Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1173

Team Seastone had given Myla the ghost bottle and now had her join their dinner. It almost felt like she was an honorary member of Seastone.

Team Jamborough and Team Northgate were starting to feel a little jealous.

…

Shannon's team put aside the thoughts of other teams and headed straight to a well-known fried chicken restaurant.

Freshly fried chicken drizzled with savory sauce filled the air with a mouthwatering aroma.

As they began to dig in, Myla shared the story of the evil spirit from her team. "I heard that your evil spirit sounds more pitiable. Ours was just an evil spirit who killed several victims."

Myla recounted how she'd uncovered the evil spirit's lingering attachment. The more she dug deeper, the angrier she grew.

"I've been an underworld traveler for two years and have captured a few evil spirits, but none were as wicked as this. Like Shannon said either, its lingering attachment stems from pure malice."

She explained they'd found a family haunted by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was named Fingen Zigler.

Fingen had been downright vile in life. His father died young, and his mother raised him through hard efforts. When Fingen grew up, he made some quick money through indecent means and got married, but he abandoned his mother in a dilapidated house.

Instead of caring for his aging mother, Fingen lavished care on a mastiff. He never leashed it, and when he took it for a walk one day, it attacked and killed a smaller dog.

When the dog's owner confronted him, Fingen responded by beating the former so severely they suffered a concussion. This incident led to Fingen serving a short jail sentence and paying compensation.

Upon his release, Fingen held a grudge against the owner but wanted to avoid another arrest. He hired local thugs to relentlessly harass the family and target not just the owner but also her husband and child.

The harassment became so severe that the owner and her child fell down the stairs.

The family was forced to move away in terror.
