The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 891

Chapter 891: Chapter 891: The Source of Corruption, Personally Suppressed

Scarlett Jennings nodded at him, "Okay."

Although she didn’t have the clout to enlist You Xuan’s help, Cassian Wolf could~

The Mystic Regulation Office conducted overnight interrogations tonight, because Luke Hearne was completely disarmed by her words, revealing all the information he knew despite his injuries.

Even though the actual nature of the so-called source of filth remains unknown, the threats she used to scare Luke Hearne weren’t entirely unfounded.

The outburst of filthy aura consumes demonic power and life force, and even after purification, a demon body contaminated by the filth suffers damage, including energy corruption.

So even if she hadn’t mentioned it, Cassian, as the head of the Mystic Regulation Office, would have sought You Xuan out for the imps’ sake.

Nathan White assisting her might even make the task much easier.

Seeing her nod, Nathan White smiled shyly and then took out his phone, whispering,

"Then, I’ll inform the dean."

He’s currently a student at Sea City Taoist Academy, so if he’s staying here temporarily, he definitely needs to inform the dean.

Scarlett Jennings waited for him to finish messaging and confirmed that he was staying here tonight, so she didn’t try to persuade him further.

She reached into her pocket and suddenly pulled out a candy, placing it in Nathan’s palm,

"This candy is produced here on Demon Street; it tastes a bit different from regular candy. Try it if you’re tired."

Nathan White looked at the candy in his hand, nodded at her, and said softly, "Alright."

Scarlett Jennings bid farewell to Nathan White and then left the clinic.

As she stepped outside, she saw three people standing there.

Donovan Jennings, along with Lucas Jennings and Adam Jennings.

Scarlett was slightly surprised to hear Lucas say,

"Brother Donovan said it’s not safe for a girl like you to be out alone at night, so we’re here to pick you up!"

In fact, Donovan was planning to come pick her up by himself,

but both Lucas and Adam, having experienced the thrilling events earlier in the day, couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so they insisted on coming with Donovan.

Though they all knew that, with Scarlett Jennings’s skills, the safety concerns should be reversed.

However, after observing Donovan and Uncle’s treatment of Scarlett, they both understood something—

No matter how powerful Scarlett is, she’s still just a girl.

Just because she’s strong and independent doesn’t mean she doesn’t need anyone’s care.

Others might not know, but from the beginning, Donovan and Luca Jennings have always treated Scarlett as an ordinary girl.

Whatever she hasn’t felt in the past eighteen years, they intend to make it up to her.

And now, Lucas and Adam want to do the same.

"Sis, you see, good thing we came to pick you up; this street at night is so scary without even streetlights."

Lucas pointed to the pitch-black street ahead.

It was already past midnight; though other streets were still lively with bright lights and bustling barbeque and supper scenes, Demon Street was particularly quiet.

It seemed that once night fell, this street stopped functioning.

Scarlett looked in the direction he pointed and smiled slightly, "This street does have lights."

Adam Jennings looked puzzled, as Demon Street had been cold and dark all the way, without any lights?

And then, as soon as Scarlett finished her words, the streetlights on both sides of the street where they stood suddenly lit up.

As they moved forward step by step, the streetlights ahead also lit up one by one.

Lucas was a bit surprised, "The streetlights on this street are sensitive lamps?"

Then, he thought something was off,

"No, they didn’t light up when we came by earlier."

"You could say they’re sensitive lamps."

Scarlett explained, "But they react to demon energy."

She said, "The streetlights here are controlled by a Lantern Demon."

The Lantern Demon only provides illumination for the demon in Demon Street; they didn’t light up earlier because they are all human...

Donovan and the others: ...

So, were they just treated differently by the Lantern Demon on this street?

No, the point now should be that, the streetlights themselves are mystical creatures!

Having seen various demons during the day, the three quickly calmed down after the initial shock of hearing the lights were demons too.

Slowly, the four walked along the path to the small courtyard; Donovan suddenly mentioned,

"There’s some business at the company; I have to return to Sea City tomorrow. I’ll find time to visit you afterwards."

After saying this, he looked at both Lucas and Adam, "You two will return with me tomorrow."

Lucas was immediately crestfallen upon hearing this.
