The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 881

Chapter 881: Chapter 881: Scarlett Under Watch

The sudden intra-academic selection caught everyone off guard.

Given the timing of the young Dog Demon being taken away, it inevitably raises suspicions.

Furthermore, it was only during the first round of internal selection that two Imps he had secretly experimented on were taken away ahead of time.

This doesn’t seem like a coincidence.

Though he didn’t know how they discovered it, he was certain that the Mystic Regulation Office had found a way to detect the concealed Demon Energy.

The person’s gaze turned subtly towards Scarlett Jennings.

After several observations, it was finally confirmed.

This Scarlett Jennings is the key figure in this discovery of the contamination, right?

...

Scarlett Jennings was unaware that she was under someone’s watch.

Still, even if she was being watched, it was within her expectations.

Throughout the Mystic Regulation Office, and even within the Security Bureau, only she and Samuel Chalmers could see the contaminated Demon Energy.

When the two acted as observers overseeing two different venues, they anticipated someone behind the scenes noticing them.

And that someone was likely the infiltrator who brought contaminated Demon Energy into the Academy of Mystique for experiments, and who devoured the possibly contaminated body of Cyrus Whitley’s brother.

Their arrangement this time wasn’t just about identifying the Imps that had been contaminated, but also about capturing the mastermind hidden within the academy.

Now they had to see if the adversary would make a slip after observing them expose so many contaminated Demons.

...

The internal selection took up the entire morning, and Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers had already identified nine contaminated Demons.

Among them, there were as many as six Young Demons.

This confirmed their prior suspicion that experiments had a significant impact on juvenile Imps.

During the mid-session break, Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers went ahead to check those Imps identified with issues.

Without any use of demonic power or causing massive emotional upheaval, these Imps appeared normal, whether in terms of Demon Energy or anything else.

The contamination didn’t show, and even Samuel Chalmers using Golden Light couldn’t purify them.

They could only let the Mystic Regulation Office take them away first, and study them to find other ways to cleanse the contamination.

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers were busy here.

Meanwhile, Lucas Jennings was holding a selfie stick, moving back and forth around the venue, looking for people to take photos with.

Despite the morning only featuring Young Demon competitions, Lucas Jennings was amazed at the combat prowess of these little munchkins.

He immediately became a fan of several of them.

He had to get a group photo to post on social media!

"You want to take a photo with me? Why should I let you? Step back, Dog Half-Demon!"

Big Wave, with his hands in his pockets, still carried an air of superiority when he wasn’t acting as a follower.

Jin Gungun couldn’t help but give him a kick from behind, "The boss said not to discriminate against Half-Demons, don’t bully him."

He said, then leaned closer to Lucas Jennings and sniffed carefully,

"You seem to have our boss’s scent on you. What’s your relationship with our boss?"

Lucas Jennings, who pretended to be a Dog Demon all morning, was quite relaxed even when being sniffed and wagged his dog tail with a confident smile,

"Me? I’m your boss’s brother!"

Birth brother!

Related by blood.

Upon hearing this, Big Wave’s ears twitched, his arrogance visibly softened a bit.

"So you’re the new subordinate the boss took in, should have said so earlier."

Lucas Jennings tried to correct, "Not a subordinate, a brother."

Unfortunately, neither Big Wave nor Jin Gungun cared much about such minor details.

Hannah Hearne inadvertently scanned the Demon bumped into by Lucas Jennings.

Rather than being bumped, it was like he appeared there waiting to be collided with, yet before she could examine further, her attention was drawn by Jin Gungun’s sudden scream.

On the other side, as soon as Jin Gungun fell, Big Wave rushed over, caught him, and landed steadily.

Upon seeing the burn marks on Jin Gungun’s hands, Big Wave was instantly incensed, looking at Lucas Jennings,

"What did you do to him?!"

Lucas Jennings was dumbfounded, "I-I didn’t do anything."

He had no idea what just happened!

However, Dashiell seemed to realize something, quickly asked, "The Talisman! Where is the Talisman Scarlett gave you?!"

The little imp’s reaction clearly seemed like being attacked by a Demon Talisman.

Lucas Jennings obviously figured it out too, hurriedly reached into his pocket, only to find the Demon Talisman Scarlett gave him had turned gray.

"Is this, is this the Talisman’s doing?"

Dashiell timely explained, "Scarlett’s Demon Talisman doesn’t harm people actively; it only retaliates under attack."

These words made everyone’s gaze again focus on Jin Gungun held by Big Wave.

"Did you attack him?"

Jin Gungun, on the verge of crying, "I didn’t!"

He was merely hugging his neck, not exerting force, much less attempting to break his neck.

The disturbance was significant; Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers approached hearing it, and upon arriving, just as they were about to ask what happened, Scarlett’s gaze happened upon Lucas Jennings and abruptly stopped.

Scarlett Jennings’s pupils contracted slightly,

"What just happened?!"

She had just left for a brief moment, and Lucas Jennings’s manufactured Demon Energy was now thoroughly contaminated.

Even the entire person appeared to be enveloped in contamination!
