"Found it."
Scarlett Jennings’ eyes lit up slightly, then she looked at the spot on the map indicated by the demon light, and her eyes immediately darkened.
The two beams of demon light corresponded to Ianthe Hearne and Donovan Jennings, who carried the aura of her fox fur.
Back then, Scarlett Jennings used the fox fur she plucked from Ianthe Hearne to cloak Donovan Jennings’ aura and entered the Academy of Mystique.
Ever since then, Donovan had been wearing that red string, and Scarlett, with the thought of giving it a try, turned to search for Ianthe Hearne’s demon energy.
The demon energy of the Seven-tailed Fox was strong, and she indeed found it.
The only thing she hadn’t expected was that the locations indicated by the two strands of demon energy almost overlapped on the map—
It was in the Capital Metropolitan.
Who in Capital Metropolitan harbored intentions towards Donovan Jennings?
The only ones Scarlett Jennings could think of were the Hearne Clan.
When Magnolia Hearne told her about the Hearne Clan’s search for the most suitable vessel, she guessed their target might be herself.
Thus, since entering the Academy of Mystique, she had been quickly enhancing her demonic power, always wary of the Hearne Family. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
However, she hadn’t expected they wouldn’t directly target her but instead reached out towards Donovan!
For once, anger clouded Scarlett Jennings’ gaze, mixed with a chilling intent.
Having determined Donovan’s probable location, Scarlett suppressed her inner rage, looked at Samuel Chalmers beside her, and merely said,
"I can’t go to Sea City with you."
She said,
"My brother is hidden in Capital Metropolitan, I need to go back and find him."
Samuel Chalmers had also seen the direction indicated by the demon energy just now, clearly understanding her decision, his dark eyes sank, and he simply said,
"Alright, I’ll go back with you."
Having been away from Capital Metropolitan for nearly half a month, he might as well go back and take a look.
Scarlett Jennings originally intended to tell him there was no need to accompany her back; the foreign master in Capital Metropolitan was still there, returning would just be a heap of trouble.
But, for some reason, she didn’t say it aloud.
Perhaps she felt that even if she told him, he would still accompany her, or maybe, given the unclear situation with Donovan, she hoped he would stay by her side.
Having confirmed their return to Capital Metropolitan, the two of them wasted no time, quickly bid farewell to the villagers of Artefact Village, got on the newly transformed dragon, Dashiell, and flew straight back to Capital Metropolitan.
...
Meanwhile, in Capital Metropolitan,
at the Hearne Clan’s garden.
Ianthe Hearne sensed someone searching her demon energy at that very moment.
The other party was even using the demon energy of her kin, Hannah Hearne, to search for her.
With just a slight thought, she guessed what might be happening.
Her beautiful brows slightly furrowed, not immediately blocking the demon energy from allowing the other party to search for her whereabouts; instead, she let her demon energy unabashedly overflow.
The red demon energy swirled around her, and in the next second, seven fiery fox tails appeared behind her.
The beautiful fox tails moved in accordance with her will as Ianthe Hearne raised her hand, and her fingertips suddenly gathered a strand of demon energy.
The demon energy, like a thread, vaguely moved towards a certain direction, along with the seven tails behind her, subtly swaying in the same direction.
While Scarlett Jennings followed the guidance of the demon energy to discover Donovan’s location, Ianthe Hearne easily traced her own demon energy and the unique sensitivity of the fox fur to find Donovan Jennings, who was locked in a barrier and still in a deep sleep within a room at the Hearne Clan’s grounds.
It was a unique barrier of the Hearne Clan, capable of concealing all living soul energies.
However, it couldn’t hide the demon energy of a Great Demon.
With just a glance, Ianthe Hearne knew this was the work of those within the clan.
