Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1547

As Shannon's number one fan, Scott quickly took action upon hearing her and Thalia's instructions.

Dashing down the stairs, he made Thomas turn on the surround sound system used during the banquet, and since there was no internet, he took out one of George's prized vinyl records to play instead.

Soon enough, the passionate and stirring national anthem echoed through the entire villa district.

A few of the maids had already collapsed inside the villa, and the others, still at a loss, were momentarily stunned when they suddenly heard the anthem playing inside the villa.

Despite being unaware of the truth, they couldn't help but feel calmed and reassured by the music.

It was also then Scott took the opportunity to announce, "As Shannon said, stay calm, everyone! Do not be scared; the more you are, the quicker you're going to collapse. Shannon and Aunt Celeste are dealing with the monster behind this now!

"If any of you is still scared, just come into the villa, and we'll all feel safer together!"

It was the weekday and coincidentally the school dismissal time.

Eva, who was playing with Marshmallow and Marie outside, had no idea what was happening. Upon hearing Scott's words, she instinctively echoed, "Shan is the best! Aunt Celeste is also the best! I'm not scared at all!"

Marshmallow, too, let out a long, drawn-out fox's cry, as if to echo in agreement.

Meanwhile, at the Jensen Corporation, Adam similarly took the necessary precautions after seeing the abruptly ended livestream.

"Tell the whole building to stay calm—if anyone faints, don't panic. Just move them to the lounge and have the staff stay with them. Everyone else should stay put and do anything relaxing, including singing.

"Also, go to the break room and the downstairs cafe and arrange some energizing drinks for everyone in the building…"

The scene inside Jensen Corporation's building became strangely surreal. On one floor, every employee held a cup of coffee, proudly singing the national anthem as they sipped, while on the next floor, groups of people gathered to practice yoga in unison.

"The Dreameater wouldn't suddenly gain the power strong enough to cover all of Seastone by itself. It's more likely that the Black Smoke Organization used it as part of a larger scheme to stir up such a disturbance.

"Whether their ultimate goal is to steal fortune or not, our task remains the same—to locate the Dreameater's true form and do everything we can to prevent the situation from worsening.

"In the process, we may encounter resistance from the Black Smoke Organization. So, the next step is to divide into teams and take action accordingly."

Shannon continued, "Ms. Wynthorpe and Kai will be one team, Benjamin and I will be another, and Lexie, Heston, and Rhodes will form the third team. We will each be responsible for searching for possible locations where the Dreameater might be hiding.

"Cale, you'll be in charge of contacting the authorities and finding a way to restore the network within the city. Once the network is back, we need an official announcement to help stabilize the public."

"Mike, you'll coordinate with the Seastone Special Security Branch and the mystic school members. Even if it means one-on-one interventions, your priority is to protect all those with significant fortune within Seastone, ensuring they don't fall under the Dreameater's influence."
