Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1760

Shannon nodded at Elliot. "You can."

Though she might not have such influence to get Avery's help, Reuben could.

The Demon Control Agency had been conducting interrogations all night. Shannon's psychological tactics had completely broken Caelan down, and he had spilled everything he knew, despite his injuries.

They didn't know what the nature of the putrefaction was, but Shannon's threats against Caelan weren't entirely baseless.

The eruption of putrefied supernatural energy drained both supernatural strength and life force. Even if the putrefaction was purified, the demons that'd been tainted would still sustain damage. Weakened supernatural energy was one of them.

So, even if she didn't bring it up, Reuben, the chief of the Demon Control Agency, would seek out Avery for the young demons' sake.

If Elliot worked alongside Avery, it might yield twice the results with half the effort.

Hearing Shannon's approval, Elliot shyly lowered his head as a small smile formed on his round face. He took out his phone and whispered, "I-I'll tell Mr. Darlington."

He was a student at Seastone School of Mystic Arts. If he was going to stay here for a while, he had to report it to Albern.

Shannon waited until he finished sending the message. After confirming Elliot would stay here tonight, she didn't try to persuade him further and reached into her pocket. Then, she pulled out a piece of candy and placed it on Elliot's hands.

"This candy is from the Demon District. It tastes a little different from regular candy, so you can try it if you're tired."

Elliot stared at the candy in his palm. Then, he looked up, nodded, and whispered, "Okay."

Shannon bid him farewell and left the clinic. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw three people waiting for her. It was Hector, Hank, and Scott.

Shannon was a little surprised. Then, she heard Scott say, "Hector said it's unsafe for a young lady like you to be out alone this late at night, so we're here to pick you up."

Hector had planned to come alone, but Scott and Hank were too hyped up to sleep after experiencing today's intense battle, so they insisted on tagging along.

They knew that with Shannon's abilities, she was far safer being alone than any of them. But after watching Hector and Adam treat Shannon with such protectiveness, the two came to realize that Shannon was just a young lady, no matter how strong she was.

Then, he frowned and didn't think that sounded right. "No, wait. Why didn't they turn on when we came through earlier?"

Shannon explained, "They are sensor lights, but they don't sense movement; they sense supernatural energy instead.

"These streetlights are controlled by a single lamp demon."

The lamp demon only illuminated the Demon District for demons. Earlier, the lights hadn't turned on because they were all human.

Hector, Scott, and Hank were utterly speechless. Had they just been discriminated against by a lamp demon?

But no, the real problem was that even the streetlights were demons!

After all the different kinds of demons they'd witnessed today, hearing that even the streetlights were demons caught them off guard for a moment. But after the initial shock, the three of them soon regained their composure.
