Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1266

As Shannon had anticipated, the contract ritual had barely begun when the Jamborough Security Branch Agency tasked with tracking the Unmelting Bone arrived.

Their expressions darkened after seeing the array and banners behind her.

"The Unmelting Bone has a murder debt, and you're still trying to contract with it?"

"What murder debt? Do you have any evidence proving that the Unmelting Bone has killed anyone?" Shannon feigned ignorance and retorted.

The younger agent sharply pointed out, "The man's body was tainted with the Unmelting Bone's filth energy. What more evidence do we need? Don't think binding his soul with talismans will cover up the fact that the Unmelting Bone committed murder!"

Shannon's cold gaze swept across the trio. Instead of responding directly, she questioned them, "Do you even know who that man was? A scumbag who preyed on children. Do you think he didn't deserve to die?"

Her counterattack left the three agents momentarily speechless. To be fair, the man in question did deserve to die.

This was particularly true for the female agent in their group, who had a younger sister at home. Such crimes hit close to home for her, and she firmly believed that people like that man should be executed without question.

Still, the Unmelting Bone's murder crime was an entirely different matter.

Noting their silence, Shannon knew they agreed with what she'd said, so she softened her tone slightly. "The Unmelting Bone acted to save someone. It's just that he hasn't adjusted to his body, so it went a little heavy-handed… Do you have to be that harsh?"

Her tone and expression seemed to suggest they were being too unreasonable and harsh, and the other two agents twitched mildly.
