Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1574

Shannon stared at "Adam" before her, and a chill crept up from the soles of her feet. But it was quickly swallowed by an uncontrollable rage.

"What have you done to him?"

This wasn't just a mere illusion; the man standing before her carried the energy of Adam's soul. Adam was in his hands.

"Just borrowed a little energy from his soul channel. I told you, didn't I? I make the rules within my black smoke," the suited man replied.

Just like how he could easily conceal Skylar within the black smoke, he could just as easily extract a person's soul with a single thought.

Before coming to the Jensen residence, he'd visited Jensen Corporation's headquarters.

Watching as Shannon's pupils burned red with fury, he smiled gently as if pitying her. "But you didn't fall for it at all. Seems like this spell needs some improvement."

As he spoke, his tone carried disappointment in his spellwork.

Watching him wear Adam's face while making such pretentious expressions, Shannon snapped for the first time ever. A surge of golden light erupted around her as she charged forward with her raised amulet.

"Shannon, don't! He's trying to incite you on purpose!" Skylar's warning rang out.

But it was too late. The man's lips curled, and with a flick of his hand, the black smoke around him twisted. A mass of darkness coiled like a serpent and lunged at her.

Shannon's instincts screamed for her to swing her amulet. But as the black smoke came into contact with the golden light, it curved away and attempted to strike from the other side.

Shannon eyed him coldly and took some time to respond. "Do you know why I saw through you immediately?

"It wasn't because your disguise is flawed; it's because my father would never speak in that sickeningly pretentious tone."

It was rare for her to show such blunt disgust. The man's expression darkened for the first time, then it was gone. "Oh. What a shame."

Shannon stared him down as her mind worked rapidly. From their brief interaction, she could tell this man wasn't easily provoked and preferred being in control. He wanted to play a deity and watch his victims struggle with despair and rage.

But he wasn't a deity.

If he were as all-powerful and flawless as he claimed, why was he just an elder of Ghost Mist Organization and not the mastermind?
