Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2207

Thalia and Shannon vowed to intervene.

Whether or not Shannon had manifested her tenth tail, she was the only mystic master to wield the power of a nine-tailed fox.

She and Thalia, both mystic masters born of half-demon blood, turned to look at Reuben in unison.

Though Louise had ordered him to remain outside the clan grounds and protect the demons of Jamborough, he was one of the only two nine-tailed foxes in the Wynthrope clan's history. Surely, he knew of a way to bypass the activated clan barrier and enter.

Benjamin also turned to look at him.

Under the weight of the three sets of eyes, Reuben lowered his gaze slightly but calmly replied, "I can't help you."

The Wynthorpe clan's clan barrier was an ancient array and a final line of defense for the Wynthorpe bloodline. An array like that would never be left with a weakness, let alone be forcibly opened from the outside.

"Once the clan barrier is activated, only the Ruler of Foxes can undo it. There is no other way than that."

He understood their urgency and desperation, but once Louise had made her choice, there was no way to change it.

Shannon studied Reuben's expression and knew he wasn't lying. If they couldn't get in to fix the problem within the clan, that left one alternative…

"If we can't go in, we'll just have to find Vlad and destroy the source of the malice itself."

Fortunately, Vlad had delivered Trevaris straight into their hands. They could track down Vlad's current location through him.

Seeing that Shannon wasn't joking, Reuben and Luke frowned. "Nonsense."

Reuben let out a rare, contemptuous scoff. Having personally fought against Vlad, no one understood the latter's ability better than he did.

Even if Vlad had remained in hiding, facing him head-on with the power of a nine-tailed fox was a hopeless gamble. The outcome wouldn't change even with the protection of the Dragon Vein.

Even if they could eliminate Vlad himself, it wouldn't solve the deeper problem within the Wynthorpe clan.
