Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1492

When Benjamin returned to the villa, the sky was just beginning to show the faintest hint of dawn. As he started walking up the stairs, his footsteps suddenly faltered.

He looked up and saw Shannon standing at the top of the stairs in her pajamas, watching him. It was clear she had known about his late-night departure long before he returned.

He appeared somewhat speechless. He strode up the stairs and arrived before her to ask, "Did I wake you up?"

She shook her head and pointed at her left shoulder, where Benji Gold hugged its head, looking innocent. She said, "It sensed its partner's late-night slip away."

Silently, Benjamin shifted his dark gaze to Shanny Gold, which had insisted on setting out with him, on his shoulder. At that, it covered its face and slid into his outer pocket.

Shannon looked at him and asked, "Was your matter… tricky?"

"Not really." He gave it some thought. "Just a little sly."

She fixed her clear eyes on him but said, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me."

Out of options, Benjamin eventually told her about the Dreambeast, including how it had consumed a fragment of his dream. He had to let her on, or it would be more difficult to explain why he had to pass the Demon Control Agency to catch the Dreambeast himself.

Considering how he had confessed, which was rare, Shannon swiftly stated, "You help me find the person Maya face-swapped with, while I help you search the Dreambeast."

She emphasized without giving him a chance to turn her down. "I'm part of the DCA, remember?"

In situations like this, having multiple identities or roles really showed its advantages.
