Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: Did Not Attain the Ten-tailed
Luke Hearne’s pupils contracted as he watched his own Soul Bell being crushed. His Demon Body, weakened by the Soul Tree’s absorption of his demonic power, nearly collapsed along with the shattered Soul Bell.
At the mont when his Demon Soul was about to crumble, a strand of black mist suddenly erged from within his Demon Soul.
The black mist was like a black thread, swiftly nding his nearly dissipated Demon Soul.
Simultaneously, the Soul Bell that had been crushed rapidly reassembled and repaired in midair.
The originally bronze Soul Bell now faintly emitted a black hue.
The black Soul Bell flew back to Luke Hearne, quickly concealing the black mist and returning to its original color.
Unnoticed by anyone, the Soul Bell corresponding to Luke Hearne on the Soul Tree faintly darkened. The black color, invisible to the naked eye, gradually spread towards the branches of the Soul Tree…

Sea City, Chalrs Residence.
Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs were staring intently at the young man before them.
The youth was fifteen this year and clearly taller than he was three years ago. Upon seeing Scarlett Jennings, his attitude remained as respectful and polite as always.
“Hello, it’s been a while.”
The young man was Jonah Chalrs, the heir chosen by Samuel Chalrs from a side branch.
When Samuel Chalrs “disappeared,” the Chalrs Family quickly weathered the tumultuous period thanks to Samuel’s prior arrangents and the Jennings Family’s intervention.
Though Jonah Chalrs hadn’t officially taken over the Chalrs Family, he had already started learning and engaging with the group’s affairs with the aid of several professional managers.
Furthermore, in Samuel Chalrs’s absence, Jonah was the other young master of this residence.
Scarlett Jennings hadn’t forgotten this heir. Before choosing him, Samuel had specifically let her et him.
But upon eting again today, Scarlett Jennings found herself filled with unusual thoughts about the youth.
For no other reason than the young man before her bore a striking resemblance to Beckett Chalrs, whose body Samuel once borrowed.
She couldn’t help but glance at Samuel Chalrs; this didn’t seem like a coincidence.
Samuel nodded, confirming her thoughts.
When he initially chose him, he hadn’t recognized Beckett, but after his Divine Soul returned from the past, Samuel realized the connection between Jonah and Beckett.
The interaction of their gazes was lost on Jonah.
Seeing their silence, the youth pondered for a second before selecting a topic that could quickly establish a connection,
“I heard you’re preparing to host a wedding. If possible, let assist in the wedding arrangents. As the acting Family Head of the Chalrs Family, it’s also my responsibility.”
Though young, his words carried an air of premature maturity.
This topic ca too abruptly, catching Scarlett Jennings off guard.
She instinctively looked at Samuel Chalrs.
Hosting a wedding… they indeed ntioned it while at Heavenly Origin, but they had just returned yesterday. Had he already said it?
Samuel Chalrs: …
He indeed ntioned it, but only briefly to the Chalrs Family’s steward as a heads-up to prepare.
Who would have thought the steward would relay it directly to Jonah?
“This matter isn’t urgent.”
Scarlett Jennings said.
Though she had agreed with Samuel Chalrs about the wedding, entrusting a child with the preparations felt a bit odd.
Jonah seed to understand Scarlett Jennings’s concerns, only saying,
“The marriage between the Jennings Family and the Chalrs Family is a big event; preparing a year in advance isn’t hasty.
I know both of you have your own matters to attend to, leave this to . I’ll consult with the Jennings Family to devise the best plan. If you have any requests, feel free to inform .”
Jonah wasn’t trying to show off; this was his responsibility as the acting Family Head, and it was also a challenge he set for himself.
Moreover, he hoped to do sothing for Mr. Chalrs.
The youth stood upright, striving to appear mature and reliable. Scarlett Jennings wanted to say sothing more, but Samuel Chalrs had already spoken,
“Then it’s up to you.”
With Samuel Chalrs’s status still in effect within the Chalrs Family, his wedding naturally needed a Chalrs family mber to oversee it. Jonah, personally chosen by him as the heir, was evidently more reliable than other family mbers.
With one decisive word, Samuel entrusted his trust to Jonah.
The youth’s originally serious expression brightened slightly, revealing a hint of youthful joy, though it was quickly concealed, returning to its original state.
Receiving approval, Jonah wanted to seize the opportunity with both present to finalize the arrangents. He knew the Chalrs Family’s steward had secretly prepared for this mont since learning Samuel Chalrs was still around years ago; now it wasn’t sudden.
Just as Jonah was about to roll up his sleeves, Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs simultaneously sensed an aura quickly approaching and enveloping the Chalrs residence.
Both paused, promptly interrupting Jonah, and headed outside the villa.
There they saw a silver-white dragon perched upon the Chalrs’s estate villa.
Its form concealed, ordinary people couldn’t see the dragon’s figure.
However, Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs could clearly see the dragon, coiled like a toy around the villa.
With a twitch at the corner of her mouth, Scarlett only called out to it,
“Dashiell.”
The Silver Dragon tilted its head, spotting the two, and imdiately spewed out a breath of dragon’s breath, then opened its mouth and wailed,
“You… return to Sea City without calling !”
The dragon’s body circled the villa once before transforming back into human form in front of Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs, though its face was still a bit puffed, clearly upset over being left out.
Why indeed.
Before returning to Sea City, Scarlett Jennings had deliberately picked up Shellback, Liora Gold, and Araminta Gold, even bringing Susan along; but she hadn’t brought him!
He was always thinking about them!
“I didn’t know when you were returning; I was worried every day, unable to do anything! And you co back without telling !”
The ship of friendship has capsized!
Scarlett Jennings listened to his indignant accusation without debating, just silently taking out her phone and turning it on.
“When we returned yesterday, we saw you were still recording the live stream for ‘Inspiration,’ and didn’t want to disturb you.”
On the phone screen, it vividly showed Dashiell gripping a Monkey Demon, beating it up, and then having the demon lead a group of underlings to serve him tea and snacks.
Just from this clip, one couldn’t discern any of the anxiety he claid to have.
Dashiell’s expression briefly showed so guilt upon being exposed, but he quickly said,
“That was all staged! After all, I get paid; I have professional integrity…”
Not wanting her to delve further, Dashiell quickly changed the subject, pretending nothing had happened, asking them,
“So, how was the trip? Did Susan borrow the Divine Soul? I heard Scarlett developed a ten-tail. Is that true? Why do I feel your Divine Soul seems weaker than before?”
Samuel Chalrs was about to explain that Scarlett Jennings’s Divine Soul was damaged during the battle with the Three Ferocious Beasts and hadn’t fully healed, when Scarlett unexpectedly spoke up,
“I didn’t develop ten tails.”
Her words left Samuel Chalrs montarily stunned, prompting him to turn his head abruptly to look at her.
Scarlett Jennings t his gaze, responding softly,
“Back at Heavenly Origin, the Divine Soul did indeed once gain insight into the power of the ten tails, but now that we’re back… I can’t sense it anymore.”
