Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1706

Verus' translucent blue tail shimmered with iridescent light. Each scale reflected a dreamlike glow like rippling waves as the tail leaped.

That was only if there wasn't a faint trace of putrefied supernatural energy hidden beneath those scales.

The moment Shannon spotted the putrefaction, she immediately flung two talismans beyond the barrier.

The talismans seemed to react like sentient beings. As they whipped through the air, one attacked from the right and the other from the left.

Then, she launched a single command. "Bind!"

Both talismans transformed into glowing mystic chains that alternated and ensnared Verus from head to tail.

Fiona had just been a juvenile demon, and even in a crazed state from the putrefaction, she'd managed to break free from the chains and attack.

Verus was an adult demon, so Shannon had no intention of taking any risks. Yet what surprised her was that Verus didn't fall into a crazed state like Fiona.

When the chains wrapped around him, he looked visibly stunned. His second wave of attacks dissolved into nothing and fell to the floor in tiny droplets.

With a loud thud, he crashed onto the ground. His fish tail twisted as he struggled against the chains and tried to break free, only to realize they wouldn't budge.

Looking up at Shannon, the sharpness in his gaze faded and was replaced by pure confusion. Then, he asked, "Did I lose?"

To be honest, Verus still had no idea what Shannon, the Special Security Agency and Demon Control Agency agent, wanted from him.

Since he'd barely entered combat mode before getting instantly restrained, he wondered if this was an entrapment. Perhaps Shannon had tricked him into attacking, just so she could prosecute him afterward.

Though he was an idol, Anton had arranged for him to take acting classes. His instructor even complimented him on his talent.

Having an emotional breakdown or going berserk was no problem for him.

Shannon and Benjamin exchanged looks and were pretty sure their eyes weren't deceiving them. If Verus was faking this, it'd mean he had terrifyingly excellent acting skills.

At that moment, Anton finally spoke up. "May I ask why you're here for Verus? I'm with him every day, so I know everything about him.

"As an idol, he sometimes pulls pranks using his supernatural powers, but I swear he's never actually harmed anyone. Even when he does pranks on people, it's always because they tried to mess with him.

"For example, the guy whose pants fell off on the red carpet tried to spike Verus' drink. Luckily, Verus is an oceanid and didn't drink the water when he sniffed and sensed something off."
