The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Chapter 372 The Dissipating Evil God System

Scarlett Jennings’ almond-shaped eyes gleamed sharply, revealing rare traces of anger.

The system, however, showed no fear.

It might have hesitated against Purple Thunder, but as for a mere Peach Wood Sword? It didn’t even take it seriously.

Without hesitation, it advanced toward the wooden sword.

Then, it was abruptly stripped of one-third of its energy by the sword.

The system froze in shock.

Who exactly was this Scarlett Jennings?!

Summoning such horrifying Purple Thunder was already terrifying enough.

But now, to inflict damage with just a Peach Wood Sword?

This was... unthinkable!

If the system had a face, it would surely be wearing a stunned expression.

Scarlett Jennings, however, showed no surprise.

Ordinary Peach Wood Swords used as magic artifacts typically relied on Thunderstruck Peach Wood, but even among Thunderstruck Peach Wood, there were differences.

The branch in her hand was a millennia-old piece of Thunderstruck Wood left to her by her master—and not just ordinary Thunderstruck Peach Wood.

It was Heavenly Thunder-struck Wood.

Though she didn’t know where her master had acquired such rare material, a Peach Wood Sword imbued with the aura of Heavenly Thunder was born to suppress all evil and malevolence.

Enhanced by her own blood, this so-called Evil God System would meet an inescapable doom today.

Especially considering the eerie appearance of Fire Thunder earlier, which seemed to be fueled by some force protecting this so-called Evil God System.

Scarlett Jennings had a gut feeling that if she let it escape today, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Samuel Chalmers’ earlier strike of Heavenly Thunder would have been all for naught too.

Thinking of this, Scarlett Jennings decisively cast a protective array around Samuel Chalmers. Then, gripping her sword, she charged toward the remaining red energy mass.

Having just suffered a severe blow, the system dared not confront her head-on. It instantly spun around and fled.

As for rebinding itself to Samuel Chalmers? At this moment, the system couldn’t even afford to consider that.

It needed to save its own existence first!

The onlookers, including Caius Carew and his group, couldn’t see the system’s true form. From their perspective, they simply saw Scarlett Jennings, cold-eyed and wielding her sword, striking at seemingly random targets.

Her movements were swift as the wind, and the Peach Wood Sword glowed with ripples of spiritual energy wherever it cut.

Victor Quintero’s eyes burned with envy. He couldn’t help but shoot frenzied glances at his team leader.

This person was a must-have for their bureau!

No need to wait for her academy graduation—she should be reserved immediately!

Caius Carew understood Victor Quintero’s intent, but this wasn’t his decision to make.

Not to mention, Scarlett Jennings had just enrolled, and the academy’s headmaster would not easily release her.

And with Scarlett Jennings’ obvious aptitude...

He feared he wouldn’t even be able to snatch her for his division.

Better to wait and see.

Meanwhile, within the array, Scarlett Jennings’ spiritual energy appeared to show signs of depletion. Caius Carew wanted to assist but couldn’t see the system, rendering him incapable of intervening.

All they could do was maintain the talisman array to ensure the entity wouldn’t escape.

The system was being relentlessly chased by Scarlett Jennings, retrograding in chaos as its red energy mass lost more fragments under her strikes. The system was furious.

It had detected traces of its sub-system energy on the Peach Wood Sword and finally understood how Scarlett Jennings had been able to pinpoint and trap it so accurately.

It wanted to reclaim that energy, but no matter what it tried, the energy refused its control—as if... it had entirely become Scarlett Jennings’ possession.
