Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2047

"I guess it's fine, then."

Otherwise, the Special Security Agency would send them a ticket for randomly burning a human alive. Burning the soul was fine—it wasn't like the man didn't deserve it after abusing his girlfriend.

As they spoke, someone nearby, seeing how the man's screams of agony didn't seem faked, still called for emergency medical services… and the police.

Even though no one knew how he had suddenly caught fire, no one had forgotten what he had done earlier.

Just the fact that he beat someone up in public was enough to get him charged with assault, and that was not even counting the fact that he pulled a knife with the clear intent to kill.

While they waited for the police to arrive, the crowd didn't immediately disperse. A few older folks stayed by the woman's side, trying to calm her down, but most were still buzzing about what they had just seen.

The man bursting into flames out of nowhere had been way too bizarre.

Just then, a trendy-looking young guy casually strolled over and chimed in like it was no big deal. "Spontaneous human combustion isn't that uncommon, you know. It's totally normal."

The one who had casually stepped up was none other than Kai.

Sure, everyone knew mystic arts were real, but if word got out that someone had set a man on fire with mystic flames, it could stir up a whole mess.

Not to mention, it would make things tricky for the Special Security Agency.

As a thoughtful and slightly nosy dragon, Kai naturally took it upon himself to step in and smooth things over however he could.

Perhaps because of his matter-of-fact tone, the discussing onlookers were somewhat convinced by his words. "T-That was normal?"

Why hadn't they heard of that?

Kai's expression grew even more serious. He nodded solemnly at the surrounding onlookers.

"It's all online. There are actual documented cases. It's a real condition called spontaneous human combustion. Totally a thing—a medical phenomenon."
