Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 858

Edith's words threw the police officers and people in the lobby into a frenzy.

"Human traffickers! I've seen that trick on TV!"

"Human traffickers are so good at acting that I bet the police officer must have been fake."

"Where did you lose your child? We need to track that van down."

The onlookers around her spoke in anxious voices, and the police officers in the lobby gestured for everyone to quiet down. They continued questioning Edith about the location, time, and the van's license plate.

Edith broke down in tears and lost all the ability to think under the constant chattering of the onlookers. All she could do was repeat her desperate plea for them to find her child, Paisy Hooper.

Seeing her distress, the officer decided to escort her into her room and calm her down when a clear resonant voice rose from the crowd.

"...Calm the mind, and I'll be at peace; may heart and mind align, and to tune the soul…"

As Skylar strode forward with his hands forming mudras, he chanted and approached Edith.

"Trust all to be fine, and I shall be calm; for they have no power, to shake my psyche…"

Some onlookers were puzzled, and the female officer holding Edith's arm looked sternly at Skylar.

She was about to scold him for interfering when Skylar finished his incantation and directed his mudra to Edith's forehead in one swift motion.

To everyone's surprise, Edith who'd been on the verge of breakdown and had been held back by two officers, gradually relaxed.

Skylar seized the moment to ask her the same questions the officer had, and she answered clearly without hesitation. "On Olive Street about ten minutes ago…"

She paused and struggled to remember before providing the van's model and license plate.
