The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: The Dao Heart She Upholds

"I refuse to pass the first competition using the official choices because the path I follow does not allow me to seize opportunities by robbing others."

Scarlett Jennings’ voice was not loud, and her tone showed no sign of anger. Yet, this sentence caused a moment of silence among the crowd in the venue.

Before the elder could speak, the middle-aged official representative had already responded, his tone still gentle,

"This is just a competition. The items needed to be redeemed are unrelated to personal opportunities and should not be confused."

Scarlett looked at him and simply said,

"In my eyes, that is precisely their personal opportunity. Being able to help oneself not get eliminated in the first round is an opportunity in itself."

Scarlett’s words instantly gained approval from many participants present.

Those selected as competition representatives were all outstanding individuals from various schools and sects.

But among them were some like Clayton Xander, who only received the chance to represent the Xander Family in the competition because Gregory Xander declined.

If he were eliminated in the first round, it would surely disappoint the Xander Family elders and perhaps lead to no future resources being directed his way.

So how could this not be considered one of the opportunities that could determine his future direction?

The elder, hearing this, maintained a serious expression,

"Even if, as you say, this is their personal opportunity, whether they can grasp it should depend on their own skills."

Scarlett then said,

"You’re right, but I still cannot agree with the official method of gaining an opportunity by robbing others."

She said,

"If today we can rob others’ opportunities for the sake of a competition, tomorrow we might fight our own peers for a bigger opportunity and plunder benefits from ordinary people."

She said,

"As members of the Mystical Sect, if we can’t steady our hearts and allow ourselves to be led by external things, we will also be led astray when we encounter Evil Masters in the future.

We may even end up becoming members of the Evil Masters."

Just like Elysia Xander in the past.

What Scarlett said might have been the worst-case scenario, but... not without reason.

The elder who initially raised doubts still kept a stern face, but his gaze toward Scarlett became more inquisitive and softened.

The various departments of the Security Bureau have different responsibilities, and although the elder knew that the bureau had made an exception by hiring a new student from the academy,

he had heard the name Scarlett Jennings from time to time.

But with so many geniuses in the Mystical Sect, he never quite understood why people around him placed special importance on Scarlett.

Today, after hearing her words, he faintly understood the reason.

The rare quality is not only her exceptional talent but her clarity of mind and steadfastness of heart at such a young age.

Though the elder is a stickler for rules and regulations, he is not someone who cannot listen to reason.

Scarlett’s words today not only persuaded him but also prompted self-reflection among many present from the Mystical Sect.

Especially those who planned to follow the rules and snatch other people’s items to reclaim their own after learning the rules at the Ghost Market.

Some of them possibly had not thought much or felt, as others did, that it was simply a form of the competition and didn’t mind.

But in reality, despite the emphasis on winning or losing in the grand competition of the Mystical Sect, it should not only be about victory.

The sect members present, whether old or young, seemed to have had an epiphany at this moment.

Below the stage, Donovan Jennings sat, acutely aware of the change in those around him, and his eyes filled with pride as he looked at Scarlett, his smile deepening.

Beside him, a senior brother from the academy, who was involved in organizing the competition, whispered,

"Young friend Jennings is truly a perceptive person, but according to her statement, does that mean the academy’s official rules were wrong from the start?"

Many around had similar doubts.
