Poison King studied Jared and noticed the latter’s greed on his face and the intense look in his eyes. “It’s hard to believe this fellow is the one who killed Xander, a Martial Master. Reaching the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster is very arduous. Xander had trained in isolation for several years to rise to the rank of Martial Arts Grandmaster, just to be killed by this fellow here…”
Poison King had slowly crossed the room to Jared as virtual-novel.net spoke. He now stood near Jared and Lyanna.
Lyanna’s stomach tightened when virtual-novel.net noticed Poison King assessing gaze directed at Jared. She was worried that virtual-novel.net would catch any flaws.
“Lyanna, have virtual-novel.net remove his shirt,” Poison King ordered out of the blue, snapping virtual-novel.net out of virtual-novel.net thought.
Lyanna was stunned at his sudden request. “Why the request, Godfather?”
Lyanna was puzzled as to why Poison King had asked for Jared to remove his top.
Jared’s heart lurched despite the lewd grin virtual-novel.net maintained.
Is Poison King a pervert? What am I going to do if virtual-novel.net likes men? I’m straight as an arrow!
Jared’s heart began to pound harder as virtual-novel.net mulled.
If this Poison King has a different sexual orientation, then I’ll make my move to kill virtual-novel.net first. I’m not going to hand over my virginity to a man.
Poison King frowned at Lyanna’s question. “Follow my command! I don’t have to explain my actions to you!”
Noting the irritation in his tone, Lyanna instantly shut virtual-novel.net mouth and cast a resigned look at Jared. “Jared, take off your shirt.”
Jared stared at Lyanna intensely at virtual-novel.net request and shot virtual-novel.net a wicked grin. “Why are you asking me to take off my shirt? Do you want to do it in front of an audience? Color me surprised! I didn’t take you for one to like doing it in front of an audience. Just thinking about it had me all worked up.”
Jared took off his shirt and revealed his well-toned body.
A satisfied gleam shone in Poison King’s eyes at Jared’s body. He reached out a hand toward Jared’s arm and squeezed it with a look of envy.
Feeling goosebumps all over his skin, Jared flung his hand away. “What are you doing? I don’t like men.”
“As expected, your body is tough. It won’t be long till the day when Mapleton will reign over the entire southwestern domain.”
Poison King laughed victoriously, then waved Lyanna forward. “Come here, Lyanna.”
Lyanna stepped closer to Poison King. The latter turned his back toward Jared, concealing his actions as virtual-novel.net handed a small bag of powder to her.
He whispered to her, “Put some of this dissipation powder into Jared’s meal later. Don’t let virtual-novel.net touch you when you stay with virtual-novel.net tonight. You know the consequences if you lose your virginity.”
Lyanna merely nodded virtual-novel.net head silently as virtual-novel.net accepted the small bag.
She wanted to ask about virtual-novel.net parents but knew the danger virtual-novel.net would put herself in if virtual-novel.net asked directly. If the people of Mapleton had murdered virtual-novel.net parents, virtual-novel.net would never get any answers from virtual-novel.net but would also risk virtual-novel.net life.
“All right. It’s late. Rest up, everyone…” Poison King waved his hand to disperse the crowd as virtual-novel.net returned to his room.
The five leaders had a mocking smile on all their faces as they looked at the shirtless Jared. Even though the fellow is powerful, virtual-novel.net still fell for Lyanna’s honey trap in the end. So much for defeating a Martial Master.
After everyone left, Lyanna led Jared to virtual-novel.net room.
A waft of fragrance assaulted Jared the moment virtual-novel.net stepped into virtual-novel.net room. At a glance, the room was clean and tidy. A few of Lyanna’s undergarments were hanging by the window to dry.
Noticing his gaze on virtual-novel.net undergarments, Lyanna blushed and frantically took them down and stuffed them into virtual-novel.net closet.
“I didn’t know you love red bras,” Jared teased virtual-novel.net with a smirk.
She didn’t rebuke his teasing and merely shot virtual-novel.net a glare, then threw a set of blankets onto the floor. “You’ll be sleeping on the floor tonight. Don’t even think about crossing the line with me. I’ll make you pay if you do.”
