Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Wanting a House—Preferably Next Door to Her
Scarlett Jennings never planned to take on the entire Ghost Fog organization by herself from the start.
All she ever wanted was to have a place at Samuel Chalrs’ side.
Maybe Donovan Jennings understood her intentions, maybe it was sothing else, but Simon eventually gave in.
“But whether Cassian Wolf or I say yes doesn’t matter; you have to convince that one person to agree.”
Simon couldn’t make decisions for Samuel Chalrs.
So, no matter how eloquent Scarlett Jennings was, it still required Samuel Chalrs’ nod of approval.
Scarlett Jennings simply said, “I have already talked to him.”
Simon and Aaron Hearne were both stunned, “He agreed?”
Scarlett Jennings replied naturally, “He didn’t refuse.”
To be precise, she didn’t give him a chance to refuse.
However, the process was not important.
Simon looked deeply at Scarlett Jennings, with emotions in his eyes that were slightly complicated, for quite a while, he seed amused but didn’t say anything more.
Seeing that he no longer opposed, Scarlett Jennings then turned to Aaron Hearne and stated another purpose for her visit.
“I want to purchase another property on Demon Street, preferably right next to my little courtyard.”
Scarlett Jennings said, “I heard that buying and selling houses on Demon Street needs approval from the Mystic Regulation Office.”
This ti, it was Aaron Hearne’s turn to look at her with a deep gaze.
When she ntioned buying a house next to hers, anyone could guess who the house was intended for.
However, this was for the best.
With a slightly gentle gaze, Aaron Hearne didn’t show any difficulty this ti and directly waved his hand,
“I’ll take care of the house matter, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Scarlett Jennings felt assured upon hearing this.
Although this uncle sotis loved to make trouble, he was indeed competent when it ca to getting things done.
Putting down a concern, she was ready to leave, but suddenly rembered sothing and said to the two,
“Dark Mo said the Ghost Fog organization captured more than just him for experints; I’m thinking those evil demons involved in abducting imps three months ago might be linked to Ghost Fog’s sches. The Mystic Regulation Office might try to find clues from those evil demons.”
Knowing that Aaron didn’t plan to let them get involved in probing the demons behind Ghost Fog, Scarlett Jennings rely reminded them.
She hadn’t followed up on the subsequent disposition of those three evil demons.
But Ghost Fog’s experints on Dark Mo were progressing; they might want to use more imps for experints.
She intuitively felt there might be a connection between the two.
Simon and Aaron raised their eyebrows at her words but didn’t show much on their faces, simply replying,
“Understood.”
After Scarlett Jennings left, Simon looked at the closed door and couldn’t help but speak,
“This little girl, quite perceptive indeed.”
Regarding the ulterior motives of those evil demons, Aaron Hearne had already discovered so hints.
But this matter hadn’t been disclosed publicly.
Unexpectedly, Scarlett Jennings noticed it herself.
Sighing internally, he glanced at Simon, straightforwardly stating,
“People from my Mystic Regulation Office are naturally perceptive.”
Upon hearing this, Simon’s eyebrows twitched, imdiately refuting,
“She’s part of my Security Bureau too!”
In fact, she joined the Security Bureau a day earlier than the Mystic Regulation Office!
“She has Demon Clan bloodline within her.”
“Hah! To claim bragging rights for rely a quarter of the bloodline as yours, when it’s actually Magnolia Hearne’s!
Your status is at best as an uncle; in reality, what relation do you have?”
Aaron Hearne’s presence turned slightly cold in response, and he scanned sharply, “Want a fight?”
Simon was entirely unfearful, “Let’s fight, now!”
…
Scarlett Jennings was unaware of what happened next.
Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.
Luckily, although Aaron was busy fighting, he didn’t delay what needed to be done.
Early the next day, Scarlett Jennings heard that the family of Peacock Demon who originally lived next door had moved out.
The house was vacated, yet Scarlett Jennings didn’t think Samuel Chalrs would just move in.
Not to ntion anything else, with Samuel Chalrs’ previous OCD, he wouldn’t want to live in a house previously lived in by other demons.
Therefore, on the day she obtained the house, Scarlett Jennings quickly had people co in for refurbishnt and cleaning, replacing all interior decorations.
Given the rarity of Demons dealing with these matters, Scarlett Jennings specifically hired an external human team.
Though Demon Street generally doesn’t allow humans to enter, in certain special circumstances when necessary, outside humans are permitted.
But they are prohibited from staying long-term or overnight.
Donovan Jennings’ assistant, busy with settling rescued cats and dogs, upon hearing of new work orders, imdiately set aside her tasks and swiftly contacted a reliable local team from Capital tropolitan to assist.
She also indicated, “I haven’t finished up at the rescue station; once the pet owners co tomorrow to pick up their cats and dogs, I can go back and help you supervise.”
Scarlett Jennings said, “No need, just focus on the rescue station, I’ll supervise here myself.”
She casually asked about the situation at the rescue station.
The assistant promptly relayed the station’s situation.
Though temporary, due to involving a reliable local organization and Scarlett Jennings speaking out, with Sebastian Carew and Ariel Zimrman forwarding it as popular celebrities, the station received many inquiries for adoption.
“There’s one problem; it’s said so cat abusers pretend to be adopters to torture and kill the pets. Even with a follow-up chanism, it’s hard to filter these people, and the number of pets is really high…”
Scarlett Jennings listened quietly, thought for a mont, and said,
“Regarding the selection, I have an idea.”
That day, Scarlett Jennings utilized Spiritual Affairs employee privileges to privately grant the assistant access to a special section within the Spiritual Affairs app.
Allowing her to use a temporary account login, restricted to editing and browsing a single post.
The post’s content was simple: publishing the photos of all recent potential adopters on the platform, while inviting Mystical Sect friends to filter individuals stained with evil debts through their face reading skills.
This was not a transaction post, rely voluntary, earning rit, and offering practice for face reading skills.
The assistant would follow up the comnts to exclude unsuitable adopters and update new adopter photos.
Upon posting, Scarlett Jennings imdiately promoted it to the top using her points, quickly attracting many Mystical Sect mbers, especially Taoism Academy students.
Practicing face reading was highly needed among Taoism Academy students.
They only practiced with classmates, an overused thod leading to fatigue.
Moreover, rely detecting stains of murder without involving causality wasn’t against Mystical Sect taboos.
Soon, several adopters with evil debts were identified, and the post unexpectedly went viral on the forum.
So much so that later, instructors at Taoism Academy were inspired by the post, subsequently arranging collaborations between their students and various orphanages for extracurricular part-ti activities, but that is a story for another ti.
While the adoption issue at the rescue station was smoothly resolved, elsewhere, Samuel Chalrs received a set of drawings sent by Liora Gold from Scarlett Jennings.
Regarding his new residence design plans.
