Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Lifespan Halved, No Fortune
Scarlett Jennings naturally knew it wasn’t appropriate, wasn’t she discussing it with him in advance?
"So I’m asking you, when would be more appropriate?"
After speaking, she was worried he might misunderstand that she didn’t want to bind with him, so she added, "Whatever you decide, I’m fine with it."
The originally cold gaze of Samuel Chalmers inexplicably warmed a bit at her words,
"Then... we’ll talk about it in a year."
Scarlett Jennings automatically ignored the meaning of "we’ll talk about it" and nodded decisively,
"Okay, in a year then."
...
In the suburban bungalow, Azura Loomis looked at the overwhelming news about Scarlett Jennings online.
Refreshing the page, netizens were discussing Scarlett Jennings saving people in the Ghost Realm.
Refresh again, netizens were lamenting the end of "Inspiration", especially not wanting to part with Scarlett Jennings.
Refresh once more, netizens were gossiping about Scarlett Jennings, the eldest daughter of the Jennings Family, and the love affair with the CEO of the Chalmers Group.
Azura Loomis was so angry that she simply turned off the phone and tossed it aside, pretending she couldn’t see it.
Nearby, Ava Zimmerman saw her actions and asked coldly,
"Did you find everyone I asked you to? The list of all the players who attended that night."
Because last night Azura Loomis said the system might already be bound to another host and most likely one of the players present last night.
Ava Zimmerman wasn’t willing to give up the system, so she planned to have Azura Loomis find the list, so she could check each one individually.
She had to get that system.
Azura Loomis looked at Ava Zimmerman,
"I’ve added about half of the players in that group, but there are still quite a few who left the group last night, I can’t find them for now..."
Ava Zimmerman immediately retorted mercilessly, "Useless."
Azura Loomis felt ashamed and angry, but still restrained her temper to confirm with her,
"You said before, as long as I help you get the system, you’ll help me deal with Scarlett Jennings, is that true?"
Ava Zimmerman glanced at her, then pointed to herself, "I speak what I mean, I never lie."
Azura Loomis was still a bit unsure, "But didn’t you before... torture me because of Scarlett Jennings..."
Azura Loomis really couldn’t understand Ava Zimmerman.
Being ugly was one thing, but having such a strange temper...
Before she said she bullied Scarlett, that’s why she caught her and tortured her to vent, but when she came back last night, her attitude towards Scarlett Jennings seemed to change completely.
Ava Zimmerman’s eyes flashed with resentment hearing Azura Loomis’s words.
Before... was before.
Since Scarlett Jennings and she aren’t the same kind of people, since she betrayed her, she would no longer hold back.
Everyone who betrayed her, who abandoned her, must pay the price.
Just, not yet.
Maybe because she used too much of the Power of Word Spirit, Ava Zimmerman felt her throat condition worsening.
If her throat could no longer produce sound, this gift from the heavens would no longer be usable.
That’s why Ava Zimmerman was so anxious to find Azura Loomis’s system.
If she could find the system and successfully bind it, her throat would surely be saved.
This was the only solution Ava Zimmerman could think of right now.
The two were still talking when suddenly there was a knocking sound at the door.
Slow and steady, it seemed inexplicably eerie in the night.
Ava Zimmerman instinctively became cautious, her voice hoarse, asking, "Who is it?"
The person outside didn’t speak, just continued knocking at the same steady rhythm.
Ava Zimmerman glanced at Azura Loomis, who showed a hint of fear in her eyes.
She instinctively shook her head at her.
Who knew who was outside, they couldn’t open the door.
What if it’s a bad person?
Of course, Ava Zimmerman wouldn’t open the door. Although she had the Power of Word Spirit, now was not the time to use it unless absolutely necessary.
She was just about to dial the police.
However, just as she pressed a button, an eerie laugh came from outside, followed by the hoarse voice of an old man,
"Go."
The moment the old man spoke, Ava Zimmerman felt a cold wind at the door, and the next moment, the phone in her hand was somehow snatched away and fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
Azura Loomis let out a cry of surprise, realizing there must be a Ghost involved, quickly saying,
"Ghost! It’s Scarlett Jennings! It must be her! She’s sent people to catch me!"
Ava Zimmerman suspected a Master who could manipulate ghosts had come, and before she had time to think about what to do, she saw the door, originally locked, open from the inside.
Then, the door swung wide, and Ava Zimmerman saw an elder with a shadowy and slightly graying hair standing at the entrance.
Ava Zimmerman didn’t recognize the old man, but she instinctively felt he was dangerous, immediately using the Power of Word Spirit on him.
"You will fall and faint."
As soon as she finished, the old man, who had just stepped into the room, wobbled uncontrollably to one side and fell forward.
The old man showed a look of surprise, while Azura Loomis was pleasantly surprised.
Ava Zimmerman’s power really worked!
However, it was apparent she was happy too soon.
Although the old man fell, his head seemed to be cushioned by an unseen force just as it was about to hit the wall.
The old man also supported himself on his elbow, minimizing the fall’s impact, not as Ava Zimmerman had spoken.
Even Ava Zimmerman was surprised, and before she could react, the old man looked at her with sharp eyes, making Ava Zimmerman feel a chilling sweep through her body, leaving her stiff and voiceless.
Then, the old man unhurriedly climbed up, looked at her, his shadowy eyes showing some interest,
"Looks like you have an interesting ability. Was it you who burned Solomon’s life talisman for my people?"
Azura Loomis initially thought the old man was sent by the Security Bureau to catch her, but when he mentioned Solomon, she froze in surprise before quickly realizing something and looking at the old man with joy,
"It was me, I burned the talisman! Are you the senior of Senior Solomon?!"
Solomon, was the Evil Master who once attempted to change Scarlett Jennings’s fortune but failed and was imprisoned in the Security Bureau.
He had previously used his last strength to help Azura Loomis escape from the Security Bureau.
He also gave her a Talisman Paper and a token, saying as long as she burned the Talisman Paper after leaving, his senior would know, and she could find the senior with the token to be taken care of.
Azura Loomis had already burned the Talisman Paper but hadn’t had a chance to find the senior. She never expected the senior would come directly to her.
The old man glanced at Azura Loomis, somewhat disdainfully,
"Half of your lifespan is gone, and your fortune is all but gone, making you useless."
Compared to her, he was more interested in the girl with the Power of Word Spirit.
"I know you want to deal with the Master named Scarlett Jennings. I can help you. Coincidentally, I have a score to settle with her as well."
The old man was the Evil Master who gathered Resentful Energy with the red Resentful Bone, because Scarlett Jennings destroyed two of his Resentful Bones, he wanted to use the ones in the Ghost Realm to settle this once and for all.
But, instead, she destroyed the Ghost Realm...
This Scarlett Jennings must not remain!
This ugly girl can be used.
"I can also help restore your throat, but the condition is you work for me."
When the old man mentioned this, Ava Zimmerman was first surprised at how he knew her throat issue,
But then she couldn’t help but be tempted, asking hoarsely,
"Can you really help me recover? What do I have to do?"
"Very simple,"
The old man smiled sinisterly, raised his hand, and suddenly pointed to Azura Loomis next to him,
"Trade her throat for yours."
