The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Spontaneous Human Combustion, Perfectly Normal

Scarlett Jennings abruptly looked at Susan, with a momentary hint of surprise and subtle inquiry in her eyes.

Just in that instant of distraction, the Talisman Light she unleashed landed on the man along with Susan’s Phoenix Fire.

When the man discovered his hand and face suddenly engulfed in flames, he immediately let out a wail of agony, but it was just a wail.

Because as he screamed and tried to slap away the flames burning his face and right hand, he found his body stiffened in place as if out of control.

The girl originally held by him had already been scared senseless. Seeing him just howling and not moving, she hurriedly struggled to escape from his side.

Seeing her legs weakened by fear, a brave lady, though frightened, stepped forward and grabbed the girl, pulling her into the circle of onlookers.

Then everyone witnessed an even more terrifying scene.

At the moment the girl escaped the man’s grip, the flames, which had originally only accurately enveloped the man’s head and hand, suddenly spread throughout his body.

In an instant, the man became a figure burning in flames.

Oddly enough, he screamed but still didn’t move.

Originally planning to roll up their sleeves to act, Dashiell and Lionel Strickland paused upon seeing this, realizing it was Scarlett and the kid who took action, they couldn’t help but remind, 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Scarlett, won’t this be noticed as odd?"

These flames don’t seem normal.

Scarlett Jennings heard his words and thought he had a point.

Normally a person on fire wouldn’t stay motionless, so she immediately waved her hand, releasing the Immobilization Technique carried by the Talisman Light, and the man’s body finally seemed to break free from the restraints and quickly came to life.

He began to roll on the ground, screaming, trying to extinguish the flames on him, but the fire did not diminish at all.

Although bystanders had just witnessed this man assaulting his girlfriend in the street and attempting murder, they couldn’t bear to see a living person burned to death in front of them, so nearby merchants brought fire extinguishers and sprayed him from several directions.

Although ordinary fire extinguishers shouldn’t be able to extinguish Phoenix Fire, continuing to burn like this would certainly cause panic.

Scarlett Jennings glanced at Susan, pressing her hand on his shoulder,

"Take it back for now."

Susan was puzzled, why take it back when the malevolent intent hadn’t been burnt away?

But since his sister said so, he obediently complied.

As the dry powder enveloped the man’s body, the flames originally entwining him were taken back. To the surrounding bystanders, it appeared as if the fire extinguishers had put out the fire on him.

Judging by the previous situation, it seemed certain that the man would suffer extensive burns, it was just a matter of the extent of them.

What surprised the onlookers was that aside from obvious redness, the man’s body showed no signs of burns, and even his clothes were only slightly singed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, yet the man continued to writhe in pain and howl on the ground.

One onlooker couldn’t bear it and shouted to him,

"Stop howling, the fire on you has long been extinguished, your skin is just a bit red, nothing serious."

But the man kept wailing incessantly.

He certainly knew the fire on him had been extinguished.

But... even though the fire was out, why did he feel as though he was still painfully burning?

That kind of pain wasn’t just from the skin and body, it felt more like... from the soul.

It seemed his soul was still tormented by the fire.

The bystanders thought he was pretending, but Dashiell and Lionel Strickland knew it wasn’t that simple, instinctively looking at Scarlett Jennings and Susan.

Scarlett Jennings then explained,

"Phoenix Fire doesn’t burn the body, it burns the soul."

The Fire Thunder she had summoned with Phoenix Power could invoke the Heavenly Dao to descend Heavenly Thunder, naturally, Phoenix Fire wasn’t an ordinary flame.

Dashiell was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then understood and nodded,
