It was clear she had long been aware of his midnight departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers stood silent for a moment, then continued upstairs to her side, asking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I wake you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings shook her head, pointing to her shoulder, where Liora Gold was sitting with her head tilted, looking slightly innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings said, \"She sensed her companion sneaking out in the middle of the night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers turned his head slightly, his dark eyes gazing at Araminta Gold clinging to his shoulder, who was insistent on following him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Araminta Gold, seeing his look, covered her face and quickly dove into the pocket of his coat, refusing to come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked at Samuel Chalmers and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the matter you’re handling troublesome?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not particularly troublesome.\" Samuel Chalmers thought for a moment, then said, \"Just a bit cunning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings stared at him intently, her eyes clear, but she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers ended up telling her about the Dreamy Tapirus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the part where a piece of his dream had once been devoured by the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because without this explanation, it would be difficult to justify why he bypassed the Mystic Regulation Office to pursue the Dreamy Tapirus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings, hearing his rare honesty, didn’t beat around the bush either, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You help me find the person whose face was changed by Elysia Xander, and I will accompany you to find the Dreamy Tapirus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Samuel Chalmers’s refusal, she declared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, I am a member of the Mystic Regulation Office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of those times when having multiple roles had its advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had agreed to help find a Monkey Demon when Ashton Todd secretly approached her, so there was no reason she wouldn’t assist her own fiancé.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers anticipated her reaction when he brought it up, so he didn’t argue further and nodded, \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fell upon Scarlett Jennings’s pajamas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was winter and the villa had the heating on, her nightwear seemed a bit thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of continuing the conversation, he led her back to her room to get some more sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t inform Gregory Xander and Kingston Jennings about the Dreamy Tapirus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next day, the group didn’t have much luck finding leads on the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that Elysia Xander participated in a popular show with that girl’s face, there should have been a few people who recognized it online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during the trip, Scarlett Jennings specifically searched the internet for information and found no \"old acquaintances\" acknowledging that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And tracing Elysia Xander’s actions after arriving in Peaceful City, they couldn’t determine if choosing that face was random or premeditated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Scarlett Jennings troubled by their lack of progress, Kingston Jennings, who had been mostly quiet, suddenly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Perhaps I can give it a try.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his aunt let him accompany them, he should contribute in some way, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Kingston Jennings didn’t have any skills in searching for people, he possessed the Power of Word Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he needed to say was, \"You will find the person you seek.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And maybe clues would miraculously appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Samuel Chalmers and Gregory Xander were aware of Kingston Jennings’s abilities, but still looked at him with slight curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings seemed hardly surprised, turning to Kingston Jennings and saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kingston, my mother didn’t bring you along to use your Power of Word Spirit for such matters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Magnolia Hearne hadn’t explicitly stated so, Scarlett was sure she wouldn’t have such an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that every use of Kingston’s Word Spirit depletes his lifespan, neither she nor any member of the Jennings Family would ask him to use it lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they couldn’t find the girl affected by the Face Changing Technique, as long as Elysia Xander had ulterior motives, she would eventually expose her scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try not to have such thoughts in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings said, \"You’re not a member of the Mystical Sect, so you’re not obligated. Just stay with us on this trip...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halfway through her words, her eyes suddenly lit up as if a thought struck her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers directly asked, \"What did you think of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett quickly shared her idea with the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all our previous suppositions were correct, why would Elysia Xander use the Face Changing Technique? Is it merely to remain unrecognized?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander shook his head and firmly replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With her personality, living under someone else’s face like a mouse would destroy her dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since she’s backed by the Black Mist Organization, it might be their requirement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander analyzed based on his understanding of Elysia Xander but neglected a point Scarlett hadn’t considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aside from that reason, it might be for spiritual power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I observed the spiritual power she wielded when fighting Sophie Harper, which was different and even weaker than her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We speculated that the Black Mist Organization used a unique method to restore her sealed spiritual power, but what if that method doesn’t unseal her power, but allows her to steal others’ spiritual power just like she steals appearances?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t know the exact methods employed by the Black Mist Organization, if Elysia Xander aimed to regain spiritual abilities, this action seemed rational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gregory Xander quickly deduced the connection between the technique and the Face Changing Technique,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean the person whose appearance was taken might also be from our Mystical Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, the search range becomes much narrower!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings cautioned Gregory Xander, saying, \"Don’t forget, apart from the official members, there are many untrained Masters in the Mystical Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like how she and Ashton Todd were once guided by \"masters\" outside any formal academy before joining the Taoism Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Black Mist Organization dared to have Elysia Xander use that face on a widely-watched show, they must have been confident it wouldn’t be recognized by Mystical Sect members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t choose someone from the official Mystical Sect, so the real Lucienne Xander might, like her and Ashton Todd, have been privately taught mysticism by unorthodox masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explained why no one in the Mystical Sect recognized the owner of that face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Scarlett’s words, Gregory Xander took out his phone without hesitation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll check the Spiritual Affairs APP forum for any leads.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers suggested,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Security Bureau regularly records people with genuine skills who aren’t part of the Mystical Sect. I’ll have them give us access to those archives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The list he referred to mostly included \"folk artisans\" who conducted such trades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, the fortune-teller they met in Blossom Village,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or the old charlatan who raised Ashton Todd and ran a fortune-telling stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings quickly joined the hunt for leads as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this direction identified, they soon focused on a local \"Mystic Seer\" in Peaceful City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to records from the Peaceful City Security Bureau, this Mystic Seer was adept at Spirit Communication and had a twenty-year-old female apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current status: missing.\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-10T07:18:48.071Z",1,"novelbin.me","c8fe57119f99f6093fb1b01f74bef6b810c9c777da1bfdd4d76e63267f951681","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-760","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-758",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
