The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 599

Chapter 599: Chapter 599: Ominous Divination

"Where are you now?" Gregory Xander asked.

Ashton Todd chuckled,

"Senior Brother Xander, you’re not planning to drag me back, are you? Too late, I’m already out of the Capital Metropolitan~"

Scarlett Jennings said straightforwardly,

"If you don’t tell the truth, we might actually come over."

Ashton Todd hesitated on the other end of the phone, about to speak, when Scarlett Jennings added,

"Swear upon your fortune for the next sixty years that everything you say from now on is the truth."

Ashton Todd: ...

That’s harsh.

Gregory Xander and the others: ...

Very harsh.

"I’ll tell the truth."

Ashton Todd almost gave in instantly,

"I really didn’t take any big orders. It’s just that... a sister of mine might have been kidnapped, so I have to find her.

I’ve mostly determined the location. I’m planning to go overnight to bring her back. If I move fast enough, I might still catch the last day of the competition... " 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

According to past practice, the third match lasts two days, and the location he calculated isn’t too far from the Capital Metropolitan. If all goes well, he’ll make it in time.

"Everything I say is true. If I’m lying, may I have no fortune for the next sixty years!"

As soon as Ashton Todd said this, the group fell silent.

Although Scarlett Jennings first suggested it, they hadn’t expected him to actually dare say it.

Seems like it’s true.

"Are you sure you can do it by yourself?"

It wasn’t that Scarlett Jennings and the others looked down on him, but rather that Ashton Todd mainly specialized in non-combat magic.

Ashton Todd naturally reassured them repeatedly, and since Gregory Xander knew he was going to rescue someone, he couldn’t insist on having him return. He just said to wait for his return.

On the high-speed train,

Ashton Todd hung up the phone and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lowering his head, he looked at the divination he had done for the second time, which was the same result as the one from last night—

A bad omen.

Ashton Todd’s expression collapsed instantly, and he couldn’t help but mumble.

"Shouldn’t have acted tough..."

But he couldn’t let his own affairs delay the academy competition.

Not to mention the honor of the academy, more importantly... Scarlett Jennings mentioned she had someone she wished to see in the Capital Metropolitan.

But in order to meet that person, she had to win this academy competition.

Ashton Todd knew Scarlett Jennings had been looking for her master.

He couldn’t help her, but he couldn’t drag her down at a time like this.

"It’s okay, I have talismans. Even if I really encounter danger, I won’t be afraid."

As for this bad omen...

If the divination is bad, then I’ll do it again.

Maybe it will turn good~

...

At the Capital Metropolitan Villa, Nathan White did another divination for Ashton Todd and confirmed that he was safe. Only then did he finally relax.

"I knew it, Ashton Todd definitely has his reasons."

Evan Anson only commented,

"But now, without him, we’re left with only five people in the third match just like the Capital Group. Winning the last match might be a bit difficult."

The third match is an individual event without team points. With Ashton Todd dropping out, his personal score for this match is defaulted to zero points.
