Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1979

As expected, Shannon continued, "If I can't complete the required number of transactions before Phantom Market closes today, I'll offer three fox tails as the cost of failing the bet, in addition to the items I've already traded."

Bianca gasped when she heard Shannon's three tails were at stake. She knew the latter was brave, but not to this extent! Wasn't Shannon afraid she would lose the bet and sacrifice her tails?

"Do you know what our tails mean to the fox clan?"

For once, Bianca was genuinely angered—not the kind of performative frustration but true anger.

It was just a tournament that Shannon could have easily advanced using her own abilities. She had no reason to come up with such an extreme method and put her tails at stake!

But… She did it anyway.

What a lunatic. She was a carbon copy of Thalia's madness!

Bianca's thoughts were shared by Reuben and Louise, who were also watching the livestream in their respective rooms. However, unlike Bianca, neither showed the slightest hint of anger.

Although Shannon's approach seemed unhinged, it was clear that she wasn't a reckless lunatic who acted without consequences or control. She had thought this through.

There were a total of 36 participants in the mystical tournament. If the organizers' traps worked as planned, the first round would eliminate at least half of them.

On top of that, due to the harsh conditions preventing the redemption of certain items, that number would drop even further.

Besides, not everyone in the tournament would agree to the fourth method Shannon had proposed.

She was still far from reaching 15.

Just as Bianca was thinking this, she saw Skylar, Celine—whom they had seen earlier—along with Mike and Lexie, walking over.

All four of them had a noticeable spark in their eyes as they said, "Shannon, we just made a round, and including the four of us, we've found seven items with special markings.

"We've already noted the vendors' exchange requirements, so it's all about figuring out how to redistribute and get those items over to your stall."

Bianca's ears immediately perked up when she heard they had secured seven potential transactions. In an instant, she forgot about Louise's instructions to deal with Shannon harshly.

All that was on her mind now was that she needed to locate her, Cornelius', and the others' items! That way, she could help Shannon "boost her business"!
