Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1658

Shannon met Cornelius' gaze without flinching. His reaction alone confirmed that her guess was correct.

Among all members of the special demon class, Shannon had crossed paths with Cornelius the most. But they'd never fought each other directly during the college tournament or when they rescued the kidnapped young demons three months ago.

She had a guess three months ago, but after yesterday's match, she was certain that Cornelius was indeed a half-demon.

But strangely, he was different from her and all the other half-demons in the school. It seemed that no one, not even the demons in the special demon class, was aware of this fact.

"You don't have to glare at me like that. I have no intention of exposing your identity."

Under normal circumstances, Shannon wasn't interested in prying into others' secrets or revealing things they wanted to keep hidden.

Curiosity was not the only reason she brought it up. Instead, it was what the instructor had just told her about the unique nature of dragon bloodlines.

Unlike her, who'd acquired her powers through a random opportunity, the dragon clan had once naturally produced beings powerful enough to wield dual supernatural powers.

For some reason, Shannon thought of Cornelius at that moment. Though he was a half-demon, his power and traits were identical to those of a pure-blood demon. That was why no one had ever discovered his true identity.

If ordinary dragons possessed denser and more potent supernatural powers than most demons, was it possible that a half-blood dragon would wield perfect supernatural powers even with just half of that bloodline?

Thinking about her theory and the familiar, almost identical presence she'd sensed from Cornelius during their fight yesterday, Shannon ignored the murderous coldness in his stare and asked, "Are you a half-blood dragon?"

The bone-chilling air around Cornelius wavered for just a split second. Though his expression remained unchanged, the slight dilation of his pupils betrayed the turmoil in his eyes.

Shannon said nothing to that reaction. Sure, she was right again.
