Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1603

This was the first time Skylar had seen Maya's face with his own eyes since the college tournament.

Her face was still split into halves, but her face and body were now covered in large patches of red blotches. To prevent the contagion from spreading, her body was draped with talismans inscribed with sigils.

Today, Skylar had come as the future head of the Rutherford family to claim her body. When he'd first heard of her death, he hadn't felt much since she was expected to face the consequences of her actions.

Maya had colluded with the Ghost Mist Organization to steal Seastone's fortune and perished under the same entity she'd allied with. This was the outcome of her decisions and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Though the decision was made, the officer handling the corpse transfer followed the procedures and asked for Skylar's official consent.

"Maya's condition was caused by an infection from the Crimson Smoke Plague. Her body needs to be sent back to the agency for dissection and research to ensure no one else falls victim to the same fate.

"We'll take her back with us if you have no objections."

Skylar nodded. "I have no objections."

The Seastone Security Branch Agency agent took out a small box holding a sphere glowing with spiritual light.

"This is Maya's soul along with Sylvia's, which had merged with hers due to dark arts. Right now, they're completely entangled and can't be separated. Should we hand this over to SSHQ?"

As a result of the special state of the soul, officers from the underworld couldn't retrieve them. They had to report this and figure out what to do.

An agent from Special Security Headquarters frowned at the twisted mass of souls and fell deep in thought. But before he could decide, Skylar spoke up. "I'll take it."

But that didn't stop her from sensing Sylvia's presence and emotions.

Yes. Sylvia wasn't mentally well though she'd woken up. The tortoise sticker by the system couldn't sync communication with ghosts and souls, so Sylvia refused to believe Isolde's soul was just beside her.

She'd thought the mystic masters were lying to her and using it as an excuse to keep her under control.

Skylar had tried to convince her, but when she refused to believe, neither he nor the caretakers forced the issue. She'd eventually see Isolde's soul when her sight fully recovered.

That was why Skylar had agreed to take Maya's soul. Thalia had told him she'd found a new approach to undoing the face swap.

This time, there was a real chance Sylvia's true face could be completely restored.
