The disturbance caused by the Fire Thunder striking the Jennings Family was immense.
A sudden explosion sounded, followed by the loud shattering of glass.
Everyone inside the Jennings Family’s villa was shocked.
Lucas Jennings, originally changing clothes in his room, froze upon hearing the great commotion, and as soon as he understood the direction it came from, his face changed instantly.
Ignoring the fact that his shirt wasn’t tucked, he rushed out of the room with the speed of the wind.
As he passed the stairs, he collided with Luca Jennings who was hurrying upstairs. Both wore solemn expressions and said nothing more, then swiftly headed to the room at the far end of the third-floor corridor.
That was Scarlett’s room.
The loud noise had originated from there.
Rushing to the door, they quickly knocked, finding no response inside, and without further ado, were about to break in when the door suddenly opened from inside.
Scarlett Jennings, perfectly dressed, holding Little Pretty in her arms, stood there with a rare look of guilt on her face.
"Scarlett, just now..."
Lucas Jennings stopped short upon seeing the state of Scarlett’s room.
One corner of Scarlett’s room now lay in ruins.
There was a noticeable charred patch by the balcony, along with shattered glass from the balcony door strewn everywhere.
"What is this..."
"I’ve been developing a new Thunder Summoning Talisman and accidentally caused some trouble."
Scarlett Jennings seemed even more guilty as she said this.
The rest of the Jennings Family finally arrived upstairs from below, catching her explanation, leaving them speechless, yet no one doubted her words.
After all, accidental explosions were something Scarlett had done even when she first returned.
But this time, their instinctive concern was.
"Is everyone okay?"
The room could be blown up, but the most important thing is that no one got hurt.
Seeing the caring eyes of everyone, Scarlett nodded and was about to say something when Lucas Jennings quickly interjected,
"My sister’s definitely fine; she can set up barriers—look, Little Pretty didn’t lose a single hair!"
Lucas Jennings spoke with a confidence as if he was the one who narrowly avoided the thunder.
Flora Xalvadora couldn’t help but pat her son, then clicked her tongue at Scarlett,
"Scarlett, why are the experiments in your Mystical Sect so dangerous?"
Look at this room, blown apart.
Fortunately, no one’s hurt.
But it seems there’s no way to live here for now.
We’ll have to arrange for another room.
Upon hearing about arranging a new room, Lucas Jennings’s eyes darted, suddenly suggesting,
"My sister has a new house!"
He gave it to her!
Turning his head, he saw Adam and Chase watching him intently, and Lucas silently corrected himself.
Okay, they all gifted it together.
After handing over the house card to Scarlett at the birthday party, she hadn’t had the chance to visit yet.
"Sure, we need to renovate here anyway. Why don’t you move there for a couple of days, sis?"
This is a good opportunity to stay there for a while.
Everything there, including the decor, was personally selected by him.
The bedding and linens have all been freshly cleaned, ready to be occupied.
Everyone knew about the brothers pooling money to give Scarlett a house, and seeing Lucas looking eager, Donovan Jennings simply said,
"You should stay here at home, but you can definitely check out that house. If you don’t like their taste, you can take the chance to change it."
Lucas and the others were immediately dissatisfied at having their aesthetics questioned.
But she didn’t anticipate that during the awakening, her energy seemed to be continuously drawn away by the jade.
If it weren’t for the North Spirit Stone replenishing, Scarlett estimated she would have collapsed then.
Just as she felt that her Spiritual Power was about to be exhausted by the small object, she suddenly felt a refreshing breeze arise around her.
Next, a familiar, timeless echo seemingly from the ancient void reached her ears.
Before she could decipher the source of the sound, a sudden explosion resounded from the sky, and then a bolt of Fire Thunder charged directly at her...
The Fire Thunder unexpectedly struck her, and Scarlett instinctively wanted to raise a barrier, but her Spiritual Power was insufficient.
Just when she thought she might have to endure it head-on.
In the next instant, the jade in her hand emitted spiritual light, forming a barrier around her.
That barrier blocked the Fire Thunder.
Although the balcony of her room suffered damage, Scarlett remained unharmed.
And just as she recovered from the sudden descent of Fire Thunder and the protection from the Benedict Jade, and attempted to check the situation inside the room, a flash of golden light appeared before her eyes.
The next second, Samuel Chalmers suddenly appeared in front of her.
His dark eyes were rarely filled with concern, anxiously holding her shoulders, trying to see if she was hurt.
Scarlett Jennings was dumbfounded at Samuel Chalmers suddenly appearing.
Then came the knocking from Lucas and the others.
Worried that Samuel’s sudden appearance would be hard to explain, Scarlett had him hide in the bathroom.
Now, gazing at the tall figure emerging from the bathroom, looking into Samuel Chalmers’ slightly restrained dark eyes, her expression showed rare emotion.
If she was merely suspicious before.
Now, seeing him appear before her instantaneously, she could be sure and certain—
This man has been deceiving her all along!
"Can you explain now why you suddenly appeared here?"
