Chapter 692: Chapter 692: The Point Is, Being Together

Adam Jennings felt a bit emotional when he first heard about her owner’s experience, but was at a loss for words upon hearing why she impersonated someone else.

Are spirit creatures so capricious these days?

It’s just as willful as the Benedict Jade!

He had no idea what to say about her.

Adam instinctively glanced at Scarlett Jennings, curious about how she would handle this Jade Cabbage.

He knew that Scarlett had joined that Mystic Regulation Office.

It was said that the Mystic Regulation Office was strict in managing these spirit creatures.

Combine that with Scarlett’s indifferent personality.

He thought this Jade Cabbage probably wouldn’t win any favors…

Adam silently mourned for this cabbage.

He saw Scarlett over there, raising her hand to directly remove the chain from the woman.

She looked at the woman, her expression slightly softened, only said,

“Your owner died because of his obsession, but that shouldn’t be your obsession. I’ll let it slide this time.”

Then she personally helped the woman up, and lightly warned,

“But don’t do such things again in the future.”

Adam: ???

It seems Scarlett is only ruthless to her own family?

The woman obviously didn’t expect Scarlett to let her go so easily, looking at her with some uncertainty,

“You’re not going to pursue it?”

Scarlett glanced at her, “Do you want me to pursue it?”

The woman shook her head vigorously, “No, no, no.”

Seeing that Scarlett really let her go, the woman was both elated and moved,

“You really are a good person. Rest assured, I definitely won’t do such things again.”

After saying that, she immediately skipped away.

Adam waited until the person was completely gone before he couldn’t help stepping forward,

“You just let her go like that?”

She impersonated your identity!

When did Scarlett become so generous?

Scarlett didn’t answer his question, instead she looked at the Benedict Jade in his hand,

“Weren’t you here to buy jade material? If you don’t go now, you might not get anything good today.”

Upon hearing this, Adam suddenly remembered the matter, cursed inwardly, and hurried off with the Benedict Jade.

The auction official came forward with a smile.

Although a fake ran off, unexpectedly they found a real one, and naturally hoped for a deep cooperation opportunity with Scarlett.

Unfortunately, Scarlett wasn’t interested in this.

“I don’t plan on releasing new works soon, and I have an agent.”

Scarlett made a name for herself in a short time with few works, not only due to the inherent spirituality of her creations, but largely thanks to Ivan’s recommendation.

Even though her value isn’t significant to him, Scarlett couldn’t forsake Ivan for others.

After all, he’s stingy and holds grudges.

Being on his blacklist is not a good thing.

After dismissing the official, when only she and Samuel Chalmers remained in the room, Samuel finally asked her,

“Are you planning to track that Grace?”

Scarlett looked at him, her gaze obviously saying, ‘How do you know?’

Samuel said,

“I saw you draw a talisman on her when you helped her up.”

Scarlett had a newfound understanding of Samuel’s keen intuition in this area.

However, despite secretly working against the woman, she didn’t intend to ruin today’s rare “date” because of her.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to apply to change our date activity.”

For instance, from shopping to eavesdropping together.

Samuel was silent for a moment upon hearing this, and then suddenly spoke up,

“Or perhaps we got one thing wrong.”

He said,

“The content of the date was never the focus; the focus is… us being together.”

Even the common perception of the dating trifecta was optional in his view.

He didn’t find any thrill in these things.

It’s because of her presence that these things became interesting.

“So, you can do whatever you want.”

His voice had a faint chill, not particularly gentle, yet it slightly tugged at Scarlett’s heartstrings.

“Alright.” She said.

The two weren’t in a hurry to leave but stayed in the reception room.

Scarlett took out her phone, then pulled out another talisman and stuck it to the back of the phone, simultaneously drawing with spiritual power, and shortly, an image appeared on the phone screen.

Samuel raised his eyebrows.

This is… the Image Keeping Talisman used in the academy competition.

Unexpectedly, she not only learned the drawing formation but also learned its usage.

And the image on the phone clearly showed Grace’s perspective.

“Do you think there’s something wrong with that Grace?”

Scarlett nodded,

“She claims she was created after her owner started forging imitations, but the likelihood of a spiritually depleted artist, despite their dedication to art, creating a spiritual jade is negligible,

so I suspect her spirit form must have been achieved through external means.”

Coincidentally, when she used the Spirit Light Chain to bind the woman, she happened to capture a faint trace of aura.

It was the aura of Black Mist.

Recalling the Demon Bone she recently uncovered might also be Black Mist’s handiwork.

Scarlett didn’t think this was a coincidence.

Just uncertain if the person involved is the same one she encountered in Peaceful City earlier.

The two quietly watched the screen as Grace got into a car, which drove back to a place resembling a studio.

The studio was filled haphazardly with jade materials and finished jade pieces.

Scarlett scanned it briefly and found these items somewhat familiar.

As Grace passed through the work area, heading directly to a basement, and saw the jade pieces inside, Scarlett’s almond eyes suddenly turned sharp.

The jade pieces placed in Grace’s basement were all prized jade artifacts from various collections or renowned collectors.

And to her knowledge, these treasures hadn’t been circulated in the market ever since being collected.

Yet Grace had so many treasures on hand, the only explanation was… these were all imitations.

Was it created by her former owner?

Or made by herself?

Just as Scarlett considered this, Grace finally spoke, but called out,

“Mr. Nian.”

Then, a figure slowly emerged from behind the racks filled with imitations from various collections.

The man was dressed in a black suit, approximately thirty, with slightly harsh features, yet Scarlett had never seen him before.

Just as she pondered the relationship between Grace and this man, the man in the Image Keeping Talisman suddenly shifted his fierce gaze from Grace’s face toward the camera.

Seemingly gazing across the void, Scarlett was about to react when the man swiftly made a move.

A mass of black mist surged straight toward the direction of the camera.

The talisman on the phone’s back quickly burned away, simultaneously plunging the phone screen into darkness.

In just one encounter, the Image Keeping Talisman hiding a trace of aura on Grace was discovered.

Judging by his actions, it’s confirmed that the man is also from the Black Mist Organization.

Moreover, someone more powerful than Nolan Snyder.

Then the question arises, why are the Black Mist Organization and Grace colluding?

To pursue the ancient artifacts behind those imitations?

Or… the Spiritual Energy inherent within those ancient artifacts?

As if realizing something, Scarlett’s eyes flashed, she looked at Samuel and suddenly mentioned a name,

“Adam Jennings.”

More precisely, it was the Benedict in Adam’s possession.
