The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 807

Chapter 807: Chapter 807: He Is the National Protection Dragon Vein

Jennings Family.

Even though it was daytime, the Jennings’ villa was eerily quiet.

Everyone went about their tasks softly, even the youngest, Ismeria Jennings, was quietly following the adults after experiencing such an incident.

She wasn’t clear on exactly what happened, but she knew that Sister Scarlett had been sleeping all this time.

A day had passed since Sea City’s boundary breaking incident, and the government along with the Mystical Sect were sorting out the follow-up matters.

The government was responsible for comforting the citizens and restoring stability, while the Mystical Sect was tasked with investigating and clearing any remnants of the Ghost Fog Organization.

Everyone was methodically busy.

The events that occurred yesterday were also documented on the Spiritual Affairs forum.

They all knew that Scarlett Jennings had slain an elder leading the Ghost Fog this time, removing the boundary breaking technique over Sea City.

As for the lost fortune that managed to return, the statement from the Security Bureau to the public was—

[The National Protection Dragon Vein has acted.]

People within the Mystical Sect, to some extent, have heard about Cathay’s National Protection Dragon Vein, but no one knows exactly where it is or what it looks like.

Only a few know that the National Protection Dragon Vein had transformed long ago, a thousand years ago, and walks among the world.

But more often, it is sleeping.

Only during significant national matters or when public sentiment is shaken does it receive a summons to awaken.

Very few have seen its true form or know its name; they generally refer to it as "that entity."

If it is "that entity," it indeed could have acted to protect Sea City’s fortune.

They rejoice in the dragon vein’s protection, unaware that its awakening heralds the disappearance of someone.

...

Scarlett Jennings seemed to have returned to the time she sat with Samuel Chalmers on Dashiell, overlooking Sea City’s fortune.

Golden light suddenly scattered before her eyes.

Visible, yet unattainable.

Even the mark in her palm faded away along with those golden lights.

She watched as those golden lights scattered across the Nine Provinces.

She wanted to reach out to embrace someone, but her body unexpectedly plummeted swiftly.

The sound of the fierce wind whistled past her ears.

It was cold as it lashed against her body.

She thought she would crash heavily onto the ground.

But unexpectedly, it felt as if something was holding her steadily.

It was like a gust of wind gently lifted her, followed by another gentle and warm breeze, as if a hand was guiding her, taking her to a distant place.

Scarlett Jennings felt herself floating high above, swiftly sweeping over the land with the wind.

Uncertain of her destination, she no longer saw towering skyscrapers below but a series of interconnected mountain ranges.

Those mountains meandered, colorful, bathed in holy golden light under the sun.

As those mountain ranges continuously swept past her eyes, she soared high above and vaguely saw those mountain ranges interconnected with the rivers and lakes, ultimately outlining a giant dragon spanning the Nine Provinces.

Scarlett Jennings’s heart thudded, faintly feeling joy and closeness towards the mountains below.

Suddenly, as the wind blew over the ridges, she fell into the deepest part of the mountains, passed through layers of peaks, shadows of clouds and mist, where she vaguely saw a person lying deep within the mountain range.

Seemingly asleep.

Scarlett Jennings instinctively wanted to look more closely, but suddenly, it felt like an invisible force was dragging her rapidly away.

She abruptly opened her eyes from the dream.

Surrounding her was the aura of a barrier created by her mother.

Beside her bed, a barrier was set up.

Within the barrier, the system turtle, Liora Gold, and Pretty Hamilton were each perched at her bedhead, seemingly intent to surround her.

Almost as soon as she woke, the little ones immediately began to move.

[Scarlett Jennings! You’ve finally woken up!]

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have initially planted the Peach Wood Mark contract between her and Samuel Chalmers.

She wanted to know if he would ever return.

She wanted to know why the mark disappeared.

She wanted... to see him.

Magnolia Hearne looked into Scarlett Jennings’s eyes, knowing that unless she explained clearly, Scarlett would never get over it, and sighed quietly,

"It’s my fault..."

"Sixty years ago, that entity suddenly vanished, and everyone speculated he had fallen into slumber again, even I didn’t expect he would enter reincarnation and become a person."

"Back then, I borrowed Jasmine Hamilton’s body to return to find you, and by chance, discovered Samuel Chalmers was the reincarnated form of that entity, yet he had no memory inheritance of that entity."

"I told you before, that I, as a guardian of the Otherworld, thought I would never return, so I was eager to find you a protector."

"Teaching you mystical techniques to have self-defense ability was one protection, and Samuel Chalmers was the other protection I found for you."

She had always known Samuel Chalmers’s true identity.

So, for Scarlett, she calculated against him.

She forcibly implanted the Peach Wood Mark between them, fabricating the illusion of a destined union, all to bind him to Scarlett.

As long as there was this contractual bond, even if Aaron Hearne and the clan discovered Scarlett’s existence, they had to consider the entity’s presence and wouldn’t dare to easily harm Scarlett.

"Fake..."

Scarlett Jennings didn’t expect to hear such an answer, she murmured, looking at the blankness in her palm, her eyes trembling,

"Because it was fake, he disappeared, and the mark disappeared with him, didn’t it?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Magnolia Hearne looked at her, feeling a bit reluctant, but still gritted her teeth and said,

"The mark disappeared not because he disappeared, but because he awakened."

She said,

"Once the dragon vein awakens and returns to its true form, all contractual powers bestowed upon Samuel Chalmers vanish."

Because the dragon vein absolutely cannot enter into a contract with anyone.
