Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1656

At the Special Security Headquarters in Jamborough, Benjamin sat at his desk with a thick bill from Mystic before him.

It was the bill for when he'd ordered Zidane to activate the special mystic network following the incident in Seastone.

The events in Seastone were key to the return of his Soul of the Dragon Vein. Benjamin didn't have to recall them on purpose, and the memories surfaced naturally.

Ignoring the additional figure in those memories, he shifted his gaze from the bill to another report. It was from the Demon Control Agency detailing the formal establishment of a collaboration channel between the Demon Control Agency and Mystic two months ago.

"The demon clan was initially resistant to working with Mystic. What changed their minds?" Benjamin directed his question to Reuben, who was seated on the couch across from him.

The awakening of the Dragon Vein and Benjamin's return were significant events for both the Special Security Agency and the Demon Control Agency.

When Benjamin had been absent, Reuben had the freedom to disregard the Demon Control Agency's subordinate status within the Special Security Agency and openly oppose Luke.

But now that Benjamin was back and intended to reassert control over the mystic arts and demon community, Reuben naturally had to readjust his stance.

Hearing the question, Reuben cast a glance over and indifferently replied, "The reason we didn't participate was that the demon registry was complicated.

"But since Mystic's operations have matured in recent years, a certain degree of cooperation isn't necessarily a bad thing for the development of the demon clan.

"The future of the demon clan belongs to the young. If they want to embrace something new, we should let them."

He paused briefly and casually added, "This change was largely driven by a half-demon fox cub we recently reclaimed. She's Shannon Jensen; you met her a few days back."

Benjamin's expression remained unchanged at the mention of the name. His tone was as steady as ever. "I know her."
