Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1807

That was how Mike continued his research down the path of playing incantations and achieved small but solid results.

For simple arrays that didn't require special memorial items, he could form them instantly by playing certain tunes infused with spiritual energy.

"I've got something better. Watch this." He raised his singing bowl again and played a different tune.

Shannon felt a gush of negative energy breeze through the courtyard before a group of baby ghosts materialized out of nowhere. Summoned by the singing bowl, they swarmed Heston and started "attacking" by grabbing onto his legs, arms, and neck.

Heston, who'd been standing perfectly straight a moment ago, visibly panicked. As the baby ghosts grabbed him, he stayed perfectly still as if afraid even the slightest movement might crush these fragile ghosts.

This scene looked awfully similar to when Shannon had used baby ghosts to stop Heston from running away.

Shannon turned to Mike and wondered if he'd copied her.

But when Mike changed the tune again to recall the baby ghosts, he immediately started handing out "wages" to them with a face full of reluctance.

Seeing this, Shannon suddenly felt she might've misunderstood. It seemed he hadn't summoned the baby ghosts because she'd used them against Heston, but because they were cheaper than usual ghosts.

Hiring ghosts cost "money" after all.

She couldn't help but laugh softly. As her gaze shifted, she noticed a familiar golden light seeping in through the gap in the courtyard gate.

She paused slightly. Just as she was about to pretend not to see, Benji Gold in her pocket seemed to sense something. With a swish, it shot toward the gate and pressed the lock release button.

The gate swung open, and everyone turned to see Benjamin standing outside.

As Shannon's friends, they all recognized him. Even if they didn't, they knew his true identity after the current mission.

Thanks to Kai's frequent grumbling and "angry rants", they were also aware that things were currently complicated between Shannon and Benjamin.

Benjamin paused and said, "Sorry. I came just to tell you that I'll continue to stay in the courtyard next door."

Shannon replied, "You bought that house with your money. It's yours, and you don't have to tell me about it."

Benjamin pressed his lips together and hesitated slightly. He was about to mention that foreign mystic masters might come after him when he opened his mouth, just to see someone burst in excitedly.

It was Verus, who was freshly back from vacation at Sapphire Tides. "Ms. Jensen, Ms. Green called again to ask you about…"

Halfway through his sentence, he noticed the tall figure at the entrance. Then, he stopped and stood obediently. "Did I… interrupt something?"

Shannon was about to say no when Benjamin answered, "You did. A little."

Shannon was utterly baffled.
