Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1825

The younger villagers couldn't help feeling a creeping unease. Was it true that their village had accumulated some kind of karmic debt?

The expressions of the older villagers turned grim. "What do you mean?"

Instead of responding to their questions, Shannon kept her eyes fixed on the two elders before her.

Benjamin stepped forward and looked at the two. Then, he announced in a steady voice, "First, your people began dying before reaching 60. Then, a low fertility rate haunts your descendants.

"At this rate, you and all your clan members will cease to exist in less than a hundred years."

His words were devoid of emotion, yet they loomed over Draken Village like a prophecy of doom. Even the two elders' pupils shrank.

For a long moment, they exchanged a look. Then as if making up their minds, they turned to Shannon. "I know you're here today for that lady. If you promise to stop meddling in our village's affairs, we'll solve her issue."

They were talking about Faye shielded behind Zeno. By getting Shannon to leave Draken Village, they promised to sever Faye's fate that she was to marry the Drakenshades in this generation, and she'd return to normal.

That was originally Shannon's goal but now…

"Too late. We're not just here for her anymore," Shannon said coldly.

She was here for all the sacrificed women for the past hundred years, whose fortunes were used to sustain Draken Village.

Shannon did not waste more time. She stepped back and gave a direct order to Hebrew's crew. "Stay at the village entrance. Turn on the livestream if necessary. They won't dare act rashly with millions watching."
