Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2296

"Though this is the alternate world, the people here each have their own lives… The less we interfere, the better."

Thalia remembered what Shannon had said. So, before coming, she had asked Shannon to create a dreammaker talisman for her.

She could only hope that, from this day forward, his life in the alternate world would return fully to the path it was always meant to follow.

As the mystic light faded before Adam's eyes, the lingering, conflicted glint in his gaze dimmed little by little. At last, he slowly closed his eyes.

Watching his body slump forward, Thalia quickly stepped forward and steadied him in her arms.

She carefully laid him down on the couch, cast one last glance at him, then turned and effortlessly lifted Eddie, who lay on the floor. With that, she carried him away from the villa neighbourhood.

Elsewhere, Shannon led the group out of the realm, only to find the scene before them drastically changed.

In a lavishly decorated room, two men—one standing, one seated—were facing a computer screen.

At first, they stared at the suddenly blacked-out screen, then sensed the unusual presence in the room. Their eyes widened in shock as they turned to see the group silently appearing before them.

However, the shock lasted only a second.

Muttering curses in an unknown language, both men reflexively pulled out pistols and fired toward them without a second thought.

Having grown up in Crisea, the group had rarely encountered a situation where someone would just pull out a pistol and start shooting at the drop of a hat.

Lexie instinctively froze. Only Heston reacted immediately, his body's reflexes telling him to teleport forward.
