Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1684

The oppressive pressure from the supernatural energy emanating from each household made Tobias feel as if his feet were weighed down by a thousand pounds. But at the same time, the cold, ominous presence that had been following him vanished in an instant.

Indeed, he had run into a ghost. Tonight, his deceased brother had come to him, relentlessly demanding that he pay with his life!

Tobias had never encountered anything like this before. Though his line of work required him to be somewhat familiar with geomancy to avoid upsetting his clients' taboos, he didn't personally believe in it.

That was until he saw his brother's ghost tonight. Amidst his panic, he only thought of Shannon.

She was the employer he had just helped with a job, and when he first met her, he instantly recognized her as the famous mystic master online. He believed she was the one who could save him tonight.

When he received the final payment for the job yesterday, Shannon warned him that he might face danger soon and advised him not to go out at night.

He had taken her words to heart, but after accepting the high-paying job, the employees under him insisted on celebrating, and he couldn't bring himself to refuse. Who could've known that it would lead to this?

Though Shannon had previously told him not to come near this area after dark, his brother's ghost was out for his life, and he couldn't afford to worry about any of that.

Now, feeling the cold, ominous presence vanish behind him, Tobias felt a wave of relief. He was sure it was because Shannon had set up a protective barrier around him.

It was like those famous sanctuaries, where protective forces kept the area safe, making it nearly impossible for any evil to draw near.

Tobias thought to himself, though he could clearly feel the eerie sense of being watched from all directions, he attributed it to some form of protective strength Shannon had invoked.

With that in mind, he reverently bowed his head and clasped his hands together, offering a quick prayer toward the quiet, empty street.
