Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1823

That was why Shannon's team was on their way to Draken Village.

Draken Village was a well-known wealthy village in Gulch. Other than its strong clan traditions, the village was known for birthing exceptional individuals every few years.

They were either brilliant in academics, business-savvy entrepreneurs, or thrived in politics and the military. And Archie was the son of the Draken Village chief.

Though the villagers were either rich or successful, most of the elders and middle-aged folks never left. Even those who made a name for themselves outside always returned every year and stayed for a long time.

Well, they could say they had strong clan values, but to Shannon, a village that could control women and bind souls across lifetimes couldn't possibly be just an ordinary village.

The convoy drove into Draken Village. The village's wealth was visible from the entrance as expected.

A stone archway stood at the entrance. Shannon had seen similar ones like the one in Northrock Village, but the stone archway in Draken Village was way extravagant.

She'd learned about such archways from Eddie when they entered Northrock Village and knew their origins. So, when she noticed that the top of the grand archway was blank, her eyes flickered with confusion.

But soon, that doubt was replaced by an interesting sight she saw—entwined grudge and fortune on the archway. She frowned.

Usually, great fortune was accompanied by merit. But the fortune in this village was tangled with grudge, it was a clear indication that something was very wrong.

Beside her, Benjamin also noticed. A sharp glint of golden light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "With ten generations of power amassed comes the Death of Drakenshade."

In other words, if the Drakenshade clan continued, they would never survive past the tenth generation even without interference from mystic masters.
