Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1707

At first, Anton hadn't spoken up, knowing Verus wouldn't be harmed. But now, seeing him tied up, Anton couldn't stay silent.

"He might be dabbling in the entertainment industry, but he's really pure-hearted. You guys are from the Demon Control Agency, so you should know oceanids are naturally kind and gentle, especially him.

"I know that he stole fans through merchandise, but he did it for me. When I found out, I scolded him, and he promised not to do it again. Can't you give him another chance?"

As Verus' manager, Anton had raised him from an unknown rookie to a top idol. He had a deep, undeniable bond with Verus.

He was so used to pleading on Verus' behalf that he didn't feel embarrassed, but Verus felt bad watching him do this.

Turning to Shannon and Benjamin, he quietly asked, "Could you untie me first?" Anton was getting worried about him.

Shannon glanced at Verus and then at Anton. With a wave of her hand, the mystic chains binding Verus vanished.

"Relax. We're here to confirm something, not to arrest anyone."

Hearing that, the two visibly relaxed.

Benjamin stepped forward and reached out to pluck a scale from Verus, which shimmered with a hint of putrefied supernatural energy.

"Hiss…" Verus' face scrunched in pain, but sensing Benjamin's presence, he dared not throw a tantrum. Instead, he actively asked, "You need my scales? Will one be enough?"

If not, he had more. He collected his regularly shed scales from ten years ago, 50 years ago, and even 100 years ago. As long as they didn't want his most vital scale, he could give them however many they wanted.

Benjamin glanced at him and said, "One is enough."

Perhaps not every putrefied demon would enter a crazed state. From what Shannon saw, the putrefaction on Verus looked weaker and different from Onyx and Fiona.

Verus shook his head. "Nothing's changed…"

Then, he paused. A sudden thought struck him. "Does using up supernatural powers too fast count? Every time I use my supernatural powers, I get exhausted really quickly."

Shannon fell silent for a moment and nodded. "It counts."

Great. Not only did the putrefaction cause crazed states, but it could also silently drain a demon's supernatural powers.

This just got a lot more complicated.
