Want to go another round with me at this level? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to slice you into perfectly even pieces!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-mirrored youth immediately jumped up, \"Bring it on! You think I’m afraid of you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two were about to roll up their sleeves and start a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others in the classroom seemed used to it; a girl with black-framed glasses sitting in the back row looked at the silent Callum Yuan in the corner and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re familiar with that Scarlett Jennings, do you know what’s up with her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Callum Yuan coldly glanced at her, then after a moment, only said one sentence,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone beside them wanted to argue but before they could speak, Hannah Hearne, who was about to start a fight, suddenly seemed to smell something and stood up sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she said it, she vanished from where she stood in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others in the Special Demon Squad saw this and also left the classroom, shortly after all reappearing at the previous Trial Grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There at the Trial Grounds, Scarlett Jennings stood, clearly waiting for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her, Hannah Hearne was surprisingly a bit happy, but said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong with you?! You promised to come the next day; it’s been three days. Are you looking down on our Special Demon Squad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked at her calmly and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something came up suddenly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what, she didn’t explain but looked at her and the group of Special Demon Squad students behind her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said before to come the next day and find another person for a new match, right? I’m ready, who do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Special Demon Squad, including Hannah Hearne, didn’t expect her to agree so readily; the blue-mirrored youth sneered coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you can come as you please? The Special Demon Squad has its rules. You’re three days late; you’ll have to fight three rounds to be qualified to enter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there was no such rule, but the blue-mirrored youth wanted to intentionally dampen this half-demon imp sprite’s spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, Scarlett Jennings remained unfazed by his purposeful taunts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him, gave it a brief thought, and then nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three rounds, that’s fine too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She came today with the intention of fighting anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these three days, she thought a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About the past between her and Samuel Chalmers, about his gaze when she saw him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also about what Simon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was holding down a suppressed anger, unable to release, not knowing who to vent it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t plan on giving up on Samuel Chalmers; rather, she couldn’t possibly give up on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, before seeing him again, she had to sort herself out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to vent that anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on the other side, the group with the blue-mirrored youth felt a sense of provocation seeing Scarlett Jennings’ response, especially since the target was a half-demon with only a quarter demon blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-mirrored youth sneered first, stepping forward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is on you, don’t say later we’re bullying a demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides him, another member from the Special Demon Squad came forward, and after thinking, Callum Yuan stepped up as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three people, three rounds, just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, the blue-mirrored youth sat amid the cratered and chaotic Trial Grounds, clutching his scorched tail, looking furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glared at Scarlett Jennings, who stood there, wounded and disheveled but unyielding, and couldn’t help but shout angrily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lunatic! You’re a lunatic! You can’t be a half-demon; no half-demon fights like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a spar; was it necessary to fight as if life depended on it?! She even scorched his tail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Scarlett Jennings must be genetically mutated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In three consecutive rounds, he actually lost to her; who would believe it if told?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Scarlett Jennings ignored him, disregarding the blood on her forehead and her wretched state, she merely asked him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you concede?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-mirrored youth instantly jumped up, \"You’ve won, alright?! Have it your way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and walked back to the spectators; besides him, Callum Yuan and the other participant bore visible injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group simply watched Scarlett Jennings in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause, they stood up, stood respectfully, then slowly made an opening in the middle, addressing her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scarlett Jennings, welcome to the Special Demon Squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked at the opening they made for her, and finally, she slowly released all her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if drained of energy, she fell straight back, arms and legs sprawled, onto the battered and pitted ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above her, the sky was clear and blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it, Scarlett Jennings slowly smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had won again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See, no matter how hard it gets, she always wins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no matter how hard it gets...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would not give up on Samuel Chalmers.\u003C\u002Fp>",1435,"2026-06-10T07:18:48.077Z",1,"novelbin.me","f712c7735c6a06623e24541a482e29a6f1d0a36b117410e008dc350c6e24e561","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-841","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-839",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
