The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 970

Chapter 970: Chapter 970: Terms of the Deal

It was as if a once tranquil and profound abyss had begun to show signs of flowing tides.

As if time, once stagnant, had suddenly started moving again.

The black-and-white imagery had gained color, and at this moment, Samuel Chalmers truly felt all the emotions within his memories.

These were Samuel Chalmers’ feelings for Scarlett Jennings.

He gazed at her, his dark eyes uncharacteristically showing a slight tremble, and upon closer inspection, a long-lost and gentle light could be seen.

However, Scarlett Jennings didn’t notice that glimmer of light at the moment.

Her attention was caught by the sudden appearance of a golden halo in her hand, and she could feel the conscious contract power emanating from it. Although it felt odd, she had no time to ponder this unexpected change right now.

Samuel Chalmers, in his efforts to help her, even resorted to their past identities, so she shouldn’t let herself be distracted.

Seeing that she was "unmoved," Samuel Chalmers was about to say something, but Magnolia Hearne’s voice interrupted again, this time directed at Qi Qi,

"You really stumbled into something big."

You truly found yourself an extraordinary son-in-law for your daughter.

Magnolia Hearne was also surprised; she couldn’t understand why the rules of the Dragon Vein that came into existence with Scarlett weren’t effective, but that didn’t prevent her happiness for Scarlett, and furthermore...

She retorted to Emily Hearne,

"I am just more reliable than you."

Especially as a mother.

Emily Hearne gave her a calm glance before looking back at Samuel Chalmers,

"As Scarlett Jennings’ husband, you indeed have the right to intervene in today’s matter. But as Dragon Vein, you shouldn’t meddle."

Emily Hearne seemed to sigh and slowly stood up from her seat. She walked through the two sides of the Elders and directly approached Scarlett and Samuel Chalmers.

Her eyes seemed to harbor some obscure emotion, but it was fleeting, and she hid it casually. Staring at Samuel Chalmers, she said,

"The Ten-tailed Sky Fox concerns not only the Hearne Lineage but all the Demon Clan. Even you can’t make all Elders of the clan give up with just words."

It wasn’t the first time Scarlett Jennings had heard of the schemes behind the container, but it was the first time hearing about the scheme’s true purpose.

The first time knowing the purpose of seeking a container, she merely thought it was to fulfill the ten-thousand-year unachieved Ten-tailed Sky Fox. She thought it was to restore the Hearne Lineage to the pinnacle status within the Demon Clan.

But now thinking back, she realized she had oversimplified things.

The creation of the Ten-tailed was not just about the Hearne Lineage, but about the entire Demon Clan. Samuel Chalmers not refuting Emily Hearne immediately meant she was telling the truth.

Samuel Chalmers had always known what the Hearne Lineage intended to do.

Scarlett Jennings wanted to ask more, but Emily Hearne clearly wasn’t going to give her the chance. She looked directly at Samuel Chalmers,

"For your sake, you can take them all away today, but if you want our clan to abandon the refining of the Ten-tailed... Adults should at least offer an equivalent exchange."

Even as Dragon Vein, it wouldn’t be feasible to make the Hearne Clan give in with just a word.

If he’s choosing to protect her, he should at least offer an adequately weighted bargaining chip.

Samuel Chalmers understood what Emily Hearne meant, and when he decided to stand up, he had already made up his mind.

Without considering Scarlett’s matters, he was about to respond when Scarlett Jennings pressed down on his wrist abruptly.

Before he could speak, she replied first,

"He doesn’t need to trade; your negotiation is with me."

Scarlett Jennings didn’t know exactly what Emily Hearne or the Hearne Clan wanted ultimately, but she could guess what Samuel Chalmers would need to sacrifice in exchange for using the Ten-tailed Sky Fox.

At most, it was that golden light of his, or even... his Vital Stone.
