Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 616

Mike followed Shannon and Axel up the mountain without causing further trouble.

But when they reached the school's main entrance halfway up, he approached them once more. "You must be tired from the climb. Would you like my help to escort this gentleman down the mountain?

"100 dollars, and I'll make sure he makes it down safely."

Shannon was caught off guard by his persistence. Was he determined to earn 100 dollars from her today no matter what?

Axel was equally shocked. His eyes widened again as he immediately rejected. "No need! It's just a walk down the mountain. I can do it myself, and stop bothering Ms. Jensen!"

Axel thought Mike might have ulterior motives. By the end of his sentence, he even glared in an attempt to scare him off.

He had followed Shannon smoothly and hadn't been troubled by the maze array, so he assumed that the long staircase wasn't that big of a deal.

As he spoke, he put down the suitcase and was about to head back down the mountain on his own when Shannon stopped him. "Wait a minute."

Axel turned around to see Shannon looking at Mike. She began negotiating with him with a straight face. "100 dollars is too much. 50."

Mike tried to reason with her. "I'm escorting him down and have to climb back up afterward. 100 dollars isn't too much for a round trip."

Shannon remained unwavering. "50. If you don't take it, I can escort him myself." She glanced at the golden paper figure perched lazily on her shoulder.

Mile had long noticed the paper figure. He quickly relented. "Deal!"
