Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1099

Olivia's reflexive action—hugging Shannon—reminded Skylar that she had done the same to him earlier. His gaze flickered with a fleeting thought, but he quickly regained his composure.

He looked at Shannon and asked, "Got any other solutions?"

"Let me try," she said, carrying her new vintage mystic chest before wielding the hazelwood sword.

Just a glance at the thousand-year lightning-struck hazel branch was enough to feel the hidden force lying in wait. Shannon brandished the sword at the unconscious man.

At that, Martha charged up to stop her. "What are you trying to do to my boyfriend? Get away from him!"

She went up and pulled Shannon's hands, but the latter ignored her and said, "Olivia, take her away."

Receiving the instruction, Olivia unhesitatingly yanked Martha by the neck and hauled her to the side, softly saying, "If I find out that you have anything to do with the shadow spirit, I'll end you, even if it means offending the investors."

Her sweet persona, paired with her current threatening demeanor, caused Martha to widen her eyes in shock. A flicker of guilt escaped her gaze, and she refuted, "W-What the hell are you saying? T-This has nothing to do with me…"

Olivia scoffed, knowing she had been right.

Putting aside the drama between the two, Shannon pointed her sword at the shadow beneath the man. "Either you come out, or I'll beat you out of the body."

Seeing the unmoving shadow, she decisively lifted her sword. With a swift motion, she struck at the shadow beneath the man.

The hazelwood sword, infused with the power of a thousand-year lightning, was specifically designed to combat spirits and evil forces.

Just as the sword was about to strike the shadow, the shadow suddenly swelled up, quickly bulging into a human-like form.
