Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 344

Shannon suggested, "We should head back first. I'll try to mask your scent on the way. He shouldn't be able to track you down easily."

Benjamin trusted her without question and nodded in acknowledgment. "Alright then."

Hank, who had been listening to the entire conversation, looked utterly stunned. He felt that this was not at all like the devil's incarnate he was familiar with.

As the only one of his generation to become a family head at such a young age, Benjamin was naturally set apart from his peers. He rarely interacted with others, even those from the four most prestigious families.

Hector was pretty much the only person he could talk to. However, Hank couldn't argue with that since Hector was undeniably the best of their generation.

Why did Benjamin become so close to Shannon though? Could it be because of her skills? Hank felt that that didn't make sense.

Given the Cooper family's wealth and connections, Benjamin could have hired any geomancy master he pleased.

If Benjamin really needed it, he could have easily hired ten of them.

In the end, Hank truly couldn't wrap his head around it.

"I know you're capable, Shannon. However, there are some matters that shouldn't be taken lightly. If there's really a spirit going after Mr. Cooper, it's best to get a real expert involved.

Hank was genuinely trying to offer her advice. He didn't think she was merely putting on a show—he knew she was capable.

Given his past experiences, he had come to believe she was truly capable. However, he also knew that it depended on the specific situation.

Although Shannon was skilled in silencing spells, Hank believed that a real mystic master was needed to deal with formidable foes.

Ultimately, he didn't believe that Shannon was very skilled. Given her age, it seemed unlikely.

If something went wrong, she would not only endanger herself but also Benjamin. Moreover, she would have to face the Coopers' wrath.

Although Hank believed he was acting out of good intentions, Shannon didn't want to listen to him. As she debated whether to silence him again, Benjamin interjected in a calm yet uncompromising tone, "In my opinion, Ms. Jensen is a genuine expert. I believe in her."

Although it was an abandoned temple that lacked spiritual energy, it had once served as a shrine for deities. Therefore, the incense ash contained the faith of the villagers who had once come to offer their prayers.

As Hank and Benjamin watched Shannon complete her final stroke, the air in the temple seemed to clear up for a moment.

In the next moment, as they looked more closely, Hank and Benjamin saw that the two paper figures with sigils drawn on them came to life.

Benjamin's demeanor was calm and reserved. Given that he had previously witnessed a mandrake root, he showed no visible surprise when the paper figures came to life.

Even though Hank had previously experienced Shannon's prowess, he was still unable to contain his astonishment. His eyes widened in surprise as he said, "It… It's alive."

He instinctively reached out and tried to grab Benjamin. However, before he could even touch him, Benjamin seemed to have sensed his intention and deftly avoided him. After that, he directly walked over to Shannon.

"What are these?"
