Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Complaint from the Underworld
An unusual feeling flickered through Scarlett Jennings’s heart, compelling her to sense more carefully.
She finally confird that her perception was not wrong.
Although the mark had weakened, the aura still…
Belonged to Ivan.
Scarlett Jennings frowned slightly.
She wasn’t surprised Ivan could use mystical techniques to conceal his soul’s aura. Although she had never seen him perform, his dealings with various mystical sect’s special magic artifacts and spiritual objects indicated that his powers were definitely not weak.
What intrigued her was why Ivan appeared as Beatrice Fowler’s benefactor in every reincarnation.
If it happened once, it could be a coincidence, but nine tis in a row… it had to be deliberate.
Buddha said that turning back five hundred tis in a past life earns a brushing encounter in this one.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t know if this was based on real data, but it did make sense in a way.
Only two people deeply entwined by karma might reunite in their reincarnated lives.
But even the so-called couples bound by seven lifetis could only et for seven.
Nine lifetis of etings were almost impossible.
Especially since Beatrice Fowler had spent over a hundred years on a delay.
More than coincidence, Scarlett Jennings preferred to believe that Ivan deliberately found Beatrice Fowler in each reincarnation and guided her.
And that’s obviously not sothing a normal person can do.
Not one to make things difficult for herself, once Scarlett discovered a problem, she promptly made a call.
Ivan answered quickly on the other end, his voice lazy,
“Is my ten thousand points ready?”
“You can get your paynt from the Shadow Mountain Ghost King yourself.”
Scarlett Jennings paused, then said, “After all, you and the Solid City King are old acquaintances.”
Her words were suggestive, and Ivan on the other end wasn’t surprised; instead, he chuckled.
“How did you find out? Did you soul search him?”
His tone was casual, showing no embarrassnt at being found out.
Scarlett Jennings was used to his style and simply said,
“I sensed it unintentionally. What’s your relationship with Sebastian Carew?”
“There isn’t one.”
Ivan replied, “However, I did play a role in her fate a thousand years ago, and after that, it was just repaynt.”
Until in this lifeti, through her own efforts, she changed her destiny, clearing all karma between them.
Listening to his words, Scarlett Jennings’s gaze darkened slightly,
“So, you rember the mories of all your reincarnated lives?”
“Is it surprising? Rembering past lives does happen occasionally.”
Scarlett Jennings: …
Occasionally, it does happen.
But no one can rember everything from their past ten lives.
In Ivan’s case, it was clearly a reincarnation bug-like existence.
If he wasn’t a bug in the program, then he was… the engineer who developed the program.
“Who are you?”
Scarlett Jennings asked him bluntly, “Having direct access to Underworld’s authority files — are you one of them?”
Ivan was silent for a mont, then chuckled softly,
“Wanting answers without offering paynt? At the very least, you should trade your Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order.”
Scarlett Jennings: …
He actually coveted her profits.
“Never mind,” Scarlett Jennings said, “The answer to this question isn’t sothing I need to know.”
Between indulging montary curiosity and a Shadow Mountain Ghost King Order, Scarlett Jennings chose the latter.
Ivan snorted lightly,
“Feels good, earning a profit by using my hands?”
“It feels quite nice,”
Scarlett Jennings replied without any guilt, then countered,
“Deliberately raising prices to retaliate against the Shadow Mountain Ghost King, satisfying?”
She was referring to those ten thousand spiritual points.
Normally, Ivan wouldn’t quote such an outrageous price for a job.
After knowing he was the benefactor for Beatrice Fowler, she guessed that at least nine thousand of those points were for revenge.
Indeed, Ivan on the other end didn’t deny it.
“Not bad.”
Ending this inconclusive call, Scarlett Jennings didn’t dwell on it further and turned back to the villa.
After confirming that Sebastian’s soul was intact and normal, she left with the big ghost who almost lost its fight.
anwhile, at the auction house.
Ivan, dressed in a dark blue Tang costu, his slightly long hair casually tied back, was lounging lazily on the sofa.
Until a knocking sound ca from the door, and soon, a tall woman in a cheongsam walked in, her manner graceful, but her tone filled with respect,
“Guild Master, Underworld just sent a warning notice. They said Spiritual Affairs invaded their system and took a volu of the Reincarnation Record. They ask how to handle it?”
“Ignore it,”
Ivan said with caprice, “Let Underworld jump around.”
A hint of helplessness flashed in the woman’s eyes,
“The collaboration between Spiritual Affairs and Underworld just started recently. Aren’t you afraid they’ll unilaterally end the partnership?”
Ivan glanced at her upon hearing this, then slowly said two words,
“He wouldn’t dare.”
Woman: …
“Alright, I’ll reply that there was an accidental glitch in the Spiritual Affairs program.”
…
Scarlett Jennings stayed in the Capital tropolitan for another two days.
During this ti, although there were reports from paparazzi about Scarlett Jennings and Sebastian Carew eting privately, it didn’t cause a big stir.
Instead, later, when Sebastian joined a crew, he suddenly had a twelve-year-old boy with him, not only taking care of him but also showing him around the film base, claiming it was a cousin’s brother.
Later, so fans exposed that this “brother” had appeared among the supporting fans, evidently a fan of Sebastian.
And so, online discussions speculated how Sebastian, knowing the cousin’s kid was his fan, personally took him around, bringing praise for his gentle, patient nature and envy towards the boy. But that’s a story for another ti.
anwhile…
After swearing not to leak Sebastian Carew’s bride look, Violet Allen successfully kept the photo and locked a previous candid undressing photo with two password layers in her private album.
After leaving Sebastian Carew’s villa, Violet Allen felt like she had forgotten sothing.
She thought for a long ti and finally rembered.
“Ah, Lance Carew’s living soul…”
So, she hurried to the hospital.
After Violet Allen left, Lance Carew’s living soul managed to return to his body, though the night’s experiences left him sowhat exhausted.
When Violet Allen arrived, Lance Carew’s parents were in the ward, educating him on safe driving.
Lance Carew was growing impatient listening to them and was about to retort when he suddenly saw Violet Allen at the door.
Imdiately, it was as if a hand clutched his throat, eyes wide in shock.
“You, you…”
Violet Allen raised an eyebrow at him, saying nothing, but her gaze clearly spoke—
Hey, it seems you made it out alive.
It was evident Lance Carew’s parents recognized Violet Allen, and they were sowhat surprised to see her.
Knowing their son’s mood was bad, they feared he might say sothing offensive to this Mystical Sect girl, and hurriedly asked her to sit.
But as she moved closer, Lance Carew suddenly sat upright on the hospital bed, pressing his back firmly against the headboard.
Then, looking at Violet Allen, he forced a smile through his trembling voice, a smile uglier than crying,
“Hello, Sister Violet.”
Mr. and Mrs. Carew: ???
