Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 795

"If that mystic master was Elliot's junior, that means he's in the same year as Shannon, right? All the newcomers appeared on screen a few episodes ago, so why did I feel like I have never seen him before?" asked Mindy.

"There were so many of them. Perhaps we missed it." Ashley dismissed the idea.

"There are only 28 newcomers. I'd remember faces I've seen, and I'm always the fastest to recognize them. I couldn't have missed him."

After some thought, Ashley came to a realization. "Wait, I'm onto something. Didn't they say there were actually 29 newcomers, yet only 28 enrolled? Was he the missing one?"

She had just escaped death a moment ago, and it was all thanks to Shannon!

A pale Ashley ran up the stairs, ready to share her recent brush with death with Mindy. Yet when she turned on her phone, a piece of news attracted her attention.

"Tragic Incident at Comic Convention: Young Woman Dies After Fall; Passersby Nearly Caught in the Chaos…"

Ashley quickly expanded the article and saw the comic convention was the one she and Mindy planned to go to today. Once again, she was shrouded in goosebumps.

She felt an inexplicable intuition that if she hadn't listened to Mike and Shannon yesterday and had gone to the comic convention instead, the girl who committed suicide today wouldn't have merely missed hitting someone; she would've actually struck a passerby.

The passerby would be none other than her…
