The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1110

Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: Did Not Attain the Ten-tailed

Luke Hearne’s pupils contracted as he watched his own Soul Bell being crushed. His Demon Body, weakened by the Soul Tree’s absorption of his demonic power, nearly collapsed along with the shattered Soul Bell.

At the moment when his Demon Soul was about to crumble, a strand of black mist suddenly emerged from within his Demon Soul.

The black mist was like a black thread, swiftly mending his nearly dissipated Demon Soul.

Simultaneously, the Soul Bell that had been crushed rapidly reassembled and repaired in midair.

The originally bronze Soul Bell now faintly emitted a black hue.

The black Soul Bell flew back to Luke Hearne, quickly concealing the black mist and returning to its original color.

Unnoticed by anyone, the Soul Bell corresponding to Luke Hearne on the Soul Tree faintly darkened. The black color, invisible to the naked eye, gradually spread towards the branches of the Soul Tree...

Sea City, Chalmers Residence.

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers were staring intently at the young man before them.

The youth was fifteen this year and clearly taller than he was three years ago. Upon seeing Scarlett Jennings, his attitude remained as respectful and polite as always.

"Hello, it’s been a while."

The young man was Jonah Chalmers, the heir chosen by Samuel Chalmers from a side branch.

When Samuel Chalmers "disappeared," the Chalmers Family quickly weathered the tumultuous period thanks to Samuel’s prior arrangements and the Jennings Family’s intervention.

Though Jonah Chalmers hadn’t officially taken over the Chalmers Family, he had already started learning and engaging with the group’s affairs with the aid of several professional managers.

Furthermore, in Samuel Chalmers’s absence, Jonah was the other young master of this residence.

Scarlett Jennings hadn’t forgotten this heir. Before choosing him, Samuel had specifically let her meet him.

But upon meeting again today, Scarlett Jennings found herself filled with unusual thoughts about the youth.

For no other reason than the young man before her bore a striking resemblance to Beckett Chalmers, whose body Samuel once borrowed.

She couldn’t help but glance at Samuel Chalmers; this didn’t seem like a coincidence.

Samuel nodded, confirming her thoughts.

When he initially chose him, he hadn’t recognized Beckett, but after his Divine Soul returned from the past, Samuel realized the connection between Jonah and Beckett.

The interaction of their gazes was lost on Jonah.

Seeing their silence, the youth pondered for a second before selecting a topic that could quickly establish a connection,

"I heard you’re preparing to host a wedding. If possible, let me assist in the wedding arrangements. As the acting Family Head of the Chalmers Family, it’s also my responsibility."

Though young, his words carried an air of premature maturity.

This topic came too abruptly, catching Scarlett Jennings off guard.

She instinctively looked at Samuel Chalmers.

Hosting a wedding... they indeed mentioned it while at Heavenly Origin, but they had just returned yesterday. Had he already said it?

Samuel Chalmers: ...

He indeed mentioned it, but only briefly to the Chalmers Family’s steward as a heads-up to prepare.

Who would have thought the steward would relay it directly to Jonah?

"This matter isn’t urgent."

Scarlett Jennings said.

Though she had agreed with Samuel Chalmers about the wedding, entrusting a child with the preparations felt a bit odd.

Jonah seemed to understand Scarlett Jennings’s concerns, only saying,

"The marriage between the Jennings Family and the Chalmers Family is a big event; preparing a year in advance isn’t hasty.

Why indeed.

Before returning to Sea City, Scarlett Jennings had deliberately picked up Shellback, Liora Gold, and Araminta Gold, even bringing Susan along; but she hadn’t brought him!

He was always thinking about them!

"I didn’t know when you were returning; I was worried every day, unable to do anything! And you come back without telling me!"

The ship of friendship has capsized!

Scarlett Jennings listened to his indignant accusation without debating, just silently taking out her phone and turning it on.

"When we returned yesterday, we saw you were still recording the live stream for ’Inspiration,’ and didn’t want to disturb you."

On the phone screen, it vividly showed Dashiell gripping a Monkey Demon, beating it up, and then having the demon lead a group of underlings to serve him tea and snacks.

Just from this clip, one couldn’t discern any of the anxiety he claimed to have.

Dashiell’s expression briefly showed some guilt upon being exposed, but he quickly said,

"That was all staged! After all, I get paid; I have professional integrity..."

Not wanting her to delve further, Dashiell quickly changed the subject, pretending nothing had happened, asking them,

"So, how was the trip? Did Susan borrow the Divine Soul? I heard Scarlett developed a ten-tail. Is that true? Why do I feel your Divine Soul seems weaker than before?"

Samuel Chalmers was about to explain that Scarlett Jennings’s Divine Soul was damaged during the battle with the Three Ferocious Beasts and hadn’t fully healed, when Scarlett unexpectedly spoke up,

"I didn’t develop ten tails."

Her words left Samuel Chalmers momentarily stunned, prompting him to turn his head abruptly to look at her.

Scarlett Jennings met his gaze, responding softly,

"Back at Heavenly Origin, the Divine Soul did indeed once gain insight into the power of the ten tails, but now that we’re back... I can’t sense it anymore."
