Chapter 560: Chapter 560: Non-Violent ans, He Can Too
The director standing at the door turned grim upon hearing the commotion inside.
Gregory Xander confird that the Ghost Killing Spell had severely injured the Shadow Ghost and stepped forward to kick the door.
The director’s expression changed; he hurriedly ca forward to stop him, “Master Xander, please… don’t be so violent.”
If the door got damaged, the crew paying for it would be minor trouble; causing a big scene would be hard to resolve.
“I know the people inside, let knock first.”
The director said as he stepped up to knock on the door.
Ariel Zimrman had also heard Delaney Clark’s cries earlier; seeing the director’s reaction now, she guessed he wanted to give the people inside ti to prepare and stared at him incredulously.
The director faced Ariel Zimrman’s gaze but continued to knock, despite the lack of response from inside.
The director spoke again,
“How about we have the hotel manager co to open the door? Just wait a bit…”
Ariel Zimrman showed dissatisfaction upon hearing this and was about to speak when Gregory Xander said, “No need.”
With that, he directly took out a little paperman from his bag.
Since violence was not an option, he would use sothing else.
With his hand gestures, he directed spiritual power towards the little paperman, and the paperman started to move.
Though its movents were a bit stiff, it floated from Gregory Xander’s palm under his command.
The little paperman quickly squeezed through the crack of the door and entered the room. Shortly after, a click was heard, and the door was opened from the inside.
Both the director and Ariel Zimrman were slightly surprised.
You Mystical Sect people can do this?
Ignoring their surprise, Gregory Xander directly entered the room, clearly finding nothing wrong with intruding on soone else’s room.
After all, being from the Mystical Sect, eliminating evil spirits was always the top priority. Knowing the Shadow Ghost was inside, delaying entry could endanger the people within.
As the room opened, Delaney Clark’s incredulous face t them; she glared at the three and sternly rebuked,
“What are you doing?! Who allowed you to co in? I’m calling the police to arrest you!”
Gregory Xander’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Do as you please.”
He then focused on the pale, unconscious man behind her and the shadow beneath him that appeared sowhat weak.
“To use a living person as a curse shield.”
Gregory Xander spoke coldly and stepped forward, pulling out a Yellow Talisman, and slapped it hard onto the man.
At the instant the Yellow Talisman hit, the originally unconscious man suddenly jerked violently, and from his shadow, sothing black seed to bulge, attempting to be forced out.
That was the Shadow Ghost hiding in the man’s shadow.
Seeing the Shadow Ghost mostly squeezed out, yet gripping tightly onto the man’s shadow and squeezing back in.
The unconscious man’s body trembled again, and his face visibly beca even paler.
Gregory Xander frowned at this, pulling out a high-level Spirit Talisman, intending to assert more force to drive out the Shadow Ghost from the man.
However, before he could act, a familiar clear voice ca from the door.
“If you slap that Talisman on, the man’s living soul will be destabilized.”
Gregory Xander’s action halted sharply due to the voice.
The other three in the room quickly turned around, and upon seeing the girl standing at the door, the director couldn’t help but show admiration first,
“You are!”
“Scarlett!”
Ariel Zimrman excitedly rushed towards Scarlett Jennings at the door, hugging her tightly.
“Scarlett, why are you here too?!”
Scarlett Jennings, embraced by Ariel Zimrman, sensed her soul’s state.
Fortunately, even having encountered a ghost, her soul remained steady.
“I saw the ssage you sent in the morning, tried calling but got no response, so I ca to check.”
What Scarlett Jennings didn’t ntion was, worried about anything happening to Ariel, she spent a fortune hiring the Ghost Dad from Beichou Road to use the Ghost Car to bring her here, cutting the travel ti by two-thirds.
Good thing she ca on this journey.
It’s her first ti encountering a Shadow Ghost.
anwhile, Gregory Xander, observing Ariel’s identical actions towards Scarlett, had a brief ambiguous look but quickly returned to normal.
He looked at Scarlett Jennings and simply asked,
“Do you have another way?”
“Let’s try.”
Said Scarlett Jennings, carrying her newly obtained Hundred Objects Box forward, and directly drew out the Peach Wood Sword.
The Thunderstruck Wood, just by looking at it, its concealed power could be sensed.
Scarlett Jennings held the Peach Wood Sword towards the unconscious man on the sofa.
By the side, Delaney Clark finally reacted and rushed forward to block,
“What are you trying to do to my boyfriend?! Stop!”
She reached out to push Scarlett Jennings away, but Scarlett didn’t even glance at her, only said,
“Ariel, help pull her away.”
Following orders, Ariel unhesitatingly hooked Delaney Clark’s neck and forcibly dragged her aside, warning quietly,
“If I find out that the Shadow Ghost was involved with you, I’ll offend the sponsor even to take you down.”
Ariel Zimrman, typically sweet in image, spoke these cold, restrained words, causing Delaney Clark’s eyes to widen in panic, with a flash of guilty conscience, only to retort weakly,
“Wha-what are you saying? What does it have to do with… ?”
“Ha…”
Ariel laughed coldly, guessing correctly.
No matter the “grudges” between the two won, on the other side, Scarlett Jennings pointed her Peach Wood Sword at the shadow beneath the man,
“Will you co out yourself, or do I have to hit you out?”
Saying this, seeing the shadow remain motionless, she decisively raised the sword, and fiercely slashed at the shadow beneath the man.
The Peach Wood Sword carried the thunder aura, specialized in vanquishing ghosts and evil.
Just as the Peach Wood Sword was about to slash the black shadow underneath, the shadow suddenly bulged out massively, soon forming a quick silhouette.
Scarlett Jennings seized the opportunity, striking the shadow repeatedly, instantly, the Shadow Ghost fell to the ground, resembling sowhat the man on the sofa lying on the ground.
Seeing Scarlett Jennings’ Peach Wood Sword turning towards him, the Shadow Ghost’s expression showed slight terror amidst its numb deanor.
“Don’t, kill .”
“Don’t kill him!”
Delaney Clark, previously pulled aside by Ariel, suddenly exclaid upon seeing the Shadow Ghost man drop, breaking free from Ariel and running to block in front of him.
“Don’t kill him; he hasn’t hurt anyone. He’s a good ghost.”
She hastily glanced at Ariel, gritting her teeth,
“He didn’t really want to hurt Ariel; he just listened to and wanted to scare her.”
Ariel Zimrman, having guessed this involved her, felt a surge of anger upon hearing her confession,
“Why are you scaring ?! What did I do to offend you?!”
Strictly speaking, she should be the offended one, alright?!
Suddenly inserted as a second lead, demanding more scenes, stealing her spotlight!
She didn’t say anything yet; this person first sought sothing to scare her?
“You… you always act like sothing goes wrong when we perform scenes together these days, being uncomfortable every ti it’s my scene. The way you target , can I not scare you?!”
Delaney Clark spoke these words feeling a bit aggrieved.
She was only trying to add so scenes, gain so spotlight, and the producers and director agreed, yet she stubbornly refused and fought against it.
Could she not just obediently listen to the sponsors?
Ariel Zimrman nearly exploded with frustration hearing her justifications,
“Just for such trivial matters… you brought a ghost to watch day-to-day to scare ?!”
Scarlett Jennings looked at the flicker in Delaney Clark’s eyes, then at the Shadow Ghost behind her, narrowing her eyes,
“No, you aren’t telling the truth.”
Saying this, she didn’t waste any more words. Raising her hand, a Truth Talisman was directly cast onto Delaney Clark.
