Chapter 877: Chapter 877: I’ll Beat You Up
According to Scarlett Jennings, although the children of the Jennings Family all have shares in the group, Adam Jennings, because he is still in school, does not receive the dividend directly.
Currently, the kids like Adam Jennings and Lucas Jennings have only the pocket money their family gives them every month. Aside from the five million custom fee she previously took from him and the cost of the Jade he bought, he has a few million left at most as pocket money.
As Scarlett Jennings suspected, Adam Jennings indeed has gone bankrupt.
So, starting a couple of months ago, he has been using various thods to squeeze money from his dad, Michael Jennings.
Mainly because after his dad divorced his mom, there haven’t been many opportunities for him to spend large amounts of money.
Rather than letting him squander it, it’s better to spend it on his son.
Adam Jennings also followed them to the neighboring yard, and as soon as he saw the Benedict Beast in Samuel Chalrs’ hand, he exclaid,
“That’s my Benedict Beast! How did it end up with you?!”
He said this while reaching out to take it, but unexpectedly, the Benedict Beast that was still on Samuel Chalrs’ palm suddenly moved.
The body made of Jade turned around, the pointed tail resting against Adam Jennings’ palm, clearly indicating it refused to be taken away by him.
Samuel Chalrs also glanced at Adam Jennings,
“The soul spirit of the Benedict Beast in your Jade is an old acquaintance of mine. If you don’t mind, I wish to keep it here for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Adam Jennings’ first reaction was to refuse.
Why should the Benedict Beast he raised stay with him?
But he wasn’t foolish; whether it was Scarlett’s imdiate reaction earlier or the current deanor of the Benedict Beast on Samuel Chalrs’ palm,
He had already guessed that the recent “unusual behavior” of the Benedict Beast was likely because of this Samuel Chalrs.
The previous instances of “running away from ho” were probably to find him.
Though unwilling inside, Adam Jennings didn’t say anything more outwardly.
After all, it’s just staying with him temporarily.
Surely, Samuel Chalrs wouldn’t outright steal his Benedict Beast?
Scarlett Jennings had previously heard Samuel Chalrs call the na of the Benedict Beast, and according to legend, the Benedict Beast bore the weight of mountains and rivers on its back.
Samuel Chalrs, being a Dragon Vein, is also related to mountains and rivers in a strict sense. It seems reasonable that these two are acquaintances?
Anyway, since Samuel Chalrs brought it up and the Benedict Beast is evidently here for him, Scarlett Jennings didn’t say anything more.
Since the Benedict Beast is staying, Adam Jennings naturally had to stay too.
Scarlett Jennings simply arranged for the three of them to stay.
The entire area of Demon Street connected to the Academy of Mystique is designated as the Fourth District, which is not open to the public.
And for ordinary people to enter and stay, they need to submit a special application to the Mystic Regulation Office and get approval.
In general, the Mystic Regulation Office handles affairs in order of urgency and importance.
And according to her understanding of the efficiency within the Mystic Regulation Office, the approval process could take as little as a month or as long as a year.
If you wait properly, the timing would long be passed.
So, Scarlett Jennings directly used her internal connections and got the approval on the sa day.
While Scarlett Jennings was busy arranging accommodation for the three, Donovan Jennings did not leave the small courtyard where Samuel Chalrs was.
Seeing his appearance in the neighboring courtyard, Donovan Jennings had a hunch about sothing.
“You heard what Scarlett was saying in the courtyard earlier, didn’t you?”
He spoke and then added with a smile, without waiting for Samuel Chalrs to respond,
“I know your senses are remarkable; you don’t need to deny it.”
Even if he was inside, he definitely heard what Scarlett and they said.
Of course, Samuel Chalrs had no intention to deny it either.
With his status, he never needed to deny anything to anyone. Things he didn’t want to talk about, he didn’t even need to respond to.
But for Donovan Jennings, his “friend,” Samuel Chalrs gave a truthful answer,
“I heard it.”
As for what he thought after hearing it, he had no intention of saying anything about it.
Donovan Jennings’s previously smiling eyes imdiately cooled down,
“I don’t know what your feelings toward Scarlett are now, but aside from our past relationship, as Scarlett’s brother, I need to tell you in advance.”
He said, with Caleb Wilder’s face slowly turning a bit stern,
“If one day, you make Scarlett unhappy… I’ll beat you up.”
Whether to the forr Samuel Chalrs or the present Samuel Chalrs, his attitude remained the sa.
His sister, he wouldn’t allow her to suffer any emotional betrayal or harm.
Even if the person is a Dragon Vein, it’s the sa.
Samuel Chalrs listened to his serious tone, looking at him with eyes as deep as ink.
He showed no hint of emotion, no detectable ripple.
After a long while, he slowly spoke,
“I understand.”
Their conversation ended with this sentence.
From start to finish, Donovan Jennings was only speaking as Scarlett’s brother.
As for what he wished to say as a friend of Samuel Chalrs, he didn’t say a word.
About Samuel Chalrs’ return, beyond surprise, his feelings were like Scarlett’s.
He was pleased that he appeared again and believed he would return to his forr self.
So what he wanted to say to his friend, Samuel Chalrs, he would say slowly when he truly returned.
…
Although the arrival of Donovan Jennings and the other two caught Scarlett Jennings slightly off guard, the initially planned selection within the Academy had to continue.
Scarlett Jennings initially thought of letting Lucas Jennings and the others roam Demon Street by themselves.
Now that they were here, they might as well explore the differences between Third District Demon Street and the ordinary.
Lucas Jennings was quite interested initially, but upon hearing that Scarlett Jennings and Dashiell’s Academy of Mystique were preparing for an internal selection for the upcoming Mystical Sect Championship, his interest piqued even more.
“The Mystical Sect Championship is a larger-scale event than the previous Academy Tournant, right?!”
Lucas Jennings still rembered that he had borrowed Dashiell’s account to watch the entire Academy Tournant broadcast, and it was quite the thrilling process.
This internal selection at the Academy of Mystique, with all Demon students participating, was bound to be even more exciting!
Lucas Jennings beca excited imdiately and, in a rare mont, pleaded with Scarlett Jennings,
“Sis! Sis! I want to go! Other than Dashiell, I haven’t really seen many Demons.
What does the Academy of Mystique look like? How is the internal selection done? I want to see! Take there! Sis! I know you can figure it out! Sis~”
Although Donovan Jennings and Adam Jennings couldn’t act spoiled like Lucas Jennings, relying on their age, they still looked directly at Scarlett, clearly also curious.
Scarlett Jennings initially wanted to refuse, but suddenly, as if she thought of sothing, she looked at Lucas and the others,
“I do have so ways to get into the Academy of Mystique, but are you sure you really want in?”
Hearing this, Lucas Jennings nodded vigorously, and Adam Jennings, with a restrained expression, followed suit.
Donovan Jennings, on the other hand, smiled, speaking warmly,
“Seeing it firsthand would be nice.”
He had always regretted that as an ordinary person, he couldn’t connect with Scarlett’s world or participate in much of what she did.
This was indeed a rare opportunity.
Looking at the three, Scarlett Jennings spoke lightly after a mont, with a tone hinting at deeper aning,
“Well… you better not regret it.”
