The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 714

“Don't worry. I'm a gentleman. I won't force you. In fact, I want you to do it willingly if I ever want to sleep with you.”

Jared flashed her a confident smile as he arranged his mattress on the floor.

“Who in the world will want to sleep with you,” she muttered softly.

With a roll of her eyes at him, Lyanna climbed into bed without changing out of her clothes.

She didn't tell Jared about the dissipation powder because she wasn't planning on feeding it to him. Aware that he would be nothing more than an average man awaiting his death if he lost all his powers and recovered them after twelve hours.

She lay in bed for a long while and couldn't fall asleep. Hearingjared's carefree snore, she sat up feeling frustrated. “Oh my, how can you still sleep so soundly knowing you will turn into a cadaver king soon?”

She changed into an all-black catsuit, then snuck out of the room. Since she couldn't ask Poison King directly, she would have to poke her nose around to search for clues about her parents. Right after she shut the door to her room, the snoring Jared opened his eyes immediately. With a curl of his lips, he followed her out.

She made a beeline for the second floor where Poison King sleeps. After having stayed there for twenty years, she was familiar with the cabin and the timing of the guards' patrol. It was a piece of cake for her to dodge all the patrolling guards.

Soon, she made it to the second floor. She didn’t find anything after sneaking around the common area. She knew the secrets of Poison King would be locked in his bedroom, but there was a strict rule that nobody could enter his bedroom without his permission.

Never once had she entered his room in the twenty years she had stayed in Mapleton. She was never curious about his bedroom until now when she needed to search for clues about her parents.

A sense of helplessness filled Lyanna as she studied it. Even though she possessed martial arts skills, she didn't have the skills to open the safe. She could open the safe by force, but that would risk Poison King finding out someone had snuck into his room.

Her gaze darted around the room as she contemplated, finally landing on a piece of photo on the table. Picking up the photo, she scrutinized it under the moonlight.

Her entire body stiffened when she saw the people in the photo. She could recognize the young man in the photo as Poison King when he was younger, but there was a young girl too. The girl looked familiar to Lyanna because she looked very similar to herself.

Despite the photo being slightly yellowed from its age, Lyanna was sure she was related to the girl in the photo for they looked too alike to deny any relation.

Still immersed in analyzing the photo, Lyanna didn't notice Poison King had sat up. “Who is it?” His shout startled her. She swiftly pocketed the photo and leaped out of the window.
