The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Nine Lives of Reincarnation

The Shadow Mountain Ghost King twisted his expression upon hearing the asking price,

"Impossible! Ten thousand Spiritual Points is one thing, but just for a past life record, you want my Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order?!"

You have to understand, the Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order can command all the ghosts of Shadow Mountain.

Giving her this order is tantamount to giving her an unconditional opportunity to command all the ghosts of Shadow Mountain.

The Ghost King wouldn’t just give it to her lightly.

Scarlett Jennings saw his immediate refusal and simply picked up her phone to call Ivan again,

"Alright, I’ll have it withdrawn."

The Shadow Mountain Ghost King saw she wouldn’t even negotiate the price and quickly said, "Wait! Although I can’t give the Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order, I’m willing to offer five thousand more Spiritual Points!"

In truth, he didn’t even have fifteen thousand Spiritual Points. After all, he, as a Ghost King, didn’t need points to prove himself.

But he had plenty of minor ghosts under his command, who could do tasks to earn points for him.

Scarlett rejected without a second thought, simply saying,

"Ten thousand points plus the Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order, nothing else."

She paused and continued,

"This is originally your issue, irrelevant to me."

The Ghost King looked conflicted but knew what she said was true.

He had intended to obtain his wife’s past life record himself, but the Underworld prevented Ghost Kings like him from accessing such confidential opportunities.

As he hesitated, Scarlett said again,

"I’ll give you the count of ten to decide. After ten counts, our deal is void."

After speaking, she didn’t bother with the Ghost King’s reaction and began counting down,

"Ten, nine, ... four, three, two..."

As Scarlett counted down to the final number, the Ghost King could no longer think and hurriedly conceded,

"Deal!"

Scarlett smiled slightly and put away her phone.

If the Ghost King had squatted in live streaming channels, he would probably realize Scarlett’s behavior just now mirrored certain live streaming tactics.

By creating tension through a limited countdown, it’s easy for people to lose the ability to think clearly and make split-second decisions by impulsively making a decision.

Unfortunately, the Ghost King had never squatted in such channels.

Although he realized he might have acted impulsively, he, as a dignified Ghost King, couldn’t go back on his word.

Ten minutes later, Ivan indeed sent the Reincarnation Record about Beatrice Fowler to Scarlett’s phone.

Scarlett easily found the lifetime of hers and the Ghost King.

Contrary to what the Ghost King described as a deep mutual pledge for the next life, the Reincarnation Record depicted more from Beatrice’s perspective.

Beatrice Fowler, orphaned early, raised in her uncle’s household, suffered constant humiliation.

Later, encountering a benefactor, who aided her, she became an esteemed young lady, and by fourteen, her beauty captivated many, with suitors flocking to propose.

The benefactor feared her beauty would bring misfortune, and matched her with the son of the Solid City King, hoping someone would protect her.

However, Beatrice caught the eye of the Solid City King, leading his son to divorce his wife and present her to his father.

Taught by her benefactor, Beatrice understood propriety and was repulsed by this, intending to end her life, but fearing implicating her benefactor, she had no choice but to submit under the Solid City King’s power.

For over a decade, the Solid City King showered her with affection, and Beatrice also appeared moved, publicly affectionate with him, becoming a legendary romance.

Yet in turbulent times, a neighboring Crown Prince, hearing Beatrice’s fame, deliberately demanded the Solid City King to surrender her to instigate war, threatening attack otherwise.

Oppressed by the monarch and city lords, Beatrice, unwilling to be remembered as a femme fatale, willingly poisoned herself.

Ending her absurd and brief life, she also broke free from the half-life entanglement with the Solid City King.

Yet on her deathbed, seeing the Solid City King crying bitterly and even contemplating following her in death, she softened.

These people simply refuse to face their own incompetence.

"After Beatrice Fowler’s death, you used her death as a pretext to launch an attack on the monarch, causing untold suffering. The Underworld attributed part of this murderous blame to her, delaying her reincarnation for a century."

Scarlett spoke coldly, looking at the Ghost King,

"Even if her words before death weren’t just to comfort you, her limbo status after death, wandering the Underworld for a century before reincarnation, do you think she would still be willing to wait for you?"

The Ghost King was hit at a sore spot by her words, momentarily at a loss for explanation, and could only awkwardly say,

"I...I didn’t know it would implicate her..."

"Well, now you do!"

Violet Allen couldn’t help but retort at him.

Scarlett didn’t pay more attention to the Ghost King and continued flipping through,

In Beatrice Fowler’s second life, burdened by part of the murderous blame, she didn’t have a favorable fate, dying early again.

In the third and fourth lives that followed, each time she was reborn, she faced various injustices and hardships for being a woman.

In the fifth life, during a great drought, she was offered as a sacrifice by ignorant villagers, burned alive, dying with bitter hatred, swearing never to be reborn as a woman.

However, in the sixth life, although she still couldn’t escape her female destiny, she managed to achieve a good end through accumulating merit by helping orphans.

Until the seventh life, she voluntarily joined a revolution, risking her life to deliver crucial intelligence, saving hundreds of soldiers.

Because of this merit, in her eighth life she was finally born a heavenly daughter admired by everyone. Yet faced with her nation’s lack of strength, she voluntarily donated her inherited wealth for national construction.

And finally, the ninth life, as Sebastian Carew in this life.

As she wished, she was reborn as a gifted individual living freely and happily.

It can be said that everything in this life is thanks to her own accumulation over several lives.

And in these nine lifetimes recorded, Scarlett discovered a unique aspect.

That is, in all these nine reincarnations, Beatrice Fowler had always received help from a benefactor...
