Seeing Callum Yuan and Hannah Hearne shaking their heads, Scarlett Jennings wasn’t surprised.
She had always been able to see different colors on some people.
For example, the Golden Light on Samuel Chalmers,
and the color of all Demon Energy.
Before, when she saw the black Demon Energy before it dissipated, Scarlett Jennings instinctively thought it was something everyone could see, like Black Mist.
Samuel Chalmers continued to look at Scarlett Jennings.
In his memory, Scarlett Jennings’s eyes could indeed see things ordinary people couldn’t.
Unlike those born with Harmony Eyes, what her eyes saw was a deeper presence.
In the past, Samuel Chalmers didn’t pay much attention even if he knew.
But now, it seems that the secrets Scarlett Jennings holds may not be just as he once thought.
As if sensing his gaze, Scarlett Jennings finally turned to look at him.
As their eyes met, the Golden Light shimmered, but Samuel Chalmers calmly retracted his gaze.
"I’ll have someone handle the following matters, your task ends here, you can go back."
Concerning the conspiracy behind the corruption, neither he nor the Mystic Regulation Office could possibly let these underage demons get involved.
This time, it can only be considered an accident.
Samuel Chalmers dismissed the Imp Sprites and turned to leave, but just as he turned, Scarlett Jennings grabbed him.
Looking at the fair fingers on his arm, Samuel Chalmers’s eyes deepened.
In some part of his heart, the black and white figure’s finger seemed to suddenly brighten a bit.
Forgetting to withdraw his arm, he heard her say,
"Their task can end here, but I want to be involved in what comes next."
Samuel Chalmers looked into her clear eyes, didn’t refuse immediately, but said,
"Give me a reason."
"I’m an official member of the Mystic Regulation Office."
Scarlett Jennings said, "And I can see the color of Demon Energy, I can help you screen for Demon Energy that might be tainted."
This was something Scarlett Jennings had just thought of.
Apart from her genuine curiosity about the black corruption, more importantly, it was a legitimate reason for her to come and go with him.
Though she didn’t want to admit it, even with Samuel Chalmers’s identity now, she would still face many restrictions even if she wanted to do something.
This situation was the most suitable opportunity.
And the reasons she spoke would naturally be reasons Samuel couldn’t refuse.
If it were the former, Samuel could have completely refused.
But the latter... only she could accomplish.
Moreover, he also wanted to know if her eyes were what he suspected they might be.
"Okay."
Samuel Chalmers’s voice was calm, directly agreeing to her request.
Hearing this, Scarlett Jennings’s eyes curved slightly, with a rare smile of success.
While she was happy, Hannah Hearne was somewhat displeased.
They were all out on a mission together, how could she leave them behind and take on such a clearly more challenging task?
Doesn’t she consider them as partners?
Callum Yuan and Hannah Hearne wanted to continue participating, but... they didn’t have as solid a reason as Scarlett Jennings.
They weren’t even members of the Mystic Regulation Office.
While Hannah Hearne was still struggling with what reason to use to participate, Callum Yuan had already spoken up,
"That little Imp Sprite is one of my mission targets. Even if something unforeseen happens to it, we should take full responsibility."
Hannah Hearne’s eyes lit up at this and immediately agreed, "That’s right!"
This was their mission, why shouldn’t they follow through?
Samuel Chalmers didn’t care about the plans of these two underage demons before him, much less rejecting them as clearly as he did Scarlett Jennings, but didn’t agree either, only said,
"For this matter, you can ask Aaron Hearne, let him give you an answer."
Saying this, he was about to leave.
Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment and followed.
