Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1556

The delicate bone-handled umbrella had an intricate and ornate canopy. It tilted slightly to reveal Zidane's androgynous face underneath.

His one hand held an umbrella, and the other carried something.

With effortless elegance, he stepped forward to meet the wary gazes of the crowd with a slight arch of his brow. "Oh? Were you all waiting for this soul channel?"

As he spoke, he lifted the object in his hand slightly at Shannon.

Shannon hadn't expected Zidane to return so quickly from the underworld with Eddie's soul channel, but it was undeniably good news.

Freya hopped right into action. She stepped forward to carefully take the soul channel from Zidane to restore it to Eddie.

Zidane watched her movements and debated whether to say something. But seeing the current situation, he changed the subject and said, "I was only gone for a moment. What happened?"

Most of the people here weren't familiar with Zidane. Apart from Shannon and Thalia, the others had just learned about him through the livestream and knew that he was the mysterious owner of the ghost building.

Shannon quickly explained the situation.

When he learned that Seastone was completely cut off from the outside world, and even its internal communications severed, he raised an eyebrow.

Judging from the looks of it, he looked mildly surprised yet unconcerned.

A thought flashed in Shannon's mind. She was reminded of when Thalia had told her that The Rift was incomplete.

Right now it might seem like they were completely disconnected, but one interface remained open. Coupled with the fact that Zidane had just returned through the Ghost Gate with Eddie's soul channel, a possibility crossed her mind.

"The Rift isn't fully formed yet, so the Ghost Gate is still connected to the outside world, isn't it?"

Thalia immediately reacted to her words. Her eyes lit up.
