The Invincible Mercenary King (Haylan Jaber)

Chapter 282

Ceci looked at her chest, then glared at Haylan.

Last night, when she encountered the evil spirit with Mia, she tried to utilize the amulet she had

obtained from the church to evict it.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless.

That evil spirit, which was incomparably ferocious, destroyed those protective crystals, healing stones,

and so on.

At the critical moment, it was the protective gem that Haylan had given to Mia that worked. It saved

their lives and even injured that spirit, scaring it away.

Therefore, after the successful escape, the first thing Ceci wanted to do was to meet Haylan, hoping to

ask him for a protective gem.

She did not expect him to look at her chest and bring up a “bad omen” during their first meeting.

She was especially disgusted by such a lecher.

“Don’t I show enough respect?”

Haylan, meanwhile, did not know that she had such thoughts. He said with a serious expression, “Miss

Lawson, I’m telling you seriously that you are emitting an evil aura from your chest and there’s a

murderous. aura lingering between your eyebrows!

“It’s a bad omen, a very bad omen.

“I reckon that there’s a very fierce evil spirit pestering you. Ordinary people can’t subdue it at all.”

Ceci’s expression turned sullen as she glared at him. “Omen? You lecher, how dare you bring up bad

omens?”

When Mia heard their conversation, she was first shocked, then she immediately understood what had

happened and burst out laughing.

The other two immediately looked at her in confusion.

Mia grinned and explained, “Ceci, you’ve misunderstood. The bad omen he mentioned is indeed

extremely dangerous. That is why he looked at your chest. He didn’t mean to be a lecher.”

“A lecher?” Haylan frowned.

He thought about it and immediately understood.

He realized that Ceci probably thought that he was being lecherous when he looked at her chest.

He could not help but scratch his head, thinking to himself, “Are all women so sensitive? I was just

examining her. Why did she suddenly think of that kind of thing?”

Ceci was slightly dismayed after hearing the explanation.

She thought about it carefully and immediately understood that she had misunderstood Haylan.

“Mr. Jaber, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry,” she said in embarrassment.

“It’s fine. I totally understand,” he said.

“Haylan, since your protective gem has such wonderful effects, you must be able to catch those evil

spirits too. Perhaps you can also carve at protective gem for her so that she can be safe? Can you

help?” Mia asked.

“Only because you are the one asking, okay?” he replied.

In his mind, Mia was a good person, at least better than Evelyn. Back when he was a student, she

often gave him snacks and even shared with him chocolates imported from abroad.

Those snacks, chocolates, crackers, and so on were the sweetest and most delicious things he had in

high school, and they provided him a bit of warmth in his impoverished life.

Thus, of course, he would help when she asked.

“Really? Thank you, Haylan.” Mia was overjoyed.

Ceci was also overjoyed and quickly thanked him. “Thank you, Haylan. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay

you.”

“Money doesn’t matter to me. I’m not that superficial of a person. Just treat me to breakfast here. You

know, the food is pretty good,” he replied with a smile.

Ceci was more than willing, immediately placing the menu in front of him. “Haylan, feel free to order

anything. It’s my treat.”

Haylan did not stand on ceremony. He immediately picked up the menu and ordered seafood stew,

sausage rolls, pancakes, fruit platter, BBQ ribs, salad, rotisserie chicken, spaghetti carbonara, and so

on.

Soon, the dishes were served.

He happily indulged in the food.

Mia, who also missed the food here, started eating immediately as well.

Ceci had something on her mind and did not feel like eating, but seeing the duo eat, she had a little as

well.

The three of them chatted as they ate.

In the meantime, Ceci told him literally everything that had happened to her.

After eating, he wiped his mouth and said nostalgically, “That is exactly the food I have been missing.

Magpie Café. I’ve been thinking about all these for eight years!”

“Do you want more?” Mia smiled at him, her eyes filled with affection.

“No need, no need. I still have to go to work later.”

He put down the napkin and tidied up his clothes, then he looked at Ceci with a serious expression and

said in a deep voice, “Since you have treated me to this meal, I’ll see it all through.

“I won’t be giving you an emerald pendant. Instead, I’ll help you resolve this matter completely.”

“Really?”

Ceci was overjoyed. She immediately stood up and said excitedly, “Mr. Jaber. I will definitely repay you

in the future if you can help me solve it.”

She had been haunted by evil spirits for a long time. Not only was she unable to sleep at night, but she

was also tormented beyond one’s imagination. In other words, she was exhausted physically and

mentally.

If Haylan could help her solve the problem, she would definitely do everything in her power to repay

him.

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

She brightened up at his words and glanced at Mia.

Mia, hearing that, smirked with pleasure.

Ceci raised her thumb to Mia and then turned to Haylan. “Mr. Jaber, when can we start? Do you want

me to explain the situation to you first? Perhaps you want to come to my place to analyze the energy

forces?”

Haylan remained calm and stood up immediately, closing the door of the private room and looking

around to make sure there were no cameras before he relaxed.

He returned to her side and said, “There’s no better time than the present. I’ll help you solve it today.

“Get undressed!”

“Huh?” She was stunned.

“Haylan, what did you say?” Mia was also confused.

Haylan remained calm and determined, saying, “There’s only one way to solve the bad omen on your

body, and that’s to find the cause. Take off your clothes!”

“You lecher! I think you just want to take advantage of me!” Ceci gritted her teeth and glared at him.

“Haylan, what are you doing?” Mia’s expression changed, and she instantly stood up, trying to

persuade him to go to a place where there

was no one.

Without waiting for her to speak, Haylan said, “You’ve all misunderstood. I’m not trying to take

advantage of her, but to find the source.

“If I’m not mistaken, the reason she encountered evil spirits was because of the tattoos on her body.

“I told her to undress because I wanted to see the tattoos on her body.

“Only if I see her tattoo clearly will I have a way to deal with it.”

“You, how did you know that I have a tattoo on my body?” Ceci was shocked.

With a calm expression, Haylan said, “During the meal, you said that you went to the tattoo parlor and

encountered those evil spirits.

“I concluded that you must have a tattoo, and it’s precisely because of the tattoo that you encountered

these spirits.

“So, I want to see your tattoo.”

“Can I not show it to you?” Ceci’s face turned red.

The location of her tattoo was rather special, and if she showed it to him, she would be exposing

everything to him basically.

“I can’t guarantee that I can solve it if I don’t know what the tattoo is,” he said seriously.

With blushed cheeks, Ceci pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to

you.”

With that, she stood up and took off her clothes, revealing her tattoo in front of him.
