Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1711

In other words, the fresh air around Gunner turned stale just by coming into contact with him.

After years in the entertainment industry, Verus quickly picked up the art of speaking to humans.

Gunner couldn't help but feel annoyed to be treated so rudely by a rookie, especially one under Anton's care. His expression darkened briefly, but he swiftly masked it with a fake polite smile.

"It seems your training methods have deteriorated, Anton. He lacks basic manners; such an attitude won't get him far."

The implied insult was crystal clear to everyone present.

Before Verus could react, Anton stepped forward and wore a matching fake smile. "I've always taught him to respect his seniors, but some people who've debuted early lack integrity, so they shouldn't think of themselves as seniors."

As a manager, Anton had always believed in keeping peace. It was better to make more allies than enemies.

But Gunner was an expectation. Everyone knew how badly they'd fallen out, so there was no need to keep up pretenses.

"I don't know how far Verus will go, but I'm sure he'll go further than you."

Gunner's veins bulged in fury.

Anton had always been mild-tempered and had never raised his voice. Even when handling scandals, he'd focused on solving problems rather than scolding his artists, unlike what most bosses would do.

But now that he'd turned so sharp-tongued, Gunner figured all that kind personality from before must've been fake. These were now his true colors.

Gunner snorted coldly and no longer bothered with the two. Instead, he turned his attention to Shannon and Benjamin.

After recognizing Shannon earlier, he'd wanted to get acquainted with her. But seeing her step out of Verus' lounge, his impression of Shannon, the viral mystic master, dropped.

Of course, Gunner knew what his assistant was worried about and was aware of Shannon's background. But so what?

They were in Jamborough, and the person backing him had a top-tier status in Jamborough. The Jensen family might be powerful in Seastone, but they were nothing in Jamborough.

That was the reason Gunner acted so brazenly.

He stared at Shannon and waited for her to name her price, but the latter didn't look the least bit offended.

Instead, she observed him for a long while and slowly said, "Since you insist on a reading, I'll give you one sentence."

She narrowed her eyes and continued in a deep, calm voice, "Opportunities for ghosts and demons are not to be stolen."

If ever stolen, one would bring disaster upon oneself.
