Chapter 482: Chapter 482: List of Nineteen People
After returning to the Jennings Family, Scarlett Jennings learned one thing.
That is—
Not everything has to be handled by oneself; sotis, it’s necessary to try relying on family.
This is not about showing weakness, but about letting them feel needed.
Scarlett Jennings’ call of “Brother, help ” instantly ignited the passion on Donovan Jennings’ end of the phone.
After hanging up, he imdiately rolled up his sleeves, ready to first catch those who intended to harm Scarlett that night.
His thod of catching those people was simple and direct.
He sat Lucas Jennings down, and the butler tily placed a tablet in front of Lucas.
On the tablet was information about all the players who participated in the ga that day, obtained by Donovan and his team.
Being able to gather information on over a hundred people so quickly naturally involved help from Samuel Chalrs’ side as well.
However, Donovan had already inford Samuel before calling Scarlett.
This ti, he must take the lead.
Scarlett is his sister, and as her brother, he must stand at the forefront; as for boyfriends, they can only be assistants.
Samuel Chalrs didn’t say anything at the ti, only directly packaged and sent the collected information to him.
Donovan didn’t know what happened in the Ghost Realm, nor could he determine which players intended to have Scarlett die there.
But it didn’t matter; he had Lucas.
As one of the players at the scene, Lucas’s role was to recognize those individuals from among the hundred or so players.
Lucas didn’t expect his cousin to act so quickly and imdiately activated his recognition mode.
He had been keeping an eye on those who harbored murderous intent against his sister the previous night and quickly identified most of them. Fearing his recognition might not be comprehensive, Lucas also looped in a few other friends, as well as Alicia Sharp, to go through the list together.
Finally, they handed over a list of nineteen nas to Donovan.
He knew that more than these nineteen were actually instigated at that ti; so might have shifted sides due to Officer Fang’s words or fear of being held accountable by the police later. But since those people chose to stand by his sister, the Jennings Family couldn’t really eliminate them all.
Being able to deal with these crucial nineteen was considered as venting so of his sister’s anger.
Now with the list in hand, Donovan no longer needed Lucas.
Lucas didn’t nag him about how Brother Donovan planned to deal with these people; he trusted his brother’s capabilities.
Only after Donovan left with the rest of the list on the tablet did Lucas dial Alicia Sharp’s number. The mont the call connected, the boy’s voice was filled with excitent,
“Sister Alicia, it’s settled! With Brother Donovan taking action, there’s no way those nineteen can escape!”
Alicia Sharp didn’t doubt Donovan’s capability in the slightest and asked,
“What about the Great Demon Chalrs? This is such a big deal, and as the fiancé, doesn’t he have any say?”
“He wanted to, but my brother wouldn’t let him.”
Lucas paused, then emphatically corrected, “He’s just the boyfriend, not the fiancé yet.”
While the family accepted the matter between his sister and Brother Samuel, there hadn’t been a formal engagent, so he couldn’t be considered a fiancé.
Got to be precise~
Alicia Sharp was puzzled, “But this fiancé status, he confessed it himself.”
When Gregory Xander wanted to support Scarlett, Samuel Chalrs himself said that she was his fiancée.
Alicia Sharp thought the families had already progressed to the engagent stage.
Lucas was also puzzled by her reminder, but, being a minor, he didn’t dwell on such matters, so he casually changed the subject,
“Forget it, never mind that. We have you to thank for today’s exposure; otherwise, netizens wouldn’t know how much grievance my sister suffered! Orange Sister! Thumbs up for you!”
“It’s nothing; your sister is my buddy too~”
Their conversation was unknown to outsiders.
However, Donovan’s retaliation towards those nineteen was swift and relentless.
The first to suffer was the online IP blocker known as “LaoZiBro.”
He, having finished his rant online, was still cursing at those online fools in his little group.
The people in this little group were all players who planned to kill Scarlett Jennings that night in exchange for their own freedom. They left the organizer’s player group at the ti, but secretly ford a small group, thinking they could communicate if sothing happened later.
After all, Scarlett Jennings wasn’t just anyone.
Several mbers whose accounts were exposed in the group were also furious, while the rest who were still safe were a bit worried,
“Aren’t you afraid that your online cursing will co back to haunt you? Didn’t that Scarlett Jennings say she could track down people based on online malice?”
“You believe her boasting? That matter, isn’t it still unwrapped?”
They refer to the online controversy led by Lewis Harper defaming Scarlett Jennings. They only knew that soone was arrested for inciting suicide, not knowing it was the person leading the sar campaign.
“I also don’t think she’s as formidable as everyone says; without other masters helping us last night, we would’ve been screwed.”
“You can’t put it that way, the Ghost Realm did eventually open.”
“Those Masters surely have one or two life-saving Magic Treasures, the kind that can only be used once. At first, she probably kept it hidden, thinking even if everyone stayed in the Ghost Realm, she’d be fine. It’s just that we pushed her too far, so she had to use it.”
“I think your analysis makes sense!”
“Hey! So in a way, we actually saved other people!”
“Exactly! If it weren’t for us pressing her, would she have taken out her ace in the hole? Those players only know how to play the good guys. Now they’re helping netizens bully us. What kind of people are they?”
About a dozen people vented furiously in the group, with LaoZiBro being particularly vocal.
He was a university student from a wealthy family, pampered since childhood, doing as he pleased without enduring any hardships.
When netizens scolded him, he couldn’t stand it.
Having finished ranting in the group, he logged onto a smaller account to admire his online handiwork and to see how those netizens were impotently furious.
Suddenly, his door was pushed open with a bang.
His father walked in with a livid expression and upon sighting him, unleashed a fierce slap.
“You bastard! How did I raise such an ungrateful creature! You’ve ruined this ti!”
LaoZiBro was stunned by the slap, and as he reacted, he instantly exploded with rage,
“Why did you hit ?!”
As he was about to pounce, his father slapped him once more, swelling the other side of his face, and then pointed at him, roaring,
“You dare ask why?! Don’t you know what you did online?!
Do you know who Scarlett Jennings is?! Who the Jennings Family is?! Because of you, everything I’ve built over the years is gone!
The Jennings Family has already declared that we must move out of Sea City within three days! You have to leave too and never co back! Are you satisfied?!”
LaoZiBro was baffled by his father’s words, unable to believe it,
“This… how is that possible, on what grounds…”
“On what grounds?! Because she’s a Jennings! Because she has a fiancé with the Chalrs surna! Do you think they can’t uncover your actions online?! How did I end up with such a foolish son?!”
And similar scenes unfolded in the other eighteen households…
