Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1282

Mathias had no idea why he had suddenly become a ghost. He remembered he was driving when his back felt so chilly that not even the heater could help. Instinctively, he looked into the rearview mirror.

At that moment, he locked eyes with a pallid man who bled from seven orifices. During the eye contact, the man flashed him a sinister smile.

Horror engulfed Mathias as he slammed the brake pedal. He was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body, and he began to doubt whether he was still alive.

He had been trying desperately to find someone to help, but no one could see him. Then, he saw Myla.

The moment he laid eyes on her, it felt like he had found a savior. After all, she was someone who practiced mystic arts. Surely, she could help him.

However, another glance at her stiffened his expression.

Floating before him, Myla was dressed in a modern yet striking outfit. She wore all black, with a baseball cap that read "Peace for All" in bold letters.

In her hand was something that looked like a traditional "mourning staff", a long, slender stick used in rituals—though he wasn't sure of the exact name.

Since the time Myla scared him by claiming she was an underworld traveler, he had purposely searched it up and, at the time, dismissed it as a part-time job for an undertaker.

He assumed she was just trying to scare him. After all, there wasn't such a thing as an underworld traveler in real life.

She was initially planning to ask him what had happened, thinking that if he pleaded with her, she might consider sending his soul back to his body. However, his sudden reaction caught her off guard.

After a brief pause, she quickly realized what was going on. Her head tilted slightly downward as she looked up at him, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips.

With a look devoid of emotions, she grimly said, "Mathias Turner, your time is up. Come with me."

When Mathias heard that, he was in such a panic that he cried, screaming, "No! I'm not coming with you! You can't take me away! I don't wanna die yet…"
