Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1373

Shannon took a truth talisman and stuck it on Brooklynn's true form. Then, she said, "Repeat what you just said."

Brooklynn was utterly speechless. She hadn't doubted Shannon, yet the latter was suspecting her now.

For some reason, she fumed. Yet she had no choice but to comply now that she was under Shannon's roof. She reluctantly repeated what she'd said earlier and added more details.

After verifying the truth of Brooklynn's words, Shannon nodded in satisfaction. She was just about to respond when her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the number and answered. As she listened on, she frowned deeply. "What did you say? Jordan's missing?"

…

A heavy fog loomed over the city.

Half an hour ago, a mass of black smoke mixed with the natural fog infiltrated Seastone Security Branch Agency's detention center.

Wherever the black smoke passed, all talismans and arrays meant to contain prisoners dissolved into pools of black water.

Jordan, who'd been asleep, seemed to sense something and sat up. His face was expressionless as he looked ahead to see the black smoke begin enveloping him.

After a short while, the black smoke dissipated along with Jordan.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in an old building on the outskirts of the city.

Nash stood before him and scrutinized him for a long time. Then, he chuckled. "I know you come from the alternate world and the existence behind you who backs you up. I think we might be able to cooperate…"

This time, Jordan looked different from when he faced Shannon. Though his face carried an air of innocence, his expression revealed a deep profoundness.

"Ghost Mist, how dare you dream of working with me if you know who's behind me."

Nash replied, "The Divine Power governs the alternate world, and the one we seek also comes from there. If you help us open a portal to the alternate world, I can offer you the entire fortune of Seastone in return."

Jordan laughed as if he'd heard the best joke of his life. "You think you can seize all of Seastone's fortune?"
