Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1703

"Benjamin… I miss you," Shannon murmured.

When would Benjamin finally recover?

…

Her voice sounded like a whisper in a dream, which was soft and almost inaudible. Yet it felt as if someone had spoken right beside the ear.

Benjamin abruptly sat up in bed and brushed his fingers against his ear. Just now, he seemed to have heard Shannon's voice.

A faint warmth pulsed from his heart as if something was subtly responding. Then, a strange sensation wrapped around him.

Benjamin turned and shifted his gaze toward the window to look in the direction of Shannon's courtyard.

The lingering warmth in his ear had yet to fade, and he knew that Shannon had been murmuring. She'd been thinking of him.

An almost unfamiliar emotion spread through his chest. For the first time, he felt a vague, fleeting connection to the version of himself in his memories and the feelings he'd once felt for her.

…

The next day, Shannon and Benjamin had returned to normal by the time they had to meet again.

Nothing seemed to have changed on the surface, but deep down, something subtly had.

Yesterday, they'd agreed to identify students in Zaprath School who might've been putrefied, but hosting a selection competition to determine this would take time as the school had to make necessary preparations.

While Zaprath School prepared, Shannon and Benjamin decided to track down the idol demon Fiona had mentioned, named Verus Marquee.

After asking Bianca, Shannon learned that demons did join the entertainment industry.

Showbiz brought fame and adoration, and artists could enjoy the spotlight when facing the public, regardless of how they lived behind the scenes.

Some demons loved the feeling of being admired by humans, and Verus was one of them.

According to the Demon Control Agency's records, Verus was originally from East Coast. He'd arrived in Jambrough four years ago and accidentally joined a viral boy band survival show.
