The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 838

Chapter 838: Chapter 838: She Won Again

Perhaps it was Scarlett Jennings’ overly serious expression that made Dashiell gulp involuntarily.

"Why don’t we think it over again..."

If they use thunder to strike the National Protection Dragon Vein, would the Mystical Sect and the Demon Clan directly expel and ban them from both realms?

Moreover...

Back then, Samuel Chalmers secretly took many bolts of Heavenly Thunder for Scarlett.

If Scarlett were to strike him with thunder again now... Dashiell felt a bit reluctant.

He couldn’t help but think his brother Samuel seemed a bit pitiful.

Maybe they should think of a slightly gentler way.

In the end, Scarlett Jennings was persuaded by Dashiell.

Dashiell transformed back into a Flood Dragon, bringing Scarlett Jennings back to the Capital Metropolitan area.

What they didn’t know was that within the barrier, in the part belonging to the main crown of the ginkgo tree, Samuel Chalmers stood beneath the original ginkgo tree.

Even through the barrier, he could still clearly hear all their conversations outside.

Including what Simon said, and...her words about wanting to use a Thunder Talisman to strike him.

He couldn’t quite describe his feelings, just somehow felt that this was indeed something she could do.

There was something Simon didn’t fully explain.

He did have memories of Scarlett Jennings and himself, but those memories were incomplete.

In fact, all memories of her in his mind were like frames of a black-and-white silent film.

He indeed didn’t have much feeling for this extra set of memories.

But... just as he had met her again recently, a tiny bit of color seemed to finally return to a certain part of the memories about them.

Although just a little, in that black-and-white world, it still appeared extraordinarily bright.

Samuel Chalmers looked again at the ginkgo tree before him.

Observing the colors it displayed in this world, after a long pause, his dark eyes shifted slightly as if he thought of something. Lowering his head, he abruptly looked at his left wrist.

Only to see that what should have been a clean, white wrist was covered with dense black vein-like lines.

Those black veins were visible on the skin, presenting the pattern of thunderstruck lines.

That was... the residual marks of the Heavenly Dao’s thunder tribulation.

Also, the marks from when "he" once protected her from the Heavenly Dao’s thunder tribulation.

He wasn’t entirely sure about "his" feelings when protecting her from the thunder tribulation at the time, but since he had already blocked so many bolts of thunder for her...

If Scarlett Jennings really felt dissatisfied and wanted to try waking "him" up with thunder, Samuel Chalmers thought, he couldn’t say he wouldn’t let her strike once.

...

Simon told Scarlett Jennings to think thoroughly before making a decision.

Scarlett Jennings thought about it for three days.

During that time, neither Samuel Chalmers nor Simon Cassian Wolf appeared.

Scarlett Jennings also didn’t specially go looking for him.

Until the fourth day, she acted as if nothing had happened, going to the Academy of Mystique as she usually did.

Meanwhile, the eleven demons originally waiting for a new member in the Special Demon Squad were waiting impatiently.

They thought a new member had finally arrived.

But after the sparring match, she didn’t come to check in.

She promised to come the next day, but three days passed, and she still hadn’t shown up!

The most hot-headed blue-mirrored youth in the Special Demon Squad grew impatient, "Why hasn’t that Scarlett Jennings come?!"

He looked towards Hannah Hearne, "Did you not take the fight seriously that day, making her think the Special Demon Squad is at such a level?"

Hannah Hearne only gave him a chilly glance,

"Such a level? Want to go another round with me at this level? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to slice you into perfectly even pieces!"

The blue-mirrored youth immediately jumped up, "Bring it on! You think I’m afraid of you?!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The two were about to roll up their sleeves and start a fight.

The others in the classroom seemed used to it; a girl with black-framed glasses sitting in the back row looked at the silent Callum Yuan in the corner and asked,

"You’re familiar with that Scarlett Jennings, do you know what’s up with her?"

Callum Yuan coldly glanced at her, then after a moment, only said one sentence,

"Not familiar."

Someone beside them wanted to argue but before they could speak, Hannah Hearne, who was about to start a fight, suddenly seemed to smell something and stood up sharply.

"Finally here!"

"This is on you, don’t say later we’re bullying a demon."

Besides him, another member from the Special Demon Squad came forward, and after thinking, Callum Yuan stepped up as well.

Three people, three rounds, just like that.

...

Two hours later, the blue-mirrored youth sat amid the cratered and chaotic Trial Grounds, clutching his scorched tail, looking furious.

He glared at Scarlett Jennings, who stood there, wounded and disheveled but unyielding, and couldn’t help but shout angrily,

"Lunatic! You’re a lunatic! You can’t be a half-demon; no half-demon fights like that!"

It was just a spar; was it necessary to fight as if life depended on it?! She even scorched his tail!

This Scarlett Jennings must be genetically mutated!

In three consecutive rounds, he actually lost to her; who would believe it if told?

But Scarlett Jennings ignored him, disregarding the blood on her forehead and her wretched state, she merely asked him,

"Do you concede?"

The blue-mirrored youth instantly jumped up, "You’ve won, alright?! Have it your way!"

With that, he turned and walked back to the spectators; besides him, Callum Yuan and the other participant bore visible injuries.

The group simply watched Scarlett Jennings in the arena.

After a long pause, they stood up, stood respectfully, then slowly made an opening in the middle, addressing her,

"Scarlett Jennings, welcome to the Special Demon Squad."

Scarlett Jennings looked at the opening they made for her, and finally, she slowly released all her strength.

Then, as if drained of energy, she fell straight back, arms and legs sprawled, onto the battered and pitted ground.

Above her, the sky was clear and blue.

Looking at it, Scarlett Jennings slowly smiled.

She had won again.

See, no matter how hard it gets, she always wins.

So, no matter how hard it gets...

She would not give up on Samuel Chalmers.
