Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1671

"It must've been something he was putrefied with earlier, and it just happened to manifest at that moment."

As Shannon spoke, she turned to Tanger to ask about Onyx, including the latter's family and where he came from.

Tanger replied, "Onyx is an orphan demon. He was born without parents."

He'd just met Onyx a few months ago. Back then, he'd run away from home to chase his dream of becoming an influencer, and when his dream fell apart, he became completely unmotivated. Not even his favorite dried fish could cheer him up.

When he accidentally dropped his dried fish to the ground one day, Onyx suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched it away.

Tanger wasn't having it. Unbothered by the fact that Onyx was a dog, he rushed up and fought the latter on the spot. Just like that, the two of them became friends through a fight.

When Tanger learned that Onyx stole his food because the latter had nothing to eat, he generously shared half of his snacks. In return, Onyx started fighting on his behalf whenever needed.

And just like that, Tanger gained a new companion and stopped obsessing over becoming an influencer cat. Instead, he decided to focus on training and go to school to study alongside Onyx.

"Onyx didn't have a name. I was the one who gave him the name 'Onyx Barker.'"

Considering Onyx was a dog demon, Tanger integrated features associated with dogs like their claws and bark. Having the word "claw" in a name felt out of place, so Tanger replaced it with something better-sounding, like onyx.

He took pride in his naming skills and was pleased with it even up till then.

"Oh right, when Onyx fought against a crow demon who was bullying me once, his eyes turned red briefly when the fight got really intense. But they soon returned to normal."
