Chapter 727: Chapter 727: The Worst Reunion
The whirlpool in the river channel quickly disappeared.
The Heavenly Thunder seed unwilling, crackling down several more strikes.
In the end, reluctantly dissipating all the thunderclouds.
It was the first ti Jasmine Hamilton faced the Heavenly Dao directly, she could still hold on at first, but only when the thunderclouds dispersed did she finally let out a sigh of relief, her body went limp, and she fell to the ground.
On the entire riverbank, she was left alone, sitting on the blackened scorched earth clearly struck by lightning.
Suddenly, as if rembering sothing, she abruptly looked in another direction.
But she saw that in the direction where Addison had fallen, the other’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
She frowned, but eventually dragged her sowhat weakened body back to the apartnt where Magnolia Hearne had previously been.
As soon as she stepped into the elevator, her body couldn’t help but stagger a step.
Luckily, a pair of hands supported her in ti, she looked up, and it was a familiar human, with a hint of polite concern,
“Miss, are you alright? If it’s low blood sugar, I have so candy here.”
Jasmine Hamilton looked at the candy handed over by the other person, thinking, this human is still as kind as ever…
Jennings Family.
Luca Jennings watched the clouds disperse not far on the horizon, and his stern face showed little emotion.
Uncle Ming the butler walked over, smiling,
“Over in the east part of town, I don’t know what happened, but there was suddenly a dry thunderstorm. However, it was just this once, it shouldn’t affect your flight tomorrow.”
“Hmm.”
The butler glanced at him and then outside, seemingly ntioning casually,
“Speaking of which, the person who used to occasionally sneak around spying on you hasn’t co these past two days. They used to co every few days.”
The butler spoke casually, not expecting a response, knowing that this master of his wasn’t interested in matters outside of work, otherwise, he wouldn’t still be unmarried at this age.
Yet unexpectedly, soon after he finished speaking, he heard him say,
“She has been here.”
His voice was low and deep, his expression as usual stern and serious.
Uncle Ming’s spirits lifted, unable to help but look at Luca Jennings, tentatively asking,
“That girl I’ve seen, she’s quite good-looking, always sneaking around outside isn’t proper. Next ti… should I bring her in to sit?”
And maybe ask her if she’s interested in our President Jiang.
If she is, she should be more proactive. Hiding won’t encourage this one to make the first move.
Luca Jennings didn’t respond for a while. Uncle Ming, thinking he had tacitly agreed, eagerly started preparing to have a word with the security office folks.
Suddenly, he heard Luca Jennings’ voice again from behind, slightly somber.
He said, “No need.”
For so many years, she chose not to appear in front of him, which indicated that she never intended to et him.
Moreover, today as he stood at the window, watching that receding figure, he had a vague premonition.
That person probably wouldn’t co again.
…
Artefact Village.
Samuel Chalrs realized sothing was wrong when the teacup shattered, just about to head out when Stella Gibson ca rushing in from outside, holding a charred doll,
“What do we do? Greta, Greta seems to be in trouble!”
Samuel Chalrs knew that contractors had a special sense among them, just about to inquire further when, in the next second, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
It’s her.
They have returned.
Without a word, Samuel Chalrs long legs moved like the wind, swiftly running towards the direction of the village entrance.
Donovan Jennings, who had been keeping watch in the village, saw the usually calm Samuel Chalrs displaying such a deanor and followed without saying a word.
The other villagers were initially confused, quickly, as if sensing sothing themselves, began heading towards the village entrance.
As the group arrived, from afar they saw at the village entrance, where Scarlett Jennings and her group had previously disappeared, a water whirlpool reappeared.
A tall yet charred man carrying two people, with a turtle hanging on him, stumbled out of the whirlpool a bit awkwardly.
Imdiately after, the whirlpool vanished, and the jade fell to the ground.
Samuel Chalrs in a flash rushed forward, in an instant before anyone else could react, embraced Scarlett Jennings.
Scarlett Jennings in a daze could only see the familiar Golden Light approaching.
Enveloped by the Golden Light, she felt the strength in his arms, instinctively reached out to wrap her arms around him.
She said, “Samuel Chalrs, I’m back.”
After she finished speaking, seemingly too exhausted, she closed her eyes, allowing herself to rest against him, falling into a deep sleep.
Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings were a step slower, just intending to take a closer look at Scarlett’s condition, however, when their gaze swept over another strangely dressed person, their feet couldn’t move.
Luca Jennings stood still in rare loss, staring fixedly at the woman with white hair and a fox tail.
Magnolia Hearne was initially worried about Scarlett being struck by lightning, now she seed to sense sothing, turned her head suddenly eting an extrely familiar face.
That face, she would almost sneak a peek at every few days.
She knew every wrinkle that had settled on his face with the years, and had felt his increasingly composed and cold deanor.
She looked at that person, imagining what he would look like when he aged.
But right now, albeit the sa appearance, the feeling it gave her was completely different.
This person in front of her, was her husband indeed.
And the one beside him, Donovan Jennings, was her child…
Her nose suddenly tingled, instinctively wanting to speak, but quickly realized it wasn’t the ti for a reunion.
“Scarlett! Scarlett was struck by Heavenly Thunder! Let’s take her back for a check-up first!”
Samuel Chalrs had already sensed the lingering Heavenly Thunder aura on Scarlett, his expression turned cold, without hesitation, he carried her horizontally, ignoring the others, swiftly heading towards his temporary ho.
Donovan Jennings and Luca Jennings seeing this, hurriedly followed without caring about anything else.
Stella Gibson although crying over Greta being hurt like this, also worried about Scarlett, could only quickly follow while pulling Greta along.
The village head upon seeing this, carefully picked up the fallen jade entity on the ground and followed along.
Seeing the turtle that had fallen, after so thought, still picked it up to take along.
The villagers looked at each other, but seeing the village head following, they also followed suit.
On the way, soone couldn’t help but whisper,
“Isn’t… there still soone missing? Where’s the little fox?”
“The one from just now wasn’t?”
“No, not that one. I recognize them, it’s clearly Magnolia! I didn’t expect Scarlett brought her back!”
“Then… where’s the little fox who originally went with them?”
An awkward silence fell among the villagers, until after a while, soone finally muttered, “Let’s ask Scarlett after she wakes up.”
Over there, Samuel Chalrs carried her back to the room, ticulously sensed her injuries along the way, and discovered that her injuries were not severe.
Her Amulet had blocked half of the lightning strike for her, the remaining half… due to her awakening her demonic power, had instead absorbed part of the energy.
Now, she was more exhausted due to the rapid consumption brought about by the awakening of her demonic power.
Knowing Scarlett was not seriously hard, Donovan Jennings and Luca Jennings were finally relieved.
It was at that mont, Luca Jennings finally looked again at the person who had been staying by Scarlett’s side since just now.
Rarely, with a hint of uncertainty, asking,
His voice was hoarse, asking her,
“Are you… Logan?”
Magnolia Hearne’s eyes heated up, she was just about to respond.
Suddenly, as if finally recalling her current appearance, like she had been startled, she suddenly reached up to cover her ears, then quickly turned around.
She thought,
This is absolutely the worst scenario she had ever imagined in her reunion scenarios…
