Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 750

Shannon and Benjamin were far from being conversational people. The dinner unfolded in silence, the only sounds being the soft piano melodies that filled the spacious restaurant.

With a stunning night view, flowers, cake, and music, anyone else would have dreamed of being in such a romantic setting.

But not Shannon; she wasn't in it, nor did she dare to entertain such thoughts. Since learning mystic arts, she viewed the world differently.

Like the countless lights before her, a dazzling night view, she saw shades of gray and vibrant colors floating above those lights instead. That was the energy of the city.

Composed of the people living in this city, desires, wealth, beliefs, and fortunes intertwined. When similar fortunes drew close, the atmosphere above their surroundings would gather the same hues.

For example, the golden hue in the sky where the big shots gathered at the summit in Northgate. Those colors, in a way, represented a city's fortune.

Then, there was the dazzling gold radiating from Benjamin now.

Her gaze landed on him, and it wasn't until moments later that she asked softly, "I haven't asked you this, Benjamin, but why did you take that lightning strike for me?"

She believed that even if she had been struck at that time, the protective instruments on her would've saved her life; she knew she could've protected herself.

Even if she couldn't, that meant it was her destiny. She never would've wanted or anticipated anyone to take that danger for her.

But Benjamin did. He bolted and shielded her without a second of hesitation. She would be lying if she said she wasn't touched. In that split second, she felt true horror.

Frankly, she was afraid of putting him in danger. She revealed to him that he was protected by a golden light, which was impervious to evil spirits and sheltered by the Divine Power, and that he was the most special being she had ever encountered.
