Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1826

Heston and Lexie had stopped most of the Draken villagers, and with Hebrew's prompt instructions to start the livestream, the villagers dared not act rashly.

The cameraman, originally assigned to follow Shannon and film her throughout the event, panicked. He knew full well that today's drama revolved around her and Faye.

But where were they?

Both sides were in a standoff at the village entrance. Meanwhile, at the back of the production team, a figure quietly slipped away.

Shannon, under Benjamin's guidance, instantly appeared inside the village's grand hall.

In front of the village's spacious square stood a large, imposing building with intricate carvings and painted decorations.

Though weathered over time, it was clear that later generations of the clan had taken great care in maintaining it, with exquisite reliefs and colorful inlays serving as proof of the clan's strength and prosperity.

When Shannon and Benjamin suddenly appeared, the elder and a few of the younger villagers who had been guarding the hall looked up, their faces filled with alarm and suspicion.

Shannon, already knowing there would be guards here, continued forward without hesitation.

"Stand right there!" An elder at the forefront, Jasper Drakenshade, shouted, "How could you, a woman, enter the sacred hall?"

Shannon paused at the sound of the voice, then seriously rolled her eyes at the elder in front of her.

It was the 21st century, yet there were misogynistic rules about women not being allowed in certain places.

"I'm in here now, aren't I?" she said, brushing past the few people before her without a second glance. Her gaze immediately began to scan the vast hall.

Finally, following the direction of the negative energy in the room, she found what she was looking for right in front of the courtyard.

It was an ancient stone plaque, worn smooth at the corners after hundreds of years of weathering. Only the words on the plaque remained as clear as ever.

The stone plaque wrote, "Chastity and Loyalty", with a smaller line of text beneath it, now worn by time and barely legible.
