Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1591

Who knew what would happen after Shannon awakened?

Thalia bared her teeth at Reuben in a fierce display, her protective stance making it clear that if he dared to make a move, she would risk her life to stop him.

At the side, Luke smiled faintly and unhurriedly comforted her. "You don't have to worry. If Reuben forcefully takes her away, I won't sit still and do nothing as the chief of the Special Security Agency."

Couldn't this be resolved through a fight? If things got heated, Reuben wouldn't be able to have an upper hand—something he himself knew.

He and Luke had fought countless times over the years, with the wins and losses being about even. He came not because he wanted to take advantage of Seastone's crisis to snatch Shannon away.

His gaze fixed on Thalia and then on Shannon in her arms. "A child who's always sheltered under someone's wings will never grow. Even if I don't take her away today, she'll still come looking for me someday."

If she intended to control her supernatural strength and become stronger, she would inevitably seek him; it was only a matter of time. In the meantime, he would wait for her in Jamborough.

…

Reuben left decisively. Luke glanced at Thalia and said, "So, I'll leave Ms. Jensen to your care."

She slowly looked up and replied, "She's my daughter. Of course, I'll take care of her."

She fell silent before asking, "Will he… be back?"

Some among them might not have profound spiritual energy, and their mystic arts were not particularly gifted, but as citizens of Seastone, they felt the responsibility to protect it.

Even with their weak spiritual energy, they still wanted to contribute in any way they could.

Albern, Mitchell, and several prominent figures—in their soul forms—from Jamborough led the way at the front. Before coming, they had even prepared themselves for the sacrifice.

However, before they could do anything, they discovered along the way that the fortune of Seastone had already been safeguarded. While the younger generation was unaware, the elders had already guessed what had happened.

At that moment, seeing Shannon in Thalia's arms, Albern heaved a long sigh and said, "Poor thing. You should take her home first."
