How can the other side still control the black mist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as doubt flashed through Scarlett’s mind, Magnolia Hearne reached out to pull Scarlett behind her, then gently raised her other hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, clusters of flames appeared in the void around them, the flames effectively halting the encroaching black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett looked at Magnolia Hearne in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can she use Mystical Techniques?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, that’s not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These flames resemble Demon Art more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is using demonic power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Scarlett suspected, although the Otherworld lacks Spiritual Energy, demonic power does not disappear entirely like Spiritual Power but is instead heavily suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett hasn’t forgotten that before Magnolia Hearne became a Master, she was of the Demon Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You old geezer! Are you done yet?! I don’t want to fight today, scram!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne glared toward the black mist, speaking in a manner reminiscent of when Scarlett first met her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the other side of the black mist, a red figure walked out gracefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the figure became clear, a somewhat annoyed voice was heard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up! Want to call me an old geezer again?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lively voice drew closer, Scarlett finally saw the person’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman, dubbed an old geezer by Magnolia Hearne, looked about thirty, her red dress strikingly bold and vivid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her eyes carried a frosty chill, her demeanor was purely dangerous,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You killed three of my protectors and trapped me here; you should have known I wouldn’t let you off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, it seemed she just noticed Scarlett’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, she narrowed her eyes to scrutinize, then her eyes lit up slightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I sensed fluctuations from the Otherworld yesterday. It seems my guess was correct. Someone opened the passage to the Otherworld. This young girl must be from there, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne’s gaze turned cold, and without hesitation, she raised her hand and hurled a fireball at the woman,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mind your own business!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s expression darkened as Magnolia Hearne launched an attack without a word. A mass of black energy formed in her hand, chasing after Magnolia’s fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon contact with the fireball, the black energy transformed into numerous black bats, scattering in all directions before swooping toward Scarlett and Magnolia Hearne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne pushed Scarlett behind her, charging toward the bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett watched clusters of sparks gleam as the flame-scorched bats turned to black smoke and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively wanting to assist, she realized she could not use Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she took out the system turtle and asked directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you absorb them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What do you think I am? I can’t absorb anything in the Otherworld! Heavenly Dao has sealed my power too!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursing silently, Scarlett noticed a bat slip through Magnolia Hearne’s defenses and flew directly at her. Without thinking, she swung the system turtle at the bat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black bat was struck by the system turtle and vanished into black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett: ……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It worked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system turtle was unexpectedly used like a brick, momentarily stunned before nearly jumping in indignation after realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Scarlett Jennings!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Scarlett ignored its voice entirely, using the system turtle to smack the bats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the bats came in continuous waves, and seeing Magnolia Hearne slightly waver at the front, Scarlett retrieved her phone and attempted to download an ultrasound band.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maximum volume, play!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Invisible sound waves spread out, and the bats that had been surging close seemed to falter under some attack, dropping and hitting the ground before turning into black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining bats hesitated, huddling together as if fearing to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unexpected outcome left not only Magnolia Hearne but also the Elder across dumbfounded, glaring at Scarlett,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you do?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett calmly raised her phone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the power of science; didn’t you learn this at school?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though truthfully, she was as surprised at its effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew ultrasound would work on bats formed from black mist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of their surprise, Magnolia Hearne reacted swiftly, shooting out with fireballs leading the way like a cannonball, charging straight at the woman and delivering a fierce kick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman reacted in time to block but was still kicked away by Magnolia Hearne, hitting the ground hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist shrouding the alley wavered as if unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system turtle, used just moments ago as a brick and feeling dizzy, suddenly sensed something within the black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to warn Scarlett, it abruptly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why should it help after being smacked around?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the system’s moment of silence, the woman, taking advantage of her unfavorable position, retracted the bats and quickly retreated with the black mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, she disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne’s intention to press the attack was thwarted as the opponent vanished in mist again, prompting an involuntary curse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run again, run again! Always running when you can’t win!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her words, Magnolia Hearne showed no interest in pursuing, turning around, quickly pulling Scarlett out of the alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That old geezer already knows about you. Once she recovers, she’ll definitely come for you to force out the means to the Otherworld.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a hint of gravity in Magnolia Hearne’s voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, we quickly find your two companions. Once found, you must leave the Otherworld at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Scarlett paused, sharply noticing something off in Magnolia Hearne’s words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You? Shouldn’t it be us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne froze, quickly realizing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah right, it’s us. I was in a hurry and misspoke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett remained incredulous,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just misspoke? Are there other things you’re hiding from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s intuition was always sharp, and she scrutinized Magnolia Hearne, not missing any subtle changes on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnolia Hearne looked at her for a while, merely saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s find them first; I’ll tell you everything later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the city outskirts near the elementary school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greta had been standing there motionless for two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that time, he vaguely sensed the direction of Scarlett Jennings’s aura. His instincts told him to find her and regroup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his feet refused to budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Greta detected a familiar scent, raising his eyes and finally seeing the familiar figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl, clad in slightly worn clothes, walked out of the school with her head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the child Greta remembered, she seemed a bit more mature. Although still frail, he wouldn’t mistake her scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s Olivia Xalvadora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, the Olivia Xalvadora of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greta didn’t know what he intended to do, merely following the little girl instinctively, noticing her walking alone with her head lowered, he tilted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl seemed slightly different from the one he used to care for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he saw a chubby kid suddenly rush around the corner and knock the little girl to the ground, gleefully shouting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little orphan! Unwanted little orphan! Lala!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl, after being knocked down, remained sitting and didn’t get up, letting the chubby kid continue to insult her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the scene unfold before him, an inexplicable anger surged within Greta, and in an instant leap, he used Instantaneous Teleportation to block the chubby kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby kid jumped in fright, feeling a shadow suddenly loom over him, looking up to see a tall figure standing before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ghostly pale face devoid of expression, the figure stared coldly at him, eyes harboring a sinister gloom…\u003C\u002Fp>",1306,"2026-06-10T07:18:43.170Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a8d434f65ae6ef86a319d58b146e7cf8ce7a71f8f67edd1c0d38a1c92a300e9","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-722","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-720",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
