Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1548

The so-called people with significant fortune included not only the high-ranking government officials but also the four most prestigious families in Seastone City, along with other top-tier figures from various fields.

These individuals could be said to hold up half of Seastone's foundation. To stabilize the situation, the first priority is to protect this half of the city.

Shannon wasn't concerned about the Jensen family as Skylar was watching over them; it was the other three families that needed help.

As for the connection between the Dreameater's ability to put people to sleep and the Black Smoke Organization's attempt to seize fortune, it wasn't just a wild guess.

At that moment, the system was actively educating her. As a system capable of seizing others' fortunes, there was no existence more qualified to speak on the matter.

"There are many ways to steal one's fortune. You could do it through an equal transaction, or you could acquire one's fortune through the "gifts" bestowed by the other party.

"Another method is to covertly steal one's fortune by replacing their consciousness. The Dreambeast must be using this approach, making people fall into a dream and leaving them with no awareness. I suspect that's exactly what's happening!"

The system became enraged at that point. "Back when Jordan designed my programming, he gave me many restrictions and conditions. Otherwise, I could've quietly stolen the fortune of others like this beast!"

Jordan was truly a piece of trash. Wasn't he the one who had dragged the system down in the first place? It could've completed its mission from the Divine Power had there not been Trash Jordan and Trash Cecily in the picture.

Since being abandoned by Jordan, the system developed a deep-seated grudge. Every time it mentioned him, it would curse him for a while.

Shannon didn't pay any more attention to its grumbling. She quickly assigned tasks to everyone present and left Freya to guard Maya, Adeela, and the crew members.

The group was about to split up and act. However, just as they were about to move, they suddenly sensed a strange energy from the smoke.

From everyone's perspective, they saw the smoke in the distance gradually changing from gray to black, and that black smoke seemed to be closing in on them from all directions.

Once the tornado passed, not only was the black smoke that had been closing in from all directions cleared away, but even the foggy rain in the sky seemed to have been swept off, vanishing completely.

The surroundings became suddenly clear, and as a result, the figures of those behind the black smoke were fully exposed to everyone's view.

Three people stood before them. They had likely been standing in the spot covered by the black smoke.

Given how the smoke had been spreading, these individuals must've been planning to gradually emerge from it.

However, due to Shannon's sudden, powerful tornado, the black smoke was dispersed, and their positions were revealed. Their disheveled hair and clothing were clear signs of the unexpected disruption.

Suddenly, Thalia's scornful laughter pierced through the air. "Ha! I knew it was you, you pest!"
