Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1397

Nash was rendered speechless by Heston's refute. Lexie complimented, "Good bone!"

Shannon took advantage of his distraction, raising her hand to pull out a spirit-locking talisman, preparing to work with Heston to subdue him. No matter what, they had to neutralize him first.

However, just as she made a move, Nash, who had already sensed the shift, turned his head, his eyes narrowing as he cast a sharp, menacing glance her way. "I suggest you think twice before you act on your impulses."

His voice carried a hint of mockery. Shannon seemed to realize something, and her eyes snapped up just in time to see that from the area where the black smoke had covered earlier, black smoke orbs were now floating up, one after another.

Shannon recognized these black smoke orbs. They were the same kind that he had used to trigger the explosion in the reception room.

These smoke orbs not only melted her talismans but also released black water that would turn into sinister energy, poisoning everything around it.

The one from before had already been troublesome enough, but now, floating in the air were at least a dozen of them. Once these smoke orbs exploded together, they would obliterate most of the village.

Seeing Shannon's clear apprehension, Nash seemed to finally feel like he had gained the upper hand, letting out a sinister, gleeful laugh. "You really thought I'd come here unprepared?"

He taunted, scanning the crowd before him. "Listen up, all of you. Hand over the Emeralda Stone, or each of you will meet your demise."

The others didn't know what the black orbs floating in the air were, but they instinctively sensed the danger they posed.

Shannon's heart gradually sank. However, her countenance remained unchanged as she decisively replied, "There's nothing like that here."

As if to validate her words, the surrounding villagers echoed, "Right, nothing like that here."

"We're all ordinary villagers. What even is an Emeralda Stone? We've never heard of it."

"Uh, Mr. Black Monster? You've got the wrong place."
