The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 335 A Beautiful Story of a Mystical Creature Repaying a Favor

Chapter 335: Chapter 335 A Beautiful Story of a Mystical Creature Repaying a Favor

Amelia Spring felt a subtle warmth in her heart because of Elizabeth Tucker’s reaction, but what concerned her more at the moment was,

"Why would it play such a joke on me?"

She had helped it before, wasn’t it here to repay her?

Seeing Amelia’s puzzlement, and that of most of the people present, Scarlett Jennings only fell silent for a moment before slowly explaining,

"Mystical Creatures are different from humans, and their perception of good and evil is also different from that of ordinary people."

"There is a folk belief called ’seeking Flood Dragon’, which is similar to making a deal with a weasel. Legend has it that a Flood Dragon wanting to undergo Dragon Transformation will bring thunderstorms, then find a fateful person and ask whether they see a snake or a dragon...

If the person says it’s a dragon, it means the contract is successful; otherwise, it fails.

A Virtuous Flood Dragon would generally choose to repay the kindness after a successful contract, but an Evil Flood Dragon, regardless of success, would choose... to eat the fateful person to settle the karma."

Everyone originally didn’t understand why Scarlett suddenly brought up the story of seeking Flood Dragons until they heard her last remark, and then they all felt chills running down their spines.

Especially Amelia Spring, whose face even turned slightly pale.

Because the Evil Flood Dragon Scarlett spoke of, how similar was it to the Rat Demon she had encountered?

It first approached her claiming to repay a debt, so she naturally assumed it was a good Demon.

But how could the thoughts of a Mystical Creature be understood by ordinary human thinking?

It might not be as malicious as the Evil Flood Dragon mentioned by Scarlett, but it was certainly not virtuous by any means.

So while repaying her, it deliberately chose such a method, intentionally not revealing the truth at the beginning, and afterwards forcibly demanded she not recognize it.

Could these actions, deemed irrational by ordinary people, not be seen as a malicious "joke" from the perspective of the Rat Demon?

For a moment, the audience, who initially heard about the Rat Demon and held some inexplicable expectations of Mystical Creatures repaying kindness, now only felt a chilling sensation.

They had been too presumptuous.

[...At first, I really thought this was a beautiful story of a Mystical Creature repaying a favor.]

[I had just checked my mouse traps at home, thinking that if I caught a mouse’s tail, I could return it, and maybe get a favor from a Mystical Creature...woe is me, now I dare not even think about it, afraid it might "play a joke" on me.]

[I’ve always had a special filter for Mystical Creatures, but this story from Goose Girl has really awakened me.]

[That’s correct, Mystical Creatures inherently have a nature of good and evil, just like humans. Who knows whether the person you casually save will spend a fortune to repay you, or cost you your fortune?]

[Note to self: If you encounter someone who asks during a rainy day whether you see a dragon or a snake, do not answer, just run!]

[Any promises of getting fortunes without work are scams!! Don’t believe them!]

[After Emperor Qin’s money spending, can’t blindly believe in Mystical Creatures repaying favors either... Earth’s schemes are too deep, I want to go back to Mars.]

[Upstairs, I have a direct ticket back to Mars for you, not for one hundred and thirty eight thousand, just thirty eight thousand, guaranteed to send you back to Mars!]

[...Anti-fraud APP has been reported.]

[...Anti-fraud APP has been reported.]

Far away in Sea City, Dashiell was at that moment shrinking in the bathtub, playing video games while sneezing.

"Who?! Who’s badmouthing me?!"

"Hmph! It must be those noobs in the game, just because they can’t beat me, they badmouth me behind my back!"

"My Evil Dragon baby never admits defeat!"

...

At the Tucker Family’s place.

Although Scarlett Jennings and Nathan White speculated about the Rat Demon’s purpose, they had not seen its true form and could not be certain.

Therefore, after gaining Amelia’s agreement, alongside the other guests, Scarlett decided to search for the Rat Demon to also resolve the contract between it and Amelia.

However, following the clues provided by Amelia, the trace of the Rat Demon had already completely disappeared.

Clearly, the other party had already left a long time ago.

Even after making such a "pact" with Amelia Tucker, they had already departed.

This also serves as indirect proof that the other party was merely "joking" with Amelia Tucker.

It’s just that the Rat Demon itself had put that pact out of its mind, while Amelia Tucker, the person concerned, had faithfully abided by it for three years...

How absurd.

Even Amelia Tucker, who was always so rational, couldn’t help but be struck silent by this truth, not wishing to speak for a while.

Scarlett Jennings watched her, thought for a moment, and said,

"I’ve said before that the contract’s power imposed on you was weak. The so-called contract will gradually weaken after one party gives up, and since it was Ms. Tucker herself who discovered the truth and found you, this doesn’t count as you actively breaking the pact."

Scarlett Jennings spoke at an even pace, which made Amelia Tucker, who had been silent and downcast, gradually lift her head, a peculiar light appearing in her eyes.

"You mean..."

Scarlett Jennings’s eyes lightly gleamed, and her lips curled into a gentle smile as she spoke softly,

"What I mean is, you can now rest assured and recognize your mother without worrying about the consequences of breaking the pact."

Even though the Rat Demon had made the pact casually, once a contract is formed, it is activated.

It’s just that the consequences will definitely not be as severe as getting cancer again, at most a minor sickness might occur.

But there’s no need to say that.

And for Amelia Tucker, at the very moment she heard these words from Scarlett Jennings, an uncontrollable brightness burst forth in her eyes.

Those originally somber eyes were now gradually shining with luster.

Elizabeth Tucker, still somewhat unaware, finally caught on and looked toward Amelia Tucker with some anticipation.

Although Elizabeth Tucker still felt awkward, knowing how much Amelia Tucker had silently given for her mother made her genuinely sympathize with her younger sister now.

Especially since their mother had already pointed out the truth earlier, yet she still insisted on calling her teacher.

Elizabeth Tucker originally thought it was just a habit she couldn’t change for a while.

But now it seemed, wasn’t it also because of the fear of violating the pact and causing her mother to fall ill again that she restrained herself from changing her way of addressing?

And now, the words from Scarlett Jennings had dissolved Amelia Tucker’s last reservations.

Amelia Tucker felt a sudden sourness in her nose and, looking again at her mother Elizabeth Tucker, her throat felt choked and hoarse, and after several attempts, finally with everyone’s eyes full of expectation, she managed to call out with a choked and husky voice,

"Mom..."

A call that was twenty-odd years late, now finally able to be addressed to the right person, after crossing mountains and seas.

The scene and the live broadcast audience were once again moved to tears.

Scarlett Jennings was among these people, silently watching the scene as the mother and daughter recognized each other, her almond eyes flickering gently, never revealing much emotion.

After a long moment, she seemed moved, her gaze shifting from the Tucker family inside the house and turning to look outside through the patio doors of the living room.

Outside the villa, beneath the dim streetlight.

There stood a distant figure under the light.

The figure was tall and familiar, even though he stood rigorously.

Despite the distance, she couldn’t make out the person’s face.

But she still recognized the figure.

It was... her dad.

Luca Jennings.

Just like those parents she had seen waiting expectantly at the school gate to pick up their kids after school.

He had also come to pick her up.
