Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1542

"What we want is the fortune of the entire Seastone City."

Isolating the city was only the first step. Since acquiring fortune required some amount of time, they had to prevent the mystic arts community from noticing the phenomenon and intervening.

As for Shannon and the other mystic masters already in Seastone, it wasn't a big problem for them.

It was previously mentioned that Seastone and Jamborough held half of Crisea's fortune. Seastone had gathered a considerable number of people with great fortune, and it was also one of the reasons why the system specifically chose this place to acquire fortune.

That said…

"Even I only dared to steal the fortune of two wealthy families, while they plan to take the entire city's fortune? They're so greedy!" Tortoise the System expressed its dissatisfaction.

Paying no mind to its complaint, Shannon felt the gradual changes in her body while questioning Adeela, "The power of words from ten million people still isn't enough to isolate an entire city. What else have you guys done?"

Adeela gazed at her deeply for a moment before nodding, saying, "You're very clever, Shannon. For this array to work, of course, it can't do without its core items."

She looked at Shannon with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. "You actually weren't part of The Rift, but… Who told you to meddle with things you shouldn't have?"

She extended her hand, pointing directly at Shannon's chest. "Do you remember the serpent demon bone you unearthed from beneath the villa? That was one of the core items of The Rift.

"The supernatural strength of the demon bone connects with the array. By absorbing the supernatural power within that demon bone, you have now become part of the core items."

Although she had her suspicions, Shannon couldn't help but be surprised still.

So, that strange sensation in her body was because the supernatural power of the demon bone sensed the array's call.
