The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Within the Black Mist, I Am the Rule

Elias Quinn’s face looked somewhat grim.

He never expected Scarlett Jennings would actually take him hostage?!

But soon, his lips curled into a cold smile,

"Scarlett Jennings, I used to think you were smart. I never thought you’d do something so foolish."

He tried to turn his head to look at her, "Do you really think I am worth taking hostage?"

Though he is a Heavenly Path Envoy, he has never been important to the Ghost Fog.

What they want is simply the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Scarlett Jennings was clearly aware of this, but she just coldly stared at Elias Quinn,

"So, are you trying to tell me how pathetic it is to be human?"

She watched Elias Quinn clench his jawline suddenly tight, speaking deliberately,

"You work for the Heavenly Dao yet are worthless, you disregard the relatives who raised you, so what is the purpose of your existence?"

Elias Quinn: ...

I suspect you are attacking me personally, but I have no evidence.

Fortunately, Scarlett Jennings did not continue to harp on this topic, but suddenly said,

"However, it seems you still have some value."

Before her, the black mist slowly condensed into a shadow. Not long after, a figure slowly emerged from the black mist.

The newcomer was younger than expected, dressed in a suit, at a glance looking unlike an Evil Master but somewhat like a business elite.

Alongside him appeared Gregory Xander, who had disappeared into the black fog earlier.

Gregory Xander held a sword in one hand, the other maintaining a mantra gesture, visibly stunned upon seeing the surroundings.

Then the suited man spoke warmly, "Your person, returned to you. Can you now return him to me?"

He gestured to Elias Quinn, his demeanor gentle, even polite, but Scarlett Jennings dared not relax at all.

Because the person before her seemed even more dangerous than Addison.

Still, she didn’t easily relent,

"There’s one more person."

Layla Xalvadora.

And the Qilin belonging to Benedict Beast who disappeared with Layla.

The suited man shook his head upon hearing,

"Miss Jennings, one must be fair. You have only one person, so you can, of course, only exchange one person away."

Gregory Xander didn’t hesitate to say, "Then exchange me for Layla!"

Compared to him, Layla and the Dreamy Tapirus within her were far more important.

Her existence is related to the entirety of Sea City.

The suited man shot him a glance, then turned to Scarlett Jennings, suddenly showing interest, "Is this also your intention?"

"No." Scarlett Jennings released Elias Quinn, signaling the completion of the hostage exchange.

Gregory Xander’s expression changed, he was about to speak to stop it, but Scarlett Jennings continued,

"Moreover, even if I agreed, you wouldn’t possibly exchange Layla back, would you?"

The Ghost Fog had sent two teams to the Jennings Family to retrieve Layla and the Dreamy Tapirus; she didn’t believe they would let go easily. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Being able to exchange for Gregory Xander’s safety was enough.

As Scarlett Jennings spoke, she suddenly winked at Gregory Xander.

The next second, she shoved Elias Quinn violently, quickly pulling out two Thunder Talismans.

Among them, one was the last Fire Talisman with Phoenix Aura left in her possession.

Without waiting for the suited man to react, Scarlett Jennings directly used Spiritual Power to activate the talisman.

"Heaven and Earth Fire, Myriad Techniques Burn, Three Divine Lords, and my divine realm. With the talisman as proof, with thunder as the guide. I request the Imperial Decree..."

The spiritual light on the talisman quickly brightened with Scarlett Jennings’ chanting.

Though she chanted quickly, if the suited man wanted to react, he could; yet at this time, he saw she intended to use a killer move for a swift victory but remained at ease.
