The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 605

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: Ashton Todd’s "Special Skill

Scarlett Jennings looked at Sophie Harper, whose soul body seemed a bit faint, and frowned slightly,

"What’s going on? How did you end up here?"

The fact that Sophie was here indicated that the spiritual power aura she sensed earlier was indeed Ashton’s.

How did Ashton end up here, too?

Speak of the devil.

Just then, inside the house, Ashton Todd heard the commotion and ran out, and upon seeing Scarlett, rushed towards her with a face full of emotion.

"Scarlett! Did you come to rescue me?!"

However, before he could get close, Stella Gibson intercepted him, one hand locking his throat, the other probing his carotid artery,

"Alive! It really is you, Ashton Todd!!"

She exclaimed, hugging him excitedly.

Ashton struggled to free himself, and seeing there was a breach in the barrier behind Scarlett, he quickly mended it before bringing the two inside the house.

As they passed by, Scarlett glanced at the small, weak ghost Sophie had slapped against the wall and couldn’t help but ask,

"What’s with it?"

"Ah, it’s a long story."

Ashton explained briefly, and as the group entered the house, they saw a disheveled and wary young man. At first glance, Scarlett paused slightly.

Ashton introduced,

"This is the only villager who hasn’t been infected, named Jessamine Lloyd."

Scarlett: ... It really is him.

Jessamine Lloyd, she knew him.

To be precise, she knew his sister, Cadence Lloyd.

So, this is where Cadence is from?

Even though she knew now wasn’t the time to get distracted, Scarlett couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly at the apparent marriage line connecting Jessamine and the ghost.

It seemed Cadence had followed the instructions.

She originally thought the male ghost wouldn’t receive the bride he desired and would torment Jessamine’s family before stopping, but unexpectedly, he completed a marriage contract with Jessamine?

The Underworld actually approved it?

This was... quite novel.

Scarlett only reflected for a second before quickly turning her attention from the human-ghost pair to inquire about Ashton’s situation.

That’s when she learned.

Ashton had arrived at the village a day earlier than them and hid with Jessamine Lloyd as soon as he noticed something was wrong.

"The people in the village have all turned into living corpses. I guessed someone was trying to use some evil technique, so I wanted to get Seraphina Stanton out before it was completed..."

When Ashton mentioned Seraphina, his expression turned a bit troubled,

"Seraphina is an Essence Destiny woman. After learning about the situation here, I tried sending a distress signal to the Mystical Sect, but the village was under an isolated array, so I couldn’t reach the outside, and I was worried Seraphina might be in trouble if I delayed any longer..."

So this morning, at the crack of dawn.

After the living corpses turned back into humans and returned to their places, he sneaked out with Sophie, trying to locate the mastermind’s position and rescue Seraphina.

But before he could find the spot, he was attacked by a mass of Black Mist, fortunately rescued by Sophie in time.

But as a result, Sophie’s ghost body was injured, causing her soul body to weaken.

Ashton dared not act carelessly again and retreated to the house to await rescue.

"Scarlett, I’m sorry."

Ashton looked at Scarlett and in earnest said, "And thank you."

If it wasn’t for her letting the Big Ghost follow him, he might have been dead already.

It was also because of him that her Big Ghost got hurt.

He had to apologize to her.

Scarlett said nothing, while Sophie nonchalantly waved it off,

"I said I’m fine. Plus, going out gave us some useful information."

Sophie said, looking at Scarlett with a slightly somber expression,

"Scarlett, the one creating those living corpses in the village is that Nolan Snyder from before! He also captured many people to use for live sacrifices! He’s despicable!"
