Chapter 848: Chapter 848: For the Dragon Vein
When Blackie awoke, there was only Scarlett Jennings in the hospital room.
She sat on the sofa with her back to him, an unfamiliar aura that seemed both human and like a demon made his body tense up instinctively.
Alertly trying to assume a defensive posture, but in the next second, he heard the somewhat proud voice of Barrett Clement coming from the tablet in the woman’s hand.
"Two of them have really developed Spiritual Wisdom, and there are thirty-nine others that can speak their owner’s name. I’ve had your people record all of them!"
Scarlett Jennings smiled lightly and praised him, "Not bad, as expected of you."
As she spoke, as if sensing something, she turned and met Blackie’s deep black eyes.
Due to the video, Barrett Clement also immediately saw the Blackie on the other side, and excitedly filled the entire frame with his face, shouting at him,
"Blackie! Blackie! You’re finally awake! Are you still in pain? I’ll come to see you right away, wait for me, give me an hour, no, half an hour!"
The little kitten kept calling out, but Blackie seemed to be used to it, his deep eyes softened, though his little face was still sporting a cool look,
"Stop making noise, it’s making my injury hurt."
With those words, Barrett Clement successfully quieted down, though he still whimpered about how worried he was for him.
Blackie comforted him for a while, repeatedly assuring him he would wait in the clinic room, only then did Barrett hurriedly hang up the call.
During the wait for Barrett to arrive, Blackie understood that Scarlett Jennings was the one who rescued Barrett and a truckload of cats and dogs. Not only had she made those wrongdoers face punishment, but she also specially arranged for people to handle the aftermath for those released pets.
What Barrett just mentioned was the situation he recorded from communicating with those cats and dogs.
Scarlett Jennings was planning to post on Weibo, urging the owners to take their treasures home.
As for those without owners, the critically ill ones would be handed over to veterinarians, and the remaining ones would be temporarily concentrated for rescue, awaiting adoption.
In just a moment, someone on the other side sent the organized picture information to Scarlett Jennings.
The person responsible for arranging the rescue was Scarlett Jennings’ assistant, who was specifically arranged by Donovan Jennings for her care when she came to Capital Metropolitan.
Mainly assisting Scarlett Jennings with miscellaneous tasks.
Previously, Scarlett was busy studying and rarely needed her, and now given the instructions, the assistant showed high efficiency.
Seeing Scarlett Jennings preparing to post on Weibo, Blackie hesitated and spoke,
"You better not expose yourself."
He spoke, his voice somewhat low, "They will find you..."
The same group that took Barrett and Blackie was in charge of the transaction contacts.
If those people realized Scarlett Jennings was the one who rescued Barrett and all those cats and dogs from the traffickers, they would surely also link her to Blackie’s escape.
At that point, those people would definitely come looking.
Though he sought shelter in the Demon Clan’s territory, he didn’t want to implicate others.
Especially since this person was Barrett’s benefactor.
Listening to Blackie’s words, Scarlett only looked at him, her gaze calm, and asked,
"Who are they?"
Earlier she guessed Blackie might have been a subject of experiments, and now hearing his words, Scarlett was even more certain she was right.
Blackie surely knew what kind of people were behind it.
Blackie knew the person in front of him was from the Mystic Regulation Office, conflicted for a moment, his little face not matching the seriousness expected at his age, he opened his mouth and uttered only two words.
"Ghost Fog."
Scarlett was stunned, hearing the familiar two words, she wasn’t too surprised.
Ghost Fog was the real name of the Black Mist Organization.
Scarlett had always thought they were a group of Evil Masters using strange Black Fog, but she hadn’t considered that Ghost Fog might also involve Evil Demons.
"I don’t know what exactly they do, but besides me, they’ve captured several little demons, injecting strange black mist into their bodies."
He was the smallest among those little demons, and one of the few who successfully absorbed the Black Mist.
But he knew it’s not something good, because of absorbing that strange Black Mist, he occasionally couldn’t control himself and wanted to go berserk.
Yet in their eyes, this was still considered a good performance.
His escape was enabled by several other little demons who were captured along with him.
Though demon power was weak, they would often emphasize in his presence that they were mature demons.
Mature demons had the duty to protect the young.
So they helped him escape, while they stayed behind.
Blackie initially intended to seek someone to rescue them, but nobody believed him, and once he thought he found a demon who could connect him with the Mystic Regulation Office, only to discover the person was also an Evil Demon within Ghost Fog.
Blackie almost got captured again.
Afterward, he wouldn’t dare trust anyone unless he was absolutely sure.
But the one who saved him earlier, the person before him, he knows can be trusted.
He hopes she can have Mystic Regulation Office intervene to rescue those who were taken away, but doesn’t want this person to be singled out by Ghost Fog because of this incident.
After hearing Blackie’s words, Scarlett nodded, comprehending the general situation.
Then she lowered her head, quickly editing the blog post, and clicked send.
Blackie stared at her actions, looking somewhat angry.
This person, why isn’t she listening to him?!
Did he just speak for nothing??
Then Scarlett posted the Weibo, turned to him and said,
"I’ve already dealt with Ghost Fog several times, they already set their sights on me, so it doesn’t matter to have one more instance."
She paused, looking at the young teen before her, and smiled,
"Besides, you might not know, I’m somewhat formidable."
Though she might fall short compared to legitimate Great Demons, she should be able to take on a Ghost Fog Elder without issue.
Hmm, managed to vanquish one.
Blackie looked at her somewhat surprised, after a while, a he seemed somewhat awkwardly hummed softly,
"Just you? A Half-Demon?"
Dealing with a few humans is feasible.
Facing Ghost Fog, he doubts she can manage.
Scarlett didn’t intend to prove anything to him, lowering her head to check Weibo. Since it was rare for her to post, in just two minutes, there were already over ten thousand reshares and comments below.
A quick glance showed most were touched that she even remembered having a Weibo, simultaneously supporting her in helping recover abducted pets and find their owners.
Additionally, Director Clark, Ariel Zimmerman, and Sebastian Carew were quick to share.
Director Clark even commented with several big crying emojis beneath her post.
Since the Boundary Breaking event in Sea City, after Lucienne Xander and Diana Craig had simultaneous incidents, the second season of Inspiration was forced to terminate due to major program disaster and no news of reopening is available to date.
Scarlett scrolled down further, perhaps due to the reshare effect from Sebastian and others, her Weibo was quickly noticed by pet owners.
For Scarlett not only listed the photos and names of pets with owners, but also included the names of their owners, soon someone tracked them online and reached out.
Crying and asking if what’s mentioned is true, immediately intending to come over to retrieve their beloved pet.
Seeing a pet owner recognize their beloved so fast, Scarlett couldn’t help but smile slightly.
Noticing Blackie still staring at her, Scarlett collected her smile slightly, as if thinking of something, asked him again,
"Do you know what Ghost Fog’s purpose is?"
Though she asked like this, Scarlett wasn’t too hopeful, she still didn’t know what Ghost Fog’s antics were for.
But she heard Blackie say,
"I overheard once..."
He said,
"Seems it’s for something with Dragon Veins..."
With a snap, Scarlett’s hand holding the phone suddenly clenched.
The phone screen shattered due to her leaking demonic force, turning her head back to look at him, her almond-shaped eyes instantly cold as ice.
