The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 672

Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Just Admit You Want to Cover for It

The firefighters on site, several of them recognized Scarlett Jennings and vaguely heard of the Security Bureau.

At this moment, they were somewhat uncertain.

However, seeing Landon Lester on the ground barely holding on, and coupled with the fact that their captain might have been bitten, the group swiftly took people to the vehicle.

After confirming no one else was injured in the house, they hurriedly took the injured Landon Lester to the hospital.

Upon examination, it was found that Landon Lester had been bitten by at least six snakes, four of which were venomous. Fortunately, they were relatively common venomous snakes, and the hospital had the antivenom.

However, the fire captain who protected Landon Lester at the time, even though covered with over a dozen snakes, had not a single wound on him.

Other firefighters who handled the snakes also weren’t bitten.

At this point, no matter how unbelievable it seemed, everyone could only believe that these snakes were specifically targeting Landon Lester.

For a moment, people’s eyes towards Landon Lester carried a subtle shift.

Snakes, though dangerous, usually don’t attack unless provoked. For so many snakes to come seeking vengeance, Landon Lester must have secretly committed some major sin.

But this had nothing to do with them.

On the other side, due to the significant commotion caused by the snake swarm attacking the villa and Scarlett Jennings invoking the name of the Security Bureau, soon people from the Sea City Security Branch arrived.

It was the familiar face of Victor Quintero who came.

Seeing the two serpent demons in the villa, he felt a headache, for their Security Bureau was most troubled by dealing with the Mystic Regulation Office.

"Landon Lester has a cause-and-effect relationship with you. Within a reasonable range, you can retaliate against him, but your intent to kill and even injure the innocent violates regulations, therefore, we will detain you and later hand you over to the Mystic Regulation Office for processing."

Victor Quintero was also involved in the interrogation of Landon Lester, so he naturally knew the cause-and-effect relationship between Landon Lester and the Floral Serpent.

The Floral Serpent, which is Elara Spencer, glanced at the Snake Egg in Scarlett Jennings’ hand. Even though the Fetal Soul within the Snake Egg had gathered somewhat, it hadn’t fully revived. She was reluctant to leave.

Rose Spencer, hearing about taking away his wife, immediately stepped forward with reddened eyes and anxiously said,

"No, it was me who summoned those snake swarms. If you’re going to arrest, arrest me, not Elara! She’s still injured."

While saying this, he simultaneously felt heartache and sniffled,

"Elara was finally... hissing... rescued, don’t, don’t detain her anymore, wuwu..."

Elara Spencer initially felt some reluctance, but upon seeing Rose Spencer crying again, couldn’t help but shout at him,

"Stop crying! You’re driving me crazy! Detention won’t kill me!

You’re crying every day, how can I entrust Snake Treasure to you?!"

Rose Spencer’s eyes watered again upon her yelling, but he didn’t cry out loud anymore.

Scarlett Jennings looked at the two snake demons in front of her and silently sighed before stepping forward to say to Victor Quintero,

"The Floral Serpent only brought the snake swarm out of anger for the loss of the Snake Egg’s presence, seeking an explanation, yet neither she nor the snake swarm injured anyone.

As for Landon Lester, although bitten, the snakes that bit him weren’t fatally venomous, so it doesn’t count as murder."

She paused, glanced at the Floral Serpent, and then expressed her opinion,

"My suggestion is to have her directly turned over to the Mystic Regulation Office for sentencing."

Victor Quintero: ...

He looked at Scarlett Jennings seriously, pausing before speaking,

"If I recall correctly, the demons of the Sea City Demon Management Branch just escorted the Demon Bone to the Capital Metropolitan yesterday, didn’t they?"

Scarlett Jennings smiled slightly, "Although I’m not from the branch, I am with the Mystic Regulation Authority."

Implying she could also represent the Mystic Regulation Office to handle the Floral Serpent.

Victor Quintero remained silent again,

"Just admit you want to cover for her."

Even though feeling somewhat averse inside, verbally she agreed swiftly, "Alright." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Landon Lester opened his eyes, abruptly rolling up his sleeve, and in the instant he saw his right arm, his whole face turned white with rage and fright, an uncontrollable scream erupted from his throat,

"Ahhh!!"

He saw on his right arm, where a snake had bitten him, the original swelling had subsided, but a layer of blackish-green snake scales had grown at the bite center!

The itching sensation he felt was exactly because of these snake scales.

As if recalling something terrifying, Landon Lester hastily stripped himself clean, seeing that on his body, the six wounds from snake bites had all grown patches of snake scales.

Especially the spot bitten on his shoulder; the scales even crept up to his neck.

With a face full of fear, Landon Lester reached to scratch, but the scales seemed to be embedded in his flesh, painfully ripping flesh when pried off, leaving a gory mess.

In that instant, he seemed to recall the snakes he had skinned alive.

The fear in his eyes deepened, simultaneously realizing,

It was those snakes.

Those snakes... have come for revenge!

Meanwhile, at a certain rental house in Sea City.

The lonely computer screen flickered slightly, showing the latest Chapter —

[... losing the Snake Egg and the love of its life, the small floral serpent furiously summoned the snake swarm to attack the tycoon’s home.

The tycoon looked on fearfully at the scene before him, a not-so-conspicuous small floral serpent leading hundreds or even thousands of snakes.

They encircled him entirely, the floral serpent’s snake eyes filled with coldness and fury.

Accompanied by the hissing from its mouth, the snake swarm suddenly responded, rushing towards him.

Ultimately, the tycoon, screaming, was engulfed by the snake swarm...]
