Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1708

Shannon and Benjamin questioned Verus further about his supernatural power changes, but the latter couldn't provide any useful information.

Since his condition was noticeably different from the previous two cases, Shannon reported the situation to the Demon Control Agency to be safe and requested temporary surveillance.

After handling Verus' putrefaction, she turned to Anton. "You just said he stole fans for you. Have you always known he's an oceanid?"

She'd listened closely to Anton's earlier explanations and was curious about their relationship.

Anton explained, "I didn't know at first. He carefully hid it since oceanids can't reveal their identity." But it hadn't been successful.

Though Verus tried to keep it a secret, he always slipped up in many ways. Anton couldn't pretend not to know even if he wanted to.

Looking back to their first meeting, Anton had been stranded hundreds of yards offshore in deep water. Verus had saved and brought him back to shore within minutes without any watercraft. That alone was far from normal.

Anton continued, "As for the fact that he stole fans for me, that's actually true. To be exact, he joined the entertainment industry for me."

Hearing this, Shannon gave the two a weird look. Were her suspicions about their relationship just a misunderstanding?

Though her expression was subtle, Anton sharply noticed and seriously emphasized, "I swear, we're just an artist and his manager."

But outside of that professional bond, Verus was his most important friend.

Shannon finally heard the full story of why Verus came to Jamborough. To sum it up in one sentence, Verus, an oceanid, traveled across the ocean to become Anton's artist, just because the latter said he had none.
