Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2194

At that moment, a figure stood atop Adam's car.

A sweep of fiery fox tail flickered through the air, sending Flynn into unconsciousness. The next instant, he collapsed to the ground.

Adam didn't show much panic at that sight. He merely stepped back once, calmly lifting his gaze to see the figure standing atop the car—or, more precisely, the demon.

Fiery red fox tails flared freely behind her as the woman looked down at him from above, a hint of amusement and curiosity in her eyes.

Suddenly, she leaned forward, baring her teeth at him in a mock-threatening gesture, her face shifting into full fox form. It was snarling, fanged, and absolutely terrifying.

An unfazed Adam stood still, staring at the fox before him as though she were a human. Then, with a deep voice, he addressed her, "Aunt Marilyn."

One simple address froze Marilyn's mid-snarling grin. Her ears twitched slightly, and she abruptly shifted back into her human form, narrowing her eyes at him with curiosity.

"You know me?"

Adam gave a quiet nod. "Thalia's mentioned you before."

His gaze briefly swept over the seven fox tails behind her, and then, with composed solemnity, he added, "I have you to thank for helping Hector out of that barrier and returning him to the clan."

Marilyn casually sat cross-legged on the car roof and waved him off. "No need for that. I didn't do it for you anyway."

Hector was Thalia's child, and by blood, that made him her great-nephew.

Adam's expression remained serious. "As his father, I should've come to thank you long ago."

With that, he turned and walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and carefully lifted out two gift boxes.
