The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Chapter 487: The Ghost Epidemic Will Reappear

Scarlett Jennings didn’t mind the system’s feelings, her eyes slightly moved upon hearing the Rat Demon’s words,

"It claims to be a god? What kind of god?"

"A god of nonsense."

The Rat Demon barely suppressed its smile, glanced at the turtle on the table, and spoke with great disdain,

"You humans are easily misled by those so-called gods and immortals, but we demons are not. At most, it’s something special, not related to a god at all, not even worthy of being called a demon ghost."

Before Scarlett came over, she had specifically taken off the copper sheath from the Peach Wood Sword and put it on her hand, thus she could hear the electronic sound with obvious fluctuations coming from inside the turtle.

[I am a god! How dare a mere Rat Demon question the divine, you will suffer divine punishment.]

Scarlett listened without changing her expression, and then looked at the Rat Demon,

"So what do you think it is? And why is it trapped in the Ghost Realm with you?"

"I don’t know what kind of thing it is, but it’s different from me. I was accidentally trapped in the Ghost Realm, it came in on its own."

The Rat Demon said, "It thinks hiding in the Ghost Realm will go unnoticed, but I found out long ago. Later, I instigated the master of the Ghost Realm to participate in a game of cat and mouse. It has been picking and choosing among the players, saying it’s looking for a new host."

The Rat Demon spoke casually, and Victor Quintero’s face suddenly sank,

"Are you the one who instigated the Ghost Realm master to mess with those players?!"

He had been thinking about how this offline cat-and-mouse game had risen to prominence more than half a year ago, yet why it was only recently that something like this happened.

So it turns out this Rat Demon was the mastermind!

The Rat Demon, having accidentally spilled the beans, was not uneasy. Upon hearing Victor’s questioning, he appeared indifferent and even chuckled,

"So what if I did? Humans always say cats catch mice, but why should mice be caught? If they want to play, then I’ll play something even more exciting, giggle~"

Victor could hardly believe it was due to such a flimsy reason, and nearly laughed in anger,

"You demons truly are wicked."

Not only wicked but also fond of toying with human nature!

Scarlett seemed to have a realization and suddenly said,

"I have heard of another demon who likes to toy with human nature."

As she spoke, her almond eyes gazed deeply at the Rat Demon in front of her and asked him,

"Are you the same Rat Demon who once had Amelia Tucker trade thirty years of her life for her mother’s health?"

Amelia had said that the Rat Demon told her only after the exchange that the teacher she held dear was actually the mother who abandoned her, a test of human nature itself.

Scarlett had been impressed by the Rat Demon Amelia had described, but she hadn’t expected to meet this legendary Rat Demon in Sea City like this.

The Rat Demon merely raised an eyebrow slightly at the mention of Amelia Tucker,

"Amelia Tucker? The name sounds familiar, probably me. But as insignificant as some unrelated humans, I usually don’t bother to remember them."

His attitude was indifferent, yet Scarlett inexplicably sensed that the Rat Demon’s impression of Amelia wasn’t as dismissive as he claimed.

"You remember her."

Scarlett stated confidently, "After all, she was probably one of the few who disappointed you."

He tried to toy with human nature, but Amelia Tucker’s reaction proved that human nature wasn’t just about resentment.

Scarlett’s words exposed the Rat Demon’s thoughts, and his previously nonchalant expression instantly darkened, his squinted eyes fixated on Scarlett, suddenly asking,

"Since you’re so clever, can you guess who that person standing by your side that day was?"

Scarlett was caught off guard by his sudden question, instinctively thinking of Samuel Chalmers.

The only one the Rat Demon had seen was Samuel Chalmers.

"Who is he?" she asked.

Seeing her genuine interest, the Rat Demon chuckled again, quickly stopping,

"I don’t know either."

He put on an earnest and innocent look, inexplicably giving Scarlett the feeling that she had been played.

Feeling a bit speechless, she glanced at the Rat Demon before her, realizing she had asked what she wanted to ask, she simply stood up, grabbed the turtle from the table, and prepared to leave.
