The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order

No matter if it was the first life or the subsequent eight, even in her most difficult life, someone would always appear to guide her.

Despite the unhappy endings, she was indeed improving little by little.

Furthermore...

Following this trajectory, Solid City’s king did not reincarnate after his death but cultivated himself into a Ghost King.

Even without access to the Life Book, with his capabilities as a Ghost King, how could he have failed to find Beatrice Fowler’s soul for eight lives?

"Are you sure that in the eight lives after, you never encountered Beatrice Fowler’s reincarnation?"

Scarlett Jennings suddenly asked the Ghost King beside her.

Upon learning that his wife, tainted by his own killings, would only enter reincarnation after a century, the Ghost King, regardless of his stubbornness, couldn’t claim that his wife was always waiting for him.

The Ghost King, immersed in regret, was suddenly taken aback by Scarlett Jennings’s question, and his expression turned sullen.

"If I had found her before, I wouldn’t have let her suffer through so many lives!"

He would have long welcomed her back to be his Queen of Ghosts!

Thinking this, he turned to Sebastian Carew again, a hint of distress in his eyes.

Sebastian Carew: ...

There’s no need.

Scarlett Jennings knew the Ghost King wasn’t lying, so the only reason he never found Beatrice Fowler’s soul was—

Someone was helping Beatrice Fowler evade the Ghost King’s search.

And this person was most likely someone from the Mystical Sect.

Such a thing wasn’t entirely impossible.

As long the soul was marked with a concealing imprint and repaired in each life, even a Ghost King couldn’t detect it.

To confirm, all one had to do was examine Sebastian Carew’s soul.

However, Scarlett Jennings merely thought about it; she wasn’t going to perform a Soul Search on Sebastian Carew based on a trivial guess.

Though curious about who in the Mystical Sect it was, she wasn’t particularly eager to find out.

Gathering her thoughts, Scarlett Jennings turned back to the Ghost King, saw him still staring at Sebastian Carew, and simply said,

"She died because of you in her first life, and later lives ended poorly due to your involvement.

After much effort, she finally achieved the life she has now. If you persist in entangling her, you’re maliciously destroying everything she’s worked for over a thousand years..."

Scarlett Jennings paused deliberately, staring at the Ghost King, and asked in a quiet voice,

"Do you think she might hate you enough to prefer perishing together with you?"

Perhaps startled by Scarlett Jennings’s description, the Ghost King’s pupils suddenly trembled. Staring at Sebastian Carew’s cold gaze, the Ghost King seemed to see, through him, the eyes that harbored hatred for him a thousand years ago.

The surrounding Ghost Energy scattered chaotically.

This was a sign of his wavering and hesitation.

Scarlett Jennings sighed and gave him one last piece of advice,

"...Let her go."

Letting her go meant releasing his own thousand-year obsession as well.

The Ghost King seemed to be abruptly struck by these four words, and his originally splendid and imposing face visibly aged, turning into that of an old man near sixty.

Although the demeanor of a ruler could still be seen, it couldn’t change the fact of aging.

This appearance was likely how he truly looked when he was with Beatrice Fowler back then.

Evidently, he was aware of the age gap with his wife, which is why he maintained his appearance at its prime after becoming a Ghost King.

As if in this way, he could finally be worthy of his beloved young girl a thousand years later.

Taking one last deep look at Sebastian Carew, seeing him still expressionless, the Ghost King ultimately turned away.

Once again enveloped by Ghost Energy, the next moment, he and the little ghosts vanished in an instant.

Scarlett Jennings furrowed her brows as she looked at the empty lawn, now occupied by only one person and two souls.

He...

Didn’t pay!

Her Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order!

Did this Ghost King leave so quickly to avoid payment?
