tell me you hire someone to raid a tomb and steal these?” 

The smell of dirt?” 

Yvonne sniffed the scrolls hard in surprise

There is no smell at all!” 

After obtaining the sheepskin scrolls, she had cleaned them many times and all the marks that the sand of time left should have been removed. How does Haylan find out that they are cultural relics

Reign also took a sniff, and there was a confused look on her face

There’s indeed no smell,she said

The two women looked at Haylan at the same time. How come you can smell it?” 

My nose is different than yours.” 

Chapter 69 

Haylan touched his nose and said, Besides, aren’t you focusing on the wrong thing? Ms. Lynch, I’ve asked you a question. Did you raid a tomb?”
