Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1843

The only thing left was a hefty check to complement the scene.

Bianca was only here for the spectacle, to begin with. Therefore, she let her thoughts run wild.

Shannon didn't pay much attention to Bianca, her gaze focused entirely on Jesse. She watched him walk toward Elda as she silently gestured for him to come closer.

With the triangular word fully exposed on his face, Jesse stepped forward, his expression tense.

Elda didn't move from her seated position but extended her hand, releasing her supernatural power toward his cheek.

The energy was sharp, cutting through the air, and as it made contact with his face, his expression contorted in pain. Following that, he let out a tortured scream.

He wailed miserably, trying to struggle. As if expecting this, Elda placed her other hand on his shoulder.

The pressure was light, yet it felt like an immovable weight, pinning him in place as he could no longer move.

Raiden felt his heart ripping as he listened to Jesse's screams. Before he could speak up, Steen pulled him back. "Don't interrupt Madam Elda."

Bianca didn't seem to mind Jesse's pained cries, as her attention was focused on Steen and Raiden instead.

It was clear now—Steen was the one chosen as Raiden's betrothed, just like a plot from a novel.

Although Scott had followed them in, he hadn't expected such a harsh scene. As he watched Jesse cry out, he saw something unusual.

Something began to shift beneath the triangular word on Jesse's face.

A black, worm-like form appeared beneath the skin, breaking through with an unsettling presence. It hovered in the air, drawn by a mysterious force as if controlled by supernatural energy.

Was this the creature that had been inside Jesse? Everyone stood in stunned silence, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
