The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Luca Jennings, Farewell

After a long silence, Magnolia Hearne, sitting in front of the computer, was the first to move. She reached out her hand and clicked the button to participate in the auction in the livestream room.

Everyone turned to look at her, including Luca Jennings, who was watching from the side.

Though he was aware of the dark web and had relevant contact codes, he had never participated in or even entered such an auction livestream room.

His gaze swept over, noticing Magnolia Hearne’s tense cheeks and serious, calm eyes. A flicker of doubt crossed his mind, but he suppressed his emotions, quietly watching without interrupting.

The others, upon seeing Magnolia Hearne’s actions, quickly understood after their initial surprise.

Neither this livestream room nor the auctioneer was the source they were looking for.

To reach the so-called source, one must participate in their transactions as a buyer.

Of course, Magnolia Hearne didn’t want to partake in the sin of partitioning human bodies, so she bid on a living, whole subject.

As long as she ultimately won the bid, the other party would have to ensure that the goods remained alive.

Every account that could enter this livestream room had to go through a verification process, so Magnolia Hearne wasn’t worried her bid would be ignored.

Even if she succeeded in the bid, she wouldn’t actually spend Luca Jennings’ money.

The livestream auction lasted a full hour.

In the end, Magnolia Hearne succeeded in winning a whole person through her disregard for cost in raising bids.

As soon as she succeeded in her bid, her account promptly received a private message from the other side.

After winning the item, the next step was to discuss the delivery method.

Magnolia Hearne looked at the confirmation message from the other party and calmly typed her response.

[Apart from the one just won, I also need a hundred healthy living subjects. Let someone who makes decisions talk to me.]

Having lived for hundreds of years as a Half-Demon, even when bluffing, Magnolia Hearne exuded an innate authority.

There was a long pause from the other side before finally sending another encrypted room invitation.

The invitation was directly for a virtual character video conversation.

The request Magnolia Hearne put forward was clearly a bid for a long-term partnership as a distributor, so the other party naturally handled it cautiously and asked many questions about the goods.

At first, Magnolia Hearne managed to keep her composure, but as the conversation veered into some jargon, she began to struggle.

The other side was starting to suspect, and at this moment, Luca Jennings finally stepped forward.

"Let me handle this for you."

Though he didn’t quite understand why she wanted to engage with forces like this, Luca Jennings instinctively trusted her.

He believed in her and wanted to help her.

As for the reason, he could ask later.

Upon hearing Luca Jennings speak up, both Magnolia Hearne and everyone present were visibly startled.

Luca Jennings ignored their surprise, stepping forward to take Magnolia Hearne’s place.

Businessmen might not meddle with the underworld, but they can’t be ignorant of it.

As the head of the Jennings Family, who had navigated the business world for many years, Luca Jennings quickly steadied the conversation and even gradually took control.

The other side soon switched to a different person for the conversation.

When Scarlett Jennings detected the change, she immediately sensed a thick and familiar malevolence emanating from the virtual character on the screen.

Right then, the Five-Colored, always treated like a porcelain doll by Nathan White, finally spoke,

"Scarlett!"

Evidently, Five-Colored also sensed the malevolence from Shu’e.

Without hesitation, Scarlett Jennings took a step back, deploying her Ten-tailed Domain instantly.

Just like when she first discovered Shu’e, Scarlett Jennings followed the trace of malevolence to its source, passing through the Domain. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
