The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Shellback, Here I Come!

In the small van with a few young creatures taken away, there were three demons who had just arrived in Capital Metropolitan from other places.

According to the Mystic Regulation Office’s rules, all demons entering the city’s territory must register their Demon Records and undergo basic modern education and science popularization.

Of course, there are also demon beasts like Lionel Strickland who integrate into human society through their own exploration, and the Mystic Regulation Office generally does not enforce strict management.

These three demons claimed to have just come out of the mountains.

They entered the Academy of Mystique for basic systematic learning according to the Mystic Regulation Office’s process.

But they were different from the other demons, they were targeting the other demons in the Academy.

Just like there are good and Evil Ghosts, demons can be good or bad. Evil Demons often like to devour other Demon Souls to enhance their own demonic power.

Initially, their target was the demons in the same class as them in the Academy of Mystique.

Because demons just out of the mountains have no complex networks, even if one or two go missing, the Mystic Regulation Office wouldn’t pay much attention.

But Imp Sprites are different.

There’s a saying: if you hit the young ones, the older ones will come out. This especially applies to Imp Sprites.

Any Imp Sprite entering the Academy of Mystique is a treasure among various Demon Clans, and losing even one would surely lead to an investigation.

So, although Imp Sprites are easier to handle than adult demons, they didn’t initially dare to target them.

However, these few Imp Sprites ended up coming right to them on their own.

It felt like not abducting them would be letting themselves down.

And the result proved that the process of abducting the Imp Sprites was indeed very smooth.

At this moment, looking at the few shivering Imp Sprites tied together with Demon Bags, the leader of the Evil Demons couldn’t help but smile.

But just as his smile reached the corner of his mouth, he heard the person next to him say,

"Big brother, it seems there’s a demon catching up to us!"

The leader of the Evil Demons’ face slightly changed. How could it be so fast?

They calculated that the method for breaking the small iron gate wouldn’t trigger the Academy’s Barrier, and the two classes in the West District both had major lectures today, so no demon would pay attention to the iron gate here. Why did a demon catch up so quickly?

Upon closer inspection behind them, all three Evil Demons relaxed.

"It’s just two juvenile demons, they should be students from the Academy, nothing to fear."

Juvenile demons have notably less combat power compared to adult demons, not to mention with their demonic power enhanced by absorbing other Demon Souls, even regular adult demons are no match for the three of them.

Thinking this, the next second, the car was forcibly stopped as if it was yanked by a force.

Then came a bang, as if something landed on the roof.

The Imp Sprites from behind had caught up!

The leader of the Evil Demons’ face turned fierce, without any hesitation, he transformed his hand into a claw, piercing through the car roof towards the person above.

Scarlett Jennings seemed to sense something, her two Fox Tails twitched again, she leaped high, and threw out two Wind Talismans from her hand.

The Wind Talismans, infused with demonic power, transformed into two Wind Blades in mid-air, slicing towards the Demon Claw protruding from the car roof.

The Wind Blades, as sharp as knives, were swift yet only managed to cut through half the flesh of the Demon Claw.

Scarlett Jennings subtly regretted it.

If it had been a normal Demon Ghost, at least the entire claw would have been chopped off.

Even so, the pain from losing a third of the Demon Claw still made the leader of the Evil Demons cry out in pain, followed by overwhelming anger.

"You’re not an Imp Sprite! You’re a human Master!"

A mere human Master dares to meddle in their affairs; the leader of the Evil Demons is enraged, he wants her dead!

He rushed out through the car roof, then charged aggressively toward Scarlett Jennings.

And just as he acted, two demons flew out of the hole on the roof.

One of them had an Imp Sprite tucked under each arm, immediately sprinting towards a certain direction upon landing.

The other demon also carried two Imp Sprites, but it spread its wings and quickly flew into the air without bothering about Scarlett Jennings and the leader of the Evil Demons.
