Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1854

Everyone's gaze followed Erick's pointing finger straight at Benjamin.

Lexie's eyes widened in shock. Then, she blurted out, "What nerve!"

Mike had just finished dealing with the park managers and guards and was rushing back. Hearing her cursing, he queried about what'd just happened.

And when he heard Erick had proposed to switch Beau for Benjamin, his eyes widened. "Shame on you!"

Then, as if that wasn't enough, he added with more fury, "You wish!"

That was Shannon's fiancé he was talking about! Though Shannon seemed cold toward Benjamin now, Mike knew better as her friend.

Shannon might seem cold, but she was extremely protective. She'd never allow anyone she considered her own to be touched.

For instance, her turtle system. She used to chase it down and strike it with lightning, but now, she carried it everywhere and even gave it a name.

Both Lexie and Mike glared furiously at Erick, who regarded them as rude and ignored them entirely. Then, his sharp eyes locked onto Shannon. He could tell the two were a couple.

"You should consider it. It's a fair trade. We never hand over our kind to other nations easily.

"Beau created blood servants in Crisea. If you want to punish him, I can keep it off the Devil Hunter Association's records and give him to you. In exchange, you give me what I want."

Erick was not new to dealing with Crisea's mystic masters and knew their styles. Criseans valued their reputation and principles, so as long as he represented the Devil Hunter Association, they wouldn't dare act recklessly against him, no matter how outrageous his actions were.

This confidence made him bold enough to propose such a deal. Of course, this was just a negotiation tactic. If they rejected outright, he would adjust his demands accordingly.

Shannon stared at him for two seconds. Then, she lifted a hand and dismissed the barrier.

Seeing him still standing after the purple lightning strike, Shannon didn't look surprised. Instead, she watched him calmly and said after some time, "I'll give you one more chance. Say that again."

Erick almost laughed in exasperation. The question came after the lightning strike, so had it been just a warning? If he persisted, would she unleash something even worse?

Though he was confident he could escape unharmed, the current situation left him feeling slightly unsettled. Instead of pushing his limits, he said, "I want to speak to Crisea's leader!"

Young people couldn't make decisions; he needed to talk to someone who could.

Shannon said, "Sure."

Then, she pulled out several more talismans and eyed him expressionlessly. "I'll bring you and that half-beaten one to the Special Security Agency. Then, you can file your request through the proper channels."

Shannon was a field officer. She was here just to capture criminals.
