The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 113: Got into Real Metaphysics

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Got into Real Metaphysics

Director Clark led his team into the mansion and saw that the guests and photographers, who had been dispersed in search of people, were now gathered on the second floor of the house.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed ahead, expressions of evident shock on their faces.

Pushing through the crowd to look inside, he saw Scarlett Jennings standing exactly where she had been when the screen went blank. Lying on the floor opposite her was Dashiell Xalvadora, his pale face filled with terror as he clutched his throat, gasping for air.

"How, how is he?"

What Director Clark wanted to ask was, is he still alive?

"He’s fine now," Evander Simpson was the first to speak, his tone carrying a hint of complexity as he looked at Scarlett Jennings.

Before they arrived, or rather, the moment Scarlett Jennings broke through the Mirror Realm and pulled him out, she already captured those five female ghosts along with the Ferocious Fiend hiding in the mansion.

Scarlett Jennings never intended for Dashiell Xalvadora to die at the hands of the five female ghosts.

Although it’s often said that grievances have their originators and debts have their owners.

In fact, even avenging oneself could lead to carrying karmic debts.

Those five girls suffered a terrible fate, but they hadn’t taken any lives themselves. As long as they were guided into reincarnation, they could smoothly be reborn.

However, if they killed Dashiell Xalvadora now, they would be stained with blood debts, facing punishment, and even if they reincarnated smoothly, it would affect their fortune in the next life.

It’s not worth it.

Better to hand him over to legal justice.

Even if not sentenced to death, being possessed by the Ferocious Fiend and entangled with karmic debts would ensure he had a miserable life, even in prison.

"What... what exactly happened here?"

Director Clark looked at Scarlett Jennings, still in disbelief. "Dashiell Xalvadora, he, he really is..."

A murderer?

Scarlett Jennings knew what he was implying, nodded at him, and added, "We’d better call the police now."

The staff stood dumbfounded, unable to believe that one of the guests invited by the production team was a hidden murderer.

A serial killer, no less!

This was too terrifying!

This person used to be an idol, who would have thought someone with that kind of face would commit crimes.

Oh, wait, Master Jennings mentioned, his face seemed to be surgically modified.

Everyone silently changed how they addressed Scarlett Jennings in their hearts, feeling it was warranted.

Even without seeing her in action firsthand.

But this particular Scarlet, was clearly extraordinary.

In comparison, Quincy Zimmerman’s reaction was relatively calm. Seeing a staff member taking out a phone to call the police, Quincy Zimmerman spoke up,

"There’s no need, the police have already been in contact with me, and a team is on the way."

He spoke while looking at Scarlett Jennings with admiration and helplessness.

Admiration for her genuine talent, but helplessness because the show’s first day of broadcast had caused such a major incident, even capturing a serial killer.

This time, even with Sebastian Carew involved, the "Inspiration" program might be entirely doomed.

Everyone present had various thoughts, except for the instigator, Scarlett Jennings, who maintained a natural demeanor.

Before long, officers from the special task force arrived, and the first thing they did was take the still slightly shell-shocked Dashiell Xalvadora away.

As for Scarlett Jennings, who revealed everything, the police had to take her with them to give a statement.

"Miss Jennings, regarding Dashiell Xalvadora’s murders, we need to trouble you to come back with us to give a statement."

Daniel Wright, the leader of the special task force, couldn’t help but size up the barely eighteen-year-old girl in front of him.

Seeing the modest manner of the person before him, who would have thought that the person who coldly pointed out the murderer in the recording was her.

As for her mention of things like appearances and Ghost Spirits, he didn’t believe it.

Rather than those mystical notions, Daniel Wright leaned towards the idea that she learned some form of psychological hypnosis...

Based on his many years of investigative experience, Scarlett Jennings had likely accidentally discovered Dashiell Xalvadora’s true identity, or perhaps she was good friends with one of the victims and, upon learning of her friend’s death, decided to take revenge. So she took advantage of the variety show to get close to Dashiell Xalvadora and used hypnosis to reveal his true nature in front of everyone...

Daniel Wright thought his guess wasn’t far off and looked at Scarlett Jennings with some reproach.

Reproach for not choosing to contact the police when she had the lead, instead of facing such a dangerous criminal alone.

If something went wrong, she might have lost her life.

Daniel Wright wanted to educate her.

Even seeking personal revenge should involve trusting the police to find evidence of the criminal’s crimes, not taking risks on your own...

Daniel Wright was contemplating how to phrase his words, ensuring not too harshly to scare the young girl, but not too lightly to prevent her from underestimating the danger.

Just as he was ready to speak, from across, Scarlett Jennings began again.

"Officer Wright, before going back to give a statement, I would like the police to help dig up a body in this mansion."

The emotions Daniel Wright had been stewing dissipated as soon as he heard her words, a furrow appearing on his brow.

Director Clark, the guests, and all the staff widened their eyes and looked at Scarlett Jennings.

This mansion...

Had a body?!

Could this really be a Shadow House?!

Evander Simpson was the calmest of everyone, quickly asking upon hearing her speak, "Do you know where the body is buried?"

The crowd, hearing this, turned en masse to look at Evander Simpson with evident astonishment in their eyes,

"You knew there was a body in this mansion too?!"

Director Clark was unsure whether to go insane or be excited at this point.

After all, part of his reason for taking this variety show was to explore the existence of spirituality, so he sought settings known for the supernatural.

Who could have guessed that in the first episode, he would stumble upon the real thing?

Evander Simpson’s expression was serious, "I mentioned earlier, this house’s layout is similar to a Shadow House. Since it’s a Shadow House, there should be a grave owner."

Just that he hadn’t discovered where the grave owner might be buried.

Evander Simpson looked at Scarlett Jennings again, his gaze held more respect.

Though he had sensed they were kindred spirits before, he hadn’t expected her to have such strong abilities.

Stronger than him.

Evander Simpson felt that taking this program to gain experience was the right choice.

On the other side, Daniel Wright, hearing both Scarlett Jennings and another guest speak confidently about a body in the mansion, didn’t take it lightly. He made a call back to have another team come over, then asked Scarlett Jennings,

"Do you know approximately where the body is?"

Scarlett Jennings pursed her lips, led the group downstairs, then pointed to a spot beside the stairs, roughly at the mansion’s center,

"It should be here."

Daniel Wright assumed she’d refer to the yard or somewhere around the mansion, but it was underground, right in the mansion’s center?

He looked down at the beautifully tiled marble floor.

This floor... requires a power drill to break it open, doesn’t it?
