Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1315

Xander Hickman was Layne's son.

Though Poisy had promised not to harm the innocents last night, Shannon couldn't ignore the resentment and anger in her eyes. She decided to take precautions just in case.

The two protective talismans were meant for Layne's family, and as for Layne himself, his fate was none of her concern.

Technically, she should've reported Layne to the Special Security Agency for hunting demons. But there were no traces of dark arts on him, and there weren't any obvious signs of an array in his villa. Plus, Layne had no idea Poisy was a demon the whole time.

The Special Security Agency could detain him for questioning, issue a verbal warning, and impose a fine for compensation. Such light punishment couldn't ease Poisy's resentment or teach Layne a lesson.

Scott knew who Xander was. The latter was an unremarkable figure at their school.

He couldn't understand why Shannon would go out of her way to give Xander proactive talismans, but since Shannon had given him the task, he didn't ask questions and promised to complete it without fail.

With that task assigned, Shannon finally took a moment to relax.

Two days later on the third day, Adam handed Shannon the property deed to Layne's villa. Though she didn't know how he'd managed in such a short time, Layne did agree to vacate the villa that day.

Shannon immediately brought her mystic chest to the villa.

The moment she set foot on the villa grounds, the same strange sensation crept up to her. Yet she found no traces of arrays after inspecting every corner.

After mulling it over, her gaze fell to the ground beneath her feet. If there were no traces in the villa, that would leave the possibility that it must be underground.

She didn't hesitate. Instead of bothering Adam, she whipped out her phone and called Thomas. "Thomas, could you send a construction crew over?'

After dismissing everyone, she set up four array-breaking talismans at each corner. Then, she formed mudras to channel her spiritual energy and began to chant.

"O' divine forces, heed my call; clear the fog and restore the light!"

With her command, the four talismans emitted cracking sounds as the barrier began to splinter.

The moment the array cracked, waves of ferocious supernatural energy burst forth through the fissures and surged rapidly upward.

Shannon's heart trembled violently. Through the surge of supernatural energy, her spiritual energy finally identified what lay beneath the earth. It was a colossal serpent skeleton.

More precisely, it was the skeletal remains of a serpent demon. And it was not just any demon, it was a powerful demon!
