Chapter 1273: Extra Story – Donovan Jennings 3
Chapter 1273: Extra Story – Donovan Jennings 3
The sudden change not only startled Felix Clark and the other two but also caused the Big Ghost and Evil Demons in the Ghost Realm to freeze simultaneously.
The originally menacing mist seemed to be forcibly paused, and Nyxelle Sinclaire turned her head to see, clearly sensing that the powerful force came from the red thread on Donovan Jennings’ wrist.
But upon closer inspection, that red thread was not just one, but three woven together.
That demonic power did not belong to one person, but...
Three people!
The moment they realized this, everyone saw three enormous fox shadows suddenly appear behind Donovan Jennings.
They stood behind him, twenty-four fox tails swaying invisibly. As the fox shadows struck a pose, three streams of demonic power seemed to solidify and counter-attacked the oncoming ghost energy and demon energy.
Nyxelle Sinclaire saw the formerly aggressive mist seemed scared, retreating quickly like a tide.
At the same time, the Ghost Realm, originally controlled by the Big Ghost, suddenly had an influx of external breath.
The intangible space of the Ghost Realm seemed to be torn open by someone from the outside.
First, there was one crack,
then a second,
and a third.
With the opening of three spatial rifts, three figures slowly stepped in from three directions.
The snowy white fox tails spread out, and the rapidly surging demonic power caused the Ghost Realm, which was originally filled with demonic power, to feel an intangible pressure.
It was as if a shattered glass surface, first spreading from the spatial rifts, then connecting rapidly inch by inch, and then a click was heard.
The Ghost Realm that had trapped everyone suddenly shattered.
Felix Clark cried directly on the side.
He looked at the figure that appeared in front of him, the uniquely ten-tailed figure flaunting behind her; even silhouetted against the light and unable to see her face clearly, Felix Clark recognized who it was in an instant.
His idol, Scarlett, had come to save him!
Felix Clark was overwhelmed with emotion, just about to take a step forward when that figure had already come forward first.
Looking at him... beside Donovan Jennings, with full seriousness in her eyes, she asked him,
"Brother, are you alright?"
Donovan Jennings was a bit surprised at Scarlett’s sudden appearance and couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the other two people on both sides,
"You all... have come?"
At this moment, it was not just Scarlett Jennings who appeared; there was also Magnolia Hearne, and... Emily Hearne.
The three red threads on his wrist also came from these three people.
Knowing he didn’t awaken demonic power nor had spiritual power, yet dealing with people from the Mystical Sect, inevitably encountered some demonic and eerie things.
So Scarlett Jennings wove a strand of her power into a red string for him to wear.
Initially, there was only one, but when Magnolia Hearne saw that Scarlett gave one, as a mother, she must give one too.
Emily Hearne saw this, remembered she gave a red string to both Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers, and felt it unreasonable not to give one to this grandson, so she gave one too.
That’s how the three red threads came about.
Originally, just a wisp of demonic power from the three of them was enough to resist most demon ghosts.
Even if they encountered a Ghost King, it couldn’t harm Donovan Jennings right away.
However, at the moment they sensed Donovan Jennings was in danger, the three of them did not hesitate to teleport through their domains to where he was.
It goes without saying for Magnolia Hearne and Scarlett Jennings, but even Emily Hearne arriving so quickly was truly unexpected for Donovan Jennings.
Seeing his gaze, Emily Hearne casually said,
"I was bored staying in the garden today, so I went for a stroll nearby and came over for a look."
She did feel a bit guilty about once trying to turn this child into a ten-tailed vessel.
Even though the Demon Clan always revered the strong, Emily Hearne inexplicably cared for this grandson, who hadn’t awakened a bit of demonic power.
Upon hearing her words, though knowing it was an excuse, Donovan Jennings couldn’t help but deepen the smile in his eyes.
Emily Hearne meeting those gentle, smiling eyes suddenly reminded her of that man.
He was Magnolia Hearne’s father, and his grandfather too.
Her eyes darkened briefly and quickly shifted away.
Seemingly to alleviate her awkwardness, Emily Hearne turned her gaze to the three little beings she had been forcefully holding in place with her demonic power.
"It was you guys, trying to move against him?"
Her voice carried laziness, but the dangerous undertone made the three demon ghosts tremble instinctively.
The grotesque-looking evil demon first pleaded for mercy,
"Spare us, we didn’t know they were yours, we didn’t mean to touch him!"
Fellow demons could best sense the dominance of demonic power from a strong one. These three combined couldn’t handle this nine-tailed fox before them, let alone the other two...
Seeing it plead, the millennium-old Big Ghost looked disdainful.
No matter how strong these three demons were, it had at least cultivated for a thousand years, surely...
Before the thought fully formed, a golden light flashed before its eyes.
The next second, its surrounding black ghost energy was instantly cut down by the golden light, feeling unable to congeal.
It turned its head in fear, just to see Scarlett Jennings chanting with one hand, her gaze upon it, saying calmly,
"Your ghost energy extended a bit too much."
The dissipating ghost energy of the Big Ghost shuddered, and its once ambitious head slouched immediately, "Forgive me, I didn’t mean it."
Seeing Scarlett and Emily Hearne acting one after the other, Magnolia Hearne knitted her brows, feeling these two highlighted her own uselessness as a mother, immediately fixed her gaze intensely on the remaining shadow.
The shadow shivered as she looked upon it, and immediately tried to run away.
Magnolia Hearne shouted, "Dare to run?!"
Chanting rapidly with both hands, several spirit light chains flew out. However, before the chains could bind the shadow, a fox tail appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the shadow’s chest.
The abrupt ferocity of the attack stunned everyone present.
Nyxelle Sinclaire, Felix Clark, and the others turned to Scarlett Jennings and Emily Hearne, wanting to know who had acted.
But they found their tails perfectly fine and motionless behind them.
If they hadn’t moved, nor had Magnolia Hearne, then this additional tail was...
"Aaron Hearne!"
Magnolia Hearne identified its owner almost at the instant the fox tail appeared.
Turning her head, she glared at someone not far away.
What kind of person is this?!
Stealing her prey!
This makes her lose face in front of her son!
Then everyone noticed Aaron Hearne had somehow appeared too.
Though Nyxelle Sinclaire didn’t interact with the Demon Clan, she recognized the head of the Mystic Regulation Office.
Couldn’t resist looking again at Donovan Jennings.
Rumor had it he had no contact with his maternal Hearne Clan, but now it seemed the rumors were entirely unreliable.
The Hearne Clan, coupled with Scarlett Jennings, the Heir of Heavenly Path, Donovan Jennings, if he wished to thoroughly control the Security Bureau and Mystical Council, didn’t need outsiders at all.
Thinking of this, Nyxelle Sinclaire only now realized the ridiculousness of her previous "temptation".
It was also at this moment that she finally understood the meaning behind Donovan Jennings’ earlier words.
She didn’t understand him, nor did she understand Scarlett Jennings.
He wanted to be Scarlett’s support,
but in reality, Scarlett was also his support.
Behind him, there always were people.
Not just Scarlett,
but... also them.
