Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1805

Benjamin didn't understand Kai's frustration. Instead, he asked in return, "Why should I make her feel touched?"

He calmly continued, "Feeling touched doesn't untangle knots in her heart, and my past sacrifices can't erase the pain she's endured."

Even if that could soften Shannon and ease their relationship, it'd only be a compromise forced by guilt. That wasn't what Benjamin wanted.

Plus, she didn't like seeing him hurt, especially if the wounds were sustained for her sake.

Hearing his calm analysis, Kai was so frustrated he almost laughed in anger.

Had Benjamin ever been in a relationship? Well, he surely hadn't, which might explain why he could rationally dissect everything.

Without realizing it, Kai had switched sides from supporting Shannon to helping Benjamin. Then, he asked, "Tell me, what's your plan?"

He'd like to hear just how rational and logical Benjamin's approach to win back Shannon was.

Benjamin looked at Kai for a moment and finally said, "I don't know."

Neither his memories as the Dragon Vein nor his memories as Benjamin contained experience dealing with something like this.

Even if they did, perhaps those memories had long since been buried beneath the vast ocean of his existence, so he truthfully had no idea.

Kai was at a loss for words. This was bad.

While Shannon and Benjamin were tangled in their unresolved tension, mystic masters of Krovia finally caught wind of the completion of the Rift barrier.

Mystic masters of Krovia, also known as shamans, rushed to investigate the ocean borders and did find the Rift barrier.

Within just two days of the barrier erection, nuclear wastewater that should've dispersed into open waters began to flow back. Countless marine creatures lining the coasts had died from the putrefaction exposure.

Shamans from Krovia were completely losing it.
