The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1076

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Malice in the Well

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers were truly caught off guard.

They had no power to resist when facing the Ten-tailed Sky Fox, the two of them being foreign Divine Souls.

The scene before them shifted, and the three of them found themselves in another part of the Royal Palace.

It was a secluded garden near the Imperial Harem, with a well in it.

The very well where Arwen had been harmed.

At this moment, Damian Carlson was standing by the well, holding a Phoenix Egg in one hand, deep in thought.

Detecting an unfamiliar presence, Damian turned his head to see the two people he had met at the Phoenix Residence, and also...

Althea.

Understanding full well, Damian did not immediately expose her. Instead, he pretended not to recognize her, glanced over, and then turned his gaze to Samuel and Scarlett, saying,

"The Phoenix Divine Soul has been restored and will soon break the shell. I brought them with me."

As he said this, he then looked towards the "Arwen" beside Scarlett,

"Please, find a place for them to settle."

Althea glared at him, "You’re ordering me?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Damian maintained his usual calm expression, countering, "Aren’t you a court lady now?"

With those words, Althea instantly revealed her true form, a Fox Tail flicking familiarly as it lightly slapped him on the head.

Even the two souls from the Otherworld could recognize her at a glance, yet this dragon truly mistook her for a court lady.

He deserved the hit.

And yet, he planned to leave her alone to deal with the calamity of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty!

Though Damian was flicked on the head again, his expression remained stern and solemn, but his eyes showed a hint of relief as he looked at her and asked,

"Feel better?"

Althea swayed her tail proudly, "I didn’t come to vent on you, I came to keep an eye on these two."

Souls from the Otherworld, their identities unknown, what if they wreak havoc in this world?

Damian, hearing this, refrained from exposing her and instead agreed, "Yes, I had the same thought."

The two engaged in a back-and-forth, while Scarlett and Samuel remained silent on the side.

For some reason, even though they were also a pair, they couldn’t help but feel like they were being fed some strange romantic interaction.

Luckily, this feeling was quickly cast aside as they focused on the well by Damian’s feet again.

Previously unnoticed, now upon closer inspection, they could clearly sense an anomaly within it.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why Damian appeared in this specific location.

Was it because he, too, sensed the anomaly here?

Scarlett stepped forward to sense it, quickly retracting her hand with certainty in her voice,

"Someone has cast an Array in the well, and there is a presence of malevolence within the Array."

Such a place, difficult to detect unless approached closely.

Only now did Althea speak up, her tone casual,

"Yes, this is where that girl Arwen was harmed."

Though she was indeed intrigued and helped the girl due to curiosity, it was the anomaly that drew her here initially.

If she hadn’t worried about Arwen’s body being corrupted by the malevolence within the Array, Althea wouldn’t have deliberately helped retrieve the body for her resurrection.

After all, for revenge, a spirit is enough without needing a body.

Unlike Althea’s indifference, Scarlett and Samuel couldn’t help but think about Arwen’s harm when they heard about the location.

While one might kill a friend impulsively, their intrinsic desires could also be manipulated by outside malevolent influence.

This isn’t to absolve Eira of guilt, but at least they had reason to suspect that Eira’s actions might have been influenced by malevolent manipulation.

Yet, when was this Array placed here?

Damian only learned Althea had been here before at this moment and couldn’t help asking her,
