The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Chapter 440 The Second Daughter

The woman’s words instantly ignited a commotion among the police officers and civilians in the administrative hall.

"That’s a trafficker! This method is exactly like the ones shown on TV!"

"Nowadays, traffickers are great actors. That cop must be fake too!"

"Where did your child go missing? You need to chase down that van quickly."

The civilians nearby chimed in noisily, while the officers on-site gestured for them to quiet down and began collecting detailed information about the location, time, and the license plate of the van.

The woman’s face was filled with anguish; surrounded by the clamor, she had completely lost her ability to think, repeatedly pleading for the officers to find her child as quickly as possible.

Seeing this, the officer realized they needed to calm her down first. He began guiding her into a private room, but just as they began to move, a clear chant suddenly emerged from the crowd.

"...Let the mind be calm, the breath steady; see my unified spirit; let the heart align, let the breath follow..."

Gregory Xander, forming a spell with his fingers, quickly approached the woman while chanting and stepped directly in front of the officers and her, blocking their way.

"Let tranquility envelop me, remain unfazed by chaos; free of delusion, free of anger; free from desire, free from seeking; let go, relinquish, dissolve the self."

Everyone present was left dumbfounded, including the officer supporting the woman, whose expression darkened instantly.

Just as he was about to scold Gregory for obstructing the process, Gregory finished the last words of the chant and swiftly pointed his spell-bound fingers at the woman’s brow.

All eyes watched as the woman, who had been spiraling into despair and chaos, supported by two officers, slowly calmed down.

Seizing the opportunity, Gregory repeated the questions the officers had asked earlier. This time, the woman answered without hesitation,

"On Peace Street... around ten... ten minutes ago."

She paused, seemingly digging further into her memories, then provided the model and license plate number of the van.

The officers helping the woman eyed Gregory with astonishment, exchanging glances that revealed their disbelief.

Meanwhile, another officer at a computer had already contacted the traffic team and pulled up surveillance footage from the specified time and location.

"Found it! Thirteen minutes ago, the van was heading toward Old Street."

Officers quickly mobilized search teams to intercept the vehicle, while the woman anxiously watched the ongoing efforts. Although still restless, she was clearly no longer in utter despair.

Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t resist inching closer to Gregory Xander, blurting out the question on every viewer’s mind during the live stream,

"Senior Brother Xander, what spell did you just use?"

Caught off guard by Ariel’s sudden proximity, Gregory instinctively stepped half a step back and responded,

"It was the Calming Incantation. When someone undergoes a severe trauma, they’re often unable to think clearly. This helps them regain composure and their ability to process rational thoughts."

Viewers in the live stream seemed eager to learn, expressing their fascination through comments.

[Senior Brother Xander might be old-fashioned, but he’s so reliable.]

[I realize I love hearing Senior Brother Xander recite spells. I’ve replayed the Golden Light Spell from last time over and over!]

["Inspiration" is seriously teaching me life-saving tricks I never knew!]

[Traffickers deserve to die. Hope the police catch them at once.]

[This mother is so irresponsible! Her kid got snatched and all she does is cry? She can’t even give useful information!]

[It’s normal for her to be in shock. Losing a child isn’t something anyone can handle.]

[They say a mother can rise to any occasion—but I don’t see that in her. Crying doesn’t solve problems, does it?]
