Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1674

When Onyx woke up, Shannon was the only person in the ward. She sat on the couch with her back to him. Her presence carried an unfamiliar air that was both human and demon.

His body tensed in alarm and assumed a defensive posture. That was when he heard Tanger's proud voice coming from the tablet in her hands.

"Two were enlightened! Another 39 could at least say their owner's name! I had your people record all of it!"

Shannon smiled lightly and praised him, "Not bad. As expected of you."

As she spoke, she seemed to sense something and turned around. Her gaze met Onyx's deep black eyes.

Because of the video call, Tanger also saw Onyx on the other end. His face immediately filled the screen as he shouted excitedly, "Onyx! You're finally awake! Does it still hurt?

"I'm coming back right now to check on you! Just wait an hour, or no, half an hour!"

As Tanger shouted non-stop, Onyx seemed used to his antics. His sharp gaze softened a little, though his expression remained cool and serious.

"Stop yelling. You're making my wounds hurt."

With that one sentence, Tanger immediately shut up and started whimpering about how worried he'd been.

Onyx calmly reassured him and promised multiple times he'd stay in the ward until Tanger arrived. Only then did the latter reluctantly end the call.

While waiting for Tanger to arrive, Onyx finally learned that Shannon was the one who'd save him, Tanger, and the entire truckload of captured animals.

Not only did she ensure the criminals were punished, but she also made sure every rescued cat and dog was properly cared for.

The conversation Tanger had just been having was him communicating with the rescued animals and documenting their details.

Shannon was preparing to post on Twitter and call for owners to reclaim their lost pets. As for those without owners, the seriously ill ones were left to vets, while the rest were gathered for temporary care and awaited adoption.

Shortly after, she received pictures and details meant to be posted. It was from her assistant Hector arranged for when she came to Jamborough.

The latter had been worried no one would be around to take care of Shannon, so he'd assigned an assistant to stay by Shannon's side and handle all the trivial issues.

Then, he finally opened his mouth and spoke two words. "Ghost Mist."

Shannon froze. The familiar name didn't surprise her.

Ghost Mist Organization was the true name of the Black Smoke Organization.

Shannon had thought they were just a group of evil masters capable of controlling black smoke. It never occurred to her that the Ghost Mist Organization might include evil demons.

"I don't know what exactly they do, but aside from me, they captured many other young demons and forced black smoke into their bodies."

Onyx was the youngest among the demon younglings and one of the few who managed to absorb the black smoke.

But he knew that the black smoke was harmful because after absorbing it, he'd sometimes lose control and go berserk. Yet to members of the Ghost Mist Organization, that was considered a successful result.

He'd managed to escape because a few other captured demons sacrificed themselves to help him.
