Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2420

For the next half hour, Shannon and Hector were forced to endure a long-winded rant from Kai about his miserable days of being forced to work tirelessly with Luke.

Shannon summed it up. "So basically, Luke told you that it is your duty as a dragon to step up during critical moments, and you willingly worked at the Special Security Agency for days?"

Listening nearby, Hector chuckled at her summary but didn't say much.

At first, Kai thought her summary was accurate, but the more he thought about it, the more something felt off. "I wasn't completely duped. He promised me things in return, and that's why I agreed."

Hector raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"

"He said that I'm the hope of the younger generation of dragons, and I'll eventually take over his position at the Special Security Agency. So, if I'm gonna be in charge one day, it's only right that I get familiar with work early!"

When Kai mentioned being the hope of the dragon race and taking over the Special Security Agency, his face lit up with pride. He'd clearly believed Luke's words.

Shannon and Hector exchanged a glance, and both saw sympathy and helplessness in each other's eyes.

How could Kai have the nerve to say that he wasn't easily duped? He'd clearly been tricked into oblivion!

This whole bit about taking over Luke's place at the Special Security Agency was a fantasy that would shatter if Kai had just spent a day working somewhere else.

This was the kind of promise a CEO would tell a brand-new intern. "Work hard, and one day this company will be yours."

Clearly, Luke was swamped. Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to tricking a juvenile dragon of barely two years.

Shannon didn't have the heart to shatter Kai's beautiful dream, but as a good friend, she felt the need to remind him. So, she asked a tactful question, "Didn't you serve as a protector for Benjamin with Cornelius? When Luke came to you for help, didn't he ask Cornelius?"

The dragon clan didn't have many younglings to begin with, and only Kai and Cornelius had been born in the past hundred years.
