Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1175

Mike paused as he was just about to step into the bathroom. He turned to glance at the phone on his bedside table as an ominous gut feeling crept up on him.

He strode over to answer the call. As he would've expected, the voice on the other end was urgent and filled with panic and unease.

"Mikey…" After listening to the entire story, Mike hung up with an increasingly serious expression.

The next day was a rest day for teams participating in the tournament, but Shannon and Skylar didn't sleep in. They woke up early for their morning exercises.

After breakfast, the rest of the team slowly made their way downstairs.

While Lexie was having her breakfast, she noticed there was a set of breakfast untouched. She muttered a grumble, "Mike must be sleeping in again. Mr. Cain and Mr. Davis are going to give him a scolding in a bit."

Elliot who'd been sipping on congee suddenly paused. His nose twitched as he turned to face the stairs and sniff the air.

After a moment, he whispered, "He's not upstairs. There's no one up there."

Isaac and Logan left early that morning after receiving confirmation details for the third round of the tournament. They left the five students alone in the villa except for Mike.

But if Mike wasn't upstairs, where had he gone?

Lexie threw her breakfast aside and ran upstairs. Moments later, a startled shout rang out. "Ah! Shannon!"

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Lexie rushing down the stairs with a note in hand. Her face was full of anger and shock.

"Mike left us a note and ran off!"

Everyone was stunned. When they saw the contents of the note, their expressions collectively turned blank.
