Chapter 629: Chapter 629: The Last Arrangement for Elysia Xander

Peaceful City.

Elysia Xander stood in a seventy-square-meter semi-new rental apartment, looking expressionlessly at the middle-aged man across from her as he placed a bank card on the table.

“The house rent has been paid for six months, and it’s fully furnished. If you don’t like it here, you can find another place later on.

Besides, there are two million in this card. The Family Head gave it to you. You can use it for a small business or investment if you want.”

The middle-aged man instructed, taking one last look at Elysia Xander,

“This is the last arrangement from the Family Head for you. From now on, live your life well.”

Hearing this, Elysia Xander finally showed a reaction, looking at the middle-aged man with reddened eyes,

“The Family Head… will really not care for me anymore?”

The middle-aged man didn’t speak, just stared at her intently, the meaning clear.

A bitter smile spread instantly across Elysia Xander’s lips, then she glanced around the small two-bedroom apartment, with a tone of mockery,

“The last arrangement for me, should I thank him for it?”

Sealing all her spiritual power, exiling her from the Mystical Sect, driving her out of the Capital Metropolitan.

In the future, she could only stay in such a small house, like all ordinary people, working hard every day to make money, living the rest of a dull and flavorless life?

The middle-aged man heard her words and frowned slightly, unable to resist saying,

“You violated a taboo of the Mystical Sect, let the Undying Bone escape, and being expelled from the Mystical Sect was actually the result of the Family Head’s efforts to mediate. What more do you want?”

As he spoke, he looked deeply at Elysia Xander again, as if hating iron for not becoming steel,

“Knowing this would happen, why did you do what you did in the first place… Think about it yourself!”

With that, the man said no more and turned to leave.

It wasn’t until the sound of the rental apartment’s door being slammed shut reached her ears that Elysia Xander snapped out of her ashamed and angry daze and grabbed the bank card on the table, pretending to throw it away.

However, until her hand trembled slightly from exerting too much force, she still didn’t throw the card away.

Instead, she slumped wearily onto the sofa beside her.

Even now, she couldn’t accept that she had been expelled from the Mystical Sect.

“…How did it come to this? I’m not resigned…”

She mumbled to herself, sitting dumbfounded on the sofa for a long time, until the room was completely engulfed by darkness.

Elysia Xander looked at the room that had unknowingly fallen into darkness, for a moment accepted her fate, and got up to turn on the light.

However, as soon as she pressed the light switch, with a crackle, it went out.

Elysia Xander’s expression turned grim once again.

Making her live in such a small house was one thing, but it’s also a broken house.

She had been at the Xander Family since childhood, not even needing to serve her own meals, let alone change a light bulb.

Now the light was broken, and she didn’t even know whom to ask for repairs.

While she was stewing in frustration, suddenly, she felt the temperature in the room begin to drop, and shortly after, a drop of water fell on her head.

Instinctively, she looked up, and was suddenly met by a pair of eyes on the ceiling.

Elysia Xander’s pupils shrank suddenly, and overhead, the entire head and body of the blue-white, soaked female ghost emerged from the ceiling as soon as their eyes met, her mouth opened, her voice eerie and cold,

“You can see me…”

Elysia Xander stepped back abruptly, instinctively trying to grasp a talisman to ward off the ghost, but as soon as she moved, she remembered she had no spiritual power anymore.

She had no choice but to abandon the idea of exterminating the ghost and quickly recited the Golden Light Spell instead.

Even though she lost her spiritual power, the Golden Light Spell could still deter evil spirits when recited by an ordinary person.

“Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect, all essence returns to the root, cultivate thousands of tribulations, attain my divine skills, within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Way is revered…”

Sure enough, as she chanted, the female ghost’s actions noticeably hesitated.

Just when Elysia Xander thought it had some effect, she saw the ghost suddenly appear to be enraged, her body filled with ghost energy, her expression towards Elysia turning malicious,

“Were you sent by him to deal with me too?! Why do you all side with that scumbag?! Accomplices! You are all accomplices in my death!”

She shrieked sharply, her entire soul body suddenly lunging at Elysia Xander.

Even though Elysia quickly chanted the protective Golden Light Spell, she couldn’t fend off the female ghost’s sudden surge of evil qi.

Soon, she collapsed to the ground as if suffocating, clutching her throat.

Clearly, nothing was on the ground, but Elysia Xander felt as though water was continually pouring into her mouth, nose, and chest, compressing her lungs, making it impossible to breathe.

She lay on the floor, convulsing, as her struggles slowly formed a puddle of water beneath her.

The puddle beneath Elysia continued to expand until it formed a small pool beneath her, and Elysia lay in the pool as if she might drown.

She stared intensely at the door, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

Was she really going to die like this?

She refused.

How could she die at the hands of such a small evil ghost?

Such a ghost, she could have easily obliterated it with a flick of her hand in the past, but now…

If it weren’t for Preston Xander sealing her spiritual power, if it weren’t for their ruthless actions against her, how could she have ended up bullied by a small evil ghost with not even a shred of defense…

All because of Preston Xander, all because of them!

She hated them!

With her chest compressed, unable to breathe, Elysia Xander’s eyes reddened as she hopelessly closed her eyes.

In the next instant, she heard a click.

The door of the rental apartment was pushed open, light pouring in from the corridor.

Elysia Xander struggled to open her eyes and saw at the door, a pair of black leather boots stepping in from outside.

Click, click, click, pacing slowly and unhurriedly towards her.

…

Meanwhile, in the Capital Metropolitan.

Scarlett Jennings looked at Simon, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, the two almost staring each other eye to eye.

After the academy’s grand comparison farewell banquet ended, Scarlett Jennings had thought through her matters with Samuel Chalmers.

So right after the banquet, she went to the address Samuel Chalmers had left for her.

Yes, although Scarlett didn’t answer back then, in order to prevent him from suddenly “vanishing,” she had him leave his Capital Metropolitan address.

It wasn’t too far from the villa Donovan Jennings had arranged, but there was some distance.

Perhaps he didn’t expect Scarlett’s “consideration” to take less than a night, so when she appeared at the door, neither Samuel Chalmers nor Simon within the house expected it.

Scarlett Jennings unexpectedly came face to face with Simon.

“Who are you?”

As Scarlett Jennings said this, one hand instinctively pressed onto her portable Hundred Objects Box.

Even though she didn’t know who he was.

Scarlett Jennings knew, the person across obviously wasn’t human.

Thinking of Samuel Chalmers in the house, Scarlett Jennings instantly made a connection—

Was this another one coming for Samuel Chalmers’ “Golden Light”??

Moreover, it seemed Samuel Chalmers’ fading Golden Light was also related to this “person” in front of her?

Scarlett Jennings didn’t hide her wariness, and seeing her actions, Simon raised his eyebrows slightly,

“Oh? Is this a challenge for a fight?”

That would be good.

Fighting was what he was best at.
