The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 853

Chapter 853: Chapter 853: But He Calls Them Divine

The oppressive feeling from the scattered Demon Energy from various places made Cyrus Whitley feel as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds.

At the same time, the chilling shadow-like sensations behind him suddenly disappeared.

Yes, he had encountered a ghost.

It happened tonight.

His dead brother sought him out, repeatedly demanding repayment with his life!

Cyrus had never experienced something like this before; although working in engineering, he understood a bit about Geomancy to avoid violating homeowner taboos.

But he himself didn’t believe in it.

Until tonight, when he saw his brother’s ghost spirit.

In his panic, he could only think of Scarlett Jennings.

This employer for whom he had just completed a job; he recognized her immediately as that famous master of Spiritual Affairs on the internet.

He believed she would surely be able to save him.

Because when they wrapped up the job yesterday, she had mentioned he might face calamity soon, advising him not to go out at night.

He had actually taken that advice to heart, but coincidentally just received this job at triple the rate, and his team insisted on celebrating, so he felt he couldn’t refuse.

Who would have expected something to happen because of this?

Though Master Jennings had warned them not to be near this place at night, his brother was set to kill him, leaving him no choice.

At this moment, feeling the cold ominous sensation behind him vanish, Cyrus was filled with relief.

He assumed it must be due to the Barrier set by Master Jennings around the area.

Just like those renowned Taoist Temples, the surrounding area receives protection from Divine beings, keeping Evil Ghosts at bay.

As Cyrus mused over this, despite sensing the eerie gaze from all directions pressuring him, he assumed it was simply the power of some Divine beings venerated by Master Jennings.

With utmost sincerity, he bowed with hands clasped in prayer to the silent and deserted street.

Strangely, as soon as he finished his sudden gesture of praying, the oppressive feeling seemed to lighten somewhat.

Cyrus seemed to realize something and quickly bowed in reverence to both sides. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The pressure that nearly halted his steps dissipated significantly, and Cyrus could finally proceed forward.

Feeling a mix of amazement and gratitude, Cyrus couldn’t help but mutter,

"Thank you, Divine beings, thank you, Divine beings for your protection."

He had no idea that the Demons who were initially annoyed by this intruding human were now quite confused.

Especially when this human started bowing to the empty street.

Originally planning to teach this reckless human a lesson, his actions momentarily bewildered them, making them forget to act.

For now, they even withdrew the oppressive Demon Energy surrounding them.

Being startled awake in the middle of the night by a human wasn’t pleasant.

But, he referred to them as Divine.

He even bowed to them, which was quite polite.

How could they bring themselves to act against him?

Forget it, forget it, they remembered this human’s aura.

Wasn’t he one of those people who came to the Hearne Family’s Half-Demon cultivator courtyard the other day?

Since he’s here looking for her, let the Half-Demon take care of it herself.

The surrounding Demons dispersed, while Cyrus remained unaware, continuing his journey to Scarlett Jennings’ small residence, bowing and expressing gratitude all along the way.

Upon reaching the alley corner, he caught sight of Scarlett Jennings in casual attire.

It was evident she noticed when he intruded.

Feeling the swirling Shadow Energy from outside, Scarlett knew this person was definitely seeking her.
