The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Repairing the Earth Veins

Another week has passed.

Chase Jennings clearly noticed something was wrong with him.

Not only had his taste and preferences changed, but even when he looked in the mirror every day, he could clearly feel that his appearance was changing.

Especially today, he had arranged to meet an old friend about a previous investment.

As soon as he walked into the private room, he saw his old friend and several other friends looking at him with eyes full of unfamiliarity.

His old friend even directly asked him,

"Who are you?"

At that moment, Chase Jennings only felt his mind explode.

If what he was feeling could be an illusion.

Then the increasingly unfamiliar looks people have given him recently couldn’t be illusions, could they?

He subconsciously thought of Scarlett Jennings.

She must know what’s wrong with him.

However, he didn’t have Scarlett Jennings’ contact information, and she rarely replied to messages in the group chat.

Chase Jennings had no choice but to find Lucas Jennings again.

"Why are you looking for my sister? She recently has an internal pre-selection, and if she wins she’ll represent the academy in a competition. She told us not to disturb her if there’s nothing important. Recently, even my voice calls she hasn’t answered."

It was the first time Chase Jennings heard of this, he frowned,

"Will she come back this weekend?"

Lucas Jennings said matter-of-factly,

"Of course she won’t be back, not just this week, she won’t be back next week either."

Chase Jennings felt his heart sink lower and lower, and, as if thinking of something, suddenly asked Lucas Jennings,

"Have you heard her talk about any Mystical Sect rules before? Like what happens if someone takes your blood?"

Chase Jennings thought over and over again, and still felt the problem might have originated from when she asked if he’d been injured.

Lucas Jennings, hearing this, immediately put on a serious face,

"That could be a big problem."

Lucas Jennings said,

"My sister once said that typically, Masters use blood and hair to cast spells on people.

Those evil masters, if they get your blood or hair, they can cast a spell on you. Making you sick or changing your fate are small things. But if it’s serious..."

Lucas Jennings dragged his tone at this point, intentionally leaving it hanging.

Chase Jennings immediately looked tense, "What will happen?"

"They can turn you into another person, changing destiny and switching souls and such. Once successfully switched, it wouldn’t be as simple as retrieving a Living Soul from a doll."

Lucas Jennings watched as Chase Jennings’ face grew increasingly grim, and asked him,

"Brother Chase, what’s wrong with you? Did someone secretly take your blood?"

He said this and suddenly raised his voice, "Could it be that Ava Zimmerman again?!"

Chase Jennings instinctively retorted upon hearing this,

"Don’t talk nonsense, Ava is just an ordinary person who doesn’t understand this Evil Gate stuff."

Lucas Jennings’ face instantly fell upon hearing this,

"What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that what my sister understands is Evil Gate stuff?! If that’s what you think, then don’t come looking for my sister when you have issues!"

Lucas Jennings, hands on hips, finished scolding, then turned and stomped off in anger, slamming the door shut.

Chase Jennings felt shut out and somewhat depressed,

"When did I say anything like that... Only listening half-way, don’t twist my words with malice."

If he really thought that way, he wouldn’t have come to her first.

Since Chase Jennings couldn’t find Scarlett Jennings, he could only awkwardly walk away, thinking of other ways.

What he didn’t know was that after he left, Lucas Jennings retracted his ear from the door and went to his gaming pod to make a video call to Scarlett Jennings.

Unlike his communication with Chase Jennings, Scarlett quickly answered the video call.

Scarlett Jennings was sitting in front of a workbench, holding a cup of milk tea, looking at the video with an unusual hint of laziness.

Then she opened her chat application.

The pinned chat window showed Samuel Chalmers.

Scarlett Jennings had forgotten when she set him as pinned.

Clicking into it, aside from her recent two messages, Samuel Chalmers hadn’t responded.

This hadn’t happened before.

Samuel Chalmers, what’s happened to him?

... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

In a certain place, hundreds of miles away from the Tremor Zone, within the mountains.

Samuel Chalmers placed a hand on the Earth Veins, surrounded by Golden Light, which fragmented into tiny light dots, slowly sinking from him into the earth.

As the Golden Light seeped in, the crust of the mountains seemed to be soothed, gradually returning to tranquility.

Simon stood beside him, watching the visible waning of gold around him, and couldn’t help but speak,

"It’s about enough, you’re not in your true form now, forcibly repairing the Earth Veins depletes you too much. If those old guys saw you like this, they’d seize the chance to cause trouble."

Actually, he wanted to advise him to return to his true form; this human body was too limiting, yet he didn’t know what Samuel Chalmers was thinking.

Why insist on maintaining the identity.

Seeing Samuel taking no heed of his words, Simon couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"If really not, you could also take it slow; the Tremor Zone is mostly stable now, a little repair each day would suffice."

Simon mumbled, thinking he wouldn’t respond to him anyway.

Unexpectedly, Samuel Chalmers this time replied,

"No."

He wanted to resolve the matter quickly.

Apart from wanting the people in the Tremor Zone to stabilize soon, it was also because... her birthday was approaching.

He wanted to hurry back as soon as possible.
