Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Something Even Lionel Strickland Hasn’t Swiped

Marketplace.

Dashiell and Lionel Strickland replaced the original positions of Scarlett Jennings and Susan, staring at each other.

Scarlett and the others hadn’t returned yet. They didn’t know when she and Susan would come back, so they could only stay in place.

Just as Dashiell contemplated whether to report the situation to the Security Bureau and have them send people over. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Suddenly, the presence belonging to Scarlett Jennings and Susan appeared in another location.

Immediately following, a message from Scarlett Jennings arrived for him and Lionel Strickland.

The message said she had returned and asked the two to head home first.

Lionel Strickland, knowing that everyone was safe, naturally listened to whatever Scarlett Jennings said, but Dashiell was not so obedient.

He had to see her with his own eyes to be at ease.

So he dragged Lionel Strickland directly back to Demon Street.

Returning to the small courtyard in Demon Street, Dashiell instinctively went to push the door open. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he paused and chose to knock instead.

Fortunately, someone inside heard the commotion and immediately responded,

"Come in."

Only then did Dashiell swagger in with Lionel Strickland, and upon seeing Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers standing in the courtyard, he was about to ask Scarlett why she suddenly took the child into the Domain.

Unexpectedly, under the ginkgo tree before them, the child was wrapped in vines like a cocoon, with only his head exposed, placed entirely beneath the ginkgo tree with an added layer of a Golden Light Barrier around it.

Dashiell was almost dumbfounded,

"Scarlett... did he, did he do something bad we don’t know about?"

After all, given Scarlett’s temperament, she’s not the type to "discipline" a child this way.

However, speaking of which, if the child did something wrong, taking him into the Domain for education would be enough, but then wrapping him up like this afterward seems a bit too much, doesn’t it?

Dashiell hesitated about whether to plead for the child.

Then Scarlett Jennings briefly explained what had just happened,

"Susan is Shu’e’s avatar."

With just a few words, the concise explanation was sufficient for Dashiell to instantly grasp the situation, immediately becoming serious, and he changed his plea to,

"These vines don’t look very sturdy, maybe add some more Prohibition on him?"

If that doesn’t work, considering the large prisons of the Security Bureau and the Mystic Regulation Office could be an option.

Ever since it was known that Shu’e was the mastermind behind the Ghost Fog’s escape, many in the Mystical Sect viewed this name as a symbol of danger.

Even the Security Bureau had issued an announcement, not calling for the Mystical Sect or the Demon Clan to search for Shu’e’s whereabouts and capture him, but instead issuing a warning.

The warning was that no Mystical Sect or Demon Clan members should ever confront Shu’e alone without full confidence.

If someone lacking skills faced Shu’e alone, they would most likely meet their doom.

Moreover, there was a risk of being consumed by Shu’e’s malice, becoming a source of "nourishment" for him.

As Scarlett and Samuel’s close ally, Dashiell was well aware of what Shu’e’s existence implied.

His gaze at Susan was complex and wary.

It was truly difficult to fathom how a seemingly pure and harmless child could be an avatar of Shu’e...

After all, he had just taken action against a domestic abuser upon discovering the malice.
