The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!

Chapter 1266: Extra Story: Sebastian Carew & Violet Allen 4

Even Violet Allen didn’t know that the Shadow Mountain Ghost King would leave a Ghost King Mark on Sebastian Carew to protect him.

Perhaps it was out of guilt, or perhaps for other reasons.

But, coincidentally, it led to the current misunderstanding.

Viola Hubris, who was Violet Allen’s boss, originally wanted to bring a group of underlings to support her.

Who would have thought that this little sister would run into the Ghost King.

The Shadow Mountain Ghost King, although higher in rank than her, she is directly under the Underworld, and even a sixth-ranked official from the Mortal Realm is higher than a fifth-ranked local official, not to mention her.

So if it really came to a fight... she could also manage.

Thus, when the two sides met, tensions flared.

As their leader, she did not back down, and this time the ten-plus Ghost Messengers that followed her all held iron chains or Mourning Sticks, ready to fight at any moment.

Sebastian Carew found himself engulfed in dense Ghost Energy, and if he hadn’t had the Amulet given to him by Scarlett Jennings, his soul might have been unstable.

Even then, he wasn’t feeling well.

Seeing this, Violet immediately used a mantra to stabilize his soul, then quickly spoke up to stop the parties that looked like they were about to fight,

"Boss, you’re mistaken; it’s not the Shadow Mountain Ghost King."

She pointed to the Evil Master who her Black Armor General had just managed to stand up after being smacked down,

"It’s him! Not only did he alter the Underworld’s soul-fetching information to find a substitute, but he also used an Evil Technique to plot against me, almost causing me to be harmed by my own Magic Artifact!"

She looked at her boss hopefully expecting her to stand up for her.

But her boss just rolled her eyes beautifully,

"To be plotted against by an Evil Master and almost harmed by your own Magic Artifact, and you still have the nerve to complain to me."

The underlying message was clear disdain for the Evil Master not being up to scratch.

A couple of Ghost Messengers nearby couldn’t help but chuckle lightly when they heard it.

Though it was mocking, there wasn’t a hint of disdain.

The Evil Master who had been named over there had long noticed the scene here.

He never expected that just a single Life Impermanence would bring so many Ghost Messengers, and even the Shadow Mountain Ghost King!

How was he supposed to fight against that?

Eight million wouldn’t be enough!

Just as he was considering whether to proactively ask for mercy, "Wuthering Atkins" hiding within the Array had long been terrified by the group of Ghost Messengers and quickly turned to the Evil Master for help,

"M-Master!... Think of something, don’t let them take me away!"

His words instantly drew the attention of the parties on both sides of the confrontation.

The Evil Master was about to angrily tell him to shut up when he saw that all the Ghost Messengers, including the Shadow Mountain Ghost King, turned their heads to look at him.

Viola Hubris snorted coldly,

"A mere Evil Master dares to put on airs in front of Impermanence."

The Shadow Mountain Ghost King had also heard from Violet’s words that it was because of this Evil Master that Sebastian Carew was almost harmed, and immediately released Shadow Energy from his surroundings.

Viola Hubris’s Ghost Energy, combined with the Ghost King’s Shadow Energy, simultaneously attacked the Evil Master, giving him no room to resist, quickly draining his energy, and his hair, which had been reasonably black, visibly turning gray-white.

With two leaders taking action, the remaining Ghost Messengers couldn’t get in on the action, but since they were there, it wouldn’t do to do nothing.

So all the ghosts turned their gaze toward "Wuthering Atkins" within the Array.

"That’s the new soul we were supposed to fetch today, right?"

"Since we’re here, let’s fetch his soul while we’re at it."

"Good idea, the intern’s Mourning Stick got destroyed."

More than ten Ghost Messengers chimed in one after another, first destroying the Array, and someone casually grabbed Wuthering Atkins’ soul from his body.

Turning their head, they asked Violet,

"Should we send this soul for verification or take it down with us?"

Violet, upon hearing it involved her KPI, couldn’t bother pretending to be pitiful and quickly just floated over,

"Give it to me, give it to me, thanks a lot to all the seniors, this coworker’s love really touches me. When we return, I’ll burn you a few Big Gold Ingots."

Violet chuckled as she spoke, and took Wuthering Atkins’ soul from one of the Ghost Messenger’s hands.

With her Mourning Stick destroyed, she could only bring out a spare paper rope, manually tying him up, and then took out her phone to register the Ghost Energy for verification, before smiling and thanking the Ghost Messenger seniors again.

Viola Hubris watched her thanking everyone but not her, suddenly cleared her throat.

Violet saw it, immediately dashed back to her boss’ side, and switched to a pitiful look,

"Boss, my Magic Artifact is gone, can it be replaced?"

Viola Hubris glanced at her, her voice merciless,

"Dream on."

Is the Impermanence Mourning Stick something that can be replaced just like that?

Violet knew it wouldn’t be that simple, so she turned to the Shadow Mountain Ghost King,

"Ghost King, you have to compensate me for the Magic Artifact."

The Shadow Mountain Ghost King scowled, his intimidating aura pressing towards her, "I compensate?"

Violet, relying on her boss being present, ignored the oppressive aura and puffed out her chest,

"You crushed the Mourning Stick, who else is going to compensate me?"

The Shadow Mountain Ghost King was about to dismiss it, when Sebastian Carew suddenly spoke up,

"If you can, help her out. I can pay."

Due to the previous experience of being forced into marriage, if possible, Sebastian hoped to have no further dealings with this Lord Ghost King.

But, the reason the Shadow Mountain Ghost King crushed Violet’s Magic Artifact was ultimately because of him.

He couldn’t help her get a new Mourning Stick, so he could only ask him for help.

As for money, he knew that for a dignified Ghost King, money from the Mortal Realm was of no use, but all he had was money.

The Shadow Mountain Ghost King remained silently for a second after hearing him speak, and after a moment, gave face by replying,

"No need, I’ll compensate."

Upon hearing he would compensate, Violet was instantly happy.

Viola Hubris and the group of Ghost Messengers finally noticed Sebastian’s presence and couldn’t suppress their curiosity,

"Who is this person?"

Violet was just about to explain when the Ghost King spoke first, curling his lips, and said,

"Who else could he be? Her fiancé."

Back then, to protect Sebastian from being taken by the Ghost King, Violet had offhandedly claimed Sebastian was her fiancé, even using secretly-taken private photos as evidence.

And this lie, to this day, hadn’t been clarified with the Shadow Mountain Ghost King.

She herself had even forgotten about it.

Now hearing the Ghost King say this, Viola Hubris and the group of Ghost Messengers all showed an expression of realization,

"Ah, so it’s the fiancé."

Viola Hubris glanced at Violet, then at Sebastian, and nodded, showing approval,

"Not bad, quite a match."

Having said that, she left suddenly, just as suddenly as she had come.

As the Shadow Mountain Ghost King watched, he gave Sebastian a deep look and quickly vanished too.

Sebastian looked around at the now empty Heavenly Platform, having just breathed a sigh of relief when Violet suddenly exclaimed,

"Ah!"

Turning his head, Sebastian saw Violet staring intently at the Shadow Energy Bracelet that had appeared on her wrist.

Looking closer, he found an identical Shadow Energy Bracelet had somehow appeared on his wrist too.

"What’s this?"

"Nether Contract!"

Violet gritted her teeth and explained, facing Sebastian’s puzzled gaze, feeling inexplicably guilty,

"It’s just that... boss and the others unanimously determined we have a fiancé relationship, so we...

now count as having an Underworld Official-certified marriage contract..."
