The head of the corridor.
Lucienne Xander looked at the leading actor in front of her, recalling how he had ignored everything to protect her earlier.
She felt a bit agitated.
Although her current spiritual power was weak, she did not expect to lose to a re Big Ghost.
And John Dawn’s previous actions seed to prove she was a weak person needing others’ protection.
She didn’t like it, yet felt a strange touch.
But apparently, he wasn’t trying to protect her at the ti.
Instead, it was the owner of this face she now wore.
Lucienne Xander looked at John Dawn with cold eyes, her face expressionless, she said,
"I don’t rember, please don’t bother ."
With that, she lifted her leg and walked around him to leave.
John Dawn seed sowhat incredulous as he looked at her, opening his mouth to say sothing, but ultimately, he didn’t persist in clinging to her.
Upon reflection,
When he went abroad, she was only thirteen, so not rembering him was normal.
It was he who had always rembered her.
Back then, when he was hospitalized due to heart disease, she would co every day to talk to him, trying to cheer him up as he awaited death from his weakening heart.
Later, her parents died in a car accident.
And he was fortunate to survive with her father’s heart.
She didn’t know that her father’s heart was inside him.
But he rembered.
He also rembered saying back then that he would take care of her on behalf of her parents.
Yet, after returning to the country, he only heard about her being adopted, and later, completely lost contact.
Until he saw her in the guest info provided by the show.
Even though she had changed her surna and na, he recognized her at a glance.
He was sure she was the person he was looking for.
It’s just... she had changed so much.
What had she gone through over the years to beco like this?
John Dawn wasn’t sure, but this ti, he was determined to protect her well.
So, in the subsequent live broadcasts,
Even though John Dawn didn’t openly protect her like before, keen-eyed netizens still noticed sothing special about his seemingly casual actions towards Lucienne Xander.
For example, when Lucienne Xander didn’t want to interact with the audience and often led to awkward silences, John Dawn would be the first to step in to help.
For instance, whenever the conversation reached a certain point, he would always seemingly unintentionally pass the topic to her.
Additionally, every ti he finished speaking, regardless of who he was originally talking to, he would subconsciously look in her direction afterward.
By the end of the day,
fans were overwheld.
Knowing that John Dawn was willing to participate in such a live variety show, fans were almost using magnifying glasses, analyzing every fra of their idol’s footage.
Those most familiar with their idol naturally were the first to notice any unusual behavior from him.
So fans were heartbroken, crying uncontrollably, while others offered blessings.
The first day of the second season premiere of "Inspiration" witnessed the sudden rise of the "Midnight Couple" (Lú Chén CP).
...
When Scarlett Jennings got ho, the internet was already buzzing with detailed analyses of the "Midnight Couple," with a dedicated CP super topic, and Lucienne Xander had gained hundreds of thousands of fans in a single day.
Scarlett Jennings watched the rapidly increasing number of Lucienne Xander’s fans, pondering the true motives behind it.
It’s worth noting that Elysia Xander and Gregory Xander were both repulsed by participating in variety shows to show off mysticism in the past.
Later, Elysia Xander had even sneered at Gregory Xander for accepting an invitation to participate in a show.
Yet now, she had changed her appearance and did sothing she once despised most.
She doubted that this was just for fa.
Whatever was driving her to "bite the bullet" like this must be backed by a larger goal, one that could only be achieved in this way.
What could it be?
While thinking about this, Scarlett Jennings suddenly saw Magnolia Hearne’s head leaning towards her.
Her pretty nose sniffed around Scarlett before suddenly looking at her and saying quietly,
"Did you et with Aaron Hearne? Did he co looking for you again?"
Though phrased as a question, her voice was full of certainty.
Scarlett Jennings knew Magnolia Hearne wasn’t too fond of her interacting with Cassian Wolf, though she didn’t know why, she didn’t hide it from her either.
"I helped the Mystic Regulation Office retrieve the trafficked Monkey Demon, and he helped bring it back to the Capital tropolitan."
Well, they also went together to take down the hideout of those kidnappers.
Recalling the process of taking down the hideout, Scarlett Jennings still found it sowhat incredible.
It was her first ti seeing Cassian Wolf in action since knowing him as a Great Demon.
She had speculated about his identity as a Great Demon and imagined the scene, though it wasn’t dealing with just a few human animal traffickers.
With a wave of his hand, the demonic power surged, yet he didn’t leak even the slightest hint of demon energy.
Though those people were indeed too weak, the fact is that even without using demonic power, they could have been easily handled, but from Scarlett’s perspective, she witnessed his precise control over demonic power.
That’s sothing she still couldn’t achieve.
It might also be because the amount of demonic power she could control was limited, like the massive demonic power surge during her bloodline awakening in the Otherworld, which she hadn’t felt since.
Scarlett Jennings admitted that she had developed a certain curiosity about developing her own demonic power.
Hearing Scarlett’s explanation, Magnolia Hearne seed sowhat skeptical,
"Just for that? He, a Mystic Regulation Office manager, would personally handle such a trivial abduction case?"
Magnolia Hearne watched Scarlett’s montary trance, her gaze carrying a trace of subtle tension.
"Did he do sothing else?"
"No."
Scarlett Jennings shook her head, paused, then as if suddenly recalling sothing, added,
"There was also one more thing."
Magnolia Hearne’s heart trembled as she heard Scarlett Jennings speak earnestly,
"He took my amulet as a gift."
Magnolia Hearne: ???
Amulet?
Gift?
Seeming to realize sothing, she abruptly looked at Scarlett Jennings, "Is it that one you modified..."
Scarlett Jennings nodded,
"I heard from you that such an amulet barely affects a Great Demon, and since he left in a hurry at the last banquet, I thought he might as well test it for ."
Scarlett Jennings was curious about the differences between herself and the so-called Great Demons, so she tentatively handed him her modified amulet which could restrain Demon Ghosts.
Unexpectedly, Aaron Hearne squinted at her for two seconds, then nonchalantly took the amulet from her hands and pocketed it.
He only said,
"Amulet, taken."
Scarlett Jennings thought he must have misunderstood, but what frustrated her more was his action.
She originally thought, even if her amulet had limited restraining effects on a Great Demon, it wouldn’t be completely ineffective.
Yet, during the entire process from taking the amulet to pocketing it, he didn’t even twitch a brow.
It was quite annoying.
Learning that was the reason, Magnolia Hearne quietly sighed in relief, simply saying,
"He’s not like us, his father is a Great Demon himself, you don’t need to rush to compare with him."
She spoke as if casually suggesting,
"If it doesn’t work out, just keep your distance from him in the future."
Scarlett Jennings looked at Magnolia Hearne, not dismissing her seemingly casual remark, but after a mont of silence, said,
"If you don’t want to be in too much contact with him, I can quit the Mystic Regulation Office."
Between Cassian Wolf and her mother, she always trusted her more.
