Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1463

Standing aside, Percy smoothly chimed in, "That's because you kept stealing my lines last season, so I suggested to Mr. Hamilton that they should let you host this time."

After some light banter between the hosts, the show quickly moved into the main segment.

First came an introduction from the guests. Presley and Olivia navigated the routine with ease as their introductions were a balance of professionalism and humor.

When it was Cale's turn, his opening line directed hostility at Eddie. "I'm Cale Goodwinks, a proper apprentice of animal deities, so my strength is not to be doubted.

"What's important is that I workshop genuine deities, unlike certain people who pretend to commune with deities and deceive others."

As he said so, he cast a deliberate glance at Eddie as if to make it painfully clear who he was talking about.

The live audience was stunned briefly before the chat exploded. Half of the viewers rallied to Eddie's defense.

"Who does he think he is? We know EddieMystery fakes it, but that doesn't mean this new guest can just trash-talk him!"

"Exactly! He's supposedly a student from mystic schools like Shannon, but why does he have such low EQ?"

The other half gleefully joined in ridiculing Eddie.

"Triggered much? EddieMystery is a fraud, and it's as plain and simple as that. Why can't we call him out?"

"I get it though. Proper apprentices probably can't stand phonies like him. I'd grab the chance to diss him too."

The chat descended into chaos as viewers fought back and forth.

Shannon watched the scene unfold expressionlessly. To be honest, she was surprised. She'd had firsthand experience of Cale's sharp tongue during the college tournament.

Even Myla, who was part of Team Northgate, had been tempted more than once to chain his soul. It was a testament to how infuriating his words could be.

He glanced at the timer and almost passed out. Ten minutes in, and they were already headed for disaster.

Just as he desperately urged Percy to regain control of the situation, Olivia seemed upset. She was about to get up when Cale suddenly slammed his palm hard onto the table.

Everyone turned to stare as his face changed visibly. His eyes narrowed, and when he spoke, his voice was shrill and completely different from before.

He turned to address Bella. "This is a matter between apprentices of animal deities, and it's not your place to meddle, young lady."

Viewers were utterly stunned. It was obvious he was possessed by a deity!

It'd just been ten minutes. Things were already wild, and it seemed they were about to get wilder.

After the "deity" possessing Cale warned Bella, it turned to face Eddie. And with that, it raised its hand… to slap itself hard across the face.
