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. 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. It was just that, perhaps due to the lighting, the photos taken of Samuel’s face, whether frontal or side, were strangely blurry. Completely unaware of all this, once Scarlett was brought into the car by Samuel, sitting in the comfortable seat, some exhaustion finally showed on her. Closing her eyes, she earnestly absorbed the refined Spiritual Energy inside the vehicle belonging to Samuel. Not far from the edge of the square, Ava Zimmerman watched as Scarlett got into the car and left, her eyes cold, devoid of the joy from earlier when she saw her. Turning, she looked at Azura Loomis beside her, her voice raspy like torn cloth and carrying a tinge of cold anger, “Where’s the system you mentioned?” Hearing Ava’s voice, Azura couldn’t help but shrink a bit, only to speak with grievance, “I really sensed it moving in our direction just now, but for some reason, it didn’t respond to me, and later, it suddenly vanished.” As she spoke, Azura bit her lip in indignant frustration, “I suspect... it has bound itself with one of the players on site.” As a former host, Azura had always vaguely been connected with the system and hadn’t completely cut ties. That’s why she could locate the system’s position. But now, this sudden void feeling could only mean the system had found a new host, completely severing its connection with her. She had indeed been abandoned by the system! Even when the system detached from her before, Azura believed it would return to her. Once it came back, she could revert to her old self. But now, she had nothing. And this was all because of Scarlett Jennings. Scarlett Jennings... that bitch! She definitely wouldn’t let this go. With venomous thoughts in her heart, Azura suddenly received a slap on her face, quickly raising her eyes to see Ava coldly staring at her, “Useless.” Saying that, Ava turned and walked away without even acknowledging Azura behind her. Watching Ava’s back, Azura hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed her. Even though Ava was a demon, there was nowhere else Azura could go without her and she might well end up being taken away by the Security Bureau. Besides, Ava had special abilities, and Azura thought she might use Ava to exact revenge on Scarlett Jennings. She couldn’t leave her just yet. ... On the other side, Scarlett didn’t slowly open her eyes until the car stopped, seeing it was parked in front of the Chalmers Family’s residence. Somewhat puzzled, she looked at Samuel. Samuel simply said, “Your injuries would frighten your family. Besides, recovering your Spiritual Power next to me would be quicker.” Hearing this, Scarlett understood and found it reasonable, so she nodded and alighted from the car with him. The butler, having received word when the car entered the villa gates, hurried over. Seeing Samuel alight from the car with Scarlett, he was puzzled— When did the young master leave? And he brought Miss Scarlett back. As he was pondering, he heard Samuel instruct, “Arrange for her to stay here tonight.” Upon hearing this, the butler stumbled, but his professional demeanor helped him gather himself without an embarrassing fall. He even managed to maintain the most professional smile, calmly nodding in response, “Alright, I’ll arrange it right away.” Saying this, he turned, his expression wildly altered. His face was full of excitement and disbelief. Spread the word, the young master intends for Miss Scarlett to stay over tonight!! This is too sudden. He was completely unprepared!! Where are his champagne, candles, and rose petals?! Quick, find them! Quick!
