Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1267

Shannon frowned.

She was about to explain that Lexie came from a reputable family with legitimate training when Benjamin, who'd been silent, spoke up.

"SSHQ has approved it. As long as Lexie succeeds in contracting with the Unmelting Bone, she'll join the SSHQ early like Shannon. Similarly, the Unmelting Bone she contracts with will also be an official member of the SSHQ."

He turned to the team leader and continued, "Enforcing the law isn't an issue if they're part of the SSHQ. If you doubt this, you're welcome to confirm it with Luke."

The team leader's eyes narrowed at Benjamin's casual mention of Luke's name. His curiosity toward Benjamin was piqued.

But before he could probe further, Benjamin raised a phone that was in the middle of a video call. On the other end of the screen was none other than Luke himself.

Luke's role in the Special Security Agency was unique, and he rarely appeared publicly. Many agents could go years without catching a glimpse of him.

Though the team leader had met Luke once, he didn't have the latter's direct contact, let alone the ability to video call him so casually.

They wondered what relationship the "newcomer" had with Luke.

Approved? Nonsense. Luke had just received a sudden notification from Benjamin moments ago and hadn't had time to inform the higher-ups.

Though he cursed deep down, he maintained his composure and put on a stern face. "But that is only if the contract is successful."
