Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1784

No one but Kai understood why Shannon would cast lightning to strike Benjamin. He was the one who had given her the initial idea, after all.

He was surprised to see Shannon finally making the move after backtracking the last two times, albeit the lightning did nothing to Benjamin.

For some reason, Kai felt even sadder that the lightning only struck Benjamin's feet. He wished she would've struck his body. That way, she wouldn't be as sad as she was now.

Kai carried Shannon as he slowly traversed the clouds above. He was not going fast, and the wind from above brushed against Shannon's hair, faintly carrying away a drop of moisture.

After flying quietly for some time, he softly asked, "Shannon, are you sad?"

Shannon didn't answer him directly. "I'm tired. Please send me home, Kai."

She wanted to go to her home in Seastone, where she could finally reunite with those she missed.

Kai simply affirmed, "Okay!"

…

Meanwhile, Shannon's and Kai's departure didn't raise many eyebrows. After all, she wasn't meant to be in this operation from the beginning.

The fact that she appeared here and was said to have controlled Hydrath was already a major accomplishment. There was no need for her to be involved in the aftermath.

Benjamin stood still, watching the figure that had completely vanished into the clouds above. After a long while, he slowly withdrew his gaze.

His expression showed no emotion, but her farewell words echoed in his ears. It seemed he had made a mistake.

Over on the Stone Turtle's head, Luke, who had remained at a distance, quietly sighed. The Stone Turtle glanced at him, its expression slightly twisted.

Not that it was trying to complain, but those three bolts of lightning had struck its carapace.

Luke glanced at it, remarking, "Don't tell me you got hurt from that."
