“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 s 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 blood–tonifying 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

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

asked you a question. Did you raid a tomb?”

Reign directed her attention to the main issue and turned to look at Yvonne. There was a shocked and

gloomy look on her face.

“Precisely speaking, I didn’t raid a tomb but I explored a tomb.

“Three months ago, several archaeologists discovered an ancient tomb and recruited a group of people

to explore the tomb. I joined them and found these ancient remedies in the tomb,” Yvonne said.

“It’s the tomb that caused many deaths three months ago and received widespread attention in the

news?” Reign asked astonishedly.

“That’s right. I was lucky enough to have escaped alive,” Yvonne said.

Instead of hiding it from Reign and Haylan, Yvonne told them everything that had happened to her

truthfully.

The scrolls were originally found in a secret chamber by another person. But after taking them out, the

tomb began to collapse and buried that

person.

Yvonne spent a painstaking effort to take the remedies out and keep them with her.

“Did the archaeologists know that you have these sheepskin scrolls?” Reign asked with a frown.

“Exploring a tomb?

“It is so dangerous. She could die or encounter some scary paranormal being.

“I can’t believe Yvonne has the nerve to do that.

“She is such a dare–devil,” Reign thought.

“No. We agreed to keep the exploration to the tome confidential. We didn’t have to hand over the things

we found. So, it’s not illegal for me to keep these remedies,” Yvonne explained.

Haylan glanced at the remedies and said, “I can’t decipher the texts. So, I can’t be of help.”

“Wait. I’ll call a historian over to decipher it now.”

Yvonne did not want to give up. She immediately took out her phone and called a history professor she

knew, trying to ask him to come over and decode the text.

Unfortunately, the call did not go through.

Haylan’s face went grim. He looked at Yvonne and said in a low voice, “The things obtained from a

tomb will bring you bad luck.

“It is true that these sheepskin scrolls are valuable, but if you keep them at home for a long time,

something bad is bound to happen.

“Ms. Lynch, there’s a shadow between your brows and a dark cloud is hovering over your head.

“I advise you to get rid of the scrolls quickly. Otherwise, it may get you killed.”

“You know face reading?” Yvonne was curious.
