Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 913

Shannon was unaware of everything that was happening.

Once Benjamin brought her into the car, she leaned back and finally allowed herself to relax. She closed her eyes and absorbed the refined spiritual energy from Benjamin.

Not far away, Ziva watched coldly as Shannon's car drove off. Her earlier joy at seeing Shannon vanished and was replaced by bitter anger.

She turned and looked at Cecily. Her voice was hoarse with anger. "Where's the system you promised?"

Cecily flinched at her tone and shrank back before mumbling, "I did sense it moving toward us, but it wouldn't respond to me. Then, it disappeared."

She clenched her teeth in frustration. "I think… It might've bonded with one of the players on-site."

As the system's former host, Cecily could maintain a faint connection with it that allowed her to detect its location.

But the sudden emptiness she now felt could only mean that the system had found a new host and severed any last tie to her.

Reality struck Cecily that she'd truly been abandoned by the system. Though it'd left her, she'd always believed it would return, and that was her key to reclaiming her former life.

But now, she had nothing, and she blamed it all on Shannon. Shannon… That bitch!

Cecily vowed to never let it slide.

As she was mulling over her hateful thoughts, she was cut short by a sharp slap across her face. She looked up, stunned to see Ziva's cold expression.
