A Man Like None Other novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724 Steel Beetles

The members of Mapleton glared at Jared resentfully as Lyanna’s beauty was a source of pride for many of them. It was a great offense to them for an outsider to swoop in and claim her in such a dishonorable fashion.

“You can’t talk your way out of this one, Jared! Listen to yourself! Poison King raised Lyanna as his own. How dare you suggest something so disgusting?”

“Exactly. Lyanna is the one to have behaved indecently. She has broken every law we have.”

“Let’s kill them and be done with it!”

Soon, the cries for blood from the members of Mapleton grew to a deafening chant.

Lyanna wrapped Jared’s shirt tighter around her, resigned to the futility of trying to defend herself.

Jared suddenly began addressing the crowd with a satisfied smirk. “Fine. You got me. I took Lyanna’s virginity. And what a pleasure it was! What are you going to do about it?”

His provocation incensed the crowd further, though nobody dared to take the first step as the memory of him slaying a Martial Arts Grandmaster remained vividly in their minds. As angry as the mob was, they were hesitant about stepping forth only to be killed on the spot.

Jared turned his smug smile to Poison King. “Look at all you cowards. Does nobody dare step forth to defend her honor? How about you, old man?”

Poison King glowered at Jared as he grounded his teeth almost flat in anger. “Don’t imagine for a second that you’ve become invincible for having slain Xander! Although I have yet to achieve the rank of Martial Arts Grandmaster, I am still Poison King, and this is still my kingdom. This slight will not go unpunished.”

His anger materialized into a tangible aura around him. By this point, I am forced to act.

As the rage of a Senior Grandmaster burst forth in all directions, the trees in their vicinity creaked and groaned as they were bent from the shockwave.

With zero regard for Poison King’s rage, Jared said impatiently, “Oh, is that so? Why don’t you come at me with something more realistic than empty threats?”
