Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2401

"Whatever concerns Shannon is my business," Benjamin announced.

Caught off guard by the blatant show of affection, Zidane decided to ignore the couple and opened the ghost gate to leave. He assumed Mordecai would follow, but instead of leaving, the latter remained where he was.

Mordecai turned to Shannon and said, "I have a request as well." His voice was low, composed, and there wasn't the faintest hint of threat.

Benjamin's expression darkened. Had Mordecai not listened to a single word that was just said?

Just as Benjamin was about to forcibly send him away, Mordecai began. "Zidane refused to reassume the position of Morvahn, and the punishment he received was ordained by the Divine Power itself.

"Though you no longer hold the title of the Divine Power, you are still, in essence, its successor. I hope you'll restore his identity in its name."

At the very least, Zidane could be free to walk the human world as himself and not be shackled by endless cycles in reincarnation from this lifetime onward.

It wasn't that Mordecai wanted Shannon to intervene, but there were things only she could handle.

Shannon hadn't expected that request. If Mordecai mentioned Zidane didn't want to retake control of the underworld, that meant he'd considered giving the role of Morvahn back.

Though Zidane refused, she had a feeling it wasn't because the Divine Power stripped him of his identity. He didn't seem like the guy who'd obediently accept a punishment without a fight.

"Was there another reason he refused to take the role of Morvahn?"

Mordecai paused to think before replying, "He wants to expand Mystic and replace the underworld."

Shannon and Benjamin were utterly baffled. Sure enough, that was the wild, ambitious Zidane they knew.

The most shocking part was that, as the current Morvahn, Mordecai wasn't even upset. If anything, he looked like he supported Zidane's dream of expanding Mystic and swallowing up his realm of control.
