A Man Like None Other Chapter 719

Chapter 719 It Does Not Matter

“Poison King, who is he?” Carlos questioned grimly.

“Oh! He’s just a foolish punk…” Poison King explained hastily. He then yelled out, “Bring him away and lock him up!”

Without hesitation, Weston and the others stepped forward to grab hold of Jared and drag him out.

Jared struggled frantically, putting on a show that he seemed to have lost every bit of his martial energy.

“Let go of me! Lyanna is mine!” he continued to squeal at the top of his lungs, but nobody gave any hoots to him. Moments later, he was dragged away by Weston and the others.

When Carlos did not sense anything amiss, a faint smile broke out on his face. “It seems many others have fallen head over heels for Ms. Lyanna!”

“Ah! Mr. Xuereb, how can those small fries be comparable to you! Three days later, I’ll ensure Lyanna is glamorously dressed before waiting for your arrival!” Poison King smiled gleefully.

Other than him, only a few members of Mapleton knew that Lyanna was born with the aptitude to bewitch. Hence, he would continue to keep mum about it to Carlos.

“Hahaha! I’d better go back now for the necessary preparations. Please excuse me.” Carlos rose and waved to Poison King respectfully.

“See you, Mr. Xuereb. Kindly see yourself out,” Poison King replied courteously.

Once Carlos stepped out of Mapleton, his lips contorted into a smirk as he mumbled triumphantly, “Haha! The aptitude to bewitch is undoubtedly awesome. Look at how that foolish fellow is bewitched by the Seduction Technique! After absorbing Lyanna’s life force energy later, I’ll be able to reach the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!”

Meanwhile, Lyanna was on pins and needles. Her hands were intertwined as she feared that Jared would not be able to endure it when the venomous creatures in the room attacked him.

Even though Jared’s combat prowess had not been affected by the dissipation powder, all the venomous creatures in the room were deadly. Thus, Lyanna was worried sick that he would not be able to withstand them for long.

Soon, Weston and the others were back and updated Poison King, “Poison King, we’ve locked the brat up in the room. He’s yowling inside now, but we wonder if he can endure it for seven days!”

“It doesn’t matter if he can stand it. As long as I can break through my current stage and become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, it won’t be any issues even if I can’t cultivate the cadaver king successfully.” Poison King smiled placidly.

“Poison King, don’t you doubt if Carlos Xuereb is trustworthy? Why do they need to talk us into allying with them when they have slowly come to prominence lately? Not to mention, they still have their mystical water from the magic spring! Could it be he’s not solely thinking of marrying Ms. Lyanna?” Weston asked warily. Somehow, he sensed something awry.

“Hahaha! Do you think I’ll be easily fooled by him? Regardless of what kind of ulterior motive they have, I’ll get Lyanna to delude him with the Seduction Technique after they get married. It will gradually drive a wedge between him and his father, causing them to turn on each other. When the Empyrean Sect is in an absolute mess without its leader’s guidance, it will eventually fall into our hands!” Poison King guffawed.

His eyes glistened with utter anticipation as though he was already standing on the peak of the mountain where the Empyrean Sect was located.

“Poison King, you’re indeed our ray of hope!” Weston and the others buttered him up hastily.

“Lyanna, you’re not allowed to step out of Mapleton these few days. Stay at home obediently till I wipe out the Empyrean Sect. By then, I’ll surely upgrade your prowess!” Poison King tried to reassure Lyanna.

“Noted, Godfather!” Lyanna dared not retort or go against his will.

“All of you must keep an eye on her. Don’t let her sneak out!” Poison King instructed Weston and the others, fearing that Lyanna would flee at any moment.

Consequently, Lyanna did not manage to check on Jared’s condition as she could not even step out of her room.

In the meantime, dozens of venomous creatures were darting hither and thither in an enclosed room in Mapleton.

The room was pitch-black, and a toxic gas suffused it.
