A Man Like None Other - Season 8 Episode 56

“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.

“Are you acquainted with her? Do me a favor and introduce us, please?” Callum implored hopefully, promptly coming over upon seeing that Curtis was acquainted with Lyanna.

It looked like he had taken an interest in Lyanna.

Curtis glanced at him, murmuring, “If you don’t want to die, it’s best that you don’t make her acquaintance.”

At that warning, Callum’s enthusiasm swiftly dampened, and he meekly returned to his mother’s side.

“Sit tight, Mom. I’ll have Curtis treat you,” he crouched and said to his mother devotedly.

When Shawn heard that, embarrassment crept onto his face, and he glanced at Jared. He asked Jared over, yet his son also invited someone over, and it was Curtis at that. As such, he couldn’t tell the man to leave. If it were an ordinary doctor, he would’ve long since shown the man the door. But now, should I have Curtis or Jared treat my wife’s illness? Things became awkward as he couldn’t quite make up his mind.

Likewise, Spencer was a tad mortified. He was the person who persuaded Jared to come, yet things had turned into such a mess. Hence, he leaned close to Jared and whispered, “Mr. Chance, Callum didn’t know that we have invited you over, so please don’t take offense.”

Smiling, Jared shook his head and replied, “It’s okay.”

Relief suffused Shawn when he saw that Jared wasn’t offended.

“In that case, please take a look at my wife, Curtis.”

He gestured for Curtis to look Jane over. Jared merely gave his diagnosis without examining his wife earlier, so he was somewhat skeptical.

“You flatter me, Mr. Robinson. I’ll take a look at Mrs. Robinson right away.”

After saying that, Curtis strode over to Jane.

Curtis and Callum exchanged a glance. While they were very stealthy, Jared still keenly noticed it.
