Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 439

Percy was taken aback. "Huh? Yeah… Right." He realized the situation belatedly and nodded profusely. "That's right. They're our guest stars. They're with the production crew."

Elliot frowned, looking conflicted. "But you guys are… family."

Hector maintained his composure. "We're indeed Shannon's family, but we're showing up as guest stars today."

Elliot became even more torn. "But the dean didn't mention any guest stars…"

"Did the dean mention guest stars aren't allowed in?"

"He didn't."

"There you go."

Everyone present, including the livestream audience, witnessed Hector's eloquence. Ultimately, Elliot nodded in agreement and allowed them to follow.

Everyone nearby looked at Hector with admiration. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also good at tricking people. If the situation involved a woman instead of Elliot…

The girls in the livestream chat expressed their stance.

"Let go of him, handsome. He's just a child. Why don't you trick me instead?"

"You're right, handsome! You are the guest star! Whoever says otherwise can fight me!"

"That's right! They're our guest stars. We can vouch for them!"

"He's so gentle. Oh my goodness. I want a brother as gentle and affectionate as him!"

"Are we… there yet?" Olivia asked weakly. She scrutinized their surroundings and found no hint of a university. "How far away is the campus? It's not on the summit, is it?"

At that, Elliot halted his steps. Contrasting to the production crew and guests' disheveled states, he looked far from exhausted.

Despite his physique, his fitness was much better than everyone else's. Even after 30 minutes of hiking, he was neither flushing nor puffing.

Instead, he maintained his shy demeanor and softly explained, "The main hall is indeed on the summit, but newcomers don't have to enroll there. We only need to head halfway up the mountain. It's near."

At that point, Eddie couldn't help but ask, "How near is near?"

Elliot gazed at Eddie, a glint flashing across his eyes. This time, his tone sounded much friendlier. "Right after these stairs."

Hearing that, everyone collectively turned their heads in that direction only to see a long, endless staircase. They couldn't help but wish they were home right then. Spirituality wasn't their thing, after all.
