Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1680

From the start, Shannon had never intended to put the burden of defeating the Ghost Mist Organization on herself. What she had always wanted was to be with Benjamin.

Perhaps Luke read her thoughts, and he eventually conceded. "But it doesn't matter what I or Reuben say unless you have his permission."

Luke couldn't decide on Benjamin's behalf, and it didn't matter how convincing she was unless Benjamin gave the green light.

She replied, "I've talked to him about it."

"Did he accept it?" Luke and Reuben were equally stunned.

Her demeanor was relaxed. "He didn't turn me down."

More accurately, she didn't give Benjamin a chance to refuse. Well, the process didn't matter, right?

Luke gazed profoundly at her, and after a brief silence, he wore an ambiguous smile and no longer said a thing.

Seeing no objections from him, Shannon then turned to Reuben and stated her other reason for her visit. "I want to buy another house in the Demon District, preferably one next to my courtyard. I heard that all property transactions there must be approved by the DCA."

This time, it was Reuben who looked at her with a profound gaze. A new house next to her courtyard? Anyone with a sane mind would know who she was preparing it for.

Naturally, it wasn't the worst idea.

His gaze dimmed slightly, but he didn't give her a hard time this round. He waved and said, "I'll handle the housing issue. Just leave the rest to me."

Once Shannon left and closed the door, Luke finally piped up. "That kiddo sure is perceptive."

In fact, Reuben had long sensed the anomalies surrounding those evil demons but had kept it to himself. To his surprise, Shannon had already figured it out.

He lamented to himself but cast a sidelong glance at Luke, saying, "Of course. You shouldn't expect any less from a Demon Control Agent."

Luke's brow twitched at his words, and he immediately retorted, "She's a Special Security Agent, too!"

According to the timeline, she joined the Special Security Agency a day before the Demon Control Agency!
