Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1570

Black smoke lingered near the stairway. Shannon stood beside the barrier, and her gaze was dark as she stared at Jordan.

His so-called offer was simple—it was to abandon Seastone in exchange for the safety of the Jensens. Not only would she never accept such a condition, but no one in the Jensen family would either.

"As long as Seastone stands, the Jensen family will be safe. So, I refuse."

There was no need to turn around and ask Hector or George. She knew their pride and principles well enough to know their answer.

As for the Jensen family members who remained unconscious, they were not part of her considerations.

"As for your so-called Divine Power…" Shannon paused. Her gaze flickered toward the ceiling, and she disdainfully commented, "Would it dare answer if I call it out?"

Jordan was utterly baffled. He'd expected her rejection, but he didn't expect her to dismiss even the Divine Power so lightly.

His eyes narrowed. "I heard you awakened your demonic bloodline in the alternate world, and demons fear the Divine Power the most."

Shannon met his gaze and stubbornly refuted, "Demons fear the Divine Power, but what does that have to do with me, someone who's just one-quarter demon?"

"So, there's no room for negotiation?" Jordan asked expressionlessly.

"We can negotiate, but let's change the terms."

She softened her tone and asked, "What did Ghost Mist offer you? What do you gain by taking Seastone's fortune?"

Jordan flatly replied, "That has nothing to do with you."

His gaze shifted toward Sylvia, who remained unconscious in the barrier. The special array around her gleamed faintly.

"Do you think pulling Dreambeast's true self out of her will ruin Ghost Mist's plan?"

Even with her plan exposed, Shannon didn't deny it and met his gaze. "I don't know, but I'll only find out if I try."

Jordan's eyes narrowed. "Then it seems there's nothing left to negotiate."

The moment his words faded, the black smoke lingering around him seemed to receive its command. It surged forward and rushed toward Shannon.

Shannon had been watching the black smoke's movements closely. As it made its move, she raised her amulet and held it firmly before her chest.
