Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1679

Shannon's somber expression prompted Reuben to say, "This is something Sire knew fairly well. I know you feel some kind of way toward him because of your relationship with the previous version of him, but I must say… You're not needed for protecting him.

"Instead, Luke will be fully responsible for that."

The dragon clan had existed since ancient times to protect the Dragon Vein.

Although Luke appeared to be the chief of the Special Security Agency, his main priority had always been The Enigma. Whenever Benjamin summoned him, he would immediately rush to his side, regardless of what he was doing.

Shannon's control over her supernatural power might be impressive, but to Luke, she was still a young demon.

It was only then she realized why Reuben had summoned her. She pursed her lips, refusing to affirm, but looked at him and uttered softly, "I'm different from Luke."

He raised a brow. "How so?"

Her gaze was full of sincerity as she said, "He protects the Dragon Vein, while I protect Benjamin."

Even if the Dragon Vein was Benjamin himself, to her, they were different. She had no ability to protect all living beings; she simply wanted to protect him, even if he refused to acknowledge her now.

"Oh." The determination in Reuben's eyes faded. Instead of responding to her, he spoke toward the window. "Did you hear that? Also, how long do you plan to hide there?"

His expression stiffened for a fleeting moment before he argued, "That was then, and this is now. Don't confuse the two!"

If his memory served him right, she was still a member of the Special Security Agency. And as the chief, how should he recover from this embarrassment?

"That was an accident!" He tried to defend himself.

A smile crept onto Shannon's lips. "And there you have it. Even you, who claimed to be from the dragon clan, admit it was an accident. That's why I'm here now—to prevent it happening for the second time."

Luke fell silent. She had a strong point, and he couldn't rebut it.
