The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: Who Stole This King’s Ghost Energy?

The sapphire blue intricately embroidered traditional gown, as always, had a luxurious and enchanting style.

Ivan just stood there on the empty Ghost Mayor Street shrouded in mist, strangely exuding a sort of eerie harmony.

The Ivan she just saw in the painting had a style that was somewhat similar yet noticeably different.

Scarlett Jennings could more or less guess the current situation.

These two people were probably here after watching the live broadcast of the competition.

The spiritual affairs project run by Ivan is deeply bound to the Underworld.

Being able to bind with the Underworld and not be restricted by it in the slightest means that there’s likely some solid connections involved.

Scarlett thought, the man who inexplicably trapped her in this ghost market, should be Ivan’s "connection."

Just didn’t know what exactly is the relationship between these two.

However, whatever the relationship might be, it wasn’t important for her right now.

The important thing was, these two were delaying her competition.

"If you know him well, could you ask him to let me leave here first?"

There is a time limit for the first match in the competition. If I don’t return before it’s over, I might be disqualified."

As for who to sell the scroll to, that can be negotiated after the competition is over.

If nothing works, these two can have a fight right here first.

Scarlett said this to Ivan, after all, compared to this suddenly appearing man enveloped in ghost energy around him, she was at least acquainted with Ivan.

Ivan listened to her and nodded, only soothing her with a glance for a second before looking at the man, and saying,

"Did you hear? She told you to buzz off."

Scarlett Jennings: ...

I did not, you’re talking nonsense.

She was clearly polite when she inquired just now.

The man in dark attire evidently didn’t care about Ivan’s attitude, he looked towards Scarlett Jennings on his own and asked her,

"What do you want?"

Scarlett Jennings opened her mouth, about to say something, when suddenly, golden light enveloped behind her.

The dazzling golden light drove away much of the bluish mist swirling in this ghost market.

Sensing the familiar aura suddenly emanating from the torn space behind her.

Scarlett’s eyes lit up, not even needing to turn around, she clearly called out a name,

"Samuel Chalmers!"

Saying that, she abruptly turned, nearly bumping into the embrace of Samuel Chalmers approaching.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t seem surprised at all, her almond eyes gently curved, looking at him, "You’re here." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Samuel glanced down at her, confirming she was alright, nodded towards her,

"Mm, here to pick you up."

After that, he looked towards Ivan and the man in dark attire, finally resting his gaze on the dark-clad man,

"She’s still in the competition, whatever it is, let’s talk after the match."

The man in dark attire saw him speak, glanced at Scarlett Jennings, for a moment, his tone finally carried some fluctuation,

"It’s her?"

For some reason, Scarlett Jennings was somewhat displeased with the gaze from the other party just now.

Instead of leaving immediately with Samuel Chalmers, she instead backhandedly drew out the half-rolled scroll. Before the two could react, she abruptly threw the scroll over,

"Ivan."

Ivan, caught off guard receiving the item, was still somewhat surprised.

Then distinctively heard Scarlett Jennings say to the man in dark attire,

"I think he was right earlier, based on personal portrait rights, this painting should be returned to the rightful owner."

Additionally looked towards Ivan, supplementing, "I will look for you for compensation after returning."

Though it should be returned to the rightful owner, it’s impossible to give it away for free.

She merely chose the one among the "buyers" who had a better relationship with her.

Even if Samuel Chalmers hadn’t appeared, just because the other party brought her off the competition site to this ghost market so abruptly, she had always planned to give the scroll only to Ivan.

Ivan met Scarlett Jennings’ gaze, fox-like eyes slightly arched, his gender-neutral face showing a smile that she understood,
