“No wonder you managed to invite someone from Turcoln with just five million! It turns out that it's your son's classmate, huh?” Lyanna exclaimed at the side, realization dawning upon her after hearing that.
The disciples of Turcoln were all proud and arrogant, so it was a pipe dream to invite them with a mere five million.
Following her comment, Curtis immediately snapped his head back and stared at her. “Miss, it seems that you also know about Turcoln?” Although Turcoln was very renowned in the southwest, they were currently in Nuthana. Being thousands of kilometers apart, very few had ever heard of it.
“I know of it since it's exceedingly renowned in the southwest. But I've never heard of you,” Lyanna answered with a faint smile.
Despite her remark, Curtis didn’t get into a snit. Instead, he studied her closely. All of a sudden, his eyes lit up. “You're from Mapleton?”
“Yes, I'm from Mapleton.” Lyanna nodded nonchalantly, not bothering to hide that fact from him.
In response to his admission, a smile bloomed on Curtis' face. “No wonder you know about Turcoln. It turns out that you're from Mapleton. Anyway, there's only one such beautiful woman in Mapleton—Poison King's goddaughter, Lyanna. You're Ms. Lyanna, no?”
Lyanna was instantly over the moon to hear that. After all, girls undoubtedly loved being complimented on their looks.
“Yup, I'm Lyanna.” Lyanna nodded in affirmation.
“If I'm not mistaken, this must be Jared then,” Curtis ventured, shifting his gaze to Jared.
“How do you know him?” Lyanna was wholly stunned.
“Probably everyone in the southwest knows of him since few would dare kill the heir of the Empyrean Sect. The leader of the Empyrean Sect, Hayden, is livid and is presently looking for you both everywhere. Yesterday, those from the Empyrean Sect attacked Mapleton, causing considerable casualties. If it weren't for the president of the martial arts stepping in, Mapleton would've likely been wiped out,” Curtis sneered.
Lyanna's heart clenched when she heard that Mapleton was almost decimated. While she had left and would never return for the rest of her life, she was still anguished at the news.
