The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Got into Real Metaphysics

Director Clark led his team into the mansion and saw that the guests and photographers, who had been dispersed in search of people, were now gathered on the second floor of the house.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed ahead, expressions of evident shock on their faces.

Pushing through the crowd to look inside, he saw Scarlett Jennings standing exactly where she had been when the screen went blank. Lying on the floor opposite her was Dashiell Xalvadora, his pale face filled with terror as he clutched his throat, gasping for air.

"How, how is he?"

What Director Clark wanted to ask was, is he still alive?

"He’s fine now," Evander Simpson was the first to speak, his tone carrying a hint of complexity as he looked at Scarlett Jennings.

Before they arrived, or rather, the moment Scarlett Jennings broke through the Mirror Realm and pulled him out, she already captured those five female ghosts along with the Ferocious Fiend hiding in the mansion.

Scarlett Jennings never intended for Dashiell Xalvadora to die at the hands of the five female ghosts.

Although it’s often said that grievances have their originators and debts have their owners.

In fact, even avenging oneself could lead to carrying karmic debts.

Those five girls suffered a terrible fate, but they hadn’t taken any lives themselves. As long as they were guided into reincarnation, they could smoothly be reborn.

However, if they killed Dashiell Xalvadora now, they would be stained with blood debts, facing punishment, and even if they reincarnated smoothly, it would affect their fortune in the next life.

It’s not worth it.

Better to hand him over to legal justice.

Even if not sentenced to death, being possessed by the Ferocious Fiend and entangled with karmic debts would ensure he had a miserable life, even in prison.

"What... what exactly happened here?"

Director Clark looked at Scarlett Jennings, still in disbelief. "Dashiell Xalvadora, he, he really is..."

A murderer?

Scarlett Jennings knew what he was implying, nodded at him, and added, "We’d better call the police now."

The staff stood dumbfounded, unable to believe that one of the guests invited by the production team was a hidden murderer.

A serial killer, no less!

This was too terrifying!

This person used to be an idol, who would have thought someone with that kind of face would commit crimes.

Oh, wait, Master Jennings mentioned, his face seemed to be surgically modified.

Everyone silently changed how they addressed Scarlett Jennings in their hearts, feeling it was warranted.

Even without seeing her in action firsthand.

But this particular Scarlet, was clearly extraordinary.

In comparison, Quincy Zimmerman’s reaction was relatively calm. Seeing a staff member taking out a phone to call the police, Quincy Zimmerman spoke up,

"There’s no need, the police have already been in contact with me, and a team is on the way."

He spoke while looking at Scarlett Jennings with admiration and helplessness.

Admiration for her genuine talent, but helplessness because the show’s first day of broadcast had caused such a major incident, even capturing a serial killer.

This time, even with Sebastian Carew involved, the "Inspiration" program might be entirely doomed.

Everyone present had various thoughts, except for the instigator, Scarlett Jennings, who maintained a natural demeanor.

Before long, officers from the special task force arrived, and the first thing they did was take the still slightly shell-shocked Dashiell Xalvadora away.

As for Scarlett Jennings, who revealed everything, the police had to take her with them to give a statement.

The crowd, hearing this, turned en masse to look at Evander Simpson with evident astonishment in their eyes,

"You knew there was a body in this mansion too?!"

Director Clark was unsure whether to go insane or be excited at this point.

After all, part of his reason for taking this variety show was to explore the existence of spirituality, so he sought settings known for the supernatural.

Who could have guessed that in the first episode, he would stumble upon the real thing?

Evander Simpson’s expression was serious, "I mentioned earlier, this house’s layout is similar to a Shadow House. Since it’s a Shadow House, there should be a grave owner."

Just that he hadn’t discovered where the grave owner might be buried.

Evander Simpson looked at Scarlett Jennings again, his gaze held more respect.

Though he had sensed they were kindred spirits before, he hadn’t expected her to have such strong abilities.

Stronger than him.

Evander Simpson felt that taking this program to gain experience was the right choice.

On the other side, Daniel Wright, hearing both Scarlett Jennings and another guest speak confidently about a body in the mansion, didn’t take it lightly. He made a call back to have another team come over, then asked Scarlett Jennings,

"Do you know approximately where the body is?"

Scarlett Jennings pursed her lips, led the group downstairs, then pointed to a spot beside the stairs, roughly at the mansion’s center,

"It should be here."

Daniel Wright assumed she’d refer to the yard or somewhere around the mansion, but it was underground, right in the mansion’s center?

He looked down at the beautifully tiled marble floor.

This floor... requires a power drill to break it open, doesn’t it?
