Meanwhile, in Lionel Strickland’s office, after a brief greeting, Scarlett Jennings straightforwardly stated her purpose of coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing Susan in front of Lionel, she asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take a look at him. Do you remember which Phoenix the Phoenix Feather you got came from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel was slightly incredulous when he heard they had picked up a Phoenix hatchling, but upon closer inspection, the familiar aura was indeed present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand instinctively itched, wanting to reach out and pluck a strand of the child’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could touch him, the child instantly retreated a step back warily, hiding behind Scarlett and looking at him with a defensive expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel awkwardly withdrew his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough, it’s just a habit, nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing his throat, Lionel got back to the topic and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I don’t know which Phoenix the feather came from, but I vaguely remember that at the time, the Phoenix and something else were fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its flames fell from the sky in clusters, like a rain of fire, and among them happened to be a tail feather, which I casually picked up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he took it, he didn’t know how to use it, so he kept it hidden in a small storeroom by his ear and only took it out when it was really cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other reason, the Phoenix Feather is warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett had known about Lionel using the Phoenix Feather as a warm bundle ever since she initially got the feather from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why she decisively exchanged it with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the circumstances of how Lionel acquired the feather, Scarlett realized her visit might have been in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel encountered the Phoenix by chance, and the feather was obtained by coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know the other party, nor could he learn that Phoenix’s origin, and finding Susan’s memory from him might also be unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Scarlett didn’t insist, and even Susan himself didn’t seem to care much about not having a heritage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to leave with the others, Lionel suddenly proposed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, since you’re rarely here, let me treat you to a meal before you go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel had always wanted to treat her and Dashiell to a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase said, to thank someone you can invite them to a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to thank her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for her, he would still be clumsily trying to integrate into the human world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this company, if it weren’t for Scarlett, Donovan and Chase wouldn’t have helped him like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he had money and could treat Scarlett and Dashiell to many delicious meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from that, he also wanted to show her that he had now seamlessly integrated into human society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even order meals by scanning a QR code!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lionel looking at her eagerly, even though the puppy-eyed look contrasted with his large stature, Scarlett’s eyes smiled lightly and she agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a meal, there’s no need to make it a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But before the meal, we have to buy some clothes for him.” Scarlett pointed to Susan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His clothes were too thin and ill-fitting, appearing as if they were picked up from somewhere unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to buying clothes, Dashiell was the most familiar with it. He immediately patted his chest and assured her he would handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mm, it was to make up for teasing the child about the name earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing they were going to buy clothes for the child, Lionel was also very interested and promptly skipped work to join them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, three adults and a child, led by Dashiell, headed straight to his regular spots, a few trendy brand stores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, Lionel also asked about Samuel Chalmers, but Samuel had previously received a call from the Security Bureau and left, so Scarlett didn’t call him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them plunged into the trendy brand store, and an hour later, Susan was transformed by Dashiell from head to toe into a new look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a previously frail little child to a trendy little cool guy at the forefront of fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially because Dashiell dressed the child according to his own tastes, resulting in Susan’s entire outfit looking like a mini version of Dashiell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some might even call it a brotherly outfit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dashiell chuckled as he put his arm around the newly transformed child, “After all, he called me brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among his good friends, Lucas Jennings was the youngest, yet he never called him brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s now a legitimate dragon, so he needs one or two younger peers, or it would be odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lionel looked at the two in almost identical outfits and thought they looked particularly stylish. He glanced at his own outfit, tempted to get a set just like theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett quickly sensed Lionel’s intent and promptly stopped him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your current look is fine, don’t change.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Lionel’s build, more importantly, Scarlett didn’t want to walk down the street with three hyper-spirited lads\u002Funcles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just… too embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Scarlett say his outfit looked good, Lionel immediately abandoned the idea of changing clothes and felt rather happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided he would go easy on Chase when he roughed him up later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was happy, Lionel enthusiastically invited Susan to dine at Kent’s Fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have any heritage and have just undergone human transformation. I’m sure you haven’t had Kent’s Fort. I’ll order for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan didn’t know what Kent’s Fort was, but when he saw Lionel pointing to the storefront across the street, with its bright and lively facade, he blinked, clearly intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he didn’t immediately agree, instead looking to Scarlett.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett didn’t care much about what to eat, seeing the child’s interest, she simply nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s eat at Kent’s Fort then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that decision made, the four of them immediately crossed the pedestrian walkway and were headed towards the store. But from a distance, they saw a man and woman suddenly emerge ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, the girl was quickly trying to run away but was caught by the man who had chased her and grabbed her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the astonished gaze of the surrounding pedestrians, the man held the girl’s hair in one hand and forcefully slapped her face with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Break up?! Are you trying to break up?! Are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl screamed in pain, powerless to resist, and could only beg bitterly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was wrong, please don’t hit me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wouldn’t listen, furiously hitting and kicking the girl, a scene that angered the surrounding pedestrians and prompted them to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, just as they approached, the man suddenly pinned the girl’s neck and reached into his pocket for a small knife, angrily shouting at the pedestrians,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is my girlfriend! It’s my business with her! Why are you interfering?! Get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pedestrians saw him pull out a knife, and their attempts to intervene were instantly halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once involved with knives, the nature of the situation changes entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man, could he be a madman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl, pinned by the throat and seeing the knife in the man’s hand, couldn’t hold back her tears and pleaded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t break up, I beg you… please let me go…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up!” the man yelled at the girl. “I like you so much, and you want to break up. Let’s die together today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short distance away, Scarlett and the others, upon seeing the man hitting and kicking the girl, were infuriated, while Dashiell and Lionel were ready to step in. Scarlett began chanting a mantra, ready to stop him, but then they saw him pulling out the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s gaze turned cold, her hand moved, and a ray of Talisman Light suddenly shot toward the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Scarlett’s surprise, at the same time her Talisman Light hit the man, a cluster of flames burst from his head and hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames instantly enveloped the man’s head and hands, even across the distance Scarlett could clearly sense—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames were Susan’s Phoenix Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had made the move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Scarlett heard a quiet mumble in her ear from the child, seemingly talking to himself yet confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s malice.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1369,"2026-06-10T07:18:51.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","37882849b6a1161b59366cc73f191e0252c8166d0a764a47cce46301121cb15b","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1036","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1034",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
