The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563: Chapter 563: The Shadow Ghost That Was Annihilated

Li Chenminghua’s words left Ariel Zimmerman momentarily speechless.

Li Chenminghua turned to Scarlett Jennings, her eyes full of pleading,

"Master Jennings, I’m not trying to stop you from killing it, but before you do, can you save my parents’ souls from its body?"

She spoke while clutching Scarlett’s arm and directly knelt before her,

"I beg you, save my parents; don’t let their souls be scattered with it!"

Cathay believes in reincarnation, and while her parents are already gone, she wants their souls to find peace.

This is the only thing she can do for them now.

Scarlett Jennings looked at her, her almond eyes full of silence, and after a long pause, she finally said,

"But their souls can no longer be saved."

Perhaps at the beginning there was a way to rescue them, but it’s been two years...

To be blunt, their souls have long been absorbed by the Shadow Ghost, becoming part of its body.

They have already become indistinguishable from scattered souls.

Gregory Xander, standing by, also spoke up to explain,

"Your parents’ souls were devoured, not trapped inside it. Whether we kill it or not, your parents won’t return."

It’s cruel, but it’s the reality.

Li Chenminghua listened to their words, her face overwhelmed with collapse and despair, yet she still desperately clung to Scarlett’s arm, her voice becoming shriller.

"I don’t believe it! My parents are definitely still inside it; they’re protecting me! How could they be gone?!"

"What remains inside it is not soul but their last consciousness in this world, and such consciousness won’t remain forever. With time, these consciousnesses will disappear, and the Shadow Ghost will escape from this control..."

Scarlett Jennings spoke, paused, looked at Li Chenminghua, and spoke mercilessly,

"When those consciousnesses completely disappear, the first thing the Shadow Ghost will do is devour your soul."

Li Chenminghua’s pupils trembled, and her hand gripping Scarlett’s arm froze slightly.

"...How, how could it..."

Scarlett Jennings, seeing her unwilling to release her grip, hesitated for a moment and then asked,

"In their final moments, your parents wanted you to live. Do you intend to betray all they’ve sacrificed for you?"

The words made Li Chenminghua’s body tremble again, and after a long pause, she finally slowly released her grip on Scarlett’s arm.

The man Shadow Ghost had been pretending to be dead on the ground and seized the opportunity the moment Li Chenminghua didn’t completely release her grip, suddenly transforming into a dark shadow, rapidly slipping away across the floor towards the balcony.

Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but scream when she saw this,

"Ah! It’s trying to escape!"

Gregory Xander saw this and was about to act when Scarlett Jennings, without looking back, quickly reached for a Thunder Talisman with her free left hand and shot it in the direction of the escaping shadow.

"...Boom."

A faint command was given, and at the instant the sound fell, a thin lightning bolt struck outside the room, hitting the Shadow Ghost that had just run out onto the balcony.

In an instant, the already weakened Shadow Ghost was struck into a patch of black ash by the lightning, dissipating in the air in no time. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

An expressionless Gregory Xander: ...

Though not using a spell, the Talisman Power’s potency was greatly reduced, but...

Thunder Talismans as high-level talismans usually can’t be activated by masters without using spells or runes...

Even though he had witnessed her ability and talent before, Gregory Xander still sometimes felt a bit defeated.

Fortunately, the academy competition in December was coming.

She could go to Capital Metropolitan and find someone else to strike back.

...

After dealing with the Shadow Ghost and asking the director to settle Li Chenminghua and Joseph Snyder in the room, Gregory Xander and Scarlett Jennings accompanied Ariel Zimmerman to the hotel’s buffet restaurant for breakfast.

On the way, Gregory Xander suddenly said to Scarlett Jennings seriously,
