Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 925

"Until I confirm that you're telling the truth, you'll stay right here in this tortoise," Shannon coldly declared.

The system was utterly stunned. Shannon had used a talisman seal to trap it in the tortoise. Now even if it could gather enough energy, it would never be able to escape.

How insidious! How could a human be this devious?

The system nearly dropped its calm facade in rage and launched a tirade in frustration. But since Shannon was no longer holding the amulet, she couldn't hear its complaints.

She added another talisman seal to the tortoise's shell to ensure the system couldn't escape even if it regained energy. Only then did she dispel the barrier and pick the tortoise up from the floor.

Half an hour later, the Jensens who'd been about to leave gathered in the study at Shannon's call. They crowded around the table and eyed the small, slow-moving tortoise in the middle of the tray.

"Shannon, is this… the so-called system?"

"Is that what the system looks like?"

"Hmm… It looks like a tortoise."

Thomas had stocked the pond in the Jensen residence's backyard with a few tortoises including one with mosaic scutes. Eva had eagerly claimed it as a pet.

She'd brought it to share with Shannon and didn't realize she'd presented the system with a perfect host.

When Alex heard that this was Eva's tortoise, he noticed the look of pride on her face and pulled her aside to warn sternly, "You're not allowed to touch this pet tortoise again."

Though Shannon had reassured him that the system was sealed, who knew if it might still escape? He was worried that it could bring misfortune.

Then, he turned to Shannon and said in a reproachful tone, "Shannon, get rid of this tortoise at once! Since you know how dangerous this system is, why bring it here and show it to us?"
