The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 467

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Where Are His Champagne, Candles, and Rose Petals?

Facing the seemingly probing gaze of Scarlett Jennings, Samuel Chalmers remained expressionless and simply said,

"There’s blood on your sleeve."

Scarlett looked down and only then noticed that her fingers still had some dried bloodstains. She had just used this hand to pull someone, so she hurriedly said to Daniel Wright,

"Sorry, I dirtied your clothes."

Daniel didn’t mind such things, "It’s okay."

He then hastily added, "I’ll go arrange the retrieval team first."

Soon, the police sealed off the scene and arranged for a retrieval team to come.

The group of players, who were originally eager to leave, stayed after hearing that some people who had played the game before had disappeared, and it was as many as seventeen.

But looking at the people diving to retrieve them, they couldn’t help but lose hope in their hearts.

To have to dredge someone up from the bottom of the lake, they must be beyond saving.

Even though Daniel believed in Scarlett’s judgment, he couldn’t help but feel nervous as he waited. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Could people really be found at the bottom of Lakeheart?

Could those retrieved still be alive?

Soon, there was commotion from the retrieval team.

People started to be pulled out from the bottom of the lake one after another.

The onlookers around the lake couldn’t help but turn their heads, not daring to look.

Afraid that the bodies retrieved would be too horrifying.

But the next moment, they heard someone from the retrieval team saying in disbelief, "They’re still alive! Quickly, get them to the ambulance!"

Immediately, the area erupted with various gasps of shock.

"They’re actually still alive?"

"They were submerged in the lake and managed to survive??"

"Oh my gosh, which benevolent Water Ghost in this lake did this? I want to release some tofu fish for it!"

"Releasing tofu fish into the water is for feeding the lonely spirits, not setting them free. Don’t speak if you don’t know."

"..."

After confirming that all seventeen missing persons were still alive, Scarlett then said to Gregory Xander on the other side,

"Senior Brother Xander, I’ll leave the matter of those Living Souls returning to their bodies to you."

Having been trapped in the Ghost Realm, the players were more or less stained with some Shadow Energy, and that needed to be handled separately.

"Understood, you don’t need to worry about all this."

Gregory paused, then asked her, "However, how did you know those seventeen people were submerged at the lake bottom?"

Scarlett simply replied,

"The main body of the Ghost Realm’s master is in the center of a giant pit. Next to it are seventeen grave mounds, but I couldn’t feel any dead energy in those mounds."

Earlier, Scarlett saw that the missing people were all Living Souls, so she speculated that they were still alive.

As the Ghost Realm had existed for millennia, it was impossible that it only had seventeen grave mounds.

So Scarlett speculated that it was a clue left to her by that Princess.

She wasn’t the only one with a soft heart.

"Right, besides those seventeen people, I also caught a Rat Demon inside."

Scarlett suddenly remembered that she had missed catching a Rat Demon, not knowing if it got away.

Evander Simpson, who was next to her, chimed in, "That Rat Demon has already been retrieved by Senior Brother Qi, don’t worry, go back and rest. Leave this to us."

Only then did Scarlett nod, turning to look at Samuel Chalmers at her side, about to instinctively reach out to absorb some Spiritual Energy for recovery, but remembering that the master had just mentioned her hands were dirty, so she quickly pulled back.

Samuel didn’t look at her; however, the moment her hand retreated, he naturally reached out and held onto her just-withdrawn hand.

Scarlett was startled, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Watching Samuel’s action, Scarlett couldn’t help but remind him,

"I’ve got blood on my hand, it’s dirty."

"Hmm, wash it when we get back."

Samuel said it as a matter of course, yet he had no intention of letting go, pulling her directly toward the car.

Knowing she had exerted much effort tonight, Daniel naturally didn’t stop them. Instead, the scene of Samuel pulling her hand and leaving was captured by some observant onlookers.
