With her lone effort, Freya sent a wave of shock through the viewers in the livestream. Though her spiritual energy was weak, scaring people by changing her face through the screen was still well within her capabilities.
Within three seconds, she quickly retreated away from the camera.
As the fox face, which had been intentionally terrifying, retreated, it slowly morphed back into Eddie's original appearance. She even had a hint of embarrassment on her face. "Apologies for that."
The livestream audience was speechless. How nice of her to apologize after frightening them with her fox face.
That said, after the fright earlier, everyone was finally convinced that Eddie had received his chance at being protected by a deity!
Meanwhile, Maya, who had been bound and carried a tortoise on her head, suddenly piped up. "A Fox Deity was respectful of you enough to call you ma'am, and the person earlier… Shannon, I can't believe you're a—"
Before she could say "demon", Freya had darted forward and slapped Maya across the face. The hit was so light it was barely considered an assault.
Having been "tapped" on the face, Maya went from a daze to a realization that she had been marked. She… had turned mute!
She glared furiously at the Fox Deity before her, complaining, "I have no business with you. Why the heck did you just seal my mouth shut?"
Seeing Maya attempt to speak but being unable to, Shannon immediately knew Freya had intervened and what Maya had been trying to say.
Although Shannon didn't mind the truth of her demon bloodline getting exposed—since anyone who knew who her mother was would likely guess it—it was a different matter if Maya were to announce it on the livestream.
Such a revelation would inevitably stir up trouble.
When Freya faced Cale, she wasn't as warm as she had been with Olivia. Instead, she snorted coldly and ignored him. He scratched his head, looking confused and innocent.
He thought he was quite likable before his own deity, so why did this one seem to look down on him?
Shannon was speechless. Had he forgotten how he mocked Eddie for being a charlatan time after time?
During their chat, Presley had also witnessed Bella's "miserable state". His face dropped, and he bolted toward her without a moment of hesitation.
He instinctively tried to unfasten the chain, but how could he, a mortal, break Shannon's mystic chain?
Knowing his effort was futile while Bella remained immobilized and mute, Presley became enraged and roared at Shannon, "This is getting overboard! I don't care what kind of misunderstandings you have with Bella, but you can't do this to her! What gave you the right?"
