Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Spiritual Affairs Employee Contract Signing
Ivan seemed to know she definitely wouldn’t refuse.
He instantly stood up with a smile, elegantly smoothing the wrinkles of his robe, and casually snapped his fingers at the empty air, as if he’d just thought of something.
"David Allen, come."
Soon, another spatial distortion appeared before her, followed by a document resembling a contract emerging from the void.
Was he afraid she would welch on the deal?
Scarlett Jennings didn’t hesitate, quickly scanning through the contract with her eyes, then gathering a bit of Spiritual Power on her fingertip and pointing it towards the void.
It was akin to stamping a fingerprint; her Spiritual Power was uniquely her own imprint.
The contract was deemed effective.
However, the contract in the void didn’t disappear and continued to float in front of her.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at Ivan and heard him coax with a magnetic tone,
"I’ve heard you’ve awakened demonic power as well. How about stamping it with your demonic power too, for double security?"
Scarlett Jennings knew this person had been planning all along.
She had heard before about the unsuccessful liaison between Spiritual Affairs and the Mystic Regulation Office. Knowing she had joined the Mystic Regulation Office and awakened demonic power, he wanted her to act as a mediator to help Spiritual Affairs open the demon kind segment.
Indeed, this person never engaged in a losing venture.
Since she had agreed, Scarlett Jennings went ahead and stamped the contract with her demonic power, making the contract officially signed.
"Now can you go help me bring people back?"
Ivan was delighted to have signed a stellar employee so smoothly, his enchanting yet eerie face becoming even more captivating, simply saying,
"Welcome to Spiritual Affairs~ As the boss, it’s only right to fulfill requests from employees. Just wait and see."
With that, he turned around, raising his hand to the void where a door suddenly appeared before them.
Ivan opened the door and walked in decisively.
The ornately carved door creaked shut, and Ivan’s figure completely vanished from the room.
Only when she couldn’t see his figure anymore did Scarlett Jennings show a bit of solemnity.
She was certain Ivan was human.
Yet, he was also the "benefactor" who sheltered Sebastian for ten lifetimes.
A man who retained his memories throughout ten reincarnations, while also being the hidden boss behind Spiritual Affairs, with close connections to the Underworld...
Scarlett Jennings had a strong intuition that Ivan’s true identity was far beyond what he had shown.
Most likely, he was even from the Underworld...
As for the specifics of who he was, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t guess, nor did she care to guess.
Since she’s already boarded the pirate ship, his true identity will one day come to light.
Thinking this, Scarlett Jennings was not worried that anything would happen to Amber Livingston.
Looking at the room before her, she suddenly seemed to recall something and asked the void,
"David Allen, is it Ivan’s arrangement for you to appear after the filming starts?"
She had previously felt that the appearance of the Ghost Tower was somewhat abrupt.
The Ghost Tower was recently exposed online, and the production team suddenly changed the show plan. Not long after filming started on her side, the Ghost Tower appeared right then, taking Ariel Zimmerman and Amber Livingston away.
They suspected the Ghost Tower appeared on foggy rain days; almost as soon as they prayed for foggy rain on their side, it appeared again.
Combining this with Ivan’s role as the behind-the-scenes boss, it’s hard not to suspect the appearance of the Ghost Tower was deliberately arranged by Ivan.
More importantly, he seemed like someone capable of such actions.
There was no response within the room, yet Scarlett Jennings could clearly sense David Allen’s presence.
Thus, she spoke again,
"David Allen, I know you’re here."
David Allen still didn’t respond, but the next moment, the enormous display screen in the room, dark earlier, whooshed back to life, once again showing the scene from the live broadcast.
It was David Allen letting go of the power that had previously blocked her personal camera.
Could this be considered a response on another level?
Thinking this, Scarlett Jennings saw the live broadcast room start an insane screen swipe when the display screen was restored.
Before this, the broadcast room abruptly went dark; the viewers waited a long time, finally waiting for the camera to return to normal.
Yet, after regaining capture, the room in the footage was clearly different from before the blackout.
First! The charming guy was gone!
Secondly! Amber Livingston and Elysia Xander were found!
However, the state of the two was evidently somewhat odd.
[Did Lucienne Xander get captured again by her daughter? How did she get caught? What happened?]
[More curious, why is there a turtle on her head?]
[I recognize this turtle. It’s the Immortal Turtle kept by her daughter!]
[Amber Livingston’s appearance also seems strange, uh... like a fox?]
[His appearance is a bit like when Cedric Wilder was previously possessed by an Immortal! Is he possessed by an Immortal too?!]
Among the surprising comments naturally came the skeptical ones.
[Pretending! It’s all an act! They saw Cedric Wilder possessed by an Immortal and got inspiration, always doing this trick, isn’t it annoying.]
[Already exposed as phony and supernatural, pretending further indeed holds no interest, better to be a proper host’s accessory.]
A few of Amber Livingston’s detractors took the chance to once again accuse him of constantly deceiving the audience.
Given the large display screen, Elena Hamilton could naturally see the content of the comments as well.
She instantly narrowed her eyes.
She knew Amber Livingston had been disgracefully pretending to worship an out-of-body fairy online before.
For his deceitful and ghostly acts, Granny Hamilton was quite dissatisfied.
However, her dissatisfaction aside, seeing these mocking words online, Granny was somewhat vexed.
The past is the past.
Why shouldn’t people get to live their dreams?
Still preoccupied with Amber Livingston’s yet-to-be-recovered soul aperture, Granny couldn’t help but want to prove something for the kid.
After pondering, she spoke again towards Scarlett Jennings,
"Madam, Amber Livingston is now my proper disciple. If I want to prove it for him during the broadcast, will there be any trouble?"
Seeing Granny’s earnest inquiry, Scarlett Jennings simply replied,
"No."
She paused and added, "Just mind the extent."
The broadcast room was fascinated by the elderly woman’s voice coming from Amber Livingston, along with his talk of proper discipleship, leading many to wonder if Amber Livingston had truly gotten some opportunity to become a genuine out-of-body fairy disciple.
Yet still, there were unbelievers.
[Fake! Just voice modification!]
[Pretending just like the real thing, and Scarlett Jennings isn’t debunking him either?]
[Ha-ha, I’d like to see how you will prove it.]
[Same here, push the limits, I’m bold, not afraid.]
Seeing the last comment, Elena Hamilton’s eyes narrowed slightly before seeming to relax.
Since someone is asking, there’s nothing to fear.
Thus, the live audience saw "Amber Livingston" face Scarlett Jennings, eyes fixed on the camera before her chest, then slowly crack a foxy smile.
The smile brought an odd creepiness to everyone watching, suddenly widening bit by bit.
In the blink of an eye, the face before them turned into a bona fide fox face.
Next second, the fox face lunged at the camera like a suddenly approaching ferocious beast, instantly magnified on everyone’s screens.
That day, quite a few people before the live broadcast dropped their phones in fright.
[Oh my gosh!!!!]
This here is a real fox!
