The Invincible Mercenary King

Chapter 70

Not only Yvonne was bewildered, but Reign also glanced at Haylan in confusion.

She then looked at Yvonne carefully, but she didn’t see any shadow between Yvonne’s brows, let alone a dark cloud hovering over her head.

“I know a thing or two,” Haylan said lightly.

“I think you’re just bragging. Face reading is very difficult to master,” Yvonne said.

In her opinion, Haylan’s incredible medical skills must be a result of a great deal of hard work and studying day and night.

He could not possibly have extra time to learn face reading which was the most mystical and difficult practice in Longhard Kingdom.

“I’m really not lying to you. There’s a sinister energy swirling around your head which obviously has something to do with the sinister energy of the sheepskin scrolls.”

Haylan warned with a stern face, “If you don’t deal with it as soon as possible, calamity will fall upon you in less than three days.

“You’ll probably suffer some injuries.

“Or worst, your life will be in danger.”

“Are you trying to scare me? I don’t believe it.” Yvonne said.

She had gone through a lot of trouble to retrieve the ancient remedies from the tomb. It was a chance to prove herself and a stepping stone for her to develop a miracle pill.

So, she would never give up simply because Haylan said something bad would happen to her.

Haylan furrowed his brows without going on.

As a matter of fact, medicine in ancient times was very powerful, but practitioners then faced some limitations too.

For example, based on historical records, alchemists at that time often used heavy metals to refine pills. Rulers who wanted to live forever mostly died from heavy metal poisoning.

Therefore, in Haylan’s view, the remedies on the sheepskin scrolls might not work magic. Instead, they could be poisons.

It was probably not good that Yvonne valued the remedies so much and wouldn’t let them go.

However, she was so adamant and there was nothing Haylan could do. After all, the scrolls belonged to her. He had no right to destroy them.

“Since you can tell people’s fate by reading their faces, can you predict what will happen to me in the near future?” Reign asked curiously.

“You?”

Haylan studied Reign’s face for a moment and said in a deep voice, “You have a round and prominent forehead. Your face is glowing, and your lips are rosy. You have been lucky in love lately. Your suitor has also changed a little. You feel comfortable with him and you start to look at him in a new light.”

“How do you know?”

Reign was taken aback.

Her suitor, Larry, had been behaving like a different person recently, He suddenly became very gentlemanly and she also liked the gifts he gave her.

Reign couldn’t help but wonder, “How come he knows that?”

Haylan’s expression was grave as he said, “Not only do I know that you’re lucky in love, but I also discover something else. There’s a wisp of dark energy in your Life Palace, which means you’re going to be hit by a crisis.

“The Life Palace is associated with the overall ups and downs of one’s life and it has something to do with the person closest to you. In other words, your crisis is related to your family. Someone in your family wants to deal with you and take away your power. Am I right?”

Upon hearing that, Reign suddenly stood up and asked emotionally, “You can see that?”

Recently, someone in the Labenz family had indeed targeted her and put her in dire straits. If she hadn’t launched the blood–tonifying pill and the scar removal ointment, she would probably have lost her title as the CEO.

Even though the two medicine had been put on the market, she had only stabilized her position as the CEO. There were still many people in the family who were hostile toward her and wanted to ruin her.

In fact, at the board meeting in the afternoon that day, some elders in the family had even suggested dividing her share and arranging for their people to help her in order to strip her of her power.

To put it bluntly, although she held a high post, her life was tough as she was in a difficult situation, surrounded by enemies.

However, she had never mentioned that to anyone.

“How could Haylan have seen through that? This is unbelievable!”

“The face is the index of the mind. Some face reading masters can predict the trajectory of your luck from your facial features,” Haylan said.

“Then do you know how to resolve the crisis?” Reign asked again.

Haylan looked at her for a long time before saying, “I can’t reveal God’s design.”

After hearing Haylan’s words, Reign frowned slightly without asking further.

“Alright, Mr. Jaber, stop playing tricks. Let’s get back to business. How are we going to decipher these remedies?” Yvonne asked.

“I can’t solve it unless you’ve translated it. We’ll talk about it after you get someone to translate it. Alright, I’ve got something to do. I’ll take my leave first. Bye.”

Haylan waved his hand and turned to leave. The two beautiful women looked at each other in surprise.

“Mr. Jaber, how can you leave just like that? There are other remedies that I copied.”

After regaining her composure, Yvonne wanted to chase after him.

But Reign pulled her back. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Rei, what’s wrong? I’m going to get Haylan back,” Yvonne said anxiously.

“Yvie, you have to tell me. How did you meet him?” Reign asked.

After returning from overseas, she had considered hiring Haylan to be

her personal bodyguard and even sent Landon to test him.

Unfortunately, she had been occupied with work, board meetings, and pressing problems in the company since then. She was so busy that she could not find time to talk to Haylan.

Unexpectedly, the second time they met was at Yvonne’s house, and Haylan had barged into the bathroom when she was taking a bath.

Reign’s face turned red when she recalled the situation in which Haylan had seen her naked.

It was too embarrassing.

“Of course, I met him in the lab. Rei, he’s the security guard I told you about,” Yvonne explained.

“Security guard? So you’re saying Haylan has joined Mapleturz Group and the scar removal ointment was developed by him?” Reign was astounded.

“It’s not just the scar removal ointment. He also perfected our newly–launched blood–tonifying pill,” Yvonne said.

When Reign heard that, her eyes

And she fell silent.

widened.

It was all Haylan’s credit that they could develop the blood–tonifying pill and the scar removal ointment successfully.

In other words, it was all thanks to him that Reign was able to establish herself in her family.

It turned out that Haylan had been helping her in secret.

“But why did Haylan reject my offer when we returned to the country and joined my company as a security guard without telling me if he wants to help me?

“Why did he do this?

“Is he interested in me and wants to approach me in this way? Or does he have a secret agenda?”

Reign became pensive and lost in thought. She felt that she could not see through Haylan at all and figure out what he was going to do.

However, after meeting with him again, she felt a strong sense of security

for no reason.

“What a strange guy. But since he has joined our company, how can I let him be an insignificant security guard?”

Reign’s eyes lit up as she thought of an idea. She immediately took out her phone and made a call. “Pass on my instruction. From tomorrow onwards, Haylan will be the deputy head of the security department,” she said in a deep voice.

“Rei, you want to give Haylan a promotion and a raise?” Yvonne was shocked.

“Is there a problem?” asked Reign.

“There’s a big problem.”

Yvonne sat down and said seriously, “Dear Reign, I now formally request that you transfer Haylan to my department and appoint him as the vice manager of the research and development department.”

“Knock it off,” Reign said in a stern voice.

“It’s also a promotion. You let him be the deputy head of the security department. It’s a complete waste of talent. Haylan should be the manager of the research and development department,” Yvonne said.

Reign’s face darkened, and a mysterious light flashed across her eyes. She said in a low voice, “Yvie, you can develop the medicine on your own. I have an important mission for Haylan.”

“An important mission?”

Yvonne looked at Reign in puzzlement. “Rei, what are you up to?”
