Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1838

The situation escalated so quickly that even Maeve couldn't react in time. However, the curly-haired man, Erick Wilder, had already reached out toward Scott's face.

But the moment his long, pale fingers touched Scott's skin, they immediately recoiled as if burned by something. Erick's hand trembled, and the tips of his fingers began to emit a faint white smoke.

His green eyes narrowed even further, and what had previously been a casual attitude now carried an unmistakable sense of danger.

The moment his fingers retracted, Scott felt a sudden heat surge through his chest. Realizing that the protective emerald pendant Shannon had given him had activated, he let out a sigh of relief.

However, before he could even relax, Erick's eyes narrowed, seemingly locking onto his target. With a swift, claw-like motion, he shot forward, aiming for Scott's chest.

It was unclear who screamed, but as soon as Erick's hand touched Scott, a burst of blue flames suddenly erupted around it.

The flames engulfed Erick's hand instantly, and the searing pain was a hundred times more intense than what he had felt earlier.

His face twisted in agony as he quickly recoiled, frantically waving his hand several times before finally managing to extinguish the eerie blue fire.

Kylo had never encountered anything like this before. Having previously been skeptical of Crisean mystic arts, he was now completely rattled after experiencing it firsthand.

His previous arrogance evaporated in an instant, and he shrank back, doing everything he could to avoid being burned by the flames.

The moment Erick's hand was scorched by the fire, he quickly darted to the side, desperate to stay out of harm's way.

Scott, on the other hand, seemed to sense something, his gaze snapping toward the back.

Someone had arrived—someone he hadn't expected—but it didn't stop him from flashing a look of relief and surprise as if he had narrowly escaped a deadly encounter.

"A-Aunt Bianca!"

Not far behind them, Bianca was casually munching on tornado potatoes, with a cat draped over her shoulder and a dog following her at her feet.

Clearly, she was multitasking—handling a mission from the Demon Control Agency while also taking a break.
