The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 308

Chapter 308 The Sigil

The dagger was pitch black from end to end, radiating a heavy, evil aura.

And that wasn’t all–inside the iron box, there was also a folded sigil.

“Scarlett, what is this thing?” Tad asked.

“A dagger steeped entirely in evil energy.” she said, unfolding the sigil.

A sigil was essentially parchment and runes.

The parchment was the medium that carried the runes.

And the runes were the various symbols written upon it.

On the large sigil, the symbols had been drawn in cinnabar ink.

And within those symbols were three astrological charts.

Seeing those astrological charts didn’t surprise Scarlett in the least.

“What is that?” Tad stammered. “Scarlett… is that a sigil? Why would there be a sigil inside the iron box?”

Scarlett held up the unfolded sigil, stood, and turned back toward them. “Tad, this is a fortune–stealing sigil. There are three astrological charts on it. Two of them should belong to your parents, and the third should belong to the person trying to steal your family’s fortune. Someone is trying to siphon the Macks’s fortune and transfer it to themselves.”

This wasn’t even a case of exchanging luck.

It was outright theft of fortune–using the family tomb and astrological charts to damage the Macks tomb and their fortune, causing the Macks to gradually decline.

The fortune the Macks should have enjoyed for decades more would instead be transferred to the one stealing it–the person represented by that astrological chart.

After explaining this to Tad, Scarlett glanced again at the astrological chart on the sigil, it belonged to someone born the same year as her, only a few months younger. Even the exact birth time was written

there.

A faint, mocking smile appeared on Scarlett’s lips. She already knew exactly whose astrological chart it

was.

After hearing Scarlett’s explanation, Tad’s face grew paler and paler, his entire body trembling.

“Who would do something this vicious? Scarlett, how can fortune even be stolen? Why would someone want to take our family’s fortune?”

He couldn’t understand who could possibly be behind this.

Chapter 308 The Sigil

And could fortune really be stolen so easily?

Finished

Scarlett said, “Let me explain it step by step. This dagger is an evil object. It has killed many people and was later buried as a funerary item. Now that it’s been unearthed, it’s an object of extreme dark and evil

energy.

“Even if an ordinary person kept something like this in their home, misfortune would follow. Burying it in a family tomb damages the geomancy of that family’s spirit residence, and the living residence connected to it will be affected as well.

“Simply put, this dagger targets every descendant of the Macks. Your family’s fortune would be gradually destroyed as the spirit residence is corrupted, dark energy would cling to you, and your lives would slowly spiral into misfortune until something terrible happened.

“But energy always balances out. You were meant to have great fortune. Once your fortune is destroyed and disappears, the person stealing it can absorb that fortune themselves.”

Both Tad and Dudley understood immediately.

They now knew how the whole scheme worked.

But they felt both frightened and confused, unable to comprehend who would come up with such a malicious method–or who would want to destroy their family’s fortune and take it for themselves.

Then something struck Tad. Scarlett had said the sigil also contained his parents‘ astrological charts.

Tad’s expression shifted dramatically.

Only members of the Macks knew his parents‘ astrological charts.

After all, his parents had passed away many years ago.

To be precise, only the three brothers knew those details.

But the Macks had a family record. And in that record, the astrological charts of every Mack’s member were written clearly.

The genealogy was kept in the old ancestral home, in the study. It wasn’t even locked away. But hardly anyone ever entered their study, and outsiders certainly wouldn’t walk in without permission. Only family members knew where the family record was kept.

So who had leaked his parents‘ astrological charts?

“My god… who would try to steal the Macks’s fortune?”

“How could someone be so vicious?”

“This is unbelievable. How can someone just steal another family’s fortune like that?”

“Is it really that easy to steal someone’s fortune? If some bad person likes another family’s luck, could they just take it?”

Chapter 308 The Sigil

Finisher

“Of course it’s not easy. Didn’t you hear what Scarlett said earlier? That dagger is an extremely evil object. It’s killed many people and was buried for years as a funerary item. How many things like that even exist out there? And someone had to know how to draw sigils too.

“Drawing a sigil isn’t something you can just scribble randomly. That takes an expert–someone with real cultivation. And the target family also has to have strong fortune to begin with. The Macks are blessed with great fortune. So don’t worry, no one’s going to steal your family’s fortune…”

“Well, I’m not so sure. My family’s had terrible luck. My parents both passed away just two years apart.”

“That’s just your imagination. You’re overthinking it. Didn’t Scarlett say they needed the family’s astrological charts too? Do you think those are easy to get? You probably don’t even know the exact minut you were born.”

“Maybe it’s about stealing lifespan instead? Maybe someone borrowed the remaining years from my parents‘ lives. Otherwise, how could they have died so young?”

“No way… If you don’t believe it, ask Scarlett. Stealing someone’s lifespan would definitely be even harder.
