The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1023

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Sensing Malice

In the mountains of the distant outskirts of Capital Metropolitan.

At this moment, Scarlett Jennings, who was on the minds of many, stood alone above a body of water.

Spiritual Power rose, and a massive Four Symbols Array emerged from the four corners of the mountains.

The array connected four domains, each presenting a distinct illusion.

These were, respectively, Serpent Walking Thunder, Phoenix Fire, Dragon Water, and... Wind Fox.

They simultaneously represented the four symbols: metal, wood, water, and fire.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the figures within each illusion were beings Scarlett Jennings had borrowed demonic power from.

Except for the last figure of the Nine-tailed Fox.

That was formed based on Scarlett Jennings’ true form.

In the Hearne Clan, the difficulty of cultivating tails increases with each one, and after successfully cultivating seven tails, it took Scarlett Jennings another two years to cultivate the remaining two tails.

Then, the demonic power seemed to hit a bottleneck, unable to reach the key to the Ten-tailed state.

Just like Emily Hearne and Aaron Hearne now.

And there’s less than a year left until the three-year promise.

Scarlett Jennings narrowed her eyes, solidifying the Four Symbols Domain, which was her "homework" for the day.

Suddenly, she felt a familiar aura enter the barrier in the mountains. Scarlett Jennings swiftly put away the array, and as she turned, Samuel Chalmers’ figure had already appeared not far away.

He was the same as he had been two years ago, except that Cathay had been hit by several natural disasters over the past two years: floods, high temperatures, droughts, snowstorms, and hail.

Samuel Chalmers had expended a significant amount of Golden Light for these crises, making the Golden Light around him slightly dimmer compared to two years ago.

It wasn’t noticeable without careful examination.

Samuel Chalmers didn’t want her to focus too much on his Golden Light, so he simply said,

"Today, the third season of ’Inspiration’ is premiering, and you promised Dashiell to support him."

Upon hearing this, Scarlett Jennings realized she had lost track of time and immediately said,

"Wait for me, I’ll accompany you down the mountain."

Saying so, she turned her head towards the water and called, "Shellback, let’s go!"

Not long after she finished speaking, a fierce and imposing Crocodile Tortoise slowly emerged from the water. Compared to the tiny creature it was two years ago, its size had clearly grown, but it was only about the size of two palms.

After Shellback popped its head out of the water, it quickly flew to the shore enveloped in Black Mist, picking up Scarlett Jennings’ luggage as it left. It was evident this task had been done countless times.

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers descended the mountain, realizing that ’Inspiration’ had been airing for a while, and Dashiell had already advertised it.

After some thought, Scarlett Jennings decided to use Dashiell’s name and gift an entire set of rewards in the live stream.

Scarlett Jennings’ account was verified, and with this extravagant set of rewards, she was immediately caught by the online audience in the live stream, who clamored for her to join and appear.

Scarlett Jennings certainly wasn’t going to join or appear, given that the guest of honor for the third season of ’Inspiration’ was not her; her lavish gift set was eye-catching enough.

After completing the rewards, the two and a turtle arrived at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Donovan Jennings had already prepared a vehicle waiting there, and to their surprise, there was another person in the car.

"What are you doing here?" Scarlett Jennings asked Ashton Todd in the car.

Ashton Todd was found wearing a set of high-end custom Taoist Robe, looking even more stylish than he had two years ago.

"Your brother invited me to be a guest lecturer at the conference three days later."

This conference was targeting teenagers among ordinary people who had yet to discover their Spiritual Power.

Scarlett Jennings and Ashton Todd were strictly speaking both from nontraditional backgrounds, especially Ashton Todd, who practically learned on his own with no real mentor. As representatives, they had the most authority to speak.

Especially Scarlett Jennings, who had not only been cultivating demonic power for the past two years but also studying at Taoism Academy, graduating early this year. If she hadn’t been so busy cultivating and neglecting her duties at the Security Bureau, Mystic Regulation Office, and even Spiritual Affairs, with her abilities, she could have been leading a team by now.

Ashton Todd spoke about the upcoming conference, laughing, saying, "Brother Donovan really recognized my talent, and he’s even paying me for the appearance."

Then he continued, "Look, he’s even had new clothes customized for me. Do you have any? Do we need to take promotional photos or something later?"
