The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 939

Chapter 939: Chapter 939: They Are All Temple Masters of Clear Breeze Temple

Scarlett Jennings’ eyes were cold, and although her expression didn’t change much, the disgust in her pupils clearly conveyed her emotions to Samuel Chalmers.

She was angry.

Scarlett Jennings was indeed angry.

Not only because the person being treated like a bargaining chip was Samuel Chalmers.

But also because he was the Dragon Vein of Cathay.

The fact that Eric dared to make such conditions showed that those he represented also believed they could exchange for their Dragon Vein with such a ridiculous proposition.

She did not doubt for a moment, if Samuel Chalmers were not a person but an object...

These people might even carve him up piece by piece, just like they once forced Cathay to cede territory...

Scarlett Jennings really wanted the opponent to shut their mouth and stop talking.

After all, she was genuinely tempted to strike both of them down on the spot.

Perhaps sensing this, Eric finally stopped feigning negotiation tactics.

Scarlett Jennings then took Ashton Todd and Stella Gibson to bind them and send them back to the Security Bureau.

She wasn’t concerned when handing them over to Simon, but she knew that the real negotiations with these foreign Masters were usually handled by a few leaders from the Mystical Council.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t often deal with members of the Mystical Council, so she could only ask Samuel Chalmers,

"Are the people from the Mystical Council trustworthy?"

Although their last encounter with the Hua Country Onmyoji was fairly reliable, Scarlett Jennings had heard scattered evaluations about the Mystical Council that weren’t too positive, and she worried that sometimes people might compromise their interests for the sake of "diplomatic peace."

Samuel Chalmers knew that her concerns were not solely for him, although knowing this, his heart still rippled a little from her "protection."

Not wanting her to worry too much, Samuel Chalmers thought for a moment and instead of directly stating whether the council members were reliable, he suddenly mentioned another person,

"I remember you know the Temple Master of Clear Breeze Temple."

Scarlett Jennings was a bit puzzled by his mention of the Temple Master but nodded.

When she first started selling her Practice Talismans on the Spiritual Trade Platform, the first customer was the Temple Master of Clear Breeze Temple.

Due to not having much Spiritual Power, the Temple Master of Clear Breeze Temple had always been her loyal old customer.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t think that Samuel Chalmers brought him up on a whim and quickly made the connection,

"Does the Temple Master of Clear Breeze Temple have connections with the Mystical Council?"

Samuel Chalmers replied directly, 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"He is also a member of the Mystical Council."

Scarlett Jennings:...

This was a status she hadn’t expected.

No wonder he had once offered to recommend her to Capital University and even to become a guest lecturer at the Capital Taoist Academy.

This background had been quite deeply hidden.

After all, in many respects, that person has always seemed rather ordinary among the Heavenly Masters of the Mystical Sect.

Samuel Chalmers continued,

"When Cathay was in turmoil, all the Masters from Clear Breeze Temple descended from the mountain and saved many people."

Hearing him speak of that time, Scarlett Jennings’ expression turned solemn, vaguely guessing the rest.

Sure enough, Samuel Chalmers continued,

"But none of the Masters who descended the mountain that year survived to return.

Today’s Temple Master of Clear Breeze Temple was the youngest brother in the temple at that time, tasked with staying behind, and was the only one who survived."

Scarlett Jennings’ heart felt heavy; never had she casually glimpsed into the fates of her peers, nor did she imagine that the always cheerful Temple Master had such a past.

No wonder...

No wonder the legacy of Clear Breeze Temple is nearly nonexistent today, and neither the Temple Master nor Evander Simpson has high cultivation.
