The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1012

Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: Underworld Pass, Second Trial

After unexpectedly glimpsing into the fates of Old Yang and Freya last time, she caught sight of another future.

This future was different from the usual ones deduced through Face Reading; it was a future after reincarnation.

This had never happened before.

Scarlett Jennings felt something was amiss.

She was not acting right.

After seeing off Jeffrey Torres and the old ghost, Scarlett thought for a while and decided to share what had happened with Samuel Chalmers.

She always felt that Samuel might know something.

Samuel fell silent for a moment upon hearing this and then said,

"You’ve probably heard that the Ten-tailed Sky Fox can reach the Heavenly Dao. You’ve been practicing Mystical Techniques and can see people’s fates, and you also have the Ancestral Bloodline of the Ten-tailed Sky Fox.

As your bloodline’s demonic power awakens further, developing such abilities to glimpse the Heavenly Dao is quite normal."

Although Scarlett also sensed that these strange visions might be related to her cultivation with Emily Hearne in the Ten-tailed technique, was it really that normal?

So, do Emily Hearne and Aaron Hearne also have such abilities?

Though surprised, she did not doubt Samuel’s words.

Being a Dragon Vein for thousands of years, Scarlett had long realized that Samuel knew far more than she did.

If he said it was normal, then it probably was quite normal.

As she thought about this, she suddenly remembered something else and asked,

"Since you know so much about the Hearne Clan, you probably know something about Ivan too?"

Ivan’s identity as the Spiritual Affairs Boss was already mysterious, and now with the involvement of a Lord of the Underworld, Scarlett was also curious about what kind of person he really was.

Samuel, seeing her curiosity, responded more casually, nodding, "I know."

He began, "Ivan, he is..."

As soon as he spoke, Scarlett sensed a strange wave at the door.

Immediately after, the private room door was pushed open, revealing a Ghost Gate against a black abyss backdrop.

Ivan walked out from the Ghost Gate like that, his fox-like eyes lifting as he looked at Scarlett, "I didn’t know you were so interested in me, so curious. Why not come and ask me directly?"

Ivan dealt with buying and selling everything in the world, naturally including information.

Of course, as long as you can afford the price.

Briefly embarrassed at being caught gossiping by the person in question, Scarlett quickly composed herself.

"If you’re willing to talk, you can go ahead." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Ivan chuckled, then straightforwardly refused, "I’m not willing. I’m here to give you this."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and tossed a plaque to Scarlett,

"This is the payment for that half-painting."

Scarlett caught the plaque, feeling a chill upon touch.

The plaque was entirely black, engraved with Underworld runes, made of a material similar to the Ghost Gate. It seemed to be an item from the Underworld, but...

"I don’t think I’ve given you my asking price yet."

Ivan raised an eyebrow, "This isn’t something you can get at a standard asking price."

He said,

"This is an Underworld Pass, allowing you to open the Ghost Gate at any time."

As he spoke, looking at Scarlett, his brows raised as if implying, "I’m only giving this because of you."

Scarlett, hearing the function of the plaque, remained unmoved, stating,

"As a Spiritual Affairs employee, I can open the Ghost Gate through application."

Among so many people present, only the two of them had been circling around this Mind Domain on the eve of the competition; how was this different from examiners leaking questions in advance?

The King Fox had never mentioned being involved in the preparation for the Mystical Sect competition previously either.

Though Hannah thought she spoke softly, everyone’s senses were sharper, not to mention the Image Keeping Talisman clearly transmitted their conversation to the Spiritual Screen.

As a result, everyone, both inside and outside, heard her words.

Involuntarily, they all turned simultaneously to look at Scarlett and Hannah.

The Mystical Sect competition... could it be cheated on?

And it was Scarlett who was cheating??

Compared to Hannah’s guilty demeanor, Scarlett seemed much calmer, looking at the other contestants and directly stating,

"This is the Mind Domain of the King Fox, Emily Hearne. Hannah and I were cultivating in this domain recently."

While speaking, she directly removed the Image Keeping Talisman, and inquired,

"Before this, we didn’t know the second round would be conducted in the King Fox’s Mind Domain. For fairness in the competition, should the form of this trial be altered?"

Her words were clearly directed at the competition official responsible outside.

Violet Allen and Sawyer, the two hosts, weren’t aware, but the middle-aged man representing the competition official spoke timely,

"Regarding this matter, the King Fox had informed us in advance; however, the unfolding form of Mind Domains varies, and the second round is different from the previous cultivation form. Hence, using this Mind Domain as the competition space won’t affect this trial."

While explaining to the attendees, his words were also distinctly transmitted into the space.

Upon hearing this, Hannah was curious, "What kind of form is it then?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone inside the space felt a sudden shift in their vision.

In the next moment, everyone around them abruptly disappeared.

In the vast white domain, only oneself remained.
