The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Torrential Rain, Arriving with a Bang

Hearing Scarlett Jennings’ words, not only Evander Simpson but also other guests like Sebastian Carew felt she was putting on a brave front. Still, they couldn’t help but ask,

"Do you have another way?"

Having interacted with Scarlett for the past two months, they all believed she wasn’t someone who would do something uncertain.

Scarlett pressed her lips together, a look of precision on her exquisite face,

"Although I’m not entirely sure, I can give it a try."

Evander didn’t want to undermine her confidence, merely saying, "Go ahead."

If she failed, he would back her up.

He didn’t say that part, but everyone understood the implication in his words.

Scarlett nodded to them and then stepped forward.

On the other side, Gregory Xander had just retrieved and organized the dip pen he had thrown earlier. Seeing her approach, he even handed the pen to her personally.

Scarlett took the pen but merely practiced a few strokes in the air. Seemingly unsatisfied with its feel, she returned it, choosing a smaller one instead.

Everyone watched her select the pen, instinctively holding their breath and focusing.

Yet they saw that she did not proceed to the open space to draw a talisman array like Gregory. Instead, she took out four clean sheets of yellow paper, arranging them in succession.

She first tilted her head to glance at the talisman array Gregory had left on the ground, as if recalling something, then turned back and rapidly began drawing on the clean yellow paper on the table.

Leander, surprised by her actions, inadvertently moved a step closer.

But the show’s cameraman moved even quicker, swiftly securing the best filming angle.

A direct close-up.

The live-stream audience could clearly see the four sheets of yellow paper placed together in front of Scarlett. As she raised the pen, gathering energy, the vermillion on the pen’s tip fell decisively.

Her pen flowed like a dancing dragon and snake. Though her actions were slow, there was not a hint of hesitation, completing a stroke as it was finished.

Gregory, who initially learned talisman arrays, had never tried drawing a Rainmaking Talisman on talisman paper, was curious to see it clearly.

However, as he moved closer and saw what Scarlett had drawn on the talisman paper, his face darkened suddenly,

"You’re just messing around! Who taught you to draw talismans like that?!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

One couldn’t blame him for getting angry; the talisman Scarlett had drawn was unusual.

Even when drawing an ordinary Rainmaking Talisman, talismanic practices emphasized completeness. Completeness meant that the runes on a sheet of talisman paper had to be intact.

However, Scarlett’s talisman was drawn across four sheets of talisman paper, forming a single rune.

It’s like this rune was pieced together using four talisman papers.

Regardless of completeness, the runes on this talisman paper bore no trace of spiritual power. How could they summon rain?

In Gregory’s eyes, he had never seen anyone draw talismans this way.

Even the new students and two teachers present hadn’t seen this method of drawing talismans.

They didn’t know if they should praise her or not.

Although the talisman she drew appeared to be a correct Rainmaking Talisman, the rune being segmented across four talisman papers was hardly believable to have any effect.

Outsiders watched for fun, insiders looked for substance.

This talisman, even lacking the spiritual light that usual talismans should have, clearly indicated failure.

The live-stream audience and the program’s staff couldn’t understand talismans, but judging from the reactions of the two teachers and Gregory, Scarlett’s talisman possibly hadn’t been drawn well.

It looked... exactly like what Gregory had drawn on the ground just now.

Gregory glared at Scarlett, looking as though she was trying to gain attention again.
