Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2528

With Hector in danger, how could Benjamin remain in the dark when even Shannon and Thalia had set out to rescue him?

He had followed Shannon and Thalia almost immediately after they arrived at the scene. But since the ordeal was resolved quickly, and they were all having a rare family time, he didn't interrupt them.

Even if he was dating her, he knew they didn't have to be everywhere together all the time.

Thus, he waited at Hector's villa, hoping to see him.

Before he had become Shannon's fiancé, he had been Hector's best friend. That was something that hadn't changed even after awakening his Dragon Vein consciousness.

Hector broke into a raw, unrestrained smile when he heard Benjamin had been waiting for his arrival. It wasn't the usual, polite smile he presented for outsiders, but something more relaxed and natural.

Hector walked over to the bar, casually surveying the bottles on the shelf before asking with a lift of his chin, "Drink?"

He then paused, realizing Benjamin was no longer human, before confirming, "Wait, you still drink, right?"

Benjamin cast him a sidelong glance and answered simply, "I do."

So, after just finishing a dinner gathering, Hector found himself drinking with Benjamin.

There were no fancy tricks, just the quiet clink of ice against glass and the soft swirl of color as liquor met crystal.

Benjamin sat at the bar, lifted his glass, and clinked it against Hector's. The two drank in silence.

After a long time, Hector broke the still air. "I really didn't expect them to come."

Though he worked within the Special Security Agency and the Mystic Regulatory Commission, his role was always behind the scenes. Encounters with dangerous beings like evil spirits or demons were rare, but not impossible.

He had prepared for this the moment he chose to involve himself in the mystic world two years ago.

As someone who had never awakened any innate powers, Hector had always known where his weaknesses lay. However, he never once felt anxious about it because he knew exactly where his strengths were.

Nobody could do it all. Therefore, he had resolved to master the field he could reach and make himself indispensable there.

"Frankly, I'm delighted," Hector added.
