The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 285

“Haylan, your handwriting is very good.”

Mia said as she watched him write, her eyes shining.

The dragon he painted was magnificent, with strokes resembling the movements of one. Each stroke

seemed to contain a terrifying aura as if a real dragon was about to burst out of the paper.

His painting skill was way ahead of many well-known artists.

Most importantly, he did not paint with a pen but with his fingers.

It could be seen that his skills were even more profound.

“I used to paint just for fun when I had nothing else to do,” he said.

After all, when cultivating Internal Strength, he had to be completely focused!

In the past, when he had just started learning from his master, he often had a hard time concentrating

and would daydream as soon as he closed. his eyes.

At that time, his master told him to practice painting, read scriptures, copy books, and so on, in order to

refine and cultivate himself.

It was exactly because of years of practice that his heart became calm, allowing him to concentrate on

practicing without any distractions, and thus, he was able to develop particularly good skills in both

painting and calligraphy.

After he had finished drawing the talisman characters around the dragon, he immediately stopped and

pressed his fingers to stop the bleeding.

Then, he blew the talisman dry and folded it into a very strange shape, placing it in Ceci’s hand and

saying, “You must keep this talisman close to you. You can’t be away from it even when you shower!”

“With it, all the evil spirits can’t get within 32 feet of you.”

“32 feet?” Ceci was overjoyed.

If that was the case, she would be able to sleep peacefully.

“Dragons rule over thunder and lightning, so they are the nemesis of almost all evil spirits. This dragon

talisman has exactly such an effect, he

“Thank you. I’ll take it. How much is it? I’ll give it to you.” Ceci quickly kept the dragon talisman as if she

had obtained a treasure.

“You’re Mimi’s friend, so I won’t take your money,” he said.

She thanked Haylan again upon hearing this, then turned to her friend, saying, “Mimi, your friend is

really kind.”

“Of course.” Mia beamed with a big smile.

Haylan looked at Mia and said, “Let’s not post this on social media. I don’t want to draw attention to

myself.”

Mia stuck out her tongue, made a face, and said, “Okay.”

“The matter is resolved. I have to go to work now. Thanks for the meal,” he said casually.

With that, he opened the door and left.

After he had left, Ceci carefully looked at the dragon talisman and said, “Mimi, is this thing really so

magical?”

Mia proudly showed off her protective gem and said, “This gem wast given to me by Haylan, and you

did witness its magic last night, didn’t you?”

Ceci looked at Mia’s protective gem, then at the dragon talisman, and immediately gained confidence,

putting the talisman somewhere close to herself.

The previous night, they had a terrifying encounter with the evil spirits. and were nearly attacked.

However, Mia’s protective gem suddenly glimmered and caused harm to the spirits, ultimately forcing

them to flee and allowing them to escape without any harm.

Since both the talisman and the protective gem came from Haylan, they must be very effective.

Ceci stowed the dragon talisman away and expressed her envy, “Mimi, you are so fortunate to have

such a vast social circle and even have a friend who is such a master. You’re really lucky!”

Out of nowhere, she recollected what Haylan had mentioned before, and her eyes grew wide with

incredulity as she gazed at Mia. “Wait, did he say social media? Could he possibly be the one in the

official promo picture

with you?”

Mia chuckled and said, “You have sharp eyes, my friend. Yes, it’s him. Handsome, isn’t he?”

Ceci sincerely replied, “He’s really handsome! You have good eyes. One can tell that he is very

capable.”

Mia looked even more smug, saying with a smile, “That’s why I came here to film, to find him. This

time, I’ll definitely make him mine!”

“Congratulations, you’ve found your Mr. Right,” Ceci congratulated.

However, for some reason, she felt a bit bitter when she said. congratulations.

At the same time, her face turned slightly red.

Her heart beat even faster, especially when she thought about how she had undressed and exposed

herself to Haylan.

This was the first time a man had seen her naked. It was also the first time a man had touched and

stroked her tattoo like this.

If it were any other man, it would be fine, but this man was Mia’s love. interest, making her feel like she

was a third wheel intruding on someone else’s relationship.

If they were to get married in the future, she would not know how to face them both.

Mia did not notice her friend’s embarrassed and blushing expression. She looked at the man’s

departing back with a fiery gaze and said, “This time, I won’t miss my chance with him again!”

It was already past ten in the morning when Haylan arrived at the Mapleturz Group.

Fortunately, he was the department head and did not have to clock in. Otherwise, he would have had

his pay deducted.

After assigning Wane, William, and others their work, he returned to his office to continue reading the

math training manual.

At this moment, a call came in. He looked down and saw that it was from Evelyn.

He answered the phone. “What’s up?”

“Haylan, have you moved?” Evelyn’s voice was filled with puzzlement.

Ever since Haylan had offended Maxwell previously, she had been deliberately keeping a distance from

him, avoiding interaction whenever possible.

Later, when she saw that Haylan’s stocks and funds had risen, she did not want to miss out on a

wealthy husband like him, so she wanted to apologize.

However, when she arrived at his previous place, she found that he had moved away.

After thinking about it for a long time, she finally mustered the courage to call him.

“Yes,” he replied.

He had no feelings for her and knew that she was a snobbish woman.

However, since they were classmates, he did not want to make things. difficult between them.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were moving?” she asked.

Haylan felt a little amused when he heard this.

After all, the two were just ordinary classmates, meaning they were not close enough. Naturally, there

was no way that he would tell her about him moving somewhere else.

It seemed to him that she was being overly sensitive.

Haylan did not expose Evelyn’s thoughts. Instead, he said calmly, “Something happened and I moved

away at the last minute. What’s the matter?”

Evelyn seemed to know that she could not dwell on this matter, so she quickly changed the subject.

“Haylan, I know you’re very rich, but Maxwell isn’t someone who can be defeated with money. He has

some terrifying people behind him, and we can’t afford to offend him.”

“I know,” he said calmly.

However, in his eyes, there was no one he could not afford to offend.

When Evelyn heard his words, she immediately knew that he was not very concerned about this

matter. She frowned slightly and said, “How

about this? I’m still quite familiar with Maxwell, and I can organize a

dinner party. Perhaps you can come and apologize to him?”
