Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1691

Tobias was too exhausted to deal with his father and stepmother. Also, why would he help Bryan, who had tried to haunt him to death, back to their family?

He didn't care whether he would be labeled selfish or cold-blooded; he simply didn't want to be entangled with the family anymore.

Shannon wasn't surprised by his decision, never mind advising him to be the bigger person or whatnot. She packed the "burrito" and told him, "If you want to go through the internal process separately, you'll need to pay extra."

At that, Tobias finally smiled for the first time since last night. "Sure."

After leaving Bryan in the hands of her Mystic colleague, Shannon went through the internal process for his death within the Special Security Agency. Eventually, the Agency would sync the information with the police, who would then notify the family.

After the matter was resolved, Kai asked her, "Hey, Shannon. What did you mean when you said his body was unlikely to be found?"

They were here to seek Bryan's corpse today, yet they gave up entirely because it was unlikely to be uncovered.

Shannon briefly explained, "Ghosts, especially new ones, have a strong sense of where their bodies are. Some ghosts, after seven days, are drawn back to their bodies or try to see their loved ones one last time—this is what people commonly refer to as the seventh night."

She paused, glancing at the wall where Bryan had been standing earlier, her voice taking on a somber tone. "But just now, when he stood at the place of his death, he couldn't sense his body's location. That means his body is gone for good."

If the body were still there, the soul would still have some kind of connection, even if it had been reduced to pieces and buried in cement. But in Bryan's case, his body hadn't just disappeared—it had been completely erased.
