Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1480

The main connection between Shannon and Reuben was the Demon Control Agency. Back then, she had agreed to join them solely to exchange information about the alternate world. Now that she had reunited with Thalia, she could leave at any moment.

Thalia had known her daughter was perceptive yet didn't expect her to have read her mind. She secretly sighed, reached out to stroke Shannon's head, and said, "That's unnecessary. You do whatever you want. Don't ever change because of anyone else's opinion.

"The fact that you've joined the DCA as a human mystic master was already an impressive feat."

This was her accolade, and there was no need to remove it just because of her small concerns. More importantly, Shannon had an extra layer of protection due to her identity in the Demon Control Agency.

Although Reuben was the chief there, it never belonged to him or anyone in their clan.

Shannon fell silent briefly at Thalia's words. Then, her brows and eyes curved slightly in a faint smile. With that, the topic of leaving the Demon Control Agency came to an end.

Shannon wasn't in a hurry to expose Maya's identity. Meanwhile, Eddie on the other hand, had a night filled with turmoil.

Because Shannon had found the white-faced saki earlier and brought it away, the production crew's planned interaction segment was pushed up. That evening, they still followed the schedule, staying overnight in a town near the village.

Perhaps due to his earlier encounter with Cale's Fox Deity, Eddie dreamed of the old woman he had occasionally seen in his dreams as he was falling asleep that night.

At one point, he had believed it was some kind of cursed spirit haunting him. It was because of her that he had started to see ghosts.

After Shannon's "reminder", he finally realized the old woman's identity. When he met her again in his dreams, he was no longer afraid of her but felt excited and eager.

"Granny, are you the deity that has been watching over me? A-Are you the Fox Deity?"

The old woman sat cross-legged under the shade of a tree, no longer attempting to strangle him as she had before.

The fox-like eyes were slanted and narrow, with the corners of his lips curved in what seemed like a natural smile. No matter how one looked at it, he was clearly in a human form conjured by a fox.

Eddie's eyes slowly widened. His gaze averted from the suddenly appeared young man to the old woman beside him. There were… two deities here?

It was as if he suddenly remembered something. His whole body jolted, and with a quick leap, he sprang away from the old woman. He looked at the figure with a mix of fear and anger, his eyes wide with emotion.

"Y-Y-You lied! You're not my deity! You're a ghost!"

It was the ghost that had been lingering in his dreams—the same one that had strangled him! He must've tried to kill him in his dreams to take over his body!

Luckily, he had another deity protecting him.
