Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Had a Fight with My Boyfriend
“What did you say?”
Her breath noticeably faltered, but she quickly regained composure, putting down her phone, her expression more solemn than ever before.
Dragon Vein…
The purpose of the Ghost Fog turned out to be the Dragon Vein.
They were targeting Samuel Chalmers!
Her mind was cluttered with thoughts, and Scarlett Jennings quickly recalled the previous plots of the Ghost Fog.
Whether it was creating the Undying Bone to bring back the ghost plague or the Boundary Breaking in Sea City, Ghost Fog had always been trying to create chaos.
Previously, she thought they created chaos just to gain certain powers.
Like spreading the foul energy of the Undying Bone, or like Sea City’s fortune.
But what if their goals also included Samuel Chalmers?
Sea City’s fortune bleeding, Samuel Chalmers forced to return to his original state, the Dragon Vein officially awakening, all of this… was it also part of their plan?
The Boundary Breaking in Sea City was to awaken the Dragon Vein, and the method to taint with Demon Energy was their other conspiracy prepared for the awakened Dragon Vein.
Ghost Fog, what exactly does this organization want to achieve?
Do they want to destroy the National Protection Dragon Vein?
The more Scarlett thought about it, the uglier her expression became.
Until a hint of Golden Light suddenly flashed before her eyes.
She snapped back to reality, raised her eyes, and found that Samuel Chalmers had somehow appeared in the room.
He glanced at her lightly, and his gaze fell onto her phone with the noticeably shattered screen beside her, yet he said nothing.
Retracting his gaze, he walked straight towards Tai Hei.
Scarlett just stared at him, her apricot eyes full of complexity.
Because of his indifferent look at her, and moreover because he seemed not to care about anything at all.
Samuel Chalmers allowed her to stare as he lifted his hand, gently tapped his long finger on the brow of the young boy, and gestured to him,
“Try to mobilize your demonic power.”
Tai Hei didn’t know who the person in front of him was, but his voice made him instinctively want to obey.
Though he had just woken up and his demonic power was still exhausted, he squeezed out a bit of demonic power.
A black dog tail uncontrollably popped out, a sliver of embarrassment flashed in the young boy’s eyes, but he quickly forced himself to remain calm.
Samuel Chalmers seemed completely unaware, allowing the Golden Light at his fingertips to touch his demonic power.
Scarlett observed this clearly.
She saw him blend his Golden Light into Tai Hei’s demonic power, circling within it, then returning to his aura.
Then, he finally withdrew his hand and said something quite perplexing.
“Even if I’m used for scheming, it doesn’t matter. My Golden Light can purify the world’s filth.”
Scarlett hesitated for a second before faintly realizing he must have been speaking to her.
“You heard everything?”
Having heard Tai Hei talk about Ghost Fog’s purpose just now.
Samuel Chalmers finally turned his gaze to Scarlett, his eyes still calm but indeed explaining to her,
“After sensing the filthy energy, I guessed it must be targeting me.”
He was the National Protection Dragon Vein, carrying Cathay’s millennium fortune.
If he were tainted by filth, Cathay would surely be in trouble.
He wasn’t surprised that someone wanted to plot against him, but he couldn’t let them succeed.
A little filth, he could completely handle.
Originally, this didn’t need to be explained to anyone.
But for some reason, seeing her stubbornly staring at him, in her eyes, frustration with Ghost Fog wanting to harm him and concern for him shone.
Strangely, Samuel Chalmers felt he should say something to reassure her.
But only that one sentence.
Scarlett indeed understood the meaning in his words.
He was telling her he wouldn’t be in trouble.
But this wasn’t enough to ease Scarlett’s mind.
No matter how strong a person is, facing a calculated scheme, they might fall into a trap.
Samuel Chalmers returning to his original state for Sea City’s fortune was the result of their successful scheme.
Scarlett couldn’t remain indifferent, knowing someone wanted to harm him.
No matter if he currently is the Samuel Chalmers she once knew or not, she only considers him as such.
Thinking this, Scarlett suddenly made a decision in her heart.
“From today on, I’m going to stay by your side.”
She knew, although Samuel Chalmers’s Golden Light was strong, he himself was not adept at fighting.
It doesn’t matter, she can fight.
She can protect him.
Samuel Chalmers hearing her words, his dark eyes remained without a ripple, only saying, “No need.”
Scarlett, however, uncharacteristically insisted, “I want to be by your side.”
Samuel Chalmers seemed to furrow his brows slightly, looking at her, his tone suddenly carrying a bit of coolness,
“Scarlett, I’m not the Samuel Chalmers you knew, you can stop pestering me like this.”
He regards her as a nuisance, and such a term inherently carries some impatience.
Even Scarlett, hearing these words, felt something prick her heart, painful, with a hint of grievance.
Just a fleeting moment, she forcefully suppressed it, looking at Samuel Chalmers before her, her apricot eyes still carrying stubbornness.
Samuel Chalmers instinctively averted his gaze, just about to turn away, the sound from Scarlett’s deep yet steady voice suddenly echoed behind him.
“I will pester.”
She spoke as she suddenly strode over to Samuel Chalmers, disregarding the fact that there was still Tai Hei in the room, glaring at the person before her, her voice carrying an unusual trace of anger,
“If you’re assuming his identity, his name, everything about him, then don’t blame me for treating you as him!
If you are him, he would never refuse my request. If you aren’t him, then you have no right to refuse it on his behalf.”
She finished angrily, giving Samuel Chalmers one last glare, leaving behind a sentence,
“So in this matter, what you say doesn’t count, what I say does.”
With that, she turned and left the ward.
Leaving Samuel Chalmers clearly stunned, and Tai Hei distinctly shaken.
Samuel Chalmers watched Scarlett leave, indescribable emotions seemed to spread on his heart’s tip, unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar.
He momentarily forgot to leave, standing for another two seconds until Araminta Gold jumped onto his shoulder, hands on her hips, seemingly angry as well.
Samuel Chalmers suppressed all feelings, gently storing the little paperman on his shoulder back into his pocket but didn’t forget Tai Hei in the room, turning to him, he said,
“The taint in your Demon Energy is removed, those people won’t come for you again, rest and heal at ease.”
After saying this, he strode forward, his body transforming into Golden Light, vanishing from the ward in an instant.
Tai Hei opened his mouth, watching the departing figure, not recovering for a long while, until the door suddenly swung open with a crash, and Barrett Clement, the little bean, flew towards him, quickly pinned under his paw unable to move.
Despite being subdued, Barrett Clement was very happy, “Tai Hei! You’re healed!”
It was only then that Tai Hei realized his demonic power indeed recovered somewhat.
Seemingly because of that man just now?
No time to dwell deeper, Barrett Clement had already escaped from under his paw, turned to pin him down, curiously asking,
“What are you daydreaming about? Where’s Scarlett Jennings?”
He glanced around the room, not seeing Scarlett Jennings.
Seeing Tai Hei’s serious little face, he cleared his throat and said,
“She… had a quarrel with her boyfriend.”
Although young, he was sure he guessed correctly.
Scarlett Jennings and that man were a couple~
