Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1265

Well, the man wasn't completely dead as of now. And if he wasn't dead, the Unmelting Bone wasn't considered to have committed murder.

So, that'd mean…

"Now let's…" Shannon began, but her words trailed off when she noticed Benjamin striding toward them.

Heston instinctively straightened his back and lowered his head. He remained standing still like a child caught misbehaving.

Shannon turned her attention to Benjamin and asked, "Is everything dealt with?"

Benjamin nodded. After a pause, he added, "But the Jamborough branch has been informed about the Unmelting Bone's actions. Their agents, who'd been in charge of hunting the Unmelting Bone down, are on their way here."

The reason they knew was clear. One of the agents from the Arenvale branch handling the child sexual abuse case had secretly reported the incident without authorization from the chief.

Benjamin's expression darkened at the thought. Though he'd tasked Luke to handle the matter, it was ultimately his oversight.

Meanwhile, Shannon wasn't too surprised. The Unmelting Bone's attack and the dispersal of filth energy were bound to draw Jamborough Security Branch Agency's attention. Their arrival was inevitable.

But to hand the Unmelting Bone over just like that was out of the question.

Without hesitation, she decisively turned to Heston. "Let's head back to the villa."

Benjamin glanced at her. "You're planning to…"

"Complete the contract ritual before they arrive," she answered firmly.

Once the contract was established, even the Special Security Headquarters wouldn't have the authority to forcibly dissolve it.
