Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2179

With everything laid bare, all that remained was to return Shannon and Benjamin's divine souls to where they belonged.

Considering Zidane's current strength, Mordecai stepped up beside him. Together, the two swiftly used the chroyan branch to open a time-traveling portal.

Shannon and Benjamin's figures soon vanished into the passage.

At the same time, Zidane's soul also dissolved into a wisp of light smoke. Instead of returning to the world with Shannon and Benjamin, he drifted into the body of his present-life self.

Moments later, the cold detachment in his expression gave way to a flicker of clarity. After a long pause, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

Shannon and Benjamin had used the underworld's chroyan branch to open a time-traveling portal. Naturally, upon returning, their souls reappeared within the underworld.

With the Underworld Pass Token, the ghost gates opened effortlessly, and the two souls quickly vanished into the depths of the realm.

It wasn't until they had completely disappeared that within Morvahn's Hall, where Mordecai had been remotely managing underworld affairs through ghostly projection, a spark of mystic light lit up within his soul.

The next moment, his form dissipated in a shimmer, and he reappeared inside Skelldom, the Mystic Headquarters.

On the couch, Zidane was still dressed in his signature suit, now lying in a relaxed, lazy sprawl.

Seeing Mordecai, he merely glanced at him and asked, "I didn't borrow you a portal just for you to collect a fee from me, did I?"

Mordecai remained as stoic and unreadable as ever, his face cold and unsmiling.

He looked at the man lounging on the couch, then countered with a question of his own, "400 years ago, when you suddenly decided to bring together the underworld and mystic arts forces, ultimately founding Mystic… Was it because of those two?"

Zidane straightened his back. The premium material of his suit didn't suffer a single wrinkle from his casual movements just moments ago.

He gazed arrogantly and nonchalantly at Mordecai. "So what if that was the case? So what if it wasn't?"

Mordecai's attitude toward him had never gained an edge over the millennia.

He simply furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "So, are you really planning to follow her lead and help them eliminate Vlad?"

Even the power he had accumulated over the past 400 years was all in preparation to eliminate Vlad.
