Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Suddenly There’s a System in My Head
Old Lady Jennings couldn’t quite describe how she felt at that mont.
She just thought, this granddaughter truly clashed with her.
Why couldn’t she just quietly walk away and pretend she hadn’t heard anything?
…
Scarlett Jennings didn’t care how the old lady reacted. After saying her piece, she held her little beauty and headed straight for the entryway.
To her, whether the old lady spoke good or ill of her to outsiders had nothing to do with her.
After all, it didn’t affect her in any way.
Scarlett Jennings had co straight from the Chalrs Family’s place.
After a night of fernting, last night’s trending topic had reached a conclusive state by this morning.
At first glance, Scarlett Jennings felt it wasn’t quite right. Her initial agreent with Samuel Chalrs hadn’t included this.
Although she knew it was too late to take down the trending topic now, Scarlett Jennings still asked for Samuel Chalrs’ opinion.
Samuel Chalrs simply asked her in return,
“Is there a difference between being exposed in front of your family and to the entire internet?”
Scarlett Jennings thought there was a huge difference, but before she could say anything, she heard him continue, “I think there’s not much difference.”
Scarlett Jennings found herself at a loss for words to refute him.
After all, Samuel Chalrs had been dragged into the situation to help her in the first place.
Since he had no objections, she felt she had even less ground to stand on.
So, she simply went along with him, saying there was no difference.
Thus, the trending topic online was left as it was.
In fact, that’s all they could do.
Without tily PR the previous night, trying to take down the trending topic the next day would only make it seem more suspicious, like trying to hide sothing.
Scarlett Jennings thought, let’s just leave it.
It’s not a big deal.
Compared to the trending topic issue, Scarlett Jennings was more concerned about the escape of the system.
She felt it was necessary to inform her family about this.
Because this morning, she had received news from Daniel Wright’s side.
Last night, the police and the Security Bureau had jointly handled the missing person cases in the Ghost Realm, and later took stock of the players present that night.
They found that besides the photographer and the five people with Lucas Jennings, Ava Zimrman and another person were non-players who had been unexpectedly pulled into the Ghost Realm.
Daniel Wright, through the footage captured by the photographer within the Ghost Realm, scrutinized every fra and was surprised to find Azura Loomis among the unexpected non-players.
Originally, Azura Loomis had escaped with the help of Old Man Ge, and afterward, her identity information was reported to the Sea City police by the Security Bureau. That’s why Daniel Wright’s side knew of her existence.
Although Azura Loomis had covered her face very well, during a scuffle among players inside the Barrier, her mask was accidentally pulled off, coincidentally captured by the existence-weakening photographer.
Along with previous comparisons of her physique, they basically confird that the person caught on video was indeed the fugitive Azura Loomis.
The Security Bureau is now re-initiating the search for Azura Loomis, and Daniel Wright felt it was necessary to inform Scarlett Jennings about this.
Scarlett Jennings last heard Azura Loomis’ na at Alicia Sharp’s birthday party and never expected Azura Loomis to appear in the Ghost Realm last night.
There were many people at the ti, and Scarlett Jennings’ entire focus was on the Ghost Realm and those Evil Ghosts, so naturally, she didn’t notice.
But Azura Loomis and the confird escaped system appearing in the Ghost Realm simultaneously.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t think this was a coincidence.
“The system might have escaped with residual energy, and Azura Loomis, as a forr host, might have been there for the system last night. It’s even possible that the system has already returned to her.”
Scarlett Jennings gathered the family early in the morning just to discuss this issue.
After all, Azura Loomis and the Jennings Family have deep ties; nobody knows if she’ll act against them again.
“The Evil God System has been heavily damaged, even if it returns to Azura Loomis, it won’t pose a significant threat for the ti being. However, everyone should remain vigilant daily.”
Scarlett Jennings said this as she looked at a tablet in front of her.
On the other end was Chase Jennings, who was still pretending to be hospitalized.
Given that it involved Azura Loomis, Lucas Jennings specifically connected him online.
After all, Chase Jennings had the most involvent in matters concerning Azura Loomis.
He was also the most likely target to be approached again.
On the screen, Chase Jennings was more shocked by the fact that the system might return to them than by the possibility of Azura Loomis seeking them out—
“That system is actually still around?”
The mbers of the Jennings Family, including Scarlett Jennings, keenly noticed the implications in Chase Jennings’ words.
Donovan Jennings was the first to ask him,
“What do you an? You knew about the system still being around?”
Donovan Jennings’ question was direct, leaving Chase Jennings with no ti to co up with a cover story. Facing everyone’s gaze, he could only honestly say,
“Last ti Azura Loomis ca to find , she did ntion the system had escaped…”
He added quickly,
“But I thought she was lying to ! I didn’t believe her at all!”
The Jennings Family mbers watched Chase Jennings on the screen, their expressions a mix of complex emotions and speechlessness.
Even Blaise Jennings, Chase Jennings’ own father, was at a loss,
“So once you returned, you didn’t ntion a word to Scarlett, even if it might have been true?”
How could this son be so indifferent?
Wasn’t the lesson from being trapped by the doll enough??
Chase Jennings, feeling disgraced by his father’s reproach, saw Scarlett Jennings with an expressionless face staring at him, and felt stifled, unable to help defending himself,
“But I had just been hit on the head; not rembering stuff like that…isn’t that normal?”
Chase Jennings felt sowhat wronged.
Old Sir Jennings also didn’t know what to say to this grandson.
They could say he’s learned from his past mistakes because he wasn’t fooled by a few words from Azura Loomis again.
But in terms of sharpness, he sohow managed to forget crucial information.
Donovan Jennings, however, remained relatively calm, keeping a gentle smile on his face and simply said,
“Since you’re already at the hospital, I’ll have the doctors check your brain, just in case, don’t worry.”
Chase Jennings: …
He was dissatisfied. His brain was perfectly fine!
Just as he was about to protest, Lucas Jennings had already ended the video call.
The family eting continued, but there wasn’t much left to discuss.
Scarlett Jennings would continue to search for traces of the system, aiming to bring it and Azura Loomis to light as soon as possible.
Old Sir Jennings thought for a mont and suddenly instructed Donovan Jennings,
“You should directly issue a dark web bounty order to resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
Previously, they hadn’t acted because they believed the Security Bureau could handle it and felt that Azura Loomis wouldn’t pose more than a minor threat.
But now, since she might again threaten the Jennings Family, he was determined not to sit idly by and put all the pressure on Scarlett, his granddaughter.
The Jennings Family might not have the Mystical Sect’s power to assist Scarlett, but they had their own ways of dealing with matters.
Regardless of whether the system had returned to Azura Loomis, she could no longer be retained this ti.
Old Sir Jennings didn’t mind discussing the bounty order in front of everyone and even cast a glance at the old lady next to him at the end.
The old lady’s gaze dimd, but she ultimately said nothing to dissuade.
Amidst the conversation, Uncle Ming suddenly ca over, announcing the arrival of the eldest miss of the Sharp Family.
“Alicia Sharp? What is she here for?” Adam Jennings couldn’t help but wonder.
Lucas Jennings quickly explained,
“It’s surely because my sister saved her last night, so she’s here especially to express her gratitude.”
Upon hearing this, the Jennings Family found no fault with it and had the butler lead her to the side hall first.
When Scarlett Jennings arrived, Alicia Sharp, upon seeing her, was instantly filled with excitent.
“Scarlett, I encountered sothing strange again!”
Before Scarlett Jennings could inquire further, Alicia Sharp leaned over and whispered mysteriously in her ear,
“After leaving the Ghost Realm last night and returning ho… a system suddenly appeared in my head!”
Scarlett Jennings: …
