The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584: Chapter 584: The President of Capital Taoist Academy Arrives

The audience seats erupted in a clamor.

Elysia Xander turned her head abruptly, her eyes slowly lighting up upon seeing the newcomer.

Preston Xander walked up to the stage, looking at Elysia Xander’s disheveled appearance, his eyes showing a hint of pity and helplessness.

He turned his head, meeting Gregory Xander’s cold gaze, then looked away, addressing the person in charge of hosting from the Capital Metropolitan,

"I know the situation, Elysia Xander indeed had some excessive behavior during the contest, but I believe she didn’t have malicious intent.

I hope the academy will consider her punishment carefully, after all, the competition has just started and we need to ensure the following events proceed normally."

Preston Xander spoke calmly, but it was clear that he wanted to help Elysia Xander out of her situation.

By asking the person in charge to ensure the continuity of the competition, it meant ensuring Elysia Xander’s qualification to participate.

In addition, as the legitimate leader of the Mountain First Sect, his personal involvement and active voice required the academy to give him some face.

Elysia Xander also dared not to persist at this point. Hearing this, she immediately chimed in,

"I admit I didn’t control my strength well at the time, but I absolutely didn’t intend to harm anyone maliciously."

She glanced at Scarlett Jennings’s direction, suddenly saying,

"The reason I dared to act so freely was because I knew beforehand that they all had amulets given by the principal, and I was sure they weren’t in any mortal danger when I acted."

Elysia Xander’s words were firm.

If they hadn’t seen her ruthlessness before, Gregory Xander and his group might have almost believed her.

"Do you believe what you’re saying? This is obviously an excuse you made up at the last minute!"

Gregory Xander was certain that Elysia Xander hadn’t even considered the presence of amulets when she acted.

Despite Gregory speaking up, Elysia Xander’s face remained calm,

"When Scarlett Jennings acted against me, she knew about the amulet. You believe her, but when it comes to me, it’s an excuse. You’re clearly targeting me on purpose!"

"Am I deliberately targeting, or are you just stubbornly arguing..."

"Enough!"

Preston Xander interrupted their argument with a low reprimand.

He turned his head, casting a reproachful glance at Gregory Xander,

"Since when has your tolerance become so small? Clinging to every little thing, do you want people to laugh at our Xander Family?!"

A flash of anger and hurt appeared in Gregory Xander’s eyes, his fists clenched tightly at his sides, yet he stood straight and addressed Preston Xander firmly,

"What’s being discussed now is the academy’s competition, Xander Family Head. Your insistence on shielding her is what will make everyone laugh at our family!"

He didn’t call him father but directly addressed him as the Xander Family Head, creating a distance as if he wasn’t a member of the Xander Family.

Preston Xander valued protocol greatly, and upon hearing this, he was somewhat annoyed. Just as he was about to speak, Scarlett Jennings suddenly interjected.

"Whether it’s an excuse or not, doesn’t need arguing. Since she’s claiming she acted making sure we were safe, let’s verify the truth with a Truth Talisman."

She said, looking at the Capital Metropolitan’s person in charge,

"Isn’t this the way of those in the Mystical Sect?"

As fellow masters, deliberately arguing over the truth of words was truly unnecessary.

The person in charge nodded upon hearing this, saying,

"Indeed."

But unless absolutely necessary, they usually wouldn’t use such means.

Truth Talismans or talismanic techniques like Soul Search would generally only be used on wrongdoers like Evil Masters or those harming others with forbidden techniques.

After all, it involved privacy, and the academy also needed to maintain the students’ dignity.

Elysia Xander didn’t expect Scarlett Jennings to actually propose using a Truth Talisman on her, momentarily looking at her with resentment.

Initially, they had no grievances, yet she sided with Gregory Xander against her, clearly valuing his rightful heir status and bootlicking!

She had seen many such people!

Preston Xander heard the academy’s stance, clearly disagreeing,

"Elysia Xander is not a criminal; the academy doesn’t have the right to use a Truth Talisman on her."

Then turning his head, he looked at Scarlett Jennings, his gaze sharp,

"I know you, you have some talent in Talismanic Magic, but as peers from the Mystical Sect, I advise this young friend not to be too aggressive in handling matters. Acting too extreme could lead you astray."

Upon hearing those words, not only did the audience from Sea City erupt, but even the Jennings Family watching the broadcast from afar was equally incensed.

"Him! How dare he say that about my sister?!"

Lucas Jennings was the first to jump up, pointing at the broadcast screen and cursing,
