Chapter 748: Chapter 748: Suspicion
The fame and skills of Scarlett Jennings, even the movie star John Dawn has heard about them.
He had previously watched a video of her using mystical techniques to help someone and thought she was a pretty good master.
But after seeing her in person today, he was truly disappointed.
This Scarlett Jennings, relying on her skills, actually let her ghost servant bully people in public like that!
If fans previously consoled themselves that John Dawn stood up only because he couldn’t stand seeing girls being bullied, his blatant protective posture and questioning tone now inevitably led them to overthink.
Many girlfriend fans felt a sense of breaking up on the spot, but more loyal fans still believed in their brother, even standing in the same camp as him, feeling that Scarlett Jennings was indeed bullying someone just now.
As the saying goes, beat someone but not in the face.
As a master, letting a big ghost slap a peer’s face is really too low.
Ariel Zimmerman and Amber Livingston didn’t expect that this person, well and good, would actually target Scarlett.
As former companions, the two couldn’t possibly let John Dawn lead the narrative like that, so without thinking, they stood up.
Ariel Zimmerman said,
"If I’m not mistaken, it was Lucienne Xander who first attacked Scarlett’s big ghost sister, so Scarlett suggested that the big ghost sister and Lucienne Xander have a fair fight.
The whole process was broadcast live, she didn’t even make a move, how did it become her bullying others?"
Amber Livingston also said,
"Everyone knows thunder restrains the sinister, when Lucienne Xander used the thunder talisman from the start, her intent was to destroy the big ghost completely.
You didn’t say she was bullying the ghost then, and now she got hit twice without getting hurt and you call that bullying her, isn’t that a bit double standard?"
John Dawn frowned at the two of them,
"You also said, that was a ghost, what’s wrong with Lucienne Xander, as a master, killing a ghost?"
Sophie Harper was really infuriated.
After finally venting out with a few slaps, another fool showed up, she couldn’t be bothered anymore, her ghost body expanded, glaring at John Dawn, she said ominously,
"Do ghosts not have ghost rights?! It’s not wrong for her to kill ghosts, then by your logic, should I just kill her directly?
Slapping her twice is bullying, do you want to see what it’s really like when I bully someone seriously?"
Her tone was sinister, the rising ghost energy made her figure appear more solid and dangerous.
Although John Dawn was an ordinary person, he knew there would be many supernatural events on this show, but facing a big ghost still made his heart pound.
However, thinking of the person in his arms, he forced himself to stay calm and not show his fear, though he didn’t dare to confront Sophie Harper directly, and instead turned to Scarlett Jennings,
"Scarlett Jennings, are you just going to indulge your ghost servant like this? Won’t you stop her if she kills someone?"
Many times, people only dare to be aggressive towards those who are reasonable, but not towards truly dangerous beings.
And obviously, in John Dawn’s eyes, Scarlett Jennings was the one who had to be reasonable.
Scarlett Jennings looked at John Dawn for a moment and only asked him,
"Who are you?"
Everyone: ...
Pfft.
Anthony Anson was the first to laugh out loud.
When people around him looked his way, he just chuckled without a care.
Others didn’t dare to laugh because they feared John Dawn’s status as an actor.
But Anthony Anson... he was from the Anson family; his mother was Brianna Jennings, he was half a Jennings family member, he’s really not afraid of anyone.
Perhaps seeing him laugh, the little monkey demon not far off tilted its head, mimicking him, and covered its mouth with a pfft.
The atmosphere at the scene inexplicably became very delicate due to these out-of-place laughs.
John Dawn’s ears turned red.
Since he became famous, he really hasn’t encountered such a situation where he was laughed at face to face.
But the ones laughing at him, he couldn’t retaliate against any of them.
Anthony Anson was one thing, but that monkey demon looked strange.
Scarlett Jennings wasn’t deliberately mocking him; she was genuinely curious.
What status did John Dawn have to say these things to her?
As a guest, he had no interaction with her.
As a mundane, he didn’t understand mystical sect regulations and had no right to comment.
Scarlett Jennings also had no intention of arguing with him about issues between mystical sect and ghost cultivators, it wasn’t necessary, she just directly looked at Lucienne Xander in John Dawn’s arms and asked her,
"Lucienne Xander, do you also think that the competition just now was unfair and was intentional bullying against you?"
She didn’t wait for Lucienne Xander to answer and continued,
"Or would you like to compete again, this time directly with me?"
Upon hearing this, Lucienne Xander’s hand hanging at her side gripped tightly all of a sudden.
She hadn’t expected to be suddenly shielded when it happened.
She didn’t expect this person to suddenly rush over to protect her, nor did she think he would stand up for her.
However, what he did, didn’t really move her.
Taking a deep breath, Lucienne Xander pushed John Dawn away in front of her, looked at him with a haughty coldness,
"Thank you for protecting me just now, but next time, please don’t do unnecessary actions."
As she spoke, Lucienne Xander turned towards Scarlett Jennings, stood a bit straighter, and said,
"Losing is losing, I have no words."
Looking at her attitude, John Dawn was initially stunned, and after a while, lowered his gaze slightly but forced a smile,
"I didn’t understand the situation, I apologize."
As a movie star, this stance was so humble it left everyone dumbfounded.
Fans in the live stream almost felt heartbroken.
Those who had just helped John Dawn denounce Scarlett Jennings immediately redirected their complaints to Lucienne Xander.
[Kindness treated as donkey’s liver and lungs! It’s a shame he protected her like that just now!]
[You’re aloof, you’re amazing, just don’t let him protect you then!]
[He helped you just now and you stayed silent, what are you pretending to be now, a cold white lotus!]
The comments were all criticizing and scolding her, but it instead evoked the dissatisfaction of some bystander viewers, even finding Lucienne Xander’s initiative to admit losing very graceful, acknowledging defeat.
In contrast, it was the movie star’s previous unexamined pursuit that seemed more unreasonable and senseless.
The online voices always change and reverse without any warning.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t pay attention to these, after finishing a confrontation, there was no need to stay.
Taking the little monkey demon with her, she directly bade farewell to the show crew, disappearing completely from the live stream.
Just before leaving, she turned her head and looked deeply at Lucienne Xander.
Before, there was only a strange feeling through the screen.
Now facing her directly, that feeling became clearer, even... she seemed to see the shadow of someone on Lucienne Xander.
But that person had long been sealed with all spiritual power, neither their appearance nor aura matched that of Lucienne Xander in front.
Recalling the flash of familiar black mist she sensed from Lucienne Xander moments ago.
Although it vanished instantly, Scarlett Jennings didn’t believe these were mere coincidences or illusions.
Thinking about it, she directly dialed Gregory Xander’s number,
"Gregory Xander, can you find out any current news on Elysia Xander?"
