Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 149 - 146: Emergency Family Meeting

Susanna frowned slightly. What was wrong with these people? Didn’t they see she was still giving a speech?

How could they have no noble manners at all?

Cherry and Glennan exchanged a glance, also finding it strange.

Just as Glennan was about to speak up to draw everyone’s attention back, Cromwell suddenly rushed over from not far away.

"Father! Father! Something bad has happened! You have to check Planet Surfing! Josh is on the news!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Glennan’s face changed, his heart slowly sinking to the bottom. His first reaction was that Josh had finally embarrassed himself onto the news, starting to tarnish the reputation of the Augustine family!

Cherry quickly opened Planet Surfing as well.

The trending page was flooded with Josh’s name.

Moments later, both of their eyes showed a uniform look of shock.

Cherry couldn’t hide her surprise: "How is this possible?"

Josh?! 17 years old?! Awakened Beastification?

Wasn’t she just F-level?

She had never heard of an F-level Spiritual Power User being able to awaken Beastification, especially while still underage.

Even the most outstanding children on the Federation Planet are said to awaken Beastification at the age of 18 after reaching adulthood.

How could Josh possibly...

No way!

Cherry turned pale, suddenly recalling a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Mysterious Guild while organizing the ball in the evening.

She hadn’t thought much of it and hung up as soon as she heard Josh’s name...

Could it be she really awakened Beastification? That’s impossible!

How could an F-level Spiritual Power User possibly awaken Beastification?

This is something absolutely absurd!

Besides, don’t they know what Josh is like?

A child raised on the Garbage Planet, full of mischief and darkness!

To the ambitious Cherry, Josh was just a blemish!

Bringing her back from the Garbage Planet was just to show the Augustine family’s generosity and kindness; they never even considered her a real person!

A relative couldn’t help but speak up: "Cherry, isn’t this the daughter you brought back a year ago?"

"Is it? She looks kind of like her but not quite? The person in the photo looks way better than the savage from the Garbage Planet, doesn’t she?"

"Probably a mistake, right? Just happened to have the same name?"

Cherry couldn’t smile, she gave Glennan a look.

After dismissing the relatives, Glennan urgently called for a family meeting.

Cherry and the three children were all downstairs by the fireplace in the living room.

What was bright and lively just a moment ago was now eerily quiet and gloomy, with only the warm flickering light from the fireplace.

Cherry felt somewhat guilty: "Previously, someone from the Mysterious Guild called, but I was busy preparing for the ball and hung up in a hurry. I didn’t really hear what they were saying."

She was eager to distance herself, afraid of angering her husband due to her negligence.

Deep down, she didn’t want this to be true.

More than anyone, she didn’t want Josh to succeed, as it would slap her in the face, proving her judgment wrong.

If Josh truly were a genius Spiritual Power User, she couldn’t imagine how angry her husband would be, realizing that she had tossed a genius child to Garbage Planet for over a decade while adopting a daughter unrelated by blood for the same duration.

Glennan’s face didn’t look good: "Call them back immediately and ask what happened!"

Cherry felt a bit helpless: "I just called, but it showed as an empty number."

Susan couldn’t describe her current mood, numbly explaining: "Large guilds have defense systems, and outside numbers can’t get through to avoid being tracked to the guild’s exact location."

Cherry secretly sighed with relief, glad the call couldn’t go through.

Glennan looked grim: "No matter what, with the internet full of rumors, we need to get to the bottom of this!"

Cromwell was a bit disdainful: "I think it’s fake news. How could it be real? Besides, Josh ran away from home to distance herself from us and went to the Mysterious Guild without your permission."

Dalton chimed in beside him, adding fuel to the fire: "Exactly, isn’t she trying to embarrass you? If others find out she entered the Mysterious Guild without your authorization, our family will be utterly disgraced!"

Nobles value bloodline, male superiority, and patriarchy, and Josh’s actions were a slap in Glennan’s face.

Glennan wished to remove this daughter from the family record!

But this news...

The more Cherry thought about it, the more impossible it seemed: "Actually, I think this might not be true. Recently, when the Mysterious Guild announced her as a new team member, the entire interstellar network was outraged. Even the guild’s reputation was damaged. It’s possible they’re staging this to restore their reputation."

Susan’s eyes lit up: "I think mother is right! The guild values its reputation greatly and would definitely beautify Josh’s image to calm the public. Otherwise, how much anger would those rejected by the Mysterious Guild feel if such a waste entered their first team?"

The more they thought about it, the more it made sense.

They knew Josh’s character better than anyone.

An F-level Spiritual Power User raised on Garbage Planet, practically a waste, couldn’t possibly awaken Beastification.

After a round of discussions, everyone felt reassured and dispersed.

After the meeting, Glennan reminded Susan: "When you return, ask around inside the guild to find out if this is true."

"Okay, daddy." Susan nodded obediently.

After Cherry’s reminder, Susan became much more subdued.

At night.

Before bed, Cherry discussed Susan’s situation with Glennan again, "I think we need to come up with a way to control her somehow, otherwise, in a place like the Eden Garden Guild, Susan might develop other ideas."

Glennan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "You’re right, we need to think of a way to control her. We’ve invested too many resources in her to let her entertain lofty aspirations of leaving our family."

Cherry thought for a while, her eyes lighting up: "I have an idea. I heard the Military Department has a device that controls minds, which can be implanted in military dogs and other animals to control them for combat."

Glennan frowned slightly: "Will it work on humans?"

Cherry gave him a sidelong glance: "Do you really think they’d spend so much money developing something just for animals? It’s just against humanitarian principles, so the Military District doesn’t dare to use it openly. I’ve heard most frontline soldiers have this in their brains."

Glennan nodded slightly: "I’ll look into it tomorrow to see if it’s feasible. If it is, we could definitely use it on Susan."

Cherry added: "Actually, I have another method."

Glennan looked at her with surprise: "What method?"

Cherry said: "Let Cromwell marry her. Once she has a child, I don’t believe she won’t consider Cromwell."

Glennan nodded: "That could work as well."

Having come up with satisfactory plans, the two finally lay down to rest.
