Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1859

Shannon naturally didn't feel at ease leaving Benjamin alone at an unusual time like this. So, despite her concerns, she decided to travel with him to Antique Village.

But before they could depart Jamborough, a sudden change of plans interrupted everything. It was none other than Hank arriving in Jamborough with Zane.

Zane's spiritual essence had fully recovered its strength after careful nourishment. Along with it, his once frail and sickly body had also regained its health.

Due to his childling's fate, he'd spent most of his life in a sanatorium and rarely had far trips like this, let alone travel far with Hank.

Since they'd come all this way, Shannon couldn't just leave them behind and decided to stay a day longer. Thankfully, she did.

Hank's true reason for coming wasn't just to take Scott home; it was for the Stone Turtle.

It'd been two months since Benjamin had temporarily borrowed the Stone Turtle's emerald body. During this time, they'd been so occupied with the Rift barrier and malice cursed creatures that both Shannon and Benjamin completely forgot about it.

Though the Stone Turtle was a legendary creature that belonged to no one, Hank had been nurturing its emerald body, so he had every right to take it back.

Hearing him ask for it and remembering the Stone Turtle's current state, Shannon felt a rare moment of guilt.

She glanced at Benjamin, who stood briefly in silence and went into his room. Moments later, he returned with the Stone Turtle and handed it to Hank.

Under Hank's constant feeding, the Stone Turtle had grown visibly bigger, and Scott had a vivid impression of it. Why was it that in barely two months, the Stone Turtle, once large enough to fit both Hank's hands, had somehow shrunk into a Mini Stone Turtle the size of a pinky finger?

Scott wasn't the only one who found it unbelievable because Hank could barely recognize it as its original owner.

As he stared at the Mini Stone Turtle in his palm, distress flickered through his eyes. He struggled to find words, and his voice carried a hint of resentment.

"Did you guys… not feed it?"
