Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1824

No one expected Heston to be this swift and decisive. Even the Draken villagers were startled to see their own flying backward.

As for the culprit, Heston stood in the same spot, but his usually expressionless face now held a trace of guilt. He instinctively glanced at Lexie and muttered, "I… used very little force."

He knew that as the Unmelting Bone, his strength was far greater than that of ordinary humans. So, he'd always obediently held back his strength when facing normal people.

He'd barely thrown the clump of mud back with little force, and he couldn't understand how that man still flew.

Lexie glanced at the fallen man and calmly replied, "I know. He's just too weak.'

The man was thin and frail, and his stance was unsteady. Heston hadn't used even a tenth of his strength, so it wasn't his fault.

By now, Draken villagers finally reacted as their faces flushed with anger. Not only had the group taken Archie away, but now they dared come to the village just to attack their people.

Several young men stepped forward and were ready to charge when an authoritative voice boomed from behind the crowd. "What are you doing?"

The crowd immediately parted as two elderly men walked forward through the gap.

Despite being in a village, their clothing and accessories were exquisite, and they radiated wealth and refinement at a glance. The village immediately fell silent at the appearance of the elderly men and showed respect.

Unlike the younger villagers, the two addressed Shannon's team politely. "Apologies for the scene."

One of the elders looked toward Shannon, and his gaze paused slightly on Faye. Then, he gently continued, "We heard that Archie caused some trouble during filming.

"You seem to know a little about mystic arts, but why haven't you noticed? Your fortune and those of everyone in this village are tainted with karmic debt."

Before the chief could argue, she looked toward the young villagers and lightly commented, "In recent years, your villagers haven't had any who lived to old age, have they?"

Her question was met with silence. Her words struck a nerve.

Even if they didn't understand her words about karmic debt, it was true that their elders hadn't lived to old age. Among them, there were several who'd lost their parents early.

People who seemed strong and healthy passed away even before reaching the age of 60.
