Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2298

Lexie stared at the phoenix flames swirling around her—astonishingly, she didn't feel even a hint of heat on her skin.

And yet, those very flames had just turned speeding bullets into smoke and ash in an instant. It completely blew her mind.

"Your phoenix flame can do that?" she gasped, eyes wide with awe.

The realization lit a fire in her eyes to match the one around her. If she had a shield like this, wouldn't it be a waste not to make a commotion?

With that thought, Lexie stopped standing around. Cradling the porcelain doll, she charged straight into the room.

She headed right for the lead auctioneer, then raised her leg wreathed in flame and launched a blazing kick straight at him.

The moment Lexie got close, the pistol in the auctioneer's hand began to melt and warp from the heat.

He didn't even have time to figure out how to deal with this walking firestorm before her blazing kick sent him flying across the room.

Seeing that, the others didn't dare get near her. Instead, they all turned and swarmed Heston.

These men were tough, sure, but at the end of the day, they were still just regular humans. At best, they might be classified as dangerous terrorists.

But Heston? He wasn't just dangerous; he was danger incarnate, the Unmelting Bone.

Therefore, Lexie had zero doubts about him being able to handle himself.

She bypassed the crowd completely and made her way straight to the stage, to the woman who had just been up for auction.

The sight made her stomach turn.

The woman was completely naked, her body marked all over with numbers and symbols—each one labeling a different body part, each number a price tag for a piece of her.

She lay strapped to the platform, wrists, ankles, and neck all locked tightly in place with silver restraints.

Lexie cursed under her breath as she tried to unlock the restraints, but with her spiritual energy sealed, she couldn't break them herself.

She asked Velquin, "Can your fire melt these locks?"
