The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 633: 633: My Name Is Aaron Hearne
Chapter 633: Chapter 633: My Name Is Aaron Hearne
Scarlett originally didn’t plan to reveal his identity face to face.
Mainly because this guy always acts so infuriatingly.
She just couldn’t help wanting to provoke him a little.
As for how she determined he was that person,
it was mainly because of the last sentence he said that day.
[You will regret it.]
This didn’t sound like something a regular clerk could say.
Especially after he said that, Jasmine Hamilton’s data just coincidentally appeared.
It’s hard not to suspect something.
Of course, Scarlett couldn’t be a hundred percent sure.
Saying it out loud was also meant to test him.
Even if she guessed wrong, it would just be a wrong guess, no harm done.
But clearly, she guessed right.
Cassian Wolf, after a fleeting moment of social death awkwardness, quickly composed himself, pretending to know nothing,
“What is that?”
As he spoke, without waiting for Scarlett to continue, he swiftly stood up and changed the subject,
“Anyway, welcome to the Mystic Regulation Office.”
He suddenly extended his hand to her, looking at her with a profound expression in his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of deeper meaning,
“Allow me to formally introduce myself, I am Aaron Hearne, head of the Mystic Regulation Office.
Also, I am Magnolia Hearne’s… brother.”
Scarlett’s almond eyes suddenly trembled.
This news was apparently more astonishing to her than learning her master was in the Otherworld.
Although she had thought there might be some connection between him and her master before, she hadn’t expected this kind of relationship.
Not knowing what she thought of, Scarlett’s eyes momentarily dimmed, but her face revealed nothing as she stepped forward and lightly shook his hand.
No matter what, everything will wait until she finds her master again.
…
The matter of Scarlett joining the Mystic Regulation Office spread through most of the Mystical Sect in less than half a day.
Especially considering that she had joined the Mystic Regulation Office but still held a dual role at the Security Bureau.
When the news came out, nearly half of the people at the three academies and the Mystical Sect were almost blown away.
It wasn’t just because Scarlett was a freshman, but also because Scarlett… was a human!
Not only a real, genuine human!
But also a Master whom the Demon Clan never wanted to interact with!
“I heard before that the Mystic Regulation Office invited Scarlett, but I didn’t hear about it afterward, so I thought it was fake!”
“Isn’t it said that the Mystic Regulation Office only recruits demons and not humans?!”
“I can confirm it’s true; they did invite her, but Scarlett seemed not to agree at the time.”
“So why did she agree now? Could it be… that the demons at the Mystic Regulation Office coerced her?”
“How can this be acceptable?! Aren’t they bullying us because there’s no one in the Mystical Sect?!”
Compared to the students who regarded Scarlett as a new generation benchmark figure, the mentors at North City College and Capital Academy had different ideas—
If Scarlett can join both the Security Bureau and the Mystic Regulation Office at the same time, could she also serve as a special student/guest lecturer at both academies?
So with efforts from both sides, Scarlett went from initially joining just the Security Bureau to holding positions as a clerk at both the Security Bureau and Mystic Regulation Office, a special student at North City College, and a guest lecturer at Capital Academy.
Although the latter two were just titles, it was already enough to astound the entire Mystical Sect.
After all, holding five different identities simultaneously was unprecedented in the entire Mystical Sect.
No matter how uninterested in Scarlett some people in the Mystical Sect were, it was hard not to feel a different kind of curiosity about her at this moment.
What kind of charm does this Scarlett have???
…
Scarlett, who was being curiously discussed by the entire Mystical Sect, was much calmer than anyone expected.
After confirming her master was in the Otherworld, Scarlett had dragged the turtle system out to interrogate it thoroughly.
At that time, the system was still floating because it had absorbed Cassian Wolf’s Black Mist.
Facing Scarlett’s confrontational attitude, it wasn’t as lacking in confidence as before; it even considered renegotiating with her,
“Bringing a soul over from the Otherworld isn’t something you can do just because you want to. If you want my help, you need to show some sincerity.”
“What kind of sincerity?”
Scarlett rarely asked it with patience.
She saw the turtle system’s eyes swirl around before it let a bit of Black Mist float in front of her,
“You know, I don’t have energy right now. To bring a soul back from the Otherworld, you need to share your Fortune with me.”
This Black Mist may have some energy, but it still preferred the energy brought by Fortune.
If she was willing to bind herself, actively sharing her Fortune, then it could help bring a soul over from the Otherworld.
However, Scarlett needed to find a suitable body to carry the soul, much like what Azura Loomis did to Chase Jennings and the old lady back then.
The system schemed quietly.
Upon hearing the system’s words, Scarlett neither agreed nor disagreed,
“I want to bring back a person from the Otherworld, not just a soul. If I’m willing to share my Fortune, can you do that?”
Scarlett already knew from Aaron Hearne that Magnolia Hearne might have accidentally entered the Otherworld whole.
This was also why she originally could only temporarily sneak back using Jasmine Hamilton’s body.
Scarlett reasoned that since the system could steal a soul from the Otherworld, it might have a way to bring back someone who mistakenly ended up there.
As for the conditions it proposed—
It can make whatever demands it wants, it doesn’t matter; she’s not going to agree.
Scarlett just wanted to extract information from it first.
She believed that with Fortune as a bait, the system would spill at least some truth.
But she didn’t expect that as soon as she spoke, the system directly burst out laughing,
“Bringing a person back from the Otherworld, you’re dreaming, aren’t you?!”
It mocked,
“I thought you were smart usually, yet you could say such a foolish thing, ha!”
However, before it could finish its second laugh, Scarlett slammed its entire turtle form to the floor.
Scarlett, with a cold expression, placed a Peach Wood Sword imbued with Fire Thunder on the system’s turtle back and questioned it with a chilly voice,
“Now, can you speak properly?”
System: …
You’re tough, using a Peach Wood Sword on me!
Once again reluctantly yielding to Scarlett’s coercive pressure, the system this time spoke much more normally.
It even didn’t obscure everything as before and seemed to adopt a “there’s no use hiding” attitude,
“The so-called Otherworld is, to be precise, another parallel dimension of this world.
I don’t know how the person you mentioned mistakenly ended up in the Otherworld, but in the Otherworld, every individual exists independently; two identical people can’t exist in the same world.
So similarly, no one can bring an entire person from another world to this one.”
The system paused, adding, “Unless what you’re referring to isn’t a person at all!”
Scarlett: …
Although she didn’t want to admit it, based on the clues she currently had.
Her master, Magnolia Hearne, indeed might be…
not a person.
