Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1371

While Benjamin and Jonty talked, Shannon had finished her arrangements.

She coordinated with the police and firefighters before contacting the Special Security Agency to ensure everything was properly handled.

After resolving these matters, she walked to the corner where Brooklynn lay weak and barely conscious. Her spiritual form was damaged and her energy was depleted. Though she'd avoided direct harm from the explosion, her frailty had allowed some malevolent energy to cling to her.

She seemed aware that her end was near, so she lay motionless. There was a faint smile on her face as she weakly asked Shannon, "Are you going to deal with me now?'

Shannon didn't answer her question. Instead, she asked, 'You and Mr. Greyer had been creating counterfeit stone artifacts. Was it to replace the originals and absorb the spiritual energy contained in them?"

"You already know the answer, so why ask…" Brooklyn replied in a languid voice as though she didn't want to say more.

Shannon stared at her briefly before speaking again, "You're the Stone Spirit, so you know that spiritual energy in long-preserved stones is different from that in ordinary stones.

"But do you know that people, especially artisans who create for a living, also carry spiritual energy?"

Seeing Brooklynn turn her gaze toward her, she continued in a calm tone. "Spiritual energy in an artisan is often known as inspiration in ordinary people. And spiritual energy in humans doesn't disappear without reason.

"When you worked with Mr. Greyer, did it ever cross your mind that he might not only absorb spiritual energy from the tones but also from the artisans themselves?"

Shannon's words stuck like a lightning bolt and caused Brooklynn's pupils to tremble violently. Her eyes widened in disbelief as ripples of shock spread through her expression.

"N-No way…" Her voice quivered, and her spiritual form seemed even more fragile.

If what Shannon said was true, it'd mean that her owner's death…

"You're lying! You're just trying to make me betray Mr. Greyer by saying all this…" she screamed as she glared hatefully at Shannon.
