The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 686

Chapter 686: Chapter 686: The Creator of the System

Archer Stanton was directly detained.

With the cooperation of the Security Bureau and the police, his crimes were quickly confirmed.

"He hid deeply over the years, many things were done behind the scenes, like the professor who made inappropriate remarks in class trying to erase a part of history. He was manipulated by Archer."

Victor Quintero said,

"Among those eight people, one was selected this year to join a research team, two others have special background connections, and there are students related to government departments. These people are scattered across various departments and were brought together because they all participated in an off-campus organization."

Scarlett Jennings looked at Victor Quintero and asked, "Archer Stanton is the founder of that organization?"

Victor Quintero smiled,

"Not only that, the organization was initially a branch of the Cult of Evil, and Archer himself was a member. However, he joined the cult to select people he could manipulate."

Some might think those swayed by the Cult of Evil are often weak-willed, but that’s not the case.

In reality, those who can be manipulated are those who are more adept at thinking and questioning the world.

Because they are used to questioning, to enjoying the perception that they are smarter and clearer than others, this opens opportunities for certain people.

He would throw a brand-new concept at you while you are thinking, making you feel as if you are peeking into the secrets of the world, causing your thoughts to subconsciously shift along with his ideas.

Victor Quintero said,

"As for the collective suicide, those eight people were not aware of it. I suspect it was a result of Cult of Evil brainwashing combined with Archer’s Harmony Technique control."

According to their investigation, Archer is not a true Onmyoji, but he certainly learned some magic that can control minds.

Listening to his conclusions, Scarlett Jennings instinctively asked,

"What about Elias Quinn?"

She didn’t think the suicide of those eight people was unrelated to Elias, but she’s yet to find out how exactly he did it.

When Elias was mentioned, Victor Quintero’s expression turned solemn.

"Regarding Elias Quinn, that’s why I specifically came looking for you today."

He said,

"We tried using the Truth Talisman on him, but it failed."

Scarlett Jennings was a bit surprised.

That was unexpected for her.

Because she couldn’t feel any spiritual power on Elias, but to cause the Truth Talisman to fail, either his spiritual power is stronger than that of the spellcaster or, like Ava Zimmerman or the system, possesses some sort of immunity.

Thinking about the system, Scarlett suddenly froze as if something flashed through her mind,

"I remember, Elias Quinn is in the computer science department."

Victor Quintero nodded, indeed the person is from the computer science department.

But what does this have to do with the Truth Talisman failing on him?

Scarlett didn’t speak, but she had another bold guess in her heart.

However, before that, she first called Daniel Wright, asking him to bring a network expert to help investigate Elias Quinn’s computer.

Although Daniel Wright was busy with Archer Stanton’s homicide case, he didn’t hesitate at all at Scarlett’s request and got back to her with results in just half a day.

"Even though Elias Quinn’s grades in professional courses are average, judging from the hidden data and programs in his computer, he should be a computer expert."

That explains why he knows about Archer and those eight students.

After understanding the whole situation, Scarlett Jennings decided to see Elias Quinn in person the following day.

However, before going to the Security Bureau, she first stopped by the police station to give Daniel Wright an amulet.

Although she no longer needed to sell talismans to earn pocket money, she still sold them wherever Daniel Wright needed them.
