Chapter 703 Top Secret

A poisonous wasp would die as soon as it stung, which meant new ones had to be bred for other missions.

After a while, Jared reminded Rayleigh, “Mr. Deragon, Lyanna might be connected to Mapleton somehow. Apart

from using the Seduction Technique, she could also release poisonous gas. Fortunately, the gas couldn’t harm me,

for I could absorb it by using Focus Technique.”

“Let’s go and ask Lyanna about her background.”

Rayleigh also opined that it was a chance to figure out Melanie’s past.

When Jared and Rayleigh entered the room, Melanie and Lyanna were sitting next to each other and chattering

happily. Since they appeared to be very close, one would think that they had known each other for many years.

Lyanna stopped smiling and talking when she saw Jared and Rayleigh coming in.

“How are you related to Mapleton?” Rayleigh asked Lyanna straightforwardly.

Given the sensitivity of the question, Lyanna closed her mouth and didn’t say a word.

Meanwhile, Melanie introduced, “Lyanna, this is Mr. Deragon. He is kind-hearted and has raised me since I was a

baby. Please feel free to tell him your story.”

Since Melanie vouched for Rayleigh, Lyanna finally said, “The Poison King in Mapleton is my godfather. I grew up in

Mapleton.”

Rayleigh was shocked when he heard Lyanna’s words. Assuming that Melanie and Lyanna are twins, their parents

died due to Mapleton’s wasp venom. In that case, why did the Mapletons adopt Lyanna?

“In that case, you must have been sent by the Poison King. I’m assuming the Poison King intends to avenge his

godson.”

Jared saw the whole picture upon knowing the Poison King had sent Lyanna here. Since he had killed the Poison

King’s godson, Fabian, and destroyed the Crescent Sect, it was logical that the Poison King wanted to punish him.

Meanwhile, Lyanna looked up at Jared and sneered, “Since Godfather has dozens of godsons, why should he care

about Fabian? All of them are merely his pawns who provide him with herbs and resources. Hence, their deaths

won’t mean anything to him. Why would he avenge any of his late godsons?”

“If the Poison King doesn’t intend to avenge Fabian, why did he send you after me?” Jared asked, doubts filling his

mind.

Lyanna responded determinedly, “That’s a Mapleton secret, so I’m not telling you.”

Even if Jared resorted to violence, Lyanna wouldn’t reveal anything to him.

Thus, Rayleigh asked Melanie, “Melanie, do you know how your parents died?”

“Mr. Deragon, didn’t you say you found me on the street? Have you met my parents before?”

Melanie was taken aback by Rayleigh’s sudden question. After all, he had never mentioned her parents to her.

Rayleigh shook his head and said, “I’ve never met your parents before. However, Brody met them when he first

saw you. It was your parents who begged him to bring you away. Besides that, your parents died due to Mapleton’s

wasp venom. After their deaths, Brody buried your late parents before he left.”

Melanie couldn’t help but look at Lyanna when she heard that their parents had died due to Mapleton’s wasp

venom.

At the same time, Lyanna was also shocked. She immediately stood up and exclaimed, “That’s impossible! Only the

Poison King can use Mapleton’s venomous wasps, and he will not use the wasps lightly. How could it be that our

parents died due to wasp venom? Moreover, if the Poison King killed our parents, why would he raise me?”

Since Lyanna was sure that Melanie was her sister, Melanie’s parents were also hers.

Nonetheless, Lyanna refused to believe that their parents died because of wasp venom.
