Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1276

Indeed, Shannon's first thought upon receiving Rueben's message was his intention to compete with the Special Security Agency.

That was because after accepting his invitation to join the Demon Control Agency, her main priority and first mission was a case from the Special Security Agency. Hence, he was eager to assign her a new task upon her return.

Although unsure what kind of unpleasant past he had with the Special Security Agency, she thought he was being childish. That said, she accepted the task.

The first mission she received from the Demon Control Agency… was to locate a cat demon who had run away from home.

"My child has been into short videos lately and kept saying it wants to become an influencer cat! I kept telling it that we're enlightened demons that are different from normal, domestic cats!

"It refused to listen, and now, it'd run away from home, saying it would find an owner who would take it in… My kid had always been obedient. I bet some evil human had lured it away!

"It doesn't know the tricks humans do. At first, they'll find you cute and bring you home. After a while, they get bored and abandon you during the holidays or when they move!

"Or they'll cage you in a cat bag and release you at the entrance of some random pet shop on a winter day, disregarding your livelihood…"

The cat demon mommy rambled on, her eyes filled with disdain and sorrow toward humans.

It was only then she stopped and looked at Shannon, asking, "I don't sense any supernatural energy on you. What kind of demon are you?"

Shannon stayed silent briefly before replying, "I'm human."

Immediately, the cat demon mommy became furious, her fur standing on end. She reached for her phone, ready to call the Demon Control Agency and file a complaint.

Why would they send a human to handle a demon's affairs? She hated humans the most! How frustrating!

Shannon couldn't care less about her consent. She directly took a tuft of her fur and, following the same origin of supernatural energy on the hair, quickly located her child at the home of a popular influencer.

The influencer's daily routine involved filming herself and her cat, and she had also become somewhat famous in the cat community.

After sending the message, she muted his account and put his texts for a time-out. Subsequently, she headed out to meet Myla.

Yesterday, within a day, the news of Shannon and Lexie successfully binding a contract with the Unmelting Bone spread through the mystic arts community.

Although Shannon wasn't the one who formed the binding contract, her success in closing such a pivotal case on her first mission in the Special Security Agency pulled quite a bit of attention and well-wishes from others.

One of them came from Myla, who was still in Jamborough.

To escape from her family's pressure and endless blind dates, she temporarily took some gigs here in Jamborough as an underworld traveler. Coincidentally, she got to celebrate with Shannon in person.

Naturally, Shannon didn't think there was anything worth celebrating.

The two planned to meet at 3:00 pm the next day, but before Shannon could meet Myla as agreed, she received another request for help from a familiar person.
