Over there, Scarlett Jennings had just left the hospital room when she bumped into people from the Mystic Regulation Office who had come to temporarily protect the young canine demon.
At the same time, she received a message from Aaron Hearne for her.
Coincidentally, she had something to discuss with him, so she went directly to the Mystic Regulation Headquarters.
But unexpectedly, she saw another person there at the Mystic Regulation Office.
Hannah Hearne.
Hannah, also a descendant of the Fox Tribe, was not an unexpected sight here. What surprised Scarlett was that Hannah’s presence was due to the heart-stealing murder case in the warehouse.
"That was originally my mission! The people who were killed in the warehouse were taken down by Callum Yuan and me. The people we didn’t personally strike down are now dead at the hands of another demon!
If I don’t personally drag out that heart-stealing evil demon, how could I face myself? How could the Hearne family face it? How could the Demon Clan face it?!"
In a few words, Hannah Hearne had elevated the significance of the case from a personal matter to something involving the entire Demon Clan.
However, Aaron Hearne was unmoved by her passionate speech. Glancing at the entering Scarlett Jennings, he asked Hannah Hearne,
"Finished talking? If you’re done, then leave. The Mystic Regulation Headquarters is not open to anyone outside the staff."
Hannah Hearne was so bluntly rebuffed, and after glancing at Scarlett Jennings, she suddenly straightened her back, showing Aaron Hearne a somewhat plaintive expression, her voice turning sorrowful,
"After all, I’m your cousin! Before Magnolia Hearne was around, I was the only girl in the family, and you all pampered me...
Now that Scarlett Jennings is here, she’s all you have in your hearts and eyes.
If I had known I’d be so disliked now, I might as well have left at the start, wandered off alone as a fox!"
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Silence, and more endless silence.
Hannah Hearne was the daughter of her grandaunt, Ianthe Hearne, a fact Scarlett had only recently learned.
But no one had told her that Hannah Hearne, a demon, actually had a split personality disorder.
Aaron Hearne appeared accustomed to Hannah Hearne’s occasional outbursts, even calmly raising his eyes to glance at her,
"What novels have you been reading lately?"
Hannah Hearne turned her head down in mock sadness, but was honest with her words, "The Fake Daughter story, it’s been really popular lately."
She had set herself up as the fake daughter, and as for the real daughter, it was naturally the returning Scarlett Jennings of the Fox Tribe. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Unfortunately, not everyone cooperated, which was quite challenging for her too.
Previously, Scarlett Jennings had heard Blue Mirror talk about novels during the spar, and now she finally understood the reason behind Hannah Hearne’s impromptu drama acts, leaving her speechless.
She thought...it might have been better if it was a split personality disorder.
Aaron Hearne didn’t care much about her answer, merely saying,
"The reason you have time to read novels is that your coursework isn’t heavy enough. I’ll inform the academy to increase the Special Demon Squad’s workload."
Upon hearing this, Hannah Hearne’s expression changed, her voice becoming shrill, "Cousin! You can’t do this to me!"
Aaron Hearne finally couldn’t bear it anymore, raising his gaze, coldly scanning through her, "Get out."
Hannah Hearne immediately complied, "Leaving now."
As she passed by Scarlett Jennings, she didn’t forget to give her a wink.
Scarlett Jennings kept her expression serious, maintaining a facade of complete earnestness.
Once Hannah Hearne left, Scarlett Jennings finally stepped forward,
"That young canine demon woke up and said something that I think you should know."
"I’m already aware."
The moment the young canine demon woke up, he received the news and arranged for someone to go over, and during Scarlett Jennings’ time here, he already knew what the young canine demon said.
"It’s no surprise that the opponent is after the Dragon Vein. With Spiritual Energy thinning to the point of vanishing globally, only Cathay, shielded by the Dragon Vein, retains abundant Spiritual Energy. This has fostered the rise of so many Masters and allowed the Demon Clan to thrive and survive..."
Aaron Hearne paused here, looking at Scarlett Jennings, adding,
"The National Protection Dragon Vein has always attracted more than just the Ghost Fog Organization."
Scarlett Jennings felt a twinge of unease, recalling Samuel Chalmers and his role as a moving Spiritual Energy Extractor before waking. Considering his identity now, it didn’t seem so strange after all.
But beyond the Ghost Fog, there are still many coveting his existence?...
