Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2297

Sure, Shannon had acquired her tenth tail power, but what happened to having one's supernatural power restrained in the alternate world?

Fennec's gaze toward Shannon was particularly complicated.

When they had parted ways the last time they were here, Shannon had only just awakened her supernatural strength, barely more than a fledgling half-demon.

Yet in just over two years, she seemed to have become someone entirely beyond the girl Fennec had once known.

Despite the storm of thoughts churning in their hearts, no one forgot why they were here.

"Those two had the authority to discuss high-level deals. That means they're at least mid-tier operatives. If this place is only one of their bases, there must be at least one senior official overseeing it," Shannon analyzed swiftly.

Then, she gave a clear directive. "Let's split into two teams and find that top-level handler."

Once they located the man in charge, they could trace the chain back to its source—the true mastermind behind this entire operation, and more importantly, the one scattering the malice.

Given they were in the alternate world, both Lexie's and Elliot's spiritual energy was being suppressed.

That, combined with the fact that the place was crawling with dangerous individuals, led Heston and Velquin to team up with her, while Fennec, Shannon, and Elliot formed the other group.

The six split off to follow the trail of malice.

In truth, Shannon's Ten-Tailed's domain had already mapped out the entire building upon activation, pinpointing the exact location where the foulest concentration of malice gathered.

She led her team directly toward it, while Velquin used his own senses to guide the others through the building.

Anyone encountered on the way was swiftly dealt with. As Shannon's trio emerged into view, security cameras locked onto them.

At that same moment, the supposed upper-level handler issued a kill order through the surveillance system.

But before his command could even echo down the line, Shannon's group, following the dense trail of his malice, blinked into existence behind him.

The burly, dark-skinned man froze, staring in disbelief at the three unfamiliar foreign faces now standing in his private room.

Before he could even open his mouth to call for help, Shannon raised a hand, and the world around him vanished as he was dragged into her domain.
