Shannon had posted on Twitter announcing her return, and that tweet had garnered over a million reposts and comments. Yet, she hadn't officially appeared in public.
She felt that she should at least show up in person for those who liked and supported her.
Perhaps it was intuition, or perhaps she just jinxed herself, because right after she had that thought, Hector came to her.
At that time, Sirion had just finished work and was sent off by Hector to stay at a nearby hotel.
"The Special Security Agency and the Mystic Regulatory Commission feel that you should make a formal online appearance. It's not just to reassure your friends in Crisea but also to intimidate some foreign evil masters and organizations."
With this new partnership in place, the mystic arts community in Crisea was also expected to shift.
Hector hoped that Shannon could take more time to rest and wouldn't mind even if she wanted to slack off, but he understood that the Mystic Regulatory Commission's suggestion made sense.
That was why he decided to leave the choice to her.
If she'd like that, he would take care of all the arrangements. He had the power to make that happen right now.
Shannon nodded. "Sure."
In fact, she knew just where and how to appear.
She refused to show up in any formal event representing the Special Security Agency or the mystic arts community. Such appearances didn't suit her, but she had a non-official, public-facing event in mind.
"Eddie mentioned that Mr. Hamilton wanted to host a comeback livestream episode for cast members of Sixth Sense Season One. I didn't agree back then, but now it seems like the perfect occasion."
Though he concealed his presence and form from ordinary people, Shannon and Hector immediately saw the majestic creature.
Looking like the world's most flamboyant show-off, Kai finally felt satisfied once he confirmed the two had seen his dazzling and mighty dragon form.
With a flourish, he transformed back into his human form of a youthful teen. His expression immediately shifted to one of wounded grievance.
"Shannon, why didn't you tell me when you came back from the alternate world?"
If he'd known earlier, he would have immediately flown back.
As Kai spoke, he couldn't hold it in anymore and tilted his head in a dramatic howl. "You have no idea what I've had to go through these past few days under Luke!"
