“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.
