Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1355

Judging by the size and cut of the tiny paper figures, they must've been modeled after Shannon's paper figures.

Once Shannon and Benjamin entered the room, Benji Gold and Shanny Gold sprang out from their respective spots. They leaped onto the display table and curiously poked at the paper figures.

But the paper figures were just decorations of the restaurant. Though they were the same size as the two, they lacked the spiritual energy to move.

Benji Gold picked up an orange paper figure proportioned to itself and stuck it to its body. Then, it turned to Shanny Gold and gestured proudly as if wearing a new outfit.

The paper figures on the table came in every color, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Shanny Gold was quick to follow suit. It grabbed a green paper figure to compare with itself. The two little companions enthusiastically played dressed up with the paper figures.

Shannon and Benjamin let them be. Shannon even placed Tortoise the System on the table next to a decorative tortoise shell engraved with ancient oracle bone script.

Though it was released, it remained motionless and sulked in its shell.

The system had been wallowing in visible despair since leaving the Special Security Agency and stayed retracted into its shell.

Shannon didn't bother to comfort it either. She simply placed it on the table and settled down with Benjamin to look through the menu.

When the restaurant owner learned that Shannon was visiting their mystic arts-themed private room, he rushed back to the restaurant to personally host her. Then, he eagerly introduced the room's design and proudly showed off his collection.

Only under Benjamin's imposing gaze that he reluctantly excuse himself.

The two paper figures continued playing nearby as Shannon and Benjamin waited for their food. Shannon turned to Benjamin and asked, "Is this a date?"

Shannon found it hard to believe that Benjamin would enjoy a place like this.

Besides, she noticed he was wearing a casual overcoat today. It was in the same color palette as hers.

The two paper figures froze.

They glanced at the couple, who'd been interrupted, and put their hands on their hips in indignation.

After tossing the lifeless paper figure seaside, they flew at Tortoise the System and each delivered a precise flying kick. Tortoise the System was sent tumbling from the table onto the carpet below.

Then, they swooped to the floor and began gleefully kicking the tortoise like a toy.

Though the private room was spacious, the commotion of the tortoise being booted across the floor was almost impossible to ignore.

Shannon and Benjamin exchanged a silent glance.

After a long pause, Benjamin calmly summoned the driver. He pointed at the tortoise which had once again retracted into its shell and instructed, "Take it back to the Jensen residence."
