Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 896

Trapping the last remaining mouse player forever meant to trade one person's freedom for the freedom of all.

Scott became the first to step up and roared, "What makes you think you can do that to Shannon? Don't even think about it!"

He turned around to face the crowd, crying out, "Don't be threatened by it! We came into this game together, so we must leave together! Nobody should be left behind!"

"Exactly! Each and all of us together! There must be a way to get out of this stupid place!"

Shannon was pleasantly surprised to have Scott as her number-one defender. She looked at him with a trace of admiration, thinking the emerald pendant she had given him hadn't gone to waste after all.
