The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 757

Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Spirit Medium

When Samuel Chalmers returned to the villa, the sky was just barely lightening with the first hints of dawn.

As he was climbing the stairs, his steps suddenly paused.

Looking up, he saw Scarlett Jennings in her pajamas standing at the top of the stairs, watching him. It was clear she had long been aware of his midnight departure.

Samuel Chalmers stood silent for a moment, then continued upstairs to her side, asking,

"Did I wake you?"

Scarlett Jennings shook her head, pointing to her shoulder, where Liora Gold was sitting with her head tilted, looking slightly innocent.

Scarlett Jennings said, "She sensed her companion sneaking out in the middle of the night."

Samuel Chalmers turned his head slightly, his dark eyes gazing at Araminta Gold clinging to his shoulder, who was insistent on following him out.

Araminta Gold, seeing his look, covered her face and quickly dove into the pocket of his coat, refusing to come out.

Scarlett Jennings looked at Samuel Chalmers and asked,

"Is the matter you’re handling troublesome?"

"Not particularly troublesome." Samuel Chalmers thought for a moment, then said, "Just a bit cunning."

Scarlett Jennings stared at him intently, her eyes clear, but she said,

"You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to."

Samuel Chalmers: ...

Samuel Chalmers ended up telling her about the Dreamy Tapirus.

Including the part where a piece of his dream had once been devoured by the creature.

Mainly because without this explanation, it would be difficult to justify why he bypassed the Mystic Regulation Office to pursue the Dreamy Tapirus.

Scarlett Jennings, hearing his rare honesty, didn’t beat around the bush either, saying,

"You help me find the person whose face was changed by Elysia Xander, and I will accompany you to find the Dreamy Tapirus."

Without waiting for Samuel Chalmers’s refusal, she declared,

"After all, I am a member of the Mystic Regulation Office."

This was one of those times when having multiple roles had its advantages.

She had agreed to help find a Monkey Demon when Ashton Todd secretly approached her, so there was no reason she wouldn’t assist her own fiancé.

Samuel Chalmers anticipated her reaction when he brought it up, so he didn’t argue further and nodded, "Okay."

His gaze fell upon Scarlett Jennings’s pajamas.

Though it was winter and the villa had the heating on, her nightwear seemed a bit thin.

Instead of continuing the conversation, he led her back to her room to get some more sleep.

They didn’t inform Gregory Xander and Kingston Jennings about the Dreamy Tapirus.

However, the next day, the group didn’t have much luck finding leads on the girl.

Given that Elysia Xander participated in a popular show with that girl’s face, there should have been a few people who recognized it online.

But during the trip, Scarlett Jennings specifically searched the internet for information and found no "old acquaintances" acknowledging that face.

And tracing Elysia Xander’s actions after arriving in Peaceful City, they couldn’t determine if choosing that face was random or premeditated.

Seeing Scarlett Jennings troubled by their lack of progress, Kingston Jennings, who had been mostly quiet, suddenly spoke up.

[Perhaps I can give it a try.]

Since his aunt let him accompany them, he should contribute in some way, right?

Although Kingston Jennings didn’t have any skills in searching for people, he possessed the Power of Word Spirit.

All he needed to say was, "You will find the person you seek."

And maybe clues would miraculously appear.

Both Samuel Chalmers and Gregory Xander were aware of Kingston Jennings’s abilities, but still looked at him with slight curiosity.

"I observed the spiritual power she wielded when fighting Sophie Harper, which was different and even weaker than her own. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Gregory Xander quickly deduced the connection between the technique and the Face Changing Technique,

"You mean the person whose appearance was taken might also be from our Mystical Sect!"

If so, the search range becomes much narrower!

Scarlett Jennings cautioned Gregory Xander, saying, "Don’t forget, apart from the official members, there are many untrained Masters in the Mystical Sect."

Like how she and Ashton Todd were once guided by "masters" outside any formal academy before joining the Taoism Academy.

"If the Black Mist Organization dared to have Elysia Xander use that face on a widely-watched show, they must have been confident it wouldn’t be recognized by Mystical Sect members."

They wouldn’t choose someone from the official Mystical Sect, so the real Lucienne Xander might, like her and Ashton Todd, have been privately taught mysticism by unorthodox masters.

This explained why no one in the Mystical Sect recognized the owner of that face.

After Scarlett’s words, Gregory Xander took out his phone without hesitation,

"I’ll check the Spiritual Affairs APP forum for any leads."

Samuel Chalmers suggested,

"The Security Bureau regularly records people with genuine skills who aren’t part of the Mystical Sect. I’ll have them give us access to those archives."

The list he referred to mostly included "folk artisans" who conducted such trades.

For instance, the fortune-teller they met in Blossom Village,

Or the old charlatan who raised Ashton Todd and ran a fortune-telling stall.

Scarlett Jennings quickly joined the hunt for leads as well.

With this direction identified, they soon focused on a local "Mystic Seer" in Peaceful City.

According to records from the Peaceful City Security Bureau, this Mystic Seer was adept at Spirit Communication and had a twenty-year-old female apprentice.

Current status: missing.
