Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1235

When Shannon returned to the ballroom this time, she was no longer mobbed by everyone's poaching. Instead, they seemed to have come to a tacit understanding.

Hector had also heard about the incident on the first floor. Since Shannon had resolved it, he had no reason to get involved.

"Mr. Jensen, you must be so proud to have a sister who's an insanely gifted mystic master."

The words were spoken by the representative of the Alchemy Order, Christian, who was also one of Hector's main targets tonight.

"Shannon is indeed our family's pride," Hector affirmed softly, his delight unmistakable.

However, he soon changed the topic. "But her abilities are also one of the reasons why we don't always get to offer her help. After all, matters of the mystic arts world are something businessmen often can't get involved in.

"That's also why I'd like to collaborate with the Nolan family."

Christian laughed heartily. "You're up front, Mr. Jensen. I'm actually quite interested in Rhodes No. 5, previously known as Where Fragrance Meets Fat. Although it hasn't been on the market for long, it has certainly made quite a splash.

"However, the Alchemy Order has never sold any products infused with supernatural energy. If we were to collaborate, we'd need the practitioner behind it to be on board in the R&D department."

Forget about infusing supernatural energy into elixirs; even the method that Shannon had used to embed supernatural energy into talismans remained unreplicated by the lecturers at several colleges to this day.

It was an entirely new domain of practice, after all.

In the past, mystic arts and demons were seen as opposing forces, but it was only in the last century that their relationship began to ease. The establishment of the Demon Control Agency provided a framework for peaceful coexistence between practitioners and demons.

However, if a further breakthrough were possible, the Nolans wouldn't pass up the opportunity to be the pioneers of such innovation.

By the time Shannon came over, Hector and Christian had confirmed their partnership. Even she was surprised to learn they wanted to market Rhodes No. 5 in their new collaboration.

"Does Caleb know?"

Hector smiled. "He will once we return."

Despite intervening, he had no means of taking over the business. Once he finalized the collaboration with the Nolans, Caleb would still be the executive manager.

It was an effort similar to Shannon's plan of having Caleb assist Rhodes; using unexploited potential was an opportunity too good to pass up.

From his performance over the weeks, Caleb had done quite well. Still, Hector believed he could do better.

…

Meanwhile, in Seastone City, Caleb had no idea he had been set up for a business endeavor.

After just getting scolded by Rhodes, he couldn't help but feel the world had turned surreal when he saw people buying the newly launched Rhodes No. 5 Chowder d'Or.

Rhodes, on the other hand, watched the increasing number of sales on the screen. He smugly said, "See? I told you people would love the scent of clam chowder. And you were still fighting me on that! Rhodes the Rodent is always right!"

Caleb was utterly speechless. "No, this can't be…"
