Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1681

"We share the same demon blood."

Luke scoffed. "She's only a quarter of a demonic bloodline, and you're acting like it's something significant. Besides, she's got Thalia's blood, not yours! At best, you're just her uncle—you're not directly related to her in any other way."

Reuben's demeanor changed, and he swept a harsh gaze across him. "Do we settle this through a fight or not?"

Luke was bold. "Sure! Come right at me!"

…

Whatever happened next was outside of Shannon's knowledge. Even if it wasn't, she couldn't care less.

Although Reuben was busy engaging in a fight, he didn't delay the necessary matters. The next morning, she heard the family of peacock demons that originally resided beside her had moved out.

Though the house was now vacant, Shannon didn't think for a second that Benjamin would willingly move in. Just the fact that he was previously an OCD patient alone indicated that he wouldn't stay at a place where other demons had resided.

Therefore, on the day she acquired the house, she immediately brought in a team to renovate, clean, and replace all the soft furnishings quickly.

Since the demon clan rarely handled such tasks, she hired a human team from outside.

Although the Demon District forbade humans from entering, there were exceptions for special circumstances. The condition was that humans couldn't stay for long or overnight.

Meanwhile, Maeve had been busy settling the rescued cats and dogs. When she heard there were new work arrangements, she immediately set aside her tasks and quickly contacted a reliable local team from Jamborough to get started.

She stated, "I'm not done with the matters at the rescue station yet. Once the cat and dog owners arrive tomorrow to pick up their pets, I'll head back and help you oversee the work."

Shannon replied, "No, it's alright. You can continue helping around the rescue station. I'll oversee the work here myself."

Once the post was published, Shannon used her points to push it to the top, quickly attracting many practitioners of the mystic arts, especially the mystic school students.

The latter, in particular, was eager to practice physiognomy, as it was something they greatly needed. Every day, they could only practice with their classmates, and doing so too often could lead to boredom.

Moreover, this was just about detecting murder debts, not involving the natural karmic ties, so it didn't violate any mystic arts taboos.

Soon, several potential adopters with karmic debts were identified, and to everyone's surprise, the post went viral on the forum.

Eventually, a mystic school lecturer, inspired by the post, arranged for their students to collaborate with various orphanages and rescue centers for extracurricular work—a story for another time.

When the issue with the adoption drive was resolved, Benjamin received a set of blueprints that Shannon had sent over through Benji Gold. They were the design plans for his new residence.
