Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1322

Some of the firefighters present could recognize Shannon, and some could faintly recall hearing the Special Security Agency's reputation.

They weren't sure what to make of the situation, but seeing Layne on the verge of death and with concern for their captain, who might've been bitten, they quickly loaded everyone into the vehicle.

After making sure no one else in the villa was hurt, they hurried Layne to the hospital.

Upon examination, it was discovered that Layne had been bitten by at least six snakes, four of which were venomous. Fortunately, they were common venomous species, and the hospital had the necessary antivenom.

As for the fire captain, who'd been covered by more than a dozen snakes, he had no injuries at all. The other firefighters, who'd grabbed the snakes with their bare hands, were equally unharmed.

By now, even the most skeptical among them had to admit that the snakes had targeted Layne. The looks directed at him grew more complicated.

Though snakes were dangerous, they usually wouldn't attack unless provoked. The fact that so many snakes had come seeking revenge suggested Layne might've committed an unforgivable sin in secret.

Whatever his misdeeds were, they were none of the firefighters' concern.

Meanwhile, the incident with the snake swarm had caused quite a stir. Coupled with Shannon acting under the name of the Special Security Agency, Seastone Security Branch Agency soon sent someone to the scene.

That someone was none other than the old acquaintance, Triston.

Seeing the two serpent demons in the villa, he couldn't help feeling a headache coming on. Cases involving coordination with the Demon Control Agency were the most troublesome.

"Layne has karma with you, so you have the right to seek reasonable revenge. But your actions involved attempted murder and endangering innocent lives.

"By regulation, we are required to detain you and transfer you to the Demon Control Agency for further handling."
