Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Invitation to Join the Security Bureau
The fist hanging by her side tightened and relaxed, then Scarlett Jennings suddenly chanted a mantra with one hand. As she silently recited the spell in her heart, the spiritual power around her surged outward abruptly.
The next instant, the barrier pressing over her head seed to be swept away, along with the light smoke that had been drifting towards her.
Scarlett Jennings felt her body suddenly beco lighter.
Ignoring any sense of decorum, she stepped forward and plopped down in front of him, her still youthful face showing a bit of seriousness,
“You invite to join the Mystic Regulation Office, but if you don’t even have the authority, then there’s no need for to respond to you!”
Not waiting for the other to speak, she quickly continued,
“Don’t tell I can join after passing your test. Why should I, doing perfectly fine, have to be tested by you? And in what capacity are you testing ?”
Cassian Wolf was at a loss for words after her blunt criticism, and after a mont, he just squinted at her,
“So, you don’t want to know where Magnolia Hearne is?”
“I want to, that’s why I ca to et you according to the agreent.”
Scarlett Jennings said, “But it’s obvious that you’re the one lacking sincerity.”
Cassian Wolf looked at her, then chuckled softly,
“What if I say I do have the authority?”
Hearing this, Scarlett Jennings slightly adjusted her sitting posture, “Then I will consider it.”
Consider, but not necessarily join.
Cassian Wolf: …
This kid has quite a temper.
Exactly like that person.
Scarlett Jennings originally ca to confirm so of her suspicions, but now facing this so-called “Mr. Wen,” she felt that identifying his relationship with her birth mother was no longer important.
Even if there was a relationship, it was the kind she wouldn’t want to acknowledge.
Seeing that there was nothing more useful to ask, Scarlett Jennings stood up to leave, but as she reached the door, she suddenly heard Cassian ask,
“Where did you get the Phoenix Power on that Fire Thunder Talisman?”
Although the Security Bureau hadn’t officially announced her use of the Double Talisman to summon Fire Thunder, Cassian, being from the Mystic Regulation Office, naturally could find out.
Scarlett Jennings looked at him,
“You said earlier that asking for directions has a price. If I tell you, what are you going to give in exchange?”
Cassian Wolf: …
“Forget I asked.”
Scarlett Jennings ca out from Cassian Wolf’s place, quietly letting out a sigh of relief.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, the oppressive feeling this “Mr. Wen” gave her was indeed quite strong.
Outside, she saw Donovan Jennings still standing there, with Liora Gold perched in his palm, exercising.
Seeing Scarlett Jennings erge, Donovan unhesitatingly put away the little paperman from his hand, looking at her with gentle eyes,
“All done?”
Scarlett Jennings nodded, “I was just curious to et him. There’s still a dinner to attend tonight, and I don’t want to waste ti.”
It was a banquet that Donovan had specially prepared.
The ntion of this brought a warm smile to Donovan’s face, “It’s still early, we have ti.”
The two of them talked as they walked out.
Cassian Wolf watched the two figures walking side by side on the monitor and chuckled again,
“A son and a daughter, truly a complete family.”
…
As Scarlett Jennings left the garden, she tossed the idea of “considering” joining the Mystic Regulation Office right out of her mind.
An hour later, it was the beginning of the banquet.
As Donovan had anticipated, with the invitation from the Capital tropolitan representative, all the deans, the competing groups of students, and their teacher evaluators were present.
Additionally, the representative extended invitations to notable figures from Mystical Sect families in Capital tropolitan.
Besides Preston Xander, and the Yates Family who had a Beauty Pill endorsent agreent with Ariel Zimrman, the Snyder Clan also sent soone.
The one from the Snyder Clan was Senior Brother Jingze.
Thinking of Nolan Snyder’s hatred-filled words towards the Snyder Clan in Lloyd Village before, Scarlett Jennings pondered and directly called over Violet Allen to inquire about the gossip.
Violet Allen perked up at the question.
“What you’re asking, I actually know about.”
She said,
“That Nolan Snyder you killed was originally from the Snyder Clan, and supposedly quite talented. But because he was obsessed with studying evil techniques and remained unrepentant after being discovered, he was expelled from the clan along with his spiritual power, just like Elysia Xander.”
Ashton Todd and a few others gathered over at so point, their eyes widened at the news,
“You previously said that spiritual power sealed can’t be undone? So how is he causing trouble?”
Violet Allen looked innocent, “How would I know, I overheard… That’s what I heard.”
Scarlett Jennings, however, had a vague idea.
“He probably didn’t unseal his spiritual power either.”
After all, having faced Nolan Snyder several tis, it was more like he used the Black Mist rather than spiritual power to manipulate everything.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t know the principle behind the Black Mist, but it didn’t matter.
After all, so of the Black Mist from Nolan Snyder was absorbed into the turtle by the system, she could study it later.
As they chatted, Scarlett Jennings asked about the surna of Nolan Snyder, because Nolan Snyder had indeed once acknowledged his surna was Snyder.
Violet Allen didn’t know why he carried the surna Snyder but didn’t want to lose her title as the gossip queen with Scarlett, she was about to say sothing to make it up.
Then from behind, a gentle male voice sounded, directly explaining,
“Because those expelled from the family, the Family Head would reclaim their surna, but Nolan Snyder probably wasn’t willing, so he changed his to the single surna Shen.”
Although the writing is different, it sounds like he is still a Snyder Clan person.
The speaker was none other than Senior Brother Jingze, hearing them discuss Snyder Clan matters, he remained calm and graciously explained.
As Scarlett Jennings listened to his words, a similar situation quickly flashed through her mind, just as she was about to ask more, Senior Brother Jingze turned to her,
“Actually, you could ask about these things directly. It’s not really a secret, and I have sothing to discuss with you.”
Scarlett Jennings was puzzled, “Sothing to discuss?”
“Yes.”
Senior Brother Jingze said, “Not only am I here representing the Snyder Clan today, but also on behalf of the Security Bureau. The Capital Security Bureau intends to recruit you in advance; are you interested?”
It’s said to be an early recruitnt because students from the Taoism Academy, upon graduation, apart from those assigned to Taoist Temples, a batch of outstanding students is recruited into the Security Bureau.
Getting into the Security Bureau is also a goal for many Academy students.
Senior Brother Jingze assud Scarlett Jennings would be the sa.
People from Capital tropolitan had already witnessed the power of Scarlett’s Fire Thunder, naturally unwilling to let go of such promising talent.
With her abilities, she could actually graduate early.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t expect Senior Brother Jingze to bring this up, and Violet Allen was also surprised. Not waiting for Scarlett to speak, she hurriedly said,
“Hold on! Scarlett is still a freshman, it’s too soon to join the Security Bureau.”
Turning her tone, she continued,
“Scarlett should be enjoying campus life. Our North City’s dean said they’d like to invite Scarlett to transfer to our place!”
Scarlett Jennings: ???
