Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2369

"I-Isn't it coming back?" Kai's voice trembled with a hint of unmistakable disappointment.

As the system and perpetrator of Cecily's mess, Albany hadn't been welcomed when it first appeared.

Kai used to constantly fight with it, but it had stuck around Shannon for almost three years. By now, he couldn't even remember what the system had done to control Cecily.

He thought Shannon had long since treated it as a loyal sidekick like she did Benji Gold and the others, so to learn that she'd sent it back to the alternate world…

As if realizing something, Kai couldn't help asking, "Was it its decision to stay in the alternate world? Does it not want to be your sidekick anymore?"

His voice was filled with righteous outrage, like he'd been personally betrayed.

Shannon gave him a baffled look and corrected him, saying, "It was never my sidekick."

From the moment she named it Albany, it'd always been an independent and whole being to her. Just like everyone else, it was her companion.

There was a reason why she'd left it in the alternate world.

As they were talking, Marshmallow perked up at her feet. The chubby fluff ball seemed to sense a familiar presence as it waddled toward the gate.

Moments later, it returned and led another fox in. To be exact, it was the half-demon, Fennec.

Fennec had stayed in their world after Shannon's disappearance. She'd long felt unattached to their world after spending two years in the alternate world.

Her trip was meant to report to the Demon Control Agency and share her experiences in the alternate world with Reuben before visiting her human mother.

Despite the two worlds being identical in nature, her return felt oddly unsettling. Something about this world made her feel out of place.
