Upon hearing Emily say those words, Ianthe’s heart sank suddenly.
Because she did not agree with the family’s plans to find a vessel, Ianthe hadn’t been paying much attention to the progress of this issue within the clan.
Especially after the incident with Magnolia, she subconsciously rejected news related to this subject even more.
Yet after Aaron sent Scarlett to the Academy of Mystique and she learned from Hannah about how rapidly Scarlett was growing, Ianthe had faint suspicions.
That’s why she asked Hannah to secretly interact with Scarlett and look out for her.
But she never imagined that the family’s target wasn’t Scarlett.
But her brother, Donovan!
"He’s... isn’t he an ordinary person..."
An ordinary person without a Demon Bone, how could he possibly withstand it?
Sister... does she really want to kill that child?
Ianthe looked at Emily, with an obvious chill in her eyes.
She truly didn’t care about Magnolia’s feelings for that child, did she?!
The clan members all said that years ago Emily had proactively paired with a human to give birth to a half-demon child to personally verify the authenticity of a clan legend using her strong bloodline.
To her, Magnolia was just an experimental subject.
But only Ianthe knew how much her sister loved that man and the only bloodline left by him.
She didn’t understand, if she cared, then why be so harsh?
Perhaps realizing the chill in Ianthe’s eyes, Emily slightly lifted her gaze but said,
"Judging by the look, do you want to fight me? Do you value Magnolia’s child that much?"
Ianthe pressed her lips together, and before she could speak, Emily answered her initial question,
"Donovan, indeed, is an ordinary person, but... not being able to awaken demonic power doesn’t mean he hasn’t inherited demon blood."
Emily paused here and added,
"Magnolia, she has never been someone who could be easily manipulated or arranged."
Knowing the family’s plans, she still chose to give birth to a child, so it was impossible that she wouldn’t protect that child.
...
On that end, perhaps knowing Scarlett was eager to find Brother Donovan, or perhaps wanting Scarlett and Samuel to witness the "pride" of his Dragon Transformation, Dashiell returned to Capital Metropolitan with them in less than half an hour.
As they entered Capital Metropolitan, the aura that magic could sense became more distinct in location.
Scarlett had been there before.
It was the Clan Garden of the Hearne Clan, the residence of the Clan Leader of the Fox Tribe.
It was also where Sylvia had brought her and her mother after deciding to return to the Hearne Clan.
Accompanied by a dragon roar, Dashiell landed and reverted to human form, and Scarlett and Samuel simultaneously appeared before the familiar red-painted gate.
On the way here, Scarlett had already shared her deduction, and both Samuel and Dashiell knew what kind of place this was.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t considered involving the Security Bureau.
But now she was outwardly affiliated with the Hearne Clan, so clan matters, unless essential, wouldn’t be interfered with by outsiders.
And if the Security Bureau got involved, the Mystic Regulation Office backing the Hearne Clan wouldn’t ignore it.
With numerous foreign forces currently eyeing Capital Metropolitan, the Mystical Council wouldn’t allow the Security Bureau and Mystic Regulation Office to escalate into conflict.
In this situation where the facts weren’t clear, she couldn’t involve too many parties.
Besides, she wanted to determine the true intentions of the Hearne Clan.
If it’s about a vessel, is the target her... or Donovan?
Seeing her staring at the gate without taking action, Samuel assumed she had some concerns and said,
"Do what you wish, don’t worry about the consequences."
As long as she doesn’t break the heavens, he can manage.
Yeah...
Even if she breaks the heavens, with some effort, he should be able to handle it too.
Scarlett glanced at him, nodded, and said in a deep voice,
"Yes, I know my limits."
