Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1678

Meanwhile, after exiting the ward, Shannon ran into personnel from the Demon Control Agency that had come to look after Onyx. At the same time, she also received a message from Reuben.

She had wanted to see him, so she headed straight to the Demon Control Headquarters. Surprisingly, she saw someone she hadn't expected there—Bianca.

It wasn't surprising to Shannon that Bianca was here; after all, she was also a descendant of the fox clan. What actually caught her off guard was that she was here for the warehouse heart removal case.

"That was supposed to be my mission! Cornelius and I managed to kill a few at the warehouse, but the rest were murdered by other demons!

"If I don't capture that heart-ripping demon, how can I live with myself? How will the Wynthorpe family ever regain its standing? How will the demon clan face this?"

With ease, Bianca managed to elevate the case from a personal matter to one that concerned the entire demon clan.

However, faced with her emotional speech, Reuben remained unmoved, glanced at Shannon, and asked Bianca, "Are you done? If you are, leave. Unauthorized personnel are forbidden in the headquarters building."

Having been refuted harshly, she glanced at Shannon and suddenly straightened her back before revealing a resentful expression at him.

Even her voice turned sorrowful. "Come on, I'm your cousin! Back when Thalia was still missing and I was the only female in the clan, every one of you adored me… Now that Shannon's here, you guys only have eyes on her.

"If I knew I was going to get discarded like this, I would've distanced myself long ago and become a lone fox!"

Shannon was at a complete loss for words.

She had only found out recently that Bianca was Marilyn's daughter, but nobody had seemed to tell her that she also had a schizotypal disorder.

Faced with Bianca, who was prone to sudden outbursts, Reuben seemed used to it and even calmly glanced at her. "What book have you been reading lately?"

She pretended to be sad, twisting her body and lowering her head, and confessed, "The True and False Heiress. It's the most popular one right now."

Once the drama queen left, Shannon stepped forward. "The puppy demon has awoken. He said something that I think you should know."

"I've already been informed."

As soon as Onyx awoke, Reuben received news and assigned someone to check on him. While Shannon traveled to the headquarters, he had already found out what Onyx had said.

"It's not surprising that they're after the Dragon Vein. Spiritual energy has been greatly depleted worldwide, except in our nation, which is shielded by the Dragon Vein. That's also why we have nurtured so many mystic masters and allowed the continuation of the demon clan…"

He suddenly paused to look at Shannon. "The Ghost Mist Organization has never been the only one coveting the National Dragon Vein."

Her heart sank at his words. Thinking about how Benjamin functioned almost like a walking spiritual energy extractor before he had awakened, it no longer seemed that surprising when considering his true form.

Still, it was disturbing to know that the Ghost Mist Organization wasn't their only opponent.
