Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1002

Shannon made such a quick move in launching the thunder talisman that Ziva and the nearby guests were caught off guard.

As the purple lightning whizzed toward the two, some younger onlookers covered their eyes and couldn't bear to watch the scene.

But just as the lightning was about to reach its target, it was blocked by a barrier in the form of a tortoise shell.

Alaric had formed a mudra, and the lightning had just left a faint crack on the barrier. His expression turned icy as he glared at Shannon.

"Young practitioners of mystic arts nowadays have no manners. Attacking an elder mid-conversation, did Thalia teach you that?"

Shannon's gaze sharpened at the sight of the instrument floating atop his head. "Do you know her?"

Alaric smiled sinisterly. "Ah, so it is her… Not only do I know her, but I also know where she is."

Shannon's eyes darkened. But before she could press for details, his tone shifted. "If you want to know anything about her, defeat me."

Shannon gripped her amulet tightly. Her face was expressionless as she replied, "Fine."

The atmosphere instantly tensed. The mood turned completely somber despite being in a lively and romantic theme park.

Those who'd just been rescued from the carousel reunited with their families and muttered feeling unlucky about the day's events.

"Should've stayed home," they silently muttered when Ziva raised her voice to address everyone.

"The carousel was a birthday gift to Shannon from me and Mr. Darkwood, but it's a pity she refused to get on knowing there was a problem. Instead, you unlucky folks became the victims.

"And now look at what happened. You must all feel terribly unlucky, right?"

Shannon had been on guard against Alaric. She froze at Ziva's words, and realization instantly dawned on her.

Ziva was trying to influence her guests with the power of words!
