Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2306

As the group stepped out of the domain, they returned to the gaming room Adam had first lent them.

Once they appeared, everyone's sharp gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the severed fox tail lying on the carpet. It was Thalia's and now lay casually discarded on the floor with the blood on it seeping into the carpet fibers.

Lexie's eyes reddened. She moved to retrieve it, but Albany was faster. With a flash, it darted forward and grabbed the tail in its mouth before bringing it to Shannon.

Shannon's fingers were stiff as she took the blood-drenched tail. With a twist of her hand, she stored it in her domain.

When the tail was carefully tucked away, everyone shifted their cold, sharp gaze toward the sickly man half-reclining on the couch in unison.

After Vlad ripped apart Thalia's domain and escaped, he realized that Adam, who'd been lying on the couch, had vanished with her.

She'd severed a tail to forcefully extend her domain. It wasn't meant to kill Vlad in it. Instead, she'd seized it as a chance to take Adam away under the former's nose.

It was a clever yet foolish move.

Though Vlad knew that Thalia's move would bring reinforcements, he had not fled. Instead, he'd stayed here and waited for them to return.

Under their seething, murderous gazes, he slowly opened his eyes while lying on the couch and said, "I did not intend to harm her at first."

Adam and Thalia weren't important to him, but Shannon and the others were about to touch the stronghold where he controlled his people. So, he had to give them a reason to turn back.

"You never belonged to the alternate world, so why insist on meddling in its affairs?"

His voice was gentle when he spoke and tinged with weakness, looking just like the man from their original world. Just from his appearance, no one would ever imagine that he was the incarnation of human malice.

There was no need for further debate. Once Fennec confirmed that this was Vlad's true form, she stepped forward and raised her hand to summon the Might of the Divine Power.

She cast a barrier and sealed all of them inside, including Vlad. It wasn't just to prevent his escape, but also to connect to the Alternate Divine Power.

Fennec's energy came from the Alternate Divine Power. Though they had yet to uncover the mastermind behind the wars between nations and human trafficking rings, they now knew that Vlad was deeply involved.

Now, they would present everything to the Alternate Divine Power and force it to make a choice.

As the guardian of the alternate world, Fennec could barely communicate with the Alternate Divine Power through the Might.

She raised both hands and formed rapid mudras. With the Might, she began chanting in a clear, swift voice.
