Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1713

Shannon eyed Gunner with a dark gaze and continued, "Right now, you're using the Zenyoistone to temporarily obscure your fate and enhance your fortune.

"But you must understand that for whatever you've stolen today, you'll have to repay tenfold when the time comes."

If Gunner had just stolen an ordinary person's opportunity, he would need to return twice as much.

But ghosts and demons were special beings in the natural order. Anything taken from them required repayment of at least tenfold.

This was why mystic arts strongly opposed ordinary people dealing with demons and ghosts. The consequences of such transactions were simply unbearable for most.

Gunner tensed at Shannon's mention of the Zenyoistone, and he instinctively covered his chest. Though he didn't want to admit it, he had a feeling deep down that everything she said was true.

He'd acquired the Zenyoistone from someone else. To be precise, he'd lied to get it.

The Zenyoistone was the reason that his once-dwindling career turned around. Lately, it seemed like he was on the verge of skyrocketing to success.

Of course, he knew it wasn't just the Zenyoistone, but it was also thanks to the powerful person backing him.

As Gunner recalled how he'd met the person, a flash of panic crossed his face.

If what Shannon said about stealing an opportunity referred to that incident, did it mean he'd impersonated a demon? Would that mean a demon would eventually come knocking on his door?

Verus watched as Gunner's expression filled visibly with panic. Seeing the latter clutch his chest, he immediately knew Shannon was telling the truth.

He instinctively took a step back to keep some distance away from Gunner. It was no wonder his previous attempt to steal Gunner's fans had failed; the latter had the protection of a Zenyoism artifact!

Thank goodness he'd listened to Anton's advice and hadn't used his supernatural powers to retaliate. Otherwise, he would've suffered a backlash from the powers of Zenyoism.

Zenyoism was incredibly intimidating for a demon.

Since Shannon had said it was a demon, he could hire a mystic master to exterminate the demon. That wouldn't be illegal.

As long as the original owner was dead, everything he had now would still belong to him.

The moment Gunner uttered those words, Shannon's eyes turned ice-cold. Her distant and indifferent gaze fell on him as if she were looking at a dead man.

Verus hadn't expected such an answer from Gunner either. But what truly startled him was that the instant Gunner said "Kill that demon", his demonic sensors flared up.

He felt an overwhelming surge of malice directed at him, and it came from Gunner, who was right in front.

At that moment, it was as if an invisible 12th house had linked the two together, and that was when realization hit Verus.

He glared at Gunner with a deep, frigid gaze. "You want to kill me?"
