Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1679

Shannon's somber expression prompted Reuben to say, "This is something Sire knew fairly well. I know you feel some kind of way toward him because of your relationship with the previous version of him, but I must say… You're not needed for protecting him.

The dragon clan had existed since ancient times to protect the Dragon Vein.

Although Luke appeared to be the chief of the Special Security Agency, his main priority had always been The Enigma. Whenever Benjamin summoned him, he would immediately rush to his side, regardless of what he was doing.

Shannon's control over her supernatural power might be impressive, but to Luke, she was still a young demon.

He raised a brow. "How so?"

Her gaze was full of sincerity as she said, "He protects the Dragon Vein, while I protect Benjamin."
