Chapter 64 -64: The Fiancé Picked for Her

Samuel Chalmers slightly furrowed his brow.

This wasn’t the first time he had seen Scarlett Jennings make such a motion in front of him.

Only the last time she had done it somewhat covertly.

This time, however, it was out in the open.

His dark eyes narrowed intently, and he only asked, “What’s in your hand?”

Scarlett Jennings heard and immediately knew that he couldn’t see it.

But that was normal.

Since she started practicing Mystical Techniques, she had met many people from the Mystical Sect.

Those people could at most see shadow energy and ghosts, but they couldn’t see all the “colors” like she could.

But since the topic was already brought up, Scarlett didn’t intend to hide it from him.

Her small face tensed slightly as she looked at him and simply said,

“I have a Golden Light in my hand.”

Paused, and then added, “Which I pulled from you.”

Samuel Chalmers: …

“You have a lot of Golden Light on you,” Scarlett said, “so every time I see you, it stings my eyes a bit.”

Samuel Chalmers: …

He vaguely understood why each time she saw him, she would blink forcefully.

“What is Golden Light?”

“Generally speaking, Golden Light only appears on people with considerable merit, but I’ve inquired, and aside from occasionally attending charity auctions, you haven’t had any outstanding deeds. This Golden Light is probably merit accumulated from your past lives.”

Scarlett Jennings explained,

“Golden Light protects against all evil. You were likely an extraordinary good person in a past life, and you can consider it a blessing.”

As for why she said “likely,” it was because Scarlett couldn’t see through his face at all.

In fact, just seeing his appearance through the Golden Light was already straining her eyes.

What Scarlett didn’t see was a faint, almost imperceptible trace of mockery flashed in Samuel Chalmers’s eyes when she mentioned “blessing.”

That trace of mockery hid within the Golden Light and disappeared in an instant.

When he looked at Scarlett again, his eyes were calm and serene.

“This Golden Light is useful to you.”

He spoke as a statement, his tone carrying an obvious certainty.

Samuel Chalmers was the youngest Family Head in the lineage of the Chalmers Family, much sharper than ordinary people.

From his brief encounters with Scarlett Jennings, he didn’t believe she was the kind of person who enjoyed helping people with clarity.

Yet she not only spoke up but was very detailed about it.

Combining this with the previous incident where she secretly pulled something from him, it was clear she had intentions concerning the Golden Light on him.

Scarlett didn’t expect him to easily figure out her intentions before she said a word, but this didn’t prevent her from admitting it openly.

“I am indeed a bit interested in you.”

Scarlett said solemnly, pausing as she met his deep, dark eyes, her expression awkward as she added,

“I’m very interested in your Golden Light.”

She was mostly sure that the last time she was able to summon Purple Thunder, it was entirely due to the power of his Golden Light.

And adding to the fact that she just witnessed his Golden Light dispelling resentful energy that even professionals couldn’t eliminate, it was clear that this Golden Light did more than just drive away evil and shadow energy.

She was straightforward, but Samuel Chalmers didn’t dislike this kind of straightforwardness.

He continued watching her, seemingly waiting for her to continue.

However, Scarlett didn’t speak for a long time.

Because just as she was about to say something, her attention was caught by an object on the antique shelf behind Samuel Chalmers.

Samuel Chalmers frowned, unable to hear her continue, was about to remind her, when he saw Scarlett suddenly stand up with a swish.

She bypassed him and headed straight for the antique shelf behind him.

Samuel Chalmers’s antique shelf was full of collectibles, but Scarlett’s gaze was fixed on a withered branch encased in a glass box in the corner of the shelf.

Blackened.

A thousand-year Thunderstruck Peach Wood.

It was her mentor’s branch!

At that moment, Scarlett forgot about the Golden Light. She pointed at the peach branch, her eyes blazing with a solemn intensity, and asked him,
