Chapter 22 -22 Fooling People, She’s Good at It Too
The more Old Mrs. Silva looked at Scarlett Garrison, the more suspicious she became.
“She’s so young, what could she possibly do? Luna, have you been tricked again?”
She said, looking at Mrs. Silva with eyes full of doubt.
Mrs. Silva’s face darkened a bit, “Mom, even though Master Jennings is young, she’s genuinely talented. Please don’t speak carelessly.”
Don’t upset her.
Old Mrs. Silva pursed her lips, not believing that such a young girl could have any real skill.
Just a smooth talker.
So what if Luna is well-educated? She’s still no match for me when it comes to judging people.
Fortunately, she invited other masters beforehand; otherwise, relying on this little girl would be hopeless.
Indeed, this family still depended on her.
The old lady wanted to take down the young girl’s pride, so she looked at Scarlett, “You say you have real skills? Show them then.”
You don’t have to do much, but at least wield a sword like a master, right?
“Mom!” Mrs. Silva was genuinely a bit upset, fearing that the old lady’s attitude might offend Scarlett. She quickly turned to Scarlett and said,
“Master Jennings, I apologize sincerely. Please don’t mind her.”
Scarlett didn’t mind, nodded at Mrs. Silva, and then walked past the old lady and the master who was performing the ritual, heading toward the bed.
From the moment she entered, she noticed Andrea Silva lying on the bed.
No matter how chaotic the room was, she still showed no signs of waking up.
The master had been watching the scene from the corner of his eye since the group entered, but couldn’t stop as he was still “performing a ritual.” He acted as though he was unaffected by the outside world, continuing his act.
It wasn’t until he saw Scarlett walking to the bed that he sharply yelled,
“Don’t come near! You’ll disrupt my magic!”
Scarlett slightly turned her head at his words, just glanced at him, then continued to turn away, pulling Andrea Silva’s hand closer for a detailed look.
Seeing Scarlett disregard his warning, the master immediately showed anger, abruptly stopped the ritual, and turned to Old Mrs. Silva, freёwebnoѵel.com
“Mrs. Silva! What is going on here? Didn’t I say no interruptions during the ritual?”
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Silva also showed discontent and quickly apologized to the master, “Master Loo, I sincerely apologize. I’ll have them leave right away.”
She said as she turned and glared at Scarlett, ready to ask them to leave, but saw Scarlett already releasing Andrea’s hand, turning directly to Master Loo, her clear eyes void of emotion as she simply asked,
“Master Loo, since you’ve set up the altar, I assume you’ve determined what problem Miss Silva has?”
Master Loo just snorted at her question, “Miss Silva attracted a ghost, and I was just trying to drive it away. Yet you ignored my advice and interrupted my spell, allowing the ghost to escape in the chaos!”
The implication was that the failed ritual and Miss Silva’s inability to wake up were entirely her fault.
It had nothing to do with him.
