Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1004

Shannon turned around sharply.

Behind her, Zane quietly gazed at her with a faint helpless smile tugging at his lips. Shannon seemed to understand everything at that moment.

A childling bore heavy karmic debt, but that was accompanied by extraordinary opportunities unavailable to others. For Zane, his must be the power of words.

…

Ziva couldn't believe how her power of words had just been broken. She instinctively looked at Shannon and suspected that the latter must've done something.

But soon, her gaze fixed on the figure behind Shannon. It was Zane, and Ziva recognized him as the sickly mute of the Jensens.

Had he just spoken? But he was supposed to be mute.

Ziva refused to accept this. She gritted her teeth and tried again. "Everyone…"

Just as she spoke, Zane turned toward her with dark and piercing eyes. Then, he shouted coldly, "Shut up!"

His raspy voice carried a weight that resonated through the air. Each word was like a crashing wave that struck Ziva's eardrums with undeniable force.

She felt an explosive ringing in her eyes before an invisible hand seemed to seize her throat. Her voice was entirely choked off.

Ziva clutched her neck. Her face was twisted in terror as she glared at Zane.

Did he have the same power of words as she did? How was this possible? Wasn't she supposed to be special?

As Ziva's power of words was neutralized, the crowd was no longer under her influence. Shannon propelled herself forward with a gust of wind and leaped toward Alaric, who hid behind his protective barrier.

She gripped her amulet in one hand and threw two thunder talismans into the air. "Boom, with power and light!"

Still reeling from Ziva's failure, Alaric barely had time to complain about her being a piece of useless trash when the two thunder talismans struck him.

The ferocity of the attack meant that Shannon wasn't holding back. Alaric wondered how she could have so many high-grade thunder talismans at such a young age.

He hastily reinforced his barrier with a hand seal, but the two bolts of lightning struck the same spot and widened a present crack.

Alaric frowned as he swiftly recalled the remnants of the black smoke for reinforcement, but Shannon moved faster than he thought.
