Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1087

That was Marshmallow's pet house. Although it was obedient and nice, it would definitely get mad at Shannon if she allowed a demon to sleep in it.

She had no intent to look after Rhodes, so she naturally wouldn't lend him Marshmallow's pretty pet house either.

Faced with her adamant decision, Rhodes could only back down. "Fine. Consider my plan of intrusion failed," he thought.

That said, he wasn't going to sleep under some bridge. He had a place in mind.

Before coming here, he saw a fast-food joint on his way. Once he transformed into his human form, he could stay there for the night. It wouldn't be his first time doing that.

Apparently, it was a franchise and was open 24 hours a day, allowing anyone to spend the night there.

With that in mind, Rhodes exchanged phone numbers with Shannon and eventually left.

Once he did, Scott lamented, "Shannon is too soft-hearted."

Hank was baffled, though he quickly agreed. She might be indifferent most of the time, but she could get overly kind at times.

…

By the time Rhodes left, it was almost 4:00 am. The raw-stone-thief matter had practically been resolved, so Shannon waved at the two and returned to her room.

Hank intended to follow Scott into his room, but the latter harshly rejected him. "Shannon said it's fine now. Do you not trust her?"

Hank stared at him. "If you're so confident in her, why don't you sleep with me in my room tonight?"

At 10:00 am the next day, a Maybach halted before a fast-food joint specializing in fried chicken.

Dressed in hip-hop attire and a black mask, a teen alighted from the back seat and entered the enterprise.

After scanning the surroundings, he went up to the second floor. Passing by the customers, he eventually arrived at a dim corner.

Rhodes, sleeping in the corner, sensed a familiar presence and shot up. Once he looked up, he was met with the teen's cold eyes.

The teen raised his chin at him, sounding cool and mysterious. "Don't talk, and come with me."

Rhodes couldn't help but secretly complain, "What a strange young wyrm."
