Chapter 666: Chapter 666: A Fight? I’m Not Very Good at Fighting…
The Floral Serpent moved extremely quickly, assuming a pouncing posture, causing both their hearts to leap up instantly.
Until a loud bang reverberated.
The Floral Serpent’s entire body crashed heavily against the thick glass, sliding down to the ground with unwillingness and pain.
At the same time, an array seemed to be triggered in the basement, mercilessly absorbing the Demon Energy the Floral Serpent had painstakingly gathered once again.
…
Scarlett Jennings originally planned to take the Serpent Demon to find his wife’s whereabouts the next day.
However, through the Snake Egg’s sensing, she found the serpent mother’s vitality was gradually weakening, so without delay for rest, she brought the Serpent Demon and Jasmine Hamilton over overnight.
After spending some time, they finally stopped in front of a renowned wealthy villa district in the suburbs.
The villa district was strictly managed, with ordinary vehicles not allowed inside.
Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment and called Luca Jennings.
Luca Jennings knew she was out working late, and upon hearing about the villa district, he said,
“I don’t have a house over there, but I bought a villa for your grandmother in that area. I’ll inform them.”
Luca Jennings said this and temporarily hung up, but after a few minutes, he called back again and reminded her,
“I’ve notified them over there. If you’re busy until late, don’t run back and forth, just rest in that villa. It’s regularly cleaned and maintained, and everything is fully equipped.”
Although Scarlett Jennings didn’t plan on staying at her grandmother’s villa, she obediently acknowledged.
After hanging up, the property management allowed them to pass, and the driver followed Scarlett Jennings’ instructions, taking them straight to a detached villa inside.
Getting out of the car, as soon as Scarlett Jennings set foot on the villa’s land, she felt something unusual.
This unusual feeling wasn’t Shadow Energy or Demon Energy, but a kind of inexplicable discord.
Though she couldn’t see through it at a glance, she was sure that there was indeed something wrong with this villa.
…
Inside the villa, the middle-aged man, Landon Lester, who was the owner of the villa, was currently admiring his collection in another room.
This collection room housed all kinds of snake specimens, and besides these, there were items made from snake skin and snake bones.
He loved snakes, especially collecting various patterned ones.
The Floral Serpent in the basement was captured accidentally by someone below and sent to him. From the first look, he liked it and immediately ordered it brought over.
He had waited for nearly half a year, putting in a lot of effort.
Landon Lester couldn’t wait to tame the Floral Serpent and take it to show off in his circle of snake-loving friends.
He was admiring it alone when the security at the door reported someone visiting.
Landon Lester was perplexed; this villa was bought solely for keeping snakes.
Because his family was afraid of snakes, this place was usually visited only by himself or friends from the snake-keeping circle.
Even those friends would notify him beforehand.
Landon Lester couldn’t understand who would visit so late at night.
Upon hearing that the visitor was the Jennings Family’s recently found daughter, he felt a slight unease.
After all, this lady from the Jennings Family was most famous for her mystical abilities.
Although puzzled, he courteously invited them in.
Seeing that there were more than one visitors, Landon Lester was a bit displeased, but still smiled,
“Ah, it’s Miss Jennings. I’ve met your father a few times, but is there something wrong for you to visit at this late hour?”
He smiled warmly, but Scarlett Jennings’ gaze shifted from his face to the bone bracelet on his wrist.
It was a bracelet made from small snake bones, perhaps due to frequent handling, every joint of the snake bones emitted a polished, bony luster.
Scarlett Jennings disliked such things, while Rose Spencer stared at it with reddened eyes.
The snake bone clearly came from a snake less than two months old, and having her own Snake Egg, Rose Spencer often imagined her Snake Treasure hatching and couldn’t bear to look at such things.
At this moment, she concluded that this was indeed the human who kidnapped her precious Panpan.
Thinking that Panpan might suffer the same fate as this snake bone at the hands of this pervert, Rose Spencer couldn’t help but feel a madness rising in her.
The demon energy unconsciously leaked from her body, and sensing something wrong with her emotions, Scarlett Jennings was about to stop her when in the next second, she saw the demon energy from the Serpent Demon being sucked away as if by something, and the demon weakened instantly.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Scarlett Jennings’ eyes, and she suddenly turned to look at Landon Lester, seeing he was as calm as ever, with a few curious looks at Rose Spencer.
Obviously, he had no special abilities.
So the problem must still lie in this villa.
Without hesitation, Scarlett Jennings directly stated her purpose,
“I’m here today mainly representing the Mystical Security Bureau, to ask Mr. Lester to return a snake.”
Upon hearing that she was here to demand a snake, Landon Lester’s eyes flickered slightly, but he still smiled,
“What Security Bureau? I know Miss Jennings enjoys dabbling in mystical arts? But coming over late to demand a snake, isn’t Miss Jennings taking the Lester Family too lightly?”
He spoke, slightly straightening his face,
“Out of respect for your father, I won’t fuss, but Miss Jennings should take your people and leave quickly, or else I’ll call security.”
While speaking, he prepared to see them off, and the two bodyguards at the door moved a step closer, eyeing them menacingly.
Seeing this, Scarlett Jennings said nothing further, directly pulling out her Security Bureau credentials.
“I’ve explained the situation. Since Mr. Lester refuses to cooperate, I have no choice but to follow the Bureau’s regulations and forcibly search the residence.”
Only after joining the Security Bureau did Scarlett Jennings learn that the police can forcibly search with warrant given evidence and clues, but the Security Bureau has special authority to search without evidence or a prior search warrant.
After all, what mystics see and sense is evidence.
The Mystic Regulation Office operates similarly.
So, in the instant Scarlett Jennings finished speaking, Rose Spencer had already impatiently dashed inside to search, and Dashiell quickly followed.
Landon Lester had not yet reacted when people rushed downstairs.
His face turned extremely unsightly, angrily yelling at Scarlett Jennings,
“Scarlett Jennings! This is trespassing! It’s illegal! Don’t think just because the Jennings Family is behind you, you can do as you please!”
While saying this, he angrily ordered the bodyguards,
“What are you standing there for?! Throw them out!”
The two bodyguards immediately stepped forward to grab them, but Scarlett Jennings calmly signaled to Jasmine Hamilton,
“Can you fight?”
Jasmine Hamilton looked a bit embarrassed, “I’m not very good at it…”
However, as the bodyguards reached for them, Jasmine Hamilton quickly restrained one and simultaneously kicked the other flying with one foot.
After doing this, she softly added to Scarlett Jennings,
“But, handling one or two humans is manageable.”
Scarlett Jennings: …
She looked at the bodyguard who had a painful expression with one arm held by Jasmine Hamilton, silent in her mind.
It seems that this “not very good” only applied to her own Demon Clan peers.
Against humans,
Well, indeed, manageable.
