Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1991

Once the transaction was completed, the binding contract automatically vanished.

When it was time for Eugene, Shannon was faced with a reluctant man. "Hey, Shannon. It's not that I'm trying to break the contract. It's just that I might need some time to retrieve that item from home."

Her expression was unmoving as she suggested, "You can make a Supernatural Delivery order. Pickups and deliveries are convenient thanks to them."

He scratched his head, looking extremely hesitant. "I don't think it's convenient to do a Supernatural Delivery from my house…"

He struggled for a while, then finally gave up pretending and admitted it.

"Shannon, to tell you the truth, that item isn't actually with me. It belongs to my father, and I haven't figured out how to break the news to him yet."

He added, "Just give me a few more days. Once the tournament is over, I'll head home right away and personally deliver the item to that spirit.

"You're the one who set the contract—I wouldn't dare try anything shady."

Shannon looked at him, calm and composed.

"Eugene, we're both practitioners. I trust you understand the consequences of breaking a contract with a spirit. If you can't fulfill your promise, it won't just be you—your father, as the actual owner of the instrument, will also bear the karmic burden.

"As for my side, under the Mystic regulations, your name will be blacklisted if you fail to honor the contract."

Eugene's cheek twitched at her words, and his face darkened as he looked at her.

"I already said I'm not refusing to honor the deal—I just need more time! Do you really have to be this stern, even when we're fellow practitioners?"

His tone turned more irritable, his frustration rising.

"You've got talent and connections; you've got the Special Security and Demon Control Agencies—heck, even Mystic—all on your side!

"But not everyone has it as easy as you! I'm not like you; I got here by clawing my way up, step by step. You—"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a voice. "What are you trying to say?"

The one who spoke up was Benjamin, who until now had kept a low profile, almost like a silent observer.
