Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1150

Valentino glimpsed at Warren's expression and knew he hadn't accepted his advice. After watching Warren leave, he fished out his phone and answered an incoming call.

"Mr. Bray, I've dealt with it." He paused and continued, "You know, even without your call, I would've done the right thing. It's not a matter where we can act biased.

"I'm just curious why you've suddenly taken interest in the college tournament."

On the other side of the call, Luke pursed his lips, complaining silently, "I wasn't the one who took interest; it was that person. Anyway, because of that kiddo, I've been running around in circles."

For some reason, he felt much busier than before Benjamin returned. Furthermore, with the sudden involvement of the Demon Control Agency, he had a bad feeling about it.

He couldn't shake the sense that they were up to no good, so he had to keep a close eye on them. Anyhow, once the tournament ended, he would make time to meet Shannon.

…

Similarly in deep thought were also the members of Team Demon. After the first round ended, Cornelius, with a cold expression, and his teammates followed the lead youth as they left.

It wasn't until they neared the Demon Control Agency and the other young demons left that the still-gloomy Cornelius piped up. "It was my mistake. I didn't expect her to use that trick. I promise to do better in the second round."

He would find another opportunity to fight Shannon in the next duel.

The lead youth glanced at him and said, "We don't even know what's going to happen in the second round yet. Do as you see fit."

After a pause, he continued, "Also, mind your manners. You won't want to end up like that eliminated Jamboroughian and make a fool of yourself."

Recalling Maya's soot-covered face and frizzy hair, Cornelius instinctively touched his hair and grew solemn. "I won't."

He would never become like that hideous woman.

…

Confused, Kai squeezed in for a better view, only to glance at it and burst into a giggle.

The two locked eyes, resembling peas in a pod. "I'll send it to you, and you'll post it onto MysticApp."

Did that person think her disqualification was the end of everything? Far from it. Scott would make sure to exact revenge on anyone who dared to harm Shannon.

Meanwhile, Kai couldn't have been more thrilled to get involved in something like this. The two of them huddled together, plotting something mischievous.

As the first duel of the college tournament concluded, with the community discussing the match, something strange happened on MysticApp. Suddenly, a set of animated GIFs began circulating.

The GIFs were clearly taken from the broadcast's recording, with the protagonist being none other than Maya.

The animation captured the moment when she arrogantly tossed the talisman, only for the next frame to show her being blown back by the fire thunder talisman, her hair transformed into a wild, explosion-like mess.
